HINTS FOR
VACATION
One Place Where You
Can ALWAYS Get Cool

No heat! no dust! There's an air
of romance at the beach,
That's why the beaches grow ever
more popular with vacationists and
week-enders. After trying motoring,
mountain golf resorts and long trips
north, most folks find that the safest
bet, after all, is the nearest seaside
city, with good beaches and good
hotel.
Jacksonville is gay today. The his
toric old city is drawing more and
more visitors every summer. The
Aragon Hotel, right in the center of
things, with its cool, spacious YER
anda, is a delightful headquarters
from which to visit the sights of the
town or the perfect beaches near
by.
Motoring, boating, golfing, fish
ing, bathing, or sight-seeing-a diff
ferent program every day, if you
wish-and for evening pleasures
the theatres, dancing, or the cafes
It's a combination hard to beat
no matter how far you might travel
quickly reached and, by comparison
very inexpensive.

THURsDAY AFTERNOON AUGUST 6. IQ25
Constitutional COVention Is
Proposed By Senator Carlisle

ATLANTA, Aug 6.-All former
Governors of Georgia who are liv-
ing, as well as present and former
justices of the Supreme Court Of
Georgia, would be made ex-officio
members of the constitutional con-
vention proposed by Senator Ira B.
Carlisle, z, in a bill he is preparing
for introduction.
Seantor Carlisle although he has
been working on the matter for
two weeks, has not yet rounded it
into shape for introduction. He
points out that innumerable details
have come up since he conceived
the idea. For instance, the bill must
carry an appropriation for the ex-
penses of the convention, hence
the bill must originate in the House.
Another is that the constitution
provides that the delegates must be
chosen with respect to population.
His first idea was to draw the bill
so the present members of the as
sembly should constitute the conven-
ton, but objections from various
quarters make this inadvisable.
Hence, plan must be devised to
apportion delegates to the various
senatorial districts of the state.
Several representatives have Of
fered to introduce the measure in
the House, and Senator Carlisle says
that he will avail himself of one of
the offers, probably all of them, al
lowing all interested to sign the
bill.
The proposal has been widely in
dorsed by lawyers and jurists all
over Georgia, headed by Chief
Justice Richard B. Russell, of the
Supreme Court. 1t is expected that
the proposal to include ex-govern-
ors and supreme court justices will

ILLINOIS DRY BILL DEFEATED
Commissioner Bill Loses in House
by Four Votes; Had Passed
Senate 28-19

The Illinois House of Representatives
on June 10 defeated the bill to create
state prohibition commissioner by a vote
of - to 90, This bill was Senate bill,
having passed that body by vote of %
to l9 after similar bill had been defeated
il the House in April, falling short one
vote at that time, of constitutional ma
jority.
The drys lost the Senate bill by four
votes-77 being the constitutional major
ity. Superintendent Gilbert of the Anti

The commissioner bill provided for a
state prohibition commissioner with two
principal deputies and Is Investigators,
and in the opinion of the dry forces would
have greatly facilitated dry law enforce

TO MOP UP EAST COAST STATES

Last week a two-days conference was
held III Washington, participated in by
General Andrews, assistant Secretary of
the Treasury in charge of prohibition en-
torcement, Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes and assistants and prohibition
directors from number of states.
While the details of the conference
were not made public it is understood
that there will be mobilization of forces
Tor an offensive against illicit liquor on
land similar TO that now being waged on
sea.
The fact that most of the state direc-
tors were from the east gave rise TO the
belief that the territory selected for the
administrative drive to dry up the coun-
try IS triangle running from Maine
along the Canadian border, then south
through Illinois and diagonally across TO
Georgia
The eastern side of the triangle would
extend from Maine along the Atlantic
coast to the Gull of Mexico The coast
guard was represented at the conference.
which led to the belief that the next move
IS likely to be joint operation on land

offenses: drunk, vagrancy, disorderly

violated than laws against theft This
correspondent says:
In spite of all the united efforts of
the vets and with judges (some of
them) in sympathy with the breaking

with only half-effort on the part of

A reduction of nearly 40 per cent in
the proportion of cases of alcoholic in
sanity in 1924 as compared with pre-pro-
hibition years is shown by statistics just
compiled by the Scientific Temperance
Federation. Details of total admissions
and of admissions of alcoholic insanity
cases have been secured from as hospitals
in twelve states, Maine, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island Connecticut, Vermont,
New York, Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi,
Louisiana, South Dakota, and Oregon.
Incomplete data were secured also from
California and Maryland.
In the thirteen years, 1912-1924, there
were 228745 first admissions to the hos
pitfalls of the twelve states. In the first
seven years, 1912-1919, cases Of alcoholic
insanity constituted per cent of all first
admissions; in the last six years covering
a little more than the prohibition period,
alcoholic casese were for SO per cent in
first admissions. The lowest point reached
by alcoholic admissions was 20 per cent
in 1920; in 1922 they constituted 40 per
cent of first admissions.
Although there has been this increase
since 1920 due to wilful drinking and vio-
1ation of the prohibition laws, it is evil
dent that conditions were distinctly bet
ter in 1924 than in the average pre-prohi-
bition year. Had the alcoholic admis-
sions continued to come during the pro-
hibition years at the most favorable rate
of the normal pre-prohibition years (6.8
per cent in 1879 there would have been
7040 alcoholic cases from 1919 to 1924,
instead. of the 800 actually admitted;
there would have been 1904 admitted in
1924 instead of the actual us. Hence,
despite some increase since the low point
of 1920, the taxpayers in the twelve states
have been saved during the prohibition
years the expense of caring for some
5000 alcoholic insane whom they would
have had to care for had the most favor
able pre-prohibtion rate prevailed Or,
to put it another way, this reduction in
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1925-06-26

admissions of new alcoholic insane has
made it possible to care for about 5000
other new insane patients without increas-
ing expense for accommodation or atten-
dance necessary to this number.
These new statistics are of interest in
connection with the reports circulated i'll
the press that alcoholic insanity has
trebled i'll New York state under prohi-
bition. The statement is true only when
1924 is compared with 1920 the first pro-
hibition year. But alcoholic insanity has
not increased since 1920 over that of the
pre-prohibition years. On the contrary
the alcoholic admissions are consider
ably fewer in New York state than in the
normal years before prohibition. Actu-
ally, in 1924 there were 1875 fewer new
cases of alcoholic insane admitted to hos
pitfalls than in the average normal wet
year, 1912-l917. During those years, the
alcoholic insanity averaged 81 cases. in
each 100 first admissions; in 1924, there
were but 54 in 100.
The largest increase in alcoholic insan-'
lty since prohibition went into effect oc-
CURED in the first year after the New
York state prohibition enforcement law
was repealed, 1923-1924
The percentage of Incorporate pa
tients among first admissions in New
York is markedly lower under prohibi-
ton, ranging from 11.8 to AS per cent.
In 1909 there were % incorporate per-
sons in each 100 first admissions. The
average, 1o12-l917 was II per cent. The
rate never went below 1876 between 1909
and 1917. Besides these proportions, the
percentage of even 1924 (145) shows inn
provement and suggests that apparently
intemperance is less prevalent in New
York under prohibition even in that class
of the population supposed to be most
susceptible to alcohol, the mentally un-
stable.
New York is paying the price of wilfu1
drinking and violation of prohibition law
