schwenck, of 275 East 16Sth street,
assistant manager of the Towle

O'Connor Would Sell 400 Ves-
sells for Scrapping, But
Thompson Opposes Plan

Chairman T. V. O'Connor, of the
United States Shipping Board. to-
day went into a series of confer
ences with other members of the
board on the subject of the disposi-
ton of surplus Government ships.
O'Connor returned Sunday from
Detroit, where he discussed the
Government s shipping problem with
Henry Ford, and prevailed upon the
automobile manufacturer to put in
a bid for at least 400 of the ships,
most of which would have to lie
scrapped by the purchaser.
Commissioner Thompson is op-
posing the sale of the ships to Iri-
Yate interests on the ground that
the maintenance of the vessels is
not costly and that they could be
used by the Government at some
future time.
OF the 1900 ships owned by the
Government, Chairman O'Connor
wants to sell 400 for scrapping,
keep 400 in reserve and the re-
manning 400 in operation for freight

HOMES AND HOME FURNISHINGS
IN DRY UNITED STATES

Scrutator, special writer for Chicago
Tribune's financial page, in the Tribun
IF April 8 says:
The data on home building do not
disclose any slackening in the march
toward home ownership. The last
available census reports show steady
gain. People do not seem to have
been mortgaging their homes to buy
autos as per the popular legend to
that effect.
The people also have been making
rapid progress in furnishing their
houses and despite the outcry of some
branches of the clothing trade, they
have more invested in clothes and
jewelry.
The census estimate of an increase
in such items of from $4,000, 100000
to 9,000,000,000 from 1912 to 1922
is obviously too high; but an increase
of $50 per cent in that decade while
population was gaining IS per cent, is
certainly a most substantial gain.
H. w. Lockett, research engineer,
estimates the increase at $50 per cent
after an interesting analysis: "This
factor of our national wealth is desig-
mated by the Census Bureau as cloth
ing, personal adornment, furniture,
etc." For 1912 the bureau gives the
factor a value of $12,758,000,O00, and
for 1922 $39,816,0O0,000
These figures show that prohibition a
east has not retarded the purchasing Q
homes and home furnishings.

District Attorney Buekncr, commenting
upon this new departure in liquor case

The establishment of a paddock

cases was an absolute necessity to
prevent the courts from becoming so
c1ogged as practically to stop the adj
vancement of offenders of justice.

JUNK TWO MORE BREWERIES
Illinois Continues to Apply Torch
and Sledge Hammer to Law
Defying Breweries

Destruction of two more brewing plants
has been ordered in Chicago by the fed
eral court, with authority to sell the ma
chinery as junk and conhscate the pro-
ceeds.
This brings the total of Illinois brew
cries which the government has either
padlocked for year or wiped out, to an
even Is.
Application for destruction of brewery
machinery of number of breweries now
under paddock has been made but is not
being pushed and no further action will
be taken unless there are further viola
tons by these offending breweries, ac-
cording to Assistant United States Attor-
ney Grossman.
The first two breweries of the state to
feel the full weight of the law by having
the machinery destroyed were the Elgin
Ice & Beverage Company of Elgin, and
the Z. Porter Products Company of Joliet.
The last two breweries to suffer the su-
preme penalty are breweries at Frankfort
and Dundee.

WHAT THE CURRENT MAGAZINES ARE SAYING ABOUT
PROHIBITION AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
L Transeau)
PROHIBITION, THE LAW AND
THE FACTS
Emma L. Transeau)
By Ernest w. Vaudeville


vile presents in this article, there would
soon be less to publish about violations
of the law. Prohibition came because
enough people to bring it about under
stood the nature and workings OF alco-
holic beverages. Those who have not this
knowledge are making the trouble, fur
nishing the market which tempts the
bootlegger Many of the old false prophe-
sizes and slogans still doing duty against
prohibition are here corrected: The pres
ent booming of hotel business, instead of
the destruction foretold; the slow growth
of prohibition, showing that it was not
Slipped over; the illicit distilling, boot
Logging graft and corruption that were a
part of the liquor traffic for long years
before it was outlawed; the shrinking
number of jobs open to the man who rs
in the .throes of the liquor habit"
Manual Iaborers of twenty years ago
could consume considerable quantity of
booze and still do their work; but with
the advent of electrical appliances and
delicate mechanisms, soberness becomes
absolutely necessary to the workers
safety and to the wen-being of the en-
ployer's machinery. With over hi
teen million automobiles on our highways
and with the popular knowledge of what
havoc to life and property can be caused
by an intoxicated driver, many are seeing
the necessity of soberness for common
IL ,faA~ ,1f &c al
low human beings.
Encouraging glimpses are given of
public opinion:
A growing portion of public opinion IS
frowning upon illegal drinking-more, I
believe, than before prohibition-and the
weight of this opinion is bound to have
its effect. Almost every one agrees
that prohibition at its worst IS better than
the old licensed saloon system.
Those who declare there is more drink
ing now than before prohibition have to
wreste with facts like these:
Surely small portion of the men lin
manufacturing plantsl who used to flock
to the saloons can now do business with
the "speakeasies" and blind pigs"
There can hardly be as great volume of
liquor transported or consumed today
under existing conditions (bad as they
are) as there was previous to 1920.
I was taken through at least twenty cheap
lodging-houses where the hoboes and the
out-of-work buy the privilege of lying on
the floor for ten cents night. Ten years
ago most of these men would be in va
rious stages of drunkenness. Among the
five or six hundred unfortunates that
viewed early this year on these Chicago
floors, saw only three who appeared to
have been drinking. Ten years ago
it was certainly not novel thing to see
drunken man staggering up the street or
reclining on bank. Today in the Middle
West the sight of drunkard is so rare
that when there is one he usually attracts
a crowd of onlookers. In the old
DAYS there would have been scores of
drunken men on board [of train on
Christmas dayl and probably number
of fights [now, not drunken man, nor
any liquor was seen, nor the odor of hq-
