LETTERS

Dear Miss Grey: As we are soon
to vote on Initiatives 10 and "a, |
feel that tho voters should know
this true story:
A school teacher In mining
camp near here told me that when
she first took her posltion she
couldn't understand tho actual stu.
pidlty OF the foreign boys In her
room. on Monday they were 80
dull that they couldn't learn any
thing. and on Tuesday they were
but little better. by Wednesday
they began TO respond 20 the teach
Ing a little. and Thursday and Fri.
day they were almost normal. AIT.
er several weeks OF this aho went
20 the principal with her problem,
and he told her that they had tho
same trouble with nearly all OF tho
foreign boys. When they lnVestl.
gated they found that the fathers
Of these boys carried on regular
drinking orgies Saturday nights and
Sundays. and tina, there was a sort
OF rivalry on between tho fathers TO
see whose son could drink the mos,
beer. That meant that these chill.
dren (~ho will be future American
ei,ixeral were kept In a constant
state OF drunkenness from satur.
day night tlll Sunday night.
When the prohibition law went
Into effect. there was an immediate
change In these boys, and they I'm
proved wonderfully. Not that the
men stopped buying liquor, bu, they
did stop giving u TO the children.
for they wanted the comparatively
small quantity themselves.

feel that liquor In your home will
not harm your child. think Of these
children u viii harm. Ask your
self. "Wlli u do me or mine any

answer "Yes" 20 that question.
