DRYLAW REDUCES BY HALF
BROOKLY N.S POVERTY ROLL
Statistics Showing Improvement Are Contained in the
Annual Report OF Bureau of Charties-Cases of -
Wife-Beating Now Almost Nil.

Mr.. Hanigan states that all opin-
ions based on tho report must neces-
sarily be tentative inasmuch as the
prohibition amendment has been In
operation less than a year.
However. tho facts stand. The
agents report that poverty Ia now
due In the main to illness, chieAy tu-
oerculosis. Poverty in Brooklyn has
taken on a quieter aspect 1t is no
longer tubulent chaotic condition.
Poverty exists: there are something
Ike $500 cases in the Borough today,
but 1t Is silontor. cleaner poverty.
The evil OF alcohol which formerly
worried tho families and drove them
out to charitable institutions, brought
with 1t the conoomitants OF cruelty.
1t was common occurrence for the
father to hit his wife with a chair.
The municipal courts last year were
ciogsed with cases Of wife and child
beating by mon under the influence
OF liquor. Today those have fallon
away. Prohibition has rescued fam
lilies from misery which was almost
chronic.
Men now stay at home and have
learned TO enjoy the company of their
wives and children. There is less
labor unrest in Brooklyn as a result
or the law. Men hold on TO their
Jobs longer and wear better clothes.
Men are not drinking today for two
reasons, says Mr.. Hanigan, fear of
the quality Of the stun being sold.
fear OF the law.
1t Is pointed out that were prohibit
uon vigorously enforced the total OF
cases due to liquor ought to be nil
AS 1t stands. and taking into con-
sideration all the circumstances Mr..
flanagan finds the condition of affairs
extremely encouraging.
