Chicago, Nov. 29-Virgil G. Hin
shaw, chairman of the prohibition
party, called today for vigilance COM
mittees to "arise all over the country
to cooperate with the enforcement
officials" Mr.. EIinshaw sounded this
note in opening g. national prohibition
conference and meeting of the prohi-
bition national committee.
"We fare a new opportunity, an
opportunity to enforce the law that
now exists the prohibition chairman
told the conference. "This is our job.
"If we cannot get the administra-
tion now in powel. to lead the way we
shall have to elect one that will.
"One of the disappointing things
about our president is that he has
made no public appeal to the nation
to uphold the 18th amendment, and
he appointed secretary of treasury
conspicuously known as pro-booze.
However, the American people
must take things intoN their own
hands"
Mr.. Hinshaw, who has just returned
from Europe. added that its nations
were being flooded with pro-liquor
propaganda from America. Brewers
and distillers abroad are fighting by
use of the press as though on their
last legs,i he said.

menu consisted of fruit cocktail, tur-
key and dressing, creamed potatoes,
celery hearts, LETTUCE salad, bread,
butter, angel food cake and ice tea
followed by coffee. The banquet was
served at six tables, with ten at each
table. A color scheme of pink was
carried out with pink roses and pink
love vine. Each table had bud vase
of roses entwined with love vine.
President Harry Borland of the
Rotary Club let not moment pass
during the banquet that was not filled
with some entertainment, foolish or
otherwise. Mr.. Lester Lucas, Mrs.
H. NJ Hampton ard Mrs. Philip G..
Murphy sang songs during the eve
ming. The famous Gerig brothers

Mr.. Rose, Mr.. A. E. Gerig and Mike
Knight. Miss Virginia Hall, one of
| the visitors, claimed a particular an
tipathy to speaking in public and it
seemed that Mr.. Berland picked on
her. especially. The news leaked out
that she is called "Pat" by her friends
because she crates as well as Patrick
Henry ever did when in his prime.
"Grandfather" Ben Rheinauer, SO
called because one of the visiting
scouts said he looked like his grand
father, was called on for talk on
his trip to indianapolis, but he begged
off because he was afraid that the
visitors from that place might expose
any error he made.
Each of the visitors was called on
for talk and each expressed herself
as having good time in 0cala and
!! wishing for more time to enjoy her
hospitality.
After singing Rotary songs and
erding up with grand march and
general hand shaking reception, the
crowd dispersed. leaving the visitors
with few hours time to rest before
taking the midnight train for Jack

ARMORED CAR FOR
A TAMPA BANK

Tampa, Nov. 28.-People of Tampa
will shortly have to accustom them
selves to the Sight of an armored car
proceeding sedately through the city
streets.
This car, which is being built here
for the Citizens-American Bank and
Trust Company, will be used for
transporting payroll money from the
bank to the several large cigar fac
toriesNwhich are customers of the in
stitution. A crew of three men will
ma nthe truck-two of them on the
inside of the steel shell, the third in
the drivers seat. There will be five
''portholes" in the armor, all of them
closing from the inside of the car.
One will be at the front, two at each
side. The guards will be armed with
sawed-off shotguns and pistols.
While there has been but one at
tempted holdup of payroll messen-
ger in this city, and that unsuccess-
full. attempts in other cities have been
frequent and the bank decided an
armored car would at least be good
advertisement for it, and decidedly a
damper on the enthusiasm of bandits.
Some of the factories here have pay
rolls of more than $4,000 a week.

DRUG HABIT CASES
TREBLE SINCE 1918
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-Cases of
drug addiction handled by the depart
ment of public welfare have trebled
since 1918, according to figures made
public today by Commissioner Bird S.
Coler. The total for 1918 was 116;
for 1919, 339; and for 1920. 493. In
the first six months of 1921, 377 were
treated. These figures, it was pointed
out, represent but small percentage
Of the number of addicts treated in
the city.
Mr.. Coler did not endorse claims
that have been made that prohibition
has driven confirmed alcoholics to
the drug habit, saying such claims
were questionable. His report showed
there had been little decrease in the
number of alcoholics treated by city
hospitals since prohibition became eff
fective. The total in 1918 was Las.
In 1920 the total was 1924. The
number for the first six months Of
1921 was 567.
