Mr.. Eliot said that young women
are meeting young men in what he
termed "whoozy' condition at social
affairs which are countenanced by pa

fact that these young women do not
object to meeting men in this condi-
ton, he declared, is impending en-

had come under his observation to
show that conditions among working
people had improved through prohi-
bition.
