BOOZE GOES OUT AND
FURNITURE COMES IN
President McMahone of House Fur

land, Asserts People Buying More
and Better Furniture

President Barnard A. McMahone o
the House Furnishers' Association o
New England at recent annual meet
ing of the Association in Springfield
Mass, declared that Prohibition woul,
prove to be one of the greatest bless
lngs that has ever come to the furni
ture trade. He said:
People are already buying more
and better furniture. Men who
have spent two dollars and up a
week for liquor will turn most of
that money into channels that
will benefit the home. This is
not guess, it is a proven tact
and furniture dealers must pre-
pare to meet this demand Since
the armistice was signed the fur
niture dealers have done an abb
normal business and more will
come with the arrival of dry
times. Furniture manufacturers
are already swamped with orders.
Some even sold their entire
years output during the first three
days of the buying season, while
virtually all OF them are beyond
ordinary capacity OF production
in an effort to meet the unusual
demands.

DRY LAW BOON TO NY.
AMUSEMENT COMPANIES
Big Film Producer Says Broadway
Locations Are at Premium

According to the New York Tribune
of August |, the one month of Prohi-
bition has added thousands to the pa
irons of New York's amusement
places. The usual decline in theater
attendance looked for at the beginning
of July has completely reversed itself,
according to this newspaper, and not
only are the shows playing to capacity
houses, but producers are booking
elaborate productions for earlier dates
for the coming season than ever be-
fore. darlington Baker, general man
ager of the Universal Film Manufac-
turing Company, distributors of NOV
ing pictures to almost every town in
the United States, said:
There is little doubt that Prohi-
bition has been a great help to the
theater business. Moving picture
houses in New York and through
out the country. have been bene-
fitted. Coming at time when
managers are expecting decline
in box office receipts the dry law
has seemed to increase attendance.
1t has been noticeable in places
where dry laws went into effect
long before the wartime Prohibi-
ton act, that almost invariably
theater attendance has improved
and it has been evident especially
since the law affected the entire
country. Broadway amusement
locations are at a higher premium
now and several big productions
are scheduled far in advance of
the usual season.

WAR DRY ACT MAY SOLVE
THE SERVANT PROBLEM
Pittsburg Says Local u. S. Employ
ment Bureau Has Many Applica-
tons of Former Women Cafe EN-
ployes for Places in Homes

The Pittsburg Gazette Times says
that according to statement made
by the women's department of the
United States employment service of
Pittsburg, the enforcement of war
time Prohibition may solve the serv-
ant problem.
Last week, according to officials of
the department, number of women
formerly employed in positions de-
pendent upon the liquor business have
made applications. These women
come from restaurants that were con-
Quoted in connection with places
where liquor was sold and from bot
Ting houses of the breweries and dis
tilleries in the Pittsburg district The
ma jority Of these women desire posi-
tons as domestics and a number of
them who were formerly employed as
cooks are we'll qualified to serve in
that capacity in homes.
There was a large demand for this
class of help and those who have ap-
piled this week have been sent out to
positions without delay.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1919-08-15

that that effect is beneficial Some OF
them declared that in the districts in
which they conduct their business
there is no such thing as Prohibition,
that just as much liquor is being sold
as ever. However, the Tribune quotes
Mr.. Schierloh, a prominent real es-
tate man, as saying:
Prohibition, such as it is, hasn't
harmed the real estate men in this
district and will prove a real BEN
eht to them as time goes on.
He explained that six OF every ten
tenants previously dispossessed we're
dispossessed because they spent their
money on drink. He said the tenants
were being dispossessed as previous
ly but that he looks for the number
to decrease as Prohibition grows
more rigid.

The effect of Prohibition upon Kan

particularly noticeable. Pay day
sprees which usually ran extra innings
of two or three days necessitated spe-

superintendent of the Armour Com

for work on Mondays. By Tuesday
a lesser number were absent and by
Wednesday mos. of the men were

FALLS CITY Being DRY CLEANED
Louisville, KY. Police Docket
Collapses
Prohibition Brings Big Results
in Kentucky
Wet Batting Average, 1865; Dry,
Seventy-Three
Dry Achievements Confound
Wet Claims

Statistics on the police court docket
of Louisville, Ky, for the first twelve
days of July, 1919, compared with
the first twelve days OF July, 1918,
show most extraordinary change
following the advent of nationwide
Prohibition.
From July l to July II, 1918, there
were vi cases on the police court
docket in Louisville, including cases
of all descriptions that came into
court following arrests by police off
GERS. OF the III cases loo were for
drunkenness or for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. On the same
twelve days of the present year there
was total of only 442 cases on the
docket, of which only 70 were for
drunkenness or for drunkenness and
disordcrly conduct. Both of these
latter totals included the arrests made
on the last day of the sale of liquor,
June 80.
Z One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the situation is the decrease
of cases exclusive of drunkenness. In
1918 during the twelve days referred
to there were COS cases heard in the
police court in which drunkenness
was not one of the charges. During
the same days OF the present year
there were only SOL cases. This ccr-
tainly indicates that many time Of
lenses were committed which de-
manded the interference OF the police
In which liquor was the contributing
cause.
