SALVATION ARMY IS CHANGED BY
 PROHIBITION
(By Ray T. Tucker)

Few institutions of this country have been so much transformed by the advent of prohibition as has the Salvation Army. Its slogan of "A man may be down but never out'' is just as true, just as much needed ana is fought for just as effectively as were the ideals the 'Sallies'' fought for behind the front lines a, few short years ago, but another slogan has had to be added, which is none other than Let the little children come unto me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' The Salvation Army Offic- CTS have known it for years and years as they washed the wounds of those time battles, but every officer now knows how sorrowfu1ly true it is that the sins of the fathers must be borne l by the children and the mothers of 1 the wrecls left in prohibitions wake. l The "Army's'' reconStrUction work has really just begun, now that pro- l hibition has diverted its care into | other channels. The time and atten- l ton formerly given to raising the l drunkard from the gutter can now 1 be spent, with more intensity, on 1 those who innocently suffered from 1 the neglect of generations and gen
 erations of forgetful fathers. The l children and the mothers, who are, in i the last analysis, the we1lsprings of l our national life, have now come in I to their own. In former years the 1 Army had little time to go deep 1 to the root of the trouble; now it is l giving much of its time to clearing 1 away the aftermath of sorrow and | poverty and suffering, to smoothing l out the wrong lines of a mothers 1 face, and to fitting newborn babies ! for the future
 This is the real reconstruction 1 work for which few agencies are fit I ted so well as the Army" which
 from its years of contact with vice | and crime and suffering has learned | to walk in the Valley of the Shadow of Death with those whose paths
 rarely wander to brighter or cleaner l fields. Hence the hospitals, the free
 milk distribution centers, the dental 1 clinics, the treatments for eye, cal and nose affHctions---aM establish
 ed with the central idea of curing hereditary or acquired affEctions
 directly traceable to the sins of the
 fathers.

 "Arny's'' activities comes only from attendance at it's street corA-er rnee, ings or at a mission in the poorer

been poorly rewarded. and whose only relic of hoped for happiness is a tiny red faced squalling baby up- stairs in the bassinet room, a baby whose future was as dark as the brok- en-hearted, unmarried mothers un- til both came into the care of the Army"
 Babies, babies. babies,-black and white and of intermedia coIors- crowd the big clean room where there are rows on rows of tiny white bas- sinets. There are all kinds-sone as old as a month, with cheeks begin ming to bulge out and fingers just learning to find they were made To dig into a visitors face and if quick enough, able to gouge out one of his eyes.

The Salvation Army does not adver- tise it's goodness; the matron who | takes you through will quickly step ahead and shut doors or place screens to shield her injured children from i the eyes of straingers. Kindly in- fluences and strong help is all the Army has for those whom the | world too quickly condemns.

BOOZE.
 FOR CARTRIDGES

Both banks of the Rio Grande have become popular international trade marks where thirsty Americans, long on cartridges but short on firewater, hold midnight business conferences with bloodthirsty Mexicans, long on strong drink but short on ammun1- ton. Reports have it that there is a bull market in booze.
 Edwin G. Burrows, in writing of this new phase of the perplexing Mexican question, says: "One of the most flourishing jobs in the Mexican forces since the United States went dry has been the Service of Supplies along the border. We want liquor, and they want ammunition. Some times they have paid as much as sixty cents Mex-about thirty cents in real money-for a single cartridge, and the usual rate is about fifteen cents. Prices on liquor are cores pondingly high on this side. It is not all pulque either, but real imported wines and liqueurs. So a brisk trade has been going on through the gaps in our border patrol.
 ''The border is long, and Yankee ! cavalrymen can not guard all of it The aviators can cover a lot ot ground, or air, but they cannot work i in night shifts. The Rio Grande is not so grand at most times of the year that a pack-train, led by man ] who knows the country, cannot cross 1 without steering clear of the Army posts. And the eagerness of the
 Mexican for cartridges is surpassed i only by the intensity of the great l American thirst
 Most of the cartridges and practi
 calIy all of the liquor make the triI l in disguise. Can you imagine goot 1 old Kentucky Bourbon camouflagec as lumber? Much of that which camt 1 across the border was not only aget 1 in the wood, but transported tn.
