PROHIBITION HAS
REDUCED INSANITY

The coming of prohibition has de-
creased the number of admissions to
insane hospitals Of New York State.
A similar decrease in the number Of
persons with mental diseases due to
the use Of drugs has been found, ac-
cording to an article by Horatio NJ.
Pollock, statistician of New York
State hospital commission, in the cur
rent number of Mental Hygiene, the
journal Of the national committee for
Mental hygiene.
Even before the coming of federal
prohibition there was an override
creasing number of cases from ex-
cessive use of alcohol. The 10 New
York State hospitals were studied by
DIR. Pollock. His investigation dis
closed the fact that during last year
a decrease in number of first adj
missions from all causes was shown,
a fact which he considers as offer
ing ray of light in the whole gloomy
problem of mental disease.
II 1917, a year marked by an in
crease in mental difficulties, at
tributed to the war, the number of
first admissions was 90 per 100000
Of general population, while in 1920
# rad dropped to 63.3 Alcoholic
first admission dropped from 1913
per cent of total first admissions in
1919 to 1.9 in 1920. The percentage
Of persons admitted for all causes
who were users of alcohol fell from
81 in 1917 to 1872 in 1920.
While excessive use Of drugs has
never beer an important cause Of
insanity in the state, DR. Pollok
found that there was nothing to in
dicate anv increased use of s''bsti
tutos for alcohol with the comirg Of
rrohihition. but that on the contrary
drug phvchoses had decreased.
In summing up his report, DIR.
Pollock says:
"The great reduction in the rate
Of admissions Of new alcoholic cases
srco tho 18th anne dTent went into
effect indicates that excessive drink
inc has been much lessened, if not
entirely stopped"

NEW CLOCK TIMEKEEPER
FOR SHORT OPERATIONS

Boiling eggs, developing photo
graphs or any other operation that
requires short but accurate account
Of time, may be allowed to proceed
without attention through the use of
novel clock, described and illus
trated in the April Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The four-inch
dial is at the top, and in the lower
part of the case is vertical scale,
reading up to 80 minutes in one
minute divisions, and carrying a
small slide that is set by hand. At
the end of the period set, four inch
gong on the back rings until it is
shut off. Though a valuable adj
dition to the home kitchen, the new
time-keeping clock is intended es-
pecially as a labor saving accessory
for hotel and restaurant kitchens,
photo galleries, laboratories and
other places where the measurement
of minutes is needed.

JACKSON ASKS SUPREME
COURT TO COME HOME

A delegation Of lawyers and bust
ness men from Jackson were in Mem
phis the latter part of last week
for the purpose of urging local law
years ago which practically resulted
measure pending before the legisla-
ture to repeal the law passed two
vars ago which practically resulted
in disseminating the sittings of the
supreme court in West Tennessee.
The constitution Of the state pro-
vides that the supreme court shall
sit in Knoxville, Jackson and Nash
villo, in each Of the three grand di-
visions of the state. Two years ago
a bill was passed authorizing the
transfer Of Shelby county cases to
the supreme court in Nashville. The
result has been to practically dis
continue the West Tennessee sittings
Of the supreme court.
The people of Jackson naturally
are interested in restoring the court
70 their own town, first, because it
means the presence Of a large num-
Der of lawyers and litigants in jack
son dUrinv three months of each
year; and IN the second place, they
feel they are due it because the con-
stitution specifically provides that
the court shall sit in Jackson.
1t is understood that the members
OF the court prefer to try cases COM
ing before the court from the West
Tennessee doekets in Nashville, and
while there is considerable inconven-
icnee involved for the lawyers, many
of them prefer to go to Jackson, they
do not care to encounter the dis
pleasure of the court by opposing its
wishes in the matter.

IN The RIVAL CAMPS
Daily Dope From the Front on
Jack and Georges, Who Are to
Meet Fistically July 2.

Atlantic City, June 24.-Jack Dempsey to-
day is celebrating his twenty sixth birth
| day by taking a 24-hour lay off from all
training activities. The champion did no
real work and suspended his usual gym
nasium exercises. The camp was closed to
the public fol. the day and his sparring
partners rested up preparatory to the re-
sumption Of boxing tomorrow.
| With the championship battle only eight
days away dempsey is progressing so rap
idly in his training and is in such splendid
condition that Manager Jack Kearns has
decided that he will not require the ser
vices of Kid Norfolk the negro lightweight,
Harry Greb, Mike Gibbons and others who
were expected to be in Dempsey's camp for
the final week of training. The present
sparring partners, Kearns said, will con-
tinue to work with Dempsey until the
finish. --s-..- $

Will Skirts Come Down?

i"nO the prices paid for articles of
wearing apparel in any way in
f1uence the styles and designs of the
garments?"~ asks Elaine Hammerstein
Prices, as every one will admit, have
been at their zenith during the past
year, and. as every one will also admit,
skirts could not have gone very much
higher without abolshing the skirt alto
gether.
"But prices have taken decided
downward slump. Will this in any way
influence the designers Of the foremost
styles to lengthen the skirts of our wom-
enfolk? Will skirts come down with
the prices? Are we gradually headed
toward the long. hoped skirt of our
grandmothers' and great-grandmothers'
days, when they were never so happy
as when their skirts trailed on the
ground after them?
81 am inclined to believe the incor-
venient, unhealthy garments Of twenty
and thirty years ago have been abol-
ished forever. Our women of today
have been educated to select styles for
comfort and health as well as style and
appearance. Skirts that drag on the
ground are not the best aids to the
abolition Of germs. They are wont to
pick up dust and dirt of every kind, in
this way breeding disease.
1.-The woman of today has been edu-
Gated to guard against sickness and dis
ease. She is well able to guard against
infection. Long skirts will not, I be-
lieve, appeal to the careful woman, but
we have yet to see. All we can do now
is practice watchful waiting and see''

"Milestones."

A masterful photoplay of Arnold

'Milestones," is announced for Moore's

ming today. "Milestones" is one OF
those infrequent plays that mark an
epoch in theatrical achievement. 1t is
now given a wider scope through the
motion picture camera
The charming story is told in three
episodes. showing the characters first
in the year 1860, then in 1885 and
finally, in 1910. thus giving excep-
tional opportunity for period Co.'S
tunes as well as quaint settings. The
aim of the authors is to show the bit
ter opposition of the older generation
to the modern ideas, progress and ro-
nance of the younger generation.
This is done by tracing through the
three periods the fortunes of the
Read and Sibley families All in ALL

Build Up to Tear Down.

FEW who have seen the fine studio
settings used in motion pictures.
especially those who have had the I'M
usual privilege of seeing them in
course of construction at the studios,
appreciate that one of the biggest
tasks is the wrecking Of these same
sets after they have been photo
graphed.
The gentle art of wrecking is al
most as difficult as that of construc
ton. for there is no wastage. Ex-
perienced wreckers salvage every
piece of wood or nail that is not
irretrievably spoiled. Special parts,
such as mantels, window and door
frames, built-in features. and so on,
are saved intact and stored for re-
building and painting in other SETS
To see a massive set go down is a
revelation of skillful workmanship
AT the Lasky studios. in Hollywood,
sets are built in record time. and
wrecked in the same way-yet the
finished set is as complete and practi-
cal as a real house, save for the lack
of a roof and other features which
are unnecessary to the purpose.
Recently William de Mile had q
five-room set constructed in the CAL
iioTHld OF spanish type. Inc set was
complete, the rooms opening one into
another, as in a real home, with ex-
quisite staircases and decorations of
the most pleasing character. Every
one remarked upon it's beauty. and
regretted the necessity of it's being
wrecked. But not long afterward
blank floor remained where this
practical home had been.
Every Paramount picture calls for
fine interiors. and these are built with
the utmost care and every modern
or ultra-modern feature
