Editor, The Washington Times:
IF the metropolitan police de-
partment, with the necessary
aid of Congress, would adopt a
policy Of giving traffic violators
a biff on the jaw instead Of a
slap on the wrist, the so-called
parking problem, which is
monopolizing so much newspaper
space these days, would be solved
in thirty days.
AS you suggest in your very
able editorial of today, under the
caption, "What are We Going to
Do About Parking?" the existing
parking regulations are all suf-'
ficient, If rigidly enforced.
And why can't they be en-
forced? Simply because the pun
ishment meted out to the offender
does not, in the slightest degree,
fit the crime. The gambling in
stinct within us all is too strong
to allow the remote possibility of
being called upon to put a few
dollars collateral stand in our
way IL, by taking the chance,
we may save ourselves the few
blocks walk which a compliance
with the regulations would In
Volve.
Suppose we do get picked up"
once or twice n month. We
feel that the added convenience
to ourselves (the public be damn.
ed) has been worth the invest
ment, so we put up the few dol
lars demanded and bring the old
los
But how would we perform IL
we knew that continued viola
ton of the traffic regulations
would deprive US of the use of
our car for, say, thirty days?
Would we continue to take the
gamblers chance" or would we
respect the law?

The President of the National Com

tor OF the organ OF the Society, the
Mental Hygiene Bulletin, DR.. Frank
wood E. Williams challenges current
statements about the increase in men
tai disease due to alcohol. He says

worse to say that alcohol is an increas

that such statement Gin this instance

reported as 50) should have been made
by prominent director of state hos
pital in this country while addressing
large and influential scientific associa-

would assume that statements made
before it were honest and would &C

Although there has been a gradual
increase in recent years in the num-

there has been a marked decrease III

since the advent OF prohibition 40 per

These statements arc accompanied
by figures gathered from 100 state hos

NINE O'CLOCK CLOSE OF
CUSTOMS LINES ORDERED

In an effort 10 curb smuggling and
check contraband traffic. Mckenzie
Moss Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury. has ordered customs lines
closed at nine o'clock at Tia Juana and
and McXicali ON the southern Cali
fornia border. says a Washington As
sociated Press dispatch of March 4.
Hereafter business can be transacted
across the border only from ZOO a. m.
to 900 p. III. The order is effective
three days after its receipt by the Gus
toms collector at Los Angeles. Mr..
Moss said that representations made to
the customs authorities indicated a
serious condition resulting from the
wide-open operation OF resorts in
Mcxicai and Tia Juana. The order
closing the customs lines at 900 p. m.
on the southern California border is
construed by the Treasury as applied
to all traffic, pedestrian as well as
vehicular.
1t is said lawlessness on the part of
Americans at Mexicali is largely re-
sponsible for the order closing the Dor
der each night. Alcoholism, gambling
and immortality, fostercd principally by
Americans for the benefit of their fell
low countrynen who wish to cast
aside every restraint of deccncy and
order found north of the line, exist to
large degree in violation of Mexi-
can law. 1t is said that the CONNER
cialized vice exists largely through the
patronage of Americans. Mcxicans are
prohibited entrance to many of the
dives.

RIOTS AT HERRIN
Editorial

New trouble in Herrin has been
brought about, is the report, by con-
flict between the vets and the drys in
which the Ku Klux Klan has taken the
side of the drys, and Knights of the
Flaming Circle who have sided with
the vets to the extent that they resent
the assumption by the Klan OF the
self-constituted right to make raids in
the interests of public morality.
The editorial says:
1t is all an evidence of organized in
dignation arousing a counter rage, UNI
til great community feud is in full
blaze. The Khan today often acts
as if it believed the same conditions
Gas those that gave rise to the Vigil
lance Committee of lS9D presented in
superable difficulties in the way OF
rapid justice through ordinary legal
procedure, or at least innumerablc
members OF the Khan have so acted.
In this contemporary outburst OF often
courageous Indignation, there is like
wise high-minded purpose, which
ought to find expression enough in the
awakening OF public opinion and the
stimulation OF the regular enforcement
officers to do their duty. The
American public has been far too fear
full OF antagonizing wrong influences,
far too passive i'll its consideration Of
wrong practices. including especially
violations OF the prohibition laws.
Raids by gangs of private citizens,
however will suppress no evil, but only
inflamc the thought of any community
until retalations and recrimnations
quite obscure the original moral issues.

mcnt, kept active by unrelenting pub
lie opinion. is the only progress that is

IT'S A DRY WAVE THAT'S
REALLY SWEEPING NATION

The Christian Science Monitor de-
clares that instead Of wave of wet
sentiment sweeping the United States
as liquor propagandists would have it,
the nationwide survey which it has
undertaken covering organizations
reaching a total OF l550o000 shows
that here is wave, but that. it is
dry wave. 1t reports the Board of
Temperance, Prohibition and Public
Welfare of the Methodist Episcopal
Church as indicating that the 1000, 600
members of the Methodist Episcopal
denomination are strongly behind the
dry law. The Monitor has also re-
ceived letters from other lay and reli-
gious bodies with total membership
of almost 100000.

is to stiffen the penalty for violation of
the law and to compel respect for the
law by whole-hearted respect for it
on our own part. And concentrate on
the big cities in enforcing prohibition.

BELGIAN SALOON CUT is
NOTED BY MEDICAL MEN

Prohibition is making steady gains
in Belgium, according to a report
quoted by correspondent of the Jour
nal OF the American Medical Associa-
tion. However, that little country is
far from being dry as indicated by the
fact that last year there were $4,000
saloons dispensing Intoxicating drinks,
but as there were 100000 saloons in
operation in 1914 it will be seen there
has been a tremendous slump i'll the
liquor trade of the country.
The closing of so many saloons has
resulted in the number OF patients in
the psychopathic hospitals being re-
duced from 10000 in 1918 to 1880 in
1928. In 1918 the Municipal Shelter
contained 5000 vagabonds, while in
1928 the number was but 1000. The
number of prisoners in the prisons has
dropped from 5000 to about 1000.
