A ballot is provided on which

If there are more drys than

among the Outlook readers, and
the drys let the vets out-vote

SOME FAMOUS BEER VERBOTEN
Bavarian Book Is OFF Cards This
Spring; Government Stops It to
Prevent Uprising

A Munich dispatch of recent date is to
the effect that the Bavaran government
has prohibited the sale of book beer this
spring. This order was deemed necessary
as means of preventing putsch "a
revolution). Bavaria accordingly, fa-
nous the world over for its beers, Low
enbrau, Spatenbrau, HoTbrau and 9TH
ers, is sad.
1t is said however that the Rathskel-
lars are offering special beers, which in
reality are not special at all, to take the
place of the prohibited book beer This
special beer is called Spring beer, but it
hasn't the punch of the old book
1t is interesting to read the following
account of the situation in the Chicago
Tribune of April 81 The Tribune is a
most ardent advocate of the proposition
to reopen the breweres in the United
States as means of promoting law and
order.
This attitude of the Tribune hardly
squares with the following account of the
conditions III Bavaria.
Beer, and especially book, has
played an important political role in
Bavaria in the last five years. In
1920 when, owing 10 desperate food
conditions, the government forbade
the sale of full-power beer, and moth
ing but thin, watery beverage could
be obtained, there was revolution.
And real one. Communists con-
trolled the city for ten days and had
wild time. They took over the
royal palace, dined and wined, looted
the banks and had to be driven out
in regular battle.
The next year the government per-
mitted full strength beer, police Off
Gals maintaining that unless such
beverage was allowed there would
certainly be another putsch.
Hitler's Beer Putsch
Last November, after full
strength beer evening, Adolph Hitler
staged putsch. He announced the
government as a subject in the past
tense and declared himself Germany's
new ruler. The fact that he was at
one end of the country and the lands
capital was at the ether, that he had
neither army nor many arms, did not
seem to disturb him or the 600 en-
thusiasts in the beer cellar, who had
been partaking for an hour or SO be-
fore he arrived with his proposition.
And so with spring here again and
mems thoughts in this land again
turning to putsches, the government
permitting beer, will not, however,
allow heady book beer. A couple of
books, and any German is ready for
trouble, so it is figured that no book
will mean no putsch, or at least only
mild ones.

PROHIBITION AND ALCOHOLIC
MENTAL DISEASE
By Horatio M. Pollock and Edith M.
Furbush

Furbush
The introduction to the article is a
protest against cxaggeration, or the ma
nipulation of figure to make out a case.
A description of the five we'll known
types of mental arrangement caused by
alcohol follows and then the statistics on
alcoholic insanity before and since pro-
hibition.
The first table shows that although
the annual number of all new cases of
mental disease admitted to the New
York state hospitals has gradually but
irregularly increased since 1909, the
number of alcoholic cases has markedly
declined. The year 1917 interrupted the
downward trend, due, it is supposed to
influences connected with the war. The
next year showed the decline continuing,
which it did until 1920, when the lowest
point in the table was reached. That
year the percentage of all new cases of
insanity due to alcohol was 1.9 per cent.
In 1o0o-1o12 it was more than 10 per
cent. For the three years since 1920 the
percentage of alcohol cases has been 2.8,
80 and 40 per cent increasing, but still
below any pre-prohibition year. The
figure for 1923 was the same as for the
half prohibition year 1919, i. e., 40.
The decline in the percentage of in
temperate users of alcohol among all new
admissions to the hospitals corresponds
closely with the decline of new cases of
IL eli
be noted, controverts the current asser-
ton that there is more drinking since
prohibition than before.
The relative rate of decline of alcoholic
mental disease among females since 1909
has been greater than among males. at
seems probable that the bootlegger's
trade reaches comparatively few wo-
men," say these authors.
The low rate reached in rural dis
tricts gives ground for hope that alco-
holic mental disease there will ultimately
disappear. There are now several rural
counties in New York state in which no
cases of alcoholic insanity has appeared
during the past three years.
The rate of alcoholic insanity in 1922
was lowest among native whites of ma
tive parentage, and highest among for
eign born, the latter being nearly five
times that of the former. The nation
alities having the highest rate of alco-
holic insanity per 100000 of the same
nativity in the U. S. census are:
Lithuania, ALPS; Czccho-Slovalia,
1869; Ireland, 1475; Norway, 1898;
Scotland, 1862. The percentage for all
other nativites is less than 10.
One table represents the data received
from 1o states showing the percentage of
all new cases of insanity due to alcohol
in the 90 hospitals heard from. The states
having the lowest rates were:
Colorado and Vermont, o. per cent;
Louisiana, 08; Georgia and South Car
DINA, 90.
The states having the highest percent
age rates we're: Rhode Island, 80;
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, 60;
Illinois, So; Wyoming, 81; Connecticut,
4.8; New Jersey, Al.
