AMERICA IS
TWICE As DRY
GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN THE
OBSERVANCE OF PROHIBI-
TION LAW.

Washington, ID. c.. June 14-One
year of the Haynes brand of prohi-
bition has made the country just
twice as dry as 1t was last June. Con-
victions have more than doubled,
Withdrawals of liquor from bonded
warehouses have been reduced by
millions of gallons and fraudulent
operations of the whisky ring effect
lively checked.
This was revealed Sunday in a sum
mary prepared by Commissioner r.
A. Haynes covering the first year of
his administration. 1t was sent to
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Blair as an official report.
Withdrawals of whisky from June.
1921. to April, 1922, were 2,627,333
gallons as compared with 9,696,122
gallons for the same period the year
before. Commercial alcohol used was
only 16,491,303 gallons under Mr..
Haynes administration, compared
with 24,S56,3SS the year before.
In addition to this the expenses
materially cartailed. saving of
$156.900 was effected in the wages
of warehouse agents and $20S,S32 in
rents and storage charges for con-
fiscated liquor. Taxes were assessed
in violation of internal revenue laws
to the extent of s17,102,234.
Reorganization of the activities
has resulted in handling the work
much more economically. efficiently
and expeditiously than ever before, f"
said Mr.. Haynes.
Notable improvement has ben eff
fected in the permit situatio and ev-
cry effort made to reduce the num-
ber of counterfeit and forged with
drawals. permits and physicians pre-
scription blanks. New forms have
ben printed from the engraved plates
and machine similar to check
writer is used to fill in the amount.
This makes it almost impossible to
forge one of thes documents.
During the next few months we
hope to be able to concentrate the
2s,000,000 gallons OF whisky in 304
bonded warehouses into a few select
ed warehouses where it will be posi-
BILE to greatly reduce the force of
guards and at the same time afford
better protection against robberies
and conspiracies by that which has
been removed"

position according to motion picture

greater harmony in all branches of
the business.
Theater owners sought to obtain
reductions in film rentals, saying
that they have felt the general busi-

between producers and exhibitors,
and the beginning of Hays campaign

chief business of the day.

 wept as she told her story. With her daughter Idn, 23 years old, she is charged with the theft of clothing valued at $150 from Market street department store.
 T had no money to buy clothes my daughter wanted" she said. Ida got the craze to be a lapper, and to get her the necessary clothing we de- cided to steal.
 T was afraid she would adopt a worse method of getting her finery. so intent was she upon being able to dress as we'll as other girls in the neighborhood.
 "We went to the department store and I stood watch while she took the things she wanted"
 Mrs Mesime, who is a motherly looking woman, 47 years old. came to Philadelphia with her daughter a year ago from Allentown.
 When the mother and daughter were caught by store detectives {, a search of their home revealed dresses, waists, silk hose, expensive lingerie and umbrellas that had been taken from various shops.
 You don't mean to say that you, a mother, went to store with your daughter, knowing she was going to steal articles of clothing?" Judge Stern exclaimed.
 "Yes," the woman admitted, as her head dropped. T had no money with which to buy Ida the clothes she de- manded and I knew of no other way of getting them"
 Judge Stern held the case in apey- ance for a few days pending investi- gation.

BETTER AMERICANS,
 AIM OF EDUCATORS
Secretary Weeks Speaks at Wash.
 instpn Gathering

Washington, Nov. l6.-Men inter
 ested in the welfare of young Ameri-
 ca gathered from all parts of the
 United States, met today under call of Secretary Weeks to discuss the fundamental question of national strength involved in the mental, moral and physical fitness of the American people. Practically every college, school or association that has to do with education or with physical well being was represented.
 In his address of welcome Secre- tary Weeks said:
 National hesath Is SO Fundamental that it can be taken as a fairly good index of the virility of a nation. His tory is almost one continuing example of nations that rose to their gront- ness when physically fit and crumpled when they became physically unfit. Most of those tendencies and evils in our national life which we are now protesting against could be lifted If we looked more to the bodies of the people. In fact our experience with the draft clearly indicated that most of the defects could easily be correct ed by physical training and instruc- tion. |
 Sound physical training beginning with the grammar schools and con- tinuing throughout the universities would have a marked effect for the better of the next generation and the future of our nation.
 We are deeply interested in an- other vital factor in national strength the attitude of the citizen toward -he nation. In crisis nothing sur passes the self forgetful devotion to country by our citizenship, but in times of peace disturbing facts clear y indicate that, lacking crisis the average citizen is not keenly inter ested in the national welfare.
 Strikes which involve the discom- fort and almost the lives of our peo- pie similar to the one at Harrin which should be an impossibility in a ,ivilized nation; numerous organized groups in our body polite striving for class or sectional advantages; absurd political ideas many striking at the
 cry foundation of our form of gov- ernment embraced by supposedly in-
 elligent people, are signs of an un- healthy condition in our citizenship. improvement of the physical health of our people will assist in remedying this condition"

MAKING
 GAINS IN MEXICO

 Opposing Communism

Mexico City, Nov. 16.-(By the As sociated Press)--Indications point tt the spread of the "fascisti" movement from Jalapa to Mexico City and al the other important centers through out the republic in the near future The organization which is modelled after the Italian society of the sanSa name Is designed to stamp out com munism.
 Advices from Jalapa say the fascisti there have merely formed tentative organization but that within few days they will start an active cam paign against the radical elements not only in that city but in the entire state of Vera Cruz which is recognized as a communicate stronghold.
 Badges bearing the federal three color Of green, red and white are already available to members of the organization who are reported 10 be increasing In numbers daily.
 The Excelsior says:
 "The Jalapa movement Is to be sec onded in Mexico City and other cities by those sane clements who do not consider that the doctrine of exter- imitation which has converted Russia into a country of blood and misery can save the laboring class of Mexi- CO.,"
 The only official expression was made by Gilberto Valenzuela, under secretary of the department of in- terior and acting head of that depart ment during the illness of Secretary Gales.
