SAYS PROHIBITION HELPS.
director Elliott Says the Beneficial Ef-
fects Are Quite Apparent.

The material effect OF prohibition
in Wilmington. according to Robert
y. Elliott. director Of prohibition for
Delaware, can be realized only by
true figures. The total number of ar
rests since the 'Iauguration Of the
Eighteenth Amendment in 1917, when
.2.71s were registered by the police
for drunkenness. has dwindled down to
49S for the present year, the report of
Director Elicit shows.
However. an increase OF 203 arrests
for the same offense is noted over
that Of last year. This increase Di-
rector Elliott attributes TO the large
number Of unemployed who either find
time to make their owp "hOotch" or
drink what they can get to drown
their sorrow.'
The following is the report sub
mitted from the Office OF Director FL
lott. in the United States Engineers

Irving Warner, chairman of the
Labor Commission of Delaware, when
spoken to today regarding the work OF
women employees in the Y NJ. c. A.
made the following statement:
The office OF the Labor commission
received an anonymous telephone re-
port regarding the work of women in
the y. NJ. c. a. II is the practice OF
this office to follow up ali reports
Since the question of jurisdiction was
Involved. inquiry was made of the
attorney generals office. The opinion
as published in the newspapers, stated
that the Y. NJ. c. a. could not be con-
strued as coming within the Woman's
Hour Law.
Investigation has revealed however.
that the y. NJ. c. A. is well within the
law in its employment of women. II is
TO be regretted. therefore. that the

Election by inference against this
worthy institution that was entirely
