HALF CHANCE
PROHIBITION
WORKS WELL
Many Saloons Close, Others
Sell Beer and Stronger
Drinks on the Sly

In a story on the first thirty days
of national prohibition the New York
Tribune says:
ARRESTS for intoxication are fewer.
In July, 1918, the daily average for
this offense was 24; in July, 1919
it was IA"
1t is also declared by the Tribune
that crime of all kinds has decreased
about Is per cent.
1t should be clearly understood
however, that full prohibition is not
yet in operation in the United States.
The coming into effect of the law has
been delayed by the usual lawyer
methods so that there is still con-
siderable trade in beer and, of course
where beer is sold, stronger liquors
may almost invariably be had. 1t is
probable, however, that majority
of the saloons of the country are
closed and the people are giving very
small patronage to those that are de-
flying the law until the usual court
procedure for delaying prohibition
has been exhausted. There has been
a tremendous increase in the demand
for soda water, ice cream, fruit jucies
and candy; a largely increased at
tendance at picture shows and greater
business activity in retail trade.
The Result in the Cities
The American Issue sums up the
result of prohibition in various for
merly wet cities as follows:
Baltimore: Fewer than 60 arrests
were made throughout the entire city
on the second Saturday night of pro-
hibition and only four arrests were
made for drunkenness.
Philadelphia: For the first time in
20 years the two station houses in
the tenderloin were empty of prison
ers AZ hours after prohibition went
into effect.
New York City: Nowhere were the
effects of prohibition more marked
than on the famous Bowery on the
first dry Saturday. Nary a solitary
drunk was noticed on the streets that
used to be their havens.-New York
Herald, July 7.
Pittsburgh: Average number of
prisoners in Magistrate Sweeney's
court in alcoholic days so to 1875
dwindled to three on July 7. But
three arrests in the day in the down
town district.
Chicago: Arrests for drunkenness
and disorder at five police stations
June 25, so. Same stations July 2, 18.
Kansas City: On the Fourth of
July only two cases of drunkenness
were reported at headquarters. Last
year 25 drunks were locked up on
the Fourth.
San Francisco; No arrests for any
offense from II o'clock of the night
of the Fourth until o'clock of the
morning of the 5th, an unprecedented
record for a similar period. Fourth
of July last year, AZ arrests for
drunkenness.
Cincinnati: Not asingle drunk in
the police court on the morning of
July 5.
Coney Island (New York;: On July
Fourth last year there were 1870 ar
rests for intoxication at the resort;
this year with twice as many in at
tendance there were eight arrests.
