OF PROHIBITION
Crabbe Says Delaware Bet
ter Off Than Many
States
HOPE WORLD
WILL BECOME DRY

Prohibition conditions in Delaware
are much better than in many other
states, according to the Rev. C. w.
Crabbe, superintendent Of the Della
ware and Maryland Antl-Saloon
League. Mr.. Crabbe spoke yesterday
in Mt. Salem NJ. r. Church.
The speaker denied that the eigh-
teenth amendment was put overr by
any underhanded means. and ex-
pressed the hope that prohibition
would become international.
A. J. Williamson, assistant super-
intendent of the Anti-SaloOn League.
gave an interesting talk at First and
Central Presbyterian Church yester-
day lie said the contention of the
Anti7Sal0on League was that the
matter or prohibition Is not an ex-
pertinent but the result OF scientific
study.
Mr.. Williamson said that the Amer
lean Medical Association, composed
u about $1,000 physicians, had made
a study Of alcohol in medicine and
was almost unanimous I'm the opinion
that II could be dispensed with. There
are % States that prohibit the pre-
scribing Of alcohol for medical pur-
poses.
