many counties in the South had voted
local option.
Maine Was First Dry state.
Maine was the first State to adopt
prohibition, restriction being placed
on the sale of liquors there in 1916.
Real prohibition was enected in 1851
there, but 1t was repealed in 1855.
Then again in 1858 it was re-enacted
by a to 1 vote.
Kansas was the second state to
fall into the dry column, the vote be-
ing taken in 1881. The law, how
ever, was Iaxly enforced until about
fifteen years ago.
This lax enforcement started Car
rie Nation, noted prohibition smash
ing career. Armed with an ak, she
demolished the fixtures OF several
Kansas saloons running wide open in
violation of the State law. Her sue
cess at breaking up Kansas saloons
with an extensive propaganda cam
paign. caused her to continue her bar
smashing in other States.
North Dakota Was Third.
North Dakota followed Kansas,
adopting prohibition in 1889, and was
the first State to call a special ses-
sion OF the legislature for the ratifi-
cation OF the Federal amendment.
The scattering prohibition efforts
had little effect on the consumption
Of liquor. Served as a part OF the
government ration to soldiers during
the civil war, the annual per capita
consumption gradually climbed from
about 6.5 gallons in 1860, until 1t
reached almost twenty-three gallons
in 1906. This figure was only slight
ly reduced until 1915, since when the
consumption has dropped to 1914 gal
Ions.
After a long tight in Congress. led
by Richmond p. Hobson. Alabama,
hero of the Merrimac, first action on
the National prohibition amendment
was obtained in committees Of the
Sixty-fourth Congress, neither the
Senate or the House approving the
plan at the time. Senator Morris
Sheppard, Texas, introduced the
gresham Edwin Y. Webb, North
Carolina, in the House. The same
resolution was presented to the
Sixty-fifth Congress in December,
1915. On December IA, 1916, the
House Judiciary committee reported
it out. Finally the prohibition
amendment was passed by the Senate,
August 1. 1917, by a vote OF sixty-1lve
to twenty, and in the House, Decem-

Uncle Sam, Once Leading
TippIer of World, Climbs
On Water Wagon Tonight

Uncle Sam, for years past the great
est consumer Of intoxicating liquor,
tonight will take his seat on the
worlds water wagon.
Nationwide prohibition-the dream
OF reformers for a century-becomes
reality at midnight, when the war
time prohibition act, passed during
! the struggle with Germany to con-
serve food, went into effect. despite
the appeal of President Wilson that
Congress repeal it as il affects beer
and light wines. Under the. act all
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors are crimes against the United
States
Whether Uncle Sam will desert the
well-known water wagon;.-for a brief
spree before Constitutional prohibit
ton replaces the wartime act next
January, depends on Congress and
President Wilson. Congress can re-
peal the act. as the President par
TALLY desires, or the President can
declare rehabilitation of the armed
forces complete, thus in effect re-
pealing it as he has said he will do,
but has not stated how soon.
What Prohibition Means.
Wartime prohibition today means:
The closing of $4,000 saloons, prin-
cipally in big cities.
The closing of 1,247 breweries
(1917 figures).
Practical abandonment OF GAS dis
tilleries, already closed as a war
measure.
Loss to the Government Of about
$35O,OOO,OOO annually in internal rev.
enue, and the loss of several hundred
millions to municipalities for licenses.
Diversion Of $4,000, OOO, OOO-the ma
tion's liquor bill-to other purposes,
with greatly increased sales OF soft
drinks and ice cream expected.
Thousands Thrown Out of Work.
Hundreds of thousands of men,
employed in the liquor business, must
find other work.
The productive wealth and eff
cheney of the country will be in
creased Is per cent, dry leaders
claim. basing this on reports from
prohibition States.
Fifty thousand druggists will be
put under strict license not to sell
liquor except for medical or scientific
purposes.
Enforcement Big Problem.
Enforcement of prohibition, even
dry leaders admit, will be big prob
lem for some time. Even with Con.
gress designating a definite agency
for the work and clearly defining how
much alcohol makes liquor intoxicat-
ing. the task seems 'stupendous.
The work of Government agents
means, If bone dry prohibition is to
be strictly enforced, the elimination
of a per capita consumption Of 1914
gallons a year from the American
people. Latest figures show the con-
sumption of malt liquors in the
United States as 2.053, 49, 900 gallons;
wines. 52,41s.00O gallons. and alcohol,
l46,397, 900 gallons. These figures
probably have been reduced during
the last year because of the rapid
advance of prohibition.
Achievement of national prohibition
has been one of the most spectacular
as we'll as one of the longest, reform
movements in American history. Pro-
hibition gained little ground until
the present movement started, about
fifteen years ago. Then there were
only three dry States: Maine, Kan
sas, and North Dakota although

CHINA'SMAIDSLON
FOR DIAMOND LOVE

CHICAGO, June 3O.-Diamond en-
gagement rings for almond-eyed &C.
lestiaI maids are blazing the way of
occidental civilization in its invasion
of China
The engagement ring set with dia-
monds is one effect white mans civili-
zation has had on my country" said
Chang Hop Lii, a Chinese merchant
visiting Chicago. Chinese girls, who
never in all the centuries adorned them
selves with much diamond jewelry.
have taken up this new fashion OF
wearing a diamond engagement ring.
The maids OF the middle classes, and
even those in humber walks OF life,
now feel themselves sighted and held
in cheap esteem il their suitors do not
give them a diamond to sparkle on
their finger in token of their APP
preaching nuptials. 1t is now the &C
cepted thing for a young man to tell
his sweetheart with a diamond that
he loves her.
This style adopted from occidental
peoples has brought new prosperity
to the Chinese jewelry merchants.
Diamonds are in great demand in
China, not only for rings. but for all
other jewelry purposes"
