DRY LAW DECREASES POVERTY

Wendell F. Johnson, of the Social Ser
vice Federation of Toledo, Ohio, reports
less poverty among Toledo families due
to drinking Intoxicating liquor since pro-
hibition went into effect, as proved by
fewer appeals for financial assistance in
cases arising from drunkenness.
Of the $50 families who applied to the
Federation during wet 1918 for aid, the
records show that in So of them inten-
perance was mentioned as an important
factor in the families difficulties. In "a
of these SO cases, Mr.. Johnson discov-
cred it had caused the father to made
quately support ais family and in 10
cases it resulted in desertion, while in 9
cases it had caused Imprisonment of the
wage-earner, thereby making his family
dependent; in three cases it was the inn
mediate cause of the separation of the
parents and in two cases insanity re-
suited
However, during dry 1923, Mr.. John
son found only IS families in which
drunkenness was problem. This, how
ever, did not include the cases in which
there had been an arrest or imprisonment
of a member of the family for violation
of the prohibition law. Had such FAM
lilies been included it would have in
creased the number of families in which
alcohol was a problem to a total of 20,
as against So in 1918.
Mr.. Johnson concludes that the per
cent of new cases in which alcohol was
problem was in dry 1923 only per cent
as compared with 10 per cent in wet 1913.

CHICAGO POLICE FORCE ADEQUATE
Chief of Police Denies He Requests
Increase in Force; Mayor Also
Says 1000 Sufficient

Any sort of improbable tale concerning
prohibition that gets started in the United
States or abroad is snapped up readily by
the friends of the liquor traffic and put
out as gospel fact. Recently the state.
ment has been put forth that Chicago
wants 10000 more policemen to enforce
the prohibition law. AS matter of fact,
there is no such request on the part of the
Mayor or Superintendent of Police Col
Inns.
In letter to O. c. Christgau, editor of
the Illinois American Issue, Mr.. Collins
says:
In answer to your inquiry of April
10, please be advised that | have not
asked for ten thousand more police
men to enforce the prohibition law
nor for ten more policemen for that
purpose.
If this law is not being enforced as
thoroughly as it should be, it is not
on account of lack of effort on the !,
part of the members of the Chicago
Police Department. A police officers 4
power is the power OF arrest only.
Recently Mayor Dever, in public adj
Dress said, with 1000 police under my
command, it is foolish to say that l can
not enforce the law"

GENERAL CONFERENCE PETITIONS CONGRESS
Methodist Making Body Congress
Urging No Modification of Vosead
Bodies Take Similar

? A petition to Congress to permit no
modification of the prohibition amend
ment was approved by the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at the session of May l. The pc
tition was in the form of resolution and
included a request to the Board of Bish
ops to carry the petition to the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate and ask for
hearing in Congress. The resolution
reads in part:
This conference urges Congress
not to permit any change in the con-
tent of liquor as prescribed in the
amendment believing that any such
change would render more difficult
the enforcement of the law. The
Methodist Episcopal Church expects
all its members both i'll and out of
Congress to do their full duty.

Continued from Page y

Yale, has told the student body that liq-
uor cannot be brought into any university
building, and that whatever the student
thinks regarding use of liquor, the rule
will hold.
College Executives Are Dry
Mary T. Woolley, president of Mt
Holyoke; Walter Dill Scott president of
Northwestern; Ernest D. Burton, presi-
dent of the University of Chicago; Viii
liam Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana

chancellor of Syracuse; Frank L. Nc
Vey, president of the University of Ken
lucky; Walter G. Clppinger, president of
Otterbein, and Charles F. Thwing, presi-
dent of Western Reserve, are among the
educators who have made strong state
ments in favor of prohibition and its en-
forcement.
These all agree that prohibition is
sound, that it has come to stay and that it
must be obeyed. In many instances they
assert that there is little drinking among
students, and they recite the benefits of
prohibition. DIR. Thwing, a native of
Maine, declares:
at required more than a generation for
the Maine law to come to a pretty fair
enforcement. But the benefit of that law
to the state of Maine was of remarkable
value A similar value will belong to the
whole country after a generation. But we
must wait for the generation"
"The success of the amendment in
America makes it practically certain that
our example will be followed by the other
nations of the world" says Walter Dill
Scott
But the executives are not the only col
1ege folks who favor prohibition enforce
ment. Action taken by student-governing
bodies, without faculty coercion, in many
universities, places the students under in
hibition regarding the use of liquor. In
some cases, as for instance, in Brigham
Young University at Provo, Utah, the
students voted practically unanimously in
favor of the Eighteenth Amendment, and

A sample of student opinion on the
prohibition question is afforded by the
record of the vote taken at Mt. Holyoke,
recently In that vote SO per cent were
dry, per cent for wines and beers and
5 per cent wholly wet. There were 765
votes cast. Of these 500 were wholly
dry, s. for wine and beer and Al wholly
wet.
In Kalamazoo College there were $50
votes cast in the student referendum. Of
these there were 263 for strict enforce
ment, "a for wine and beer, and only
three for repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
At Houghton College the students
voted unanimously against the return of
wine and beer. At Central Theological
Seminary there was a solid vote to keep
up the battle against lawlessness until all
bootlegging is stopped.
Fraternities in a number of schools are
enlisted to help the faculty and student
governments in stamping out all use of
liquor by students and in enforcing the
law.
A remarkable referendum was that in
Indiana Central College, where 238
students voted eyes" on the question,
"Are you in favor of the Eighteenth
Amendment as it now stands?" Only 9
voted "No." The ballot was a secret one.

ON TRAIL OF RUM RUNNERS
Enforcement Department Concen
centrating Fight on Smugglers;
Double Force of Agents.

Treasury officials took further steps last
week in developing the program to curb
rum running. Conferences between all
units of the treasury engaged in prohibi-
ton enforcement brought about a closer
cooperation between the prohibition
forces under Commissioner HAYNES. the
coast guard and the customs service, and
provided for central control" of coast
guard work in its efforts to stop the
landing of contraband on American
soil
Commander Harry G.. Hamlet, a long
time coast guard officer, was selected to
maintain the general headquarters of the
coast guards dry navy in Philadelphia.
He will direct the operations OF the entire
dry forces in thwarting the rum runners
along the Atlantic seaboard.
simultaneously the three arms of the
enforcement service reached an agreement
on jurisdiction under which the coast
guard hereafter will seek TO protect all
coast lines on deep water and the prohibi-
ton and customs agents will be respons-
ible for smuggling through small water
ways and on land.
The arrangement is expected to result
In material tightening of the lines, and
when the coast guard has obtained the full
quota planned under the recently enacted
appropriation of $l4000,00o, treasury Off
Gals believe much will have been accom-
plshed toward better enforcement.
Contracts have already been let by the
treasury for reconditioning the new
speed boats for use by the coast guard
In its pursuit of rum runners.
Five of the boats will be constructed
In Detroit for use on the Great Lakes and
FIVE in Jacksonville, Fla, for service
among the bays and inlets of that section.
They will cost approximately $4,000 each.
1t is further announced that the coast
guard engineers expect soon to call for
bids for the construction of fifty craft to
add to the dry fleet.
When all the new boats are in service
and fully manned, the coast guard will
have a personnel virtually double its
present strength.

aboutsher. Now he viewed them
with the tolerance Of his mellow
age and licked Davids hand This
scene gave Chfclxie a. shock Of
Joy. And It didn't matter that 1t
was repeated almost every night,
nor that David swept off his hat
in the same gallant way and put
the little fellow down to kiss her.
{ He was happy-nor had the
greatness Of his work been hurt
because she was his wife; nor the
peace Of his home stained.
There was no longer space In
her heart for bitterness, nor. need
in her mind Of fear. Her days
were rich. with much serving. One
afternoon JaniIla told her that Tia
Moore had gone to New York,
taken Barry DUNES child with
her and left him here alone. They
had only the one-a delicate boy
Of eight. The father wanted him.
.JaIlina said he was wild about the
youngster,. but the. talk was that
they had separated; that she
rushed away quietly, stealing
their. son for herself: that she
had not even told. him and now
she meant to fight for the lad:
keep him entirely. Chickie thought
it a cold, shabby thing to do--a
pitiful and warping elimination.
She was sorry for himdeeply.
Janina said: 1.-THE placid lump
Of selfishness. may be loose,
but thank heaven I'm not vicious
like some of the imnorally good"
The years scarcely touched ia
nina and they didn't dull the
rapier tongue. The nearest she
ever came to admitting that in
keeping her freedom she had lost
her soul was one day when
Chichie took her to VISIT the
house Of many children. There
was a little black-haired fellow
with rich, dark eyes and very red
lips who won her favor. She got
down on the floor and played with
him. When she was leaving she
said: eat the age of forty, and
that, sweet satan, IL but four
years hence. I'm coming out to
get one of your foundlings-save
me a black-eyed little villiant like
this"

could forget the dark and bitter
soil that nurtured Them. She
thought Of her son. her teasing,
brown haired little Jonathan az
her first born and David as the
only love she had known.
She said to herself once: SIT
was he always that loved" She
meant by this that 1t was the
beauty, the faith and the glory
she asked Of life and through him
attained. She had always wanted
this. Once II failed ilSrnow 1t
endured. And this was the living
reality: the other q shadow that
is lost.
In the beginning; she was afraid.
II David came homo tired or not
in mood to talk, she watched
him with a pang Of terror. Had
something happened to make him
sad? Then he would look mp from
his book and tell OF some gossip
he'd heard; or give her papers to
read. She would see that she had
not even been. in his thoughts; he
was not one to harbor hurts or
look for them, She grew ashamed
Of her sensltiveness; saw It for
what 1t was--a morbid self affec-
ton Other things In lie, to love
besides ones precious self! Other
interests!
And in, the beginning, too, she
prayed the little children would
all be sons like David and like
the old fellow standing behind her
chair to look down with such awe
at the pretty angel in her lap.
But when the girl came she for
got 1t was another son she asked.
Yet she took the girl more Sc
riously. Hard business this, to be
a woman these tumultuous days.
This dainty one must not grow
strong through being weak She
would not have its spirit thrive
in sorrow. +
Chiekie looked back on her own
life and on her own mother. How
secret she had kept her thoughts.
How little Of them Jennie, living
in har days Of lavender and a kiss
once a year under the mistletoe,
ever guessed. How little she had
ever dreamed Of wild songs hum.
ming in Chickie's heart.
But she would know this, gold.
en- morsel's dreams. She. would
DO like Martha Blake and live In
days that are;s not in those that
were. She would give this CIR.
a hundred interests and a great
deal, but most Of all a sturdy
sense of her own value.
She tried to find some rule
that would guarantee a life Of
untroubled beauty. While the
poor" little thing was but two or
three months old she became
greatly agitated about 1t and con.
fronted David every night with
her theories.
He laughed at her. "I'll tell
you, lady Wen put lump of
sugar in her pocket. That'n make
her sweet. You want a rule to
escape the wear and tear Of lie?
The only solution for life is meet
ing 1t. My dear, darling girl,
we'll do as Adam and Eve have
done for centuries-lie awake
many a night and tear out hair
and hope that the road We set
her on is the right road. That's
the best we can do. Stand by
