INEBRIATES OF
PRESENT Time
ARE Older men
Head of Institution for Drink Ad-
diets Says Younger Generation
Eschews. Flowing Bowl

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Today's inc
briates are mostly men OF older
years, the percentage of young men
falling sharply from what it used
to be, according to Judge ]. Kent
Greene, president of the Washing
tonian Home association, the Oldest
operating institution in the United
States for the reclamation OF drink
addicts.
Founded in 1863, the association
for many years was run as a semi
municipal institution, receiving city
payments which in 1883 were linn
tied to $50, 900 a year by legislative
enactment Two years ago it sold
the building it maintained for men
for $135,0O0 and concentrated its
greatly reduced activities in its
women's home.
"In 1921 five men under 80 years
of age were admitted to the home,
Judge Greene, who is manager OF
the commerce court OF the Chicago
Association of Commerce, said in
his annual report Between the
ages of 30 and 40, Sc were admitted,
between 40 and so years IS, between
so and so years 55, between 60 and
20 years nine, and one over ~.
"All available evidence is that
most of our dealings hereafter will
be with patients of older years. We
may wait until those of the older
living generation have passed away
before a very marked effect on the
habits of the people as to temper
ance is noticed, but the opinions of
the younger generation will be en-
forced more strongly every year.
''As the deadly effects of moon
shine intoxicants are becoming
more and more appreciated, and ii
there is a more rigid enforcement of
the law, we can shortly count on a
rapid decline in our present patron
age, and our beloved institution will
be obliged very shortly to look to
other fields Of work"

Questions-Anstcers

q. Please tell me who first made maple
sugar and when? +. X. S.
A The earliest record Of the production
OF maple sugar was at the time of the
Napoleonic vars when this sugar was pro-
duced In Bohemia. and the Industry re-
eeiyed substantial means of encouragement
from the government OF that country. The
industry soon died out there, however, and
about that time the sugar beet came into
prominence. The earliest explorers in this
country found the Indians making sura r
from sap OF the maple tree.
q Would it be possible to build n
bridge across the Mississippi near New Or
leans? A I. L.
A. The Chief OF Engineers saws that if
would be possible to build a bridge put
that the plan is not feasible In the case
or the new bridge across the Delaware the
tremendous expense is justified by the fact
that the bridge will connect the city of
Camden with Philadelphia.
- how much maple sugar was produced
A Maple sugar production in 1920 in
the United states was estimated to be III =
Sa5tuc0 pounds. 1t was necessary to tan
190S1,3 25 trees TO obtain this amount

Er,sporid Women
Would StdrUe on
90 Gents a Day

Emporia, Kan, March 4.-When the
Kansas court of industrial relations re-
sumes its minimum wake hearing IN
Emporia next week it will receive the
working women's answer to a state
,ment at the last hearing that a woman
can live on go cents day and dress
neatly and comfortably on $93 year.
Women who made a weeks hunger
test will tstify that 60 cents a day
is not sufficient for meals, and women
will endeavor to prove to the court
that $93 a year is too little for cloth
ing allowance.
when Henry Nickel. proprietor of
an Emporia cafe, testified that wo-
man could live on 60 cents a day he
started a controversy. Miss Sadie Sol
lars, Miss Charlotte Lewis and Miss
Nell Baird, members of the Business
Women's club, decided to test Mr..
Nickefs figures. They lived a week
on $4.20, eating part of the time at
Mr.. Nickers cafe and part of the time
at the Kansas State Normal cafeteria.

acre of gyain and providing that
where borrowers whose crop yield
was less than five bushels per acre
be given an extension of time for re-
payment of loans made to them last
year for the purpose of buying seed.
The situation calls to mind the story
of a negro tenant farmer in the south
who rented a tract of land. agreeing
to pay the owner half the crop. When
the landlord called for his rent he
was told by his tenant that only a
third of a crop had been produced,
so there was nothing doing.
