SEEKERS
IN CHICAGO
INCREASE
As Many Seeking Aims Now
As Before Prohibition, Says
United Charities
By A. e. GARVIN,
International News Service.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2l.--Since 1920 ap-
plieations for charity have been in
creasing at the rate of 100 per cent
a year in Chicago, due to the fail.
ufe OF enforcement Of the prohibi.
ton law here. This fact is gathered
from a review OF the records Of the
United Charities of Chicago.
According to figures of the rec
ords, the total has reached that of
pre-VOlstead' days and the organiza-
ton ID facing deficit in the fiscal
years work, which ended Septem-
Der 80.
Family provider asking for char
ity, Immediately following the en-.
actment of the prohibition law, fell
off in numbers. and only sixty-three
cases were submitted to the orgaRi-
zation for attention in 1880, as
against 625 in 1851. Since 1890,
however. the applications for char
ity have been and are increasing
at fhe rate OF 100 per cent a year
until they have assumed the pro-
portions reached in 1856. when
the swinging doors were open and
distilleries flourished.
Home Brew Denounced.
There was no record of the exact
distress suffered by the charity.
seeking families. but officials were
firm in denouncing the ''home-
brew and ''moonshine" which Is
being privately concocted today. say
ing their effects are worse than
those Of the legally manufactured
stuff. -
The intemperance problem, 1t IL
said, has become serious here. and
while strenuous efforts are being
made to stamp out illegal manu-
facture and sale OF liquor, it is be-
ing made doubly hard by lack of
cooperation outside the enforcement
organizations.
Many pesons are making more
money today than they did before
prohibition on account Of the un.
usually high prices commanded,
much as are cigarette bootleggers
In Kansas.
! During the last session OF the
Kansas legislature a move was
started to repeal the anti-cigarette
law in the State, but when the
showdown came it was found there
were two interest working against
the repeal; the anti-cigarette smok-
ers and the tobacco interests.
BOotIegging Profitable.
Tobacco handlers make more
profit from bootlegging cigarettes
than through the legitimate sale.
and they do not like to see their
profits go. when, If they are prose.
cuted for handling cigarettes, the
penalty Is comparatively light. The
same holds true of certain LIQUOR
interests in Chicago: they do not
welcome the passing of enormous
profits from the sale of their prod.
ucts.
Intemperance causes unemploy.

Charities here, when, together with
an unusual amount of unemplov.

SUNNY DAYS IN LONDON
BRING CRIME DECREASE
Specialist in British Capital De-

Nerve Starvation.

From the New York Herald Tribune
The fact that the sun has been max

as the true cause of the decrease in
crime there lately. Since the opening
of the last sessions at the Old Bailey
there have been only twenty-five cases

against more than 100 in the same time
at previous sessions.
A prominent London specialist is con-
vinced that the lack of sunshine has a
marked effect on certain phases of
crime, and that sun-starved persons are
more prone to morbidity than people of
SUMMER cliues- Sun starvation, says
this medical man. produces nerve
starvation and lowers the national
vitality. Suicides increase in certain
months probably because dull, dreary
days produce depression.
1t may be possible, says this spe-
cialist that a combination Of good hous-

He does not, however, pretend to have
any plan for the forcing Of the sun to
shine when 1t won't, and 1t generally
