Prohibition is Working

Judge j. Kent Greece, president of
the Washington Home Association of
Chicago, the oldest operating institu-
tion in the United States for the re-
clamation of drink addicts, says that
the inebriates received there these
days are chiefly older men. The num-
Der Of young men received has fallen
of sharply since prohibition came.
This result was to have been ex-
pected. Prohibition will not reclaim
drink addicts, but it Will take away
from young men the constant tempta-
tion of the open saloon. 1t will save
coming generations. The tanks who
were here when prohibition came
finally will die out. In the meantime
we are rearing children, many of
whom will grow to manhood and wo-
manhood without having seen a
drunken person. BY the time the last
of the last crop of tanks has died off
we shall have in this country millions
Of young men who never saw an open
saloon and who will look upon a
drunkard much as the average man
today looks upon drug addict.
Prohibition finally will prohibit en-
tirely. With 25 years of absolute pro-
bibition in America and with Europe,
particularly Great Britain, continuing
during that time to, drink hard liquor,
this country will be SO far ahead of
Europe financially, morally, physical
ly and industrially, that Europe will
never catch up.-Editorial, Arkansas

Newfangled Things Have
No Place in Newfoundland

st. Johns July 5.-Newfangled
contraptions find little favor in the
eyes of the Newfoundland sealer, and
So plan introduced this season to
use airplanes.:for locatingasthe seal
herds iAfailed 'ofe acceptance by the
seasoned 'sealineis iskippers. The eyes
of. an airman caRnot 1beat'the skill of
as'seafaring0man wise in wind and
weather, saidISthe skeptics.
Aviators flew over the vast ice
fields from Labrador south Ito the
Grand Banks during the, sealing sea-
son and claimed to have found the
main seal herd 200 miles from the
region where the sealing fleet was
operating. Nonsense" said the
sealhunters, and went on about their
business. The airmen offeerd to
sell their information to the New
foundland government for $4,000
and they offered it to the owners of
the sealing fleet for the same figure.
The season waned, and neither gov
ernment nor ship owners would deal.
Finally, when the sealing was over
and the fleet had dispersed, the avi-
ators agreed to accept ten cents a
seal for their information. 1t was
too late and SO the "seals-from-the-
air" theory has never been tested.
Hunters claim that the main body
of seals was were they killed their
catch, and in proof point to the harv-
est of 100000 carcasses, 20 percent
more than that of 1921. The old
hand at the hunting studies wind and
weather for weeks before the season
opens, and then follows his experience
and instinct. AS for spotting seals
from the air, he says, no green man
is to be trusted with that job. Even
experienced sealers admit that moth
ing is easier than to exaggerate the
number of seals Visible from the
crows nest of ship, let alone an
airplane.
There are other issues in the argu-
ment, too. Many hunters believe the
seal herds have been depleted, and
that heavier catches than that of this
year would soon wipe them out. For
the 80 years from 1870 to 1900 the
average catch was 100000. In 1900
the fleet attained the record-317,-
900. Two years later there was an
other big catch, and since that time
the seal harvest has been dwindling.
Then there IS the market to con-
slider, say the hunters. In 1902 seals
were so plentiful that prices dropped
below paying figure and it was only
during the war when seal oil brought
high prices for the manufacture of
glycerine that the business again be-
came profitable. Even the reduced
catches of late years have been suf-
ficient for the market. it is claimed.
The aviator-sealer thus has many
obstacles to overcome before he can
obtain a hearing, but he still has
friends in the fleet. These have pro-
posed that the airmen be used next
season on the 10 cents a seal basis
and it is believed that this course
will be adopted.
The Newfoundland seal is hunted
almost entirely for it's skin, which is
make into leather, and for it's fat,
which is converted into oil and used
for many industries.

he said. "Such development may be
encouraged first, by establishing

libraries. For large cities it means
units small enough to bring books and
trained service closer to the people
than they now are. 80
"A second means of encouraging H.

of the responsibility of the federal

development Of adequate policies OF
