attitude Of the German workers at the

Washington is really learning
how to behave itself.
That doesn't mean that we are all
growing wings on our shoulder
blades, but it does mean that we
are becoming decidedly better.
And it is all because whisky isn't
so easv to get as it used to be.
when we could get it easily. as the
police court records will show. we
did some very indiscreet things and
cot into trouble thereby. But since
November l, 1917, or a short time
thereafter, and more particularly
since the town went "bone-dry" we
have changed.
Assistant United States District
Attorney Given and Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Ringgold Hart are
the men who are decidedly in po-
sition to know the trend of wick

And both of them are highly

again. Right now the docket may
be said to be under normal.
Il can see a decided Improvement

yesterday morning. The atmo-

clouded for a long time with liquor
has begun to clear and l am con-
yinced that the improvement will con-
tinue. There is decided drop in
liquor cases" Mr.. Given stated, "and
there is also a drop in such cases
as assault. wife-beating, threat cases,
concealed-weapon cases, etc, such as
arise from an indiscreet use of al
coholic drinks. We are now getting
into a position where we will be
able to take care of the business as
IL comes in. instead of having the
court docket become congested be-
yond description as it has been for
the past few months.
THE only real relief we have had"
continued Mr.. Givens, has come
since the Reed amendment went into
effect. OF course after the Sheppard
law went into effect there was a de-
crease in a certain class of cases,
but with the liquor cases coming in
and causing a congestion. we were
almost as bad off as we were be-
fore.
But now. after a few weeks OF the
Reed amendment, / feel that things
have certainly changed for the better.
l am actually surprised at the way
the situation is clearing. Ordinarily
we have all we. can handle with our
regular business in normal times,
but the past eighteen months have
been a period we will not forget in
long time
