San Francisco Drunks Decrease,
but Drug Victims Are Plentiful

SAN FRANCISCO. July Slater
a month OF prohibition. San Fran
cisco finds her families more con-
genial. her male population less
given to fighting. her Automobiles
more careful--but with much liquor
still comparatively easy OF access.
During the month preceding July
there were 2,s62 arrests by San
Francisco police. 92s OF these being
charged with drunkenness. In the
first 80 days OF prohibition there were
2.o43 arrests. including i57 for drunk
enness.
Assault and battery cases h We
dropped Off 95 per cent and the other
petty misdemeanors have shown a
similar decrease in the police courts
In the first dry MONTH" william IL
Nicoll. chief OF the adult probation
department. told the United Press to-
day. "Neighborhood fights. which
used to keep our department busy.
have fallen away in frequency and
family brawls. caused by excessive
drinking. are rapidly disappearing
from our records.
There is a serious menace at pres-

Los Angeles Chain Gang Wiped
Out; Soft Drinks Are Popular

Los ANGELES. Cal, July Silt
has taken just month of prohi-
bition to wipe out the Los Angeles
chain gang and to multiply the con-
sumption OF soft drinks by 10.
Those were the outstanding fea.
lures of the local situation today
after 30 days without liquor.
June 30. when the nation went
dry, there were over so persons
serving jail sentences for drunken.
ness or vagrancy. of whom 40 were
eligible for service on the county
chain gang. But today there Is no
chain gang because there are only
five prisoners in jail eligible for
service. What people are drinking
In the place OF stimulants Is shown
clearly by the internal revenue Of.
fees report. During the two
months OF May and June collections
OF war tax on soft drinks in Los
Angeles totaled $13,552.90, or less
than $1,000 per month. During
July the collections have totaled
$94,366.74. an increase Of over 1900
per cent.
Automobile accidents have de.
creased about "a per cent, accord.
Ing to the best estimates available.

possessed Of a kick"
While there has been a drop in ar.
rests for drunkenness. there has been
gain In the number Of arrests on
charges Of drug using and selling.
Whether this Is due to former liquor
users turning to narcotics or merely
to vigilance being shifted from
"drunks" toward hop heads" and
SNOW birds has not been definitely
established as yet.
Automobile accidents have de.
creased nearly a third since the com
ing Of the dry" days. the traffic de.
partment states. while there Is a
big decrease in number OF speeders
arrested. There is a considerable re.
duction In other forms of accidents
this month over the June record, and
this is attributed to the lack OF in.
toxicated persons carelessly crossing
streets.
Thus far. a "dry" San Francisco
has made no difference In the con.
sumption Of water. neither has II ma.
terially affected bank clearings. The
latter show only the usual annual
gain over last years business.
with the average human being
using 40 gallons of water a day, and
the usual amount OF water d r n k
varying from a pint to three pints.
there is no difference at all in the
consumption of water here" said o.
