Dangers of
Prohibition
Bathers on Boston Beaches
Often Need First Aid

Boston. Oct. 12.-Cuts sustained
10y bathers are the latest woes to
be blamed on prohibition. In an
official Statement by the city park
commission upon the work Of it's
lifesavers at Boston beaches this
season is this paragraph:
Ever since prohibition came in
the most frequent calls for first
aid assistance have come from the
numerous bathers who are cut by
broken bottles. Alcoholic addicts
are prone to go to the shore for
clandestine indulgence. They hurl
their empty bottles on the beach
and seem to take delight in smash
ing them.
The beneficial milk bottle is a
lesser but still serious source Of
trouble. Many women who picnic
along the shore are apt to abandon
their empties With such vehemence
as to leave them shattered.
The statement adds that not
life has been lost this season at any
of the beaches in charge Of the
park department.
