10 take a chance appear either to be di-
luted to the point of impotency or so
powerful and immediate in their action
as to put the victim past all relief from
disqualification. The Washingtonian Home
which cared for an average of 1852 alco-
holic patients every year for more than
sixty years preceding prohibition, has had
less than that number for the entire five
year period since the dry law went into
effect, and is now preparing to discon-
tinue its alcoholics ward and devote its
efforts to general hospital work.
A picture of the entrance to the famous
Washingtonian Home is shown in this
number of The Issue. The empty build
ing and the sign in the doorway eloquent
ly declared the glad news that prohibition
does save many who would otherwise be
sadly marching in as thousands had be-
fore them.

right to drink what he wishes and all that.

Il am an individualist and always have
been. | believe that man has the right
to do any old thing that does not affect
society. believe that man has right
to drink liquor or to eat rotten meat; our
laws do not forbid that. But when man
starts out to sell liquor or rotten meat for
human consumption, society becomes I'M

Old Man Prohibition to step in and take

ROTARY
Evanston News-Index)

A little group of men in the city
of Cleveland paid the members of
Rotary international high COM
pliment the other day.
Rotary had just held its conven-
ton there, with some $4,000 in at
tendance.
These Cleyelanders were boot
leggers. They had laid in extra
supplies preparing for rushing
business. But they were sorely dis
appointed.
Most conventions mean heavy
profits for the bootleggers. They
have learned that when a lot of
men foregather in a strange city
they usually call loudly for drinks.
But with Rotary it was different.
Sales absolutely were not above
normal. Hardly a single delegate
bought drink.
These guys must take their
ideals seriously complained one
OF the bootleggers.
That's just it. They do. That's
why the name Rotary is honored
throughout the country.

CLOSED DRINK CURES
ARE STUBBORN FACTS
Why Are They Closed if More
Drink Now Than Before?

In the good old days it was considered
very funny TO see drunk bump into a
lamp post. Either on the street or in a
cartoon the funniest thing always was the
apparent inability of the inebriated per-
son to understand the ''how came it
there" of the lamp post. In these days
one of the funniest things is to watch the
vets bump into facts that somehow get
in the way of their booze arguments.
One of these is the fact that the large
Kelley Cure building, at Dwight, ILL.,, was
sold to the government for hospital pur-
poses, while this famous institute for
the treatment of the drink and drug hab-
its, moved to much smaller quarters
This despite the fact that the Kelley In
stitute at Dwight was the parent institu-
ton and many of its branches as we'll as
all the Neal Institutes, for the same pur-
pose, were closed soon after America
went dry.
Washingtonian Home Closed
The closing of the Washingtonian
Home, half century-old liquor cure in
Chicago, is another stubborn fact that in
terrupts the staggering logic of liquor
lovers when they confdentially declare
drunkenness is increasing.
The Chicago Daily News included
these paragraphs in a report of the clos
ing of the Washingtonian Home and
plans for large new general hospital.
prohibition and its corollary topics of
bootlegging, moonshining and domestic
chemistry may continue to be discussed
and debated as ardently during the next
five years as they have during the last,
but one set of facts seems to be rather
definitely established: There is no longer
any need for hospitals devoted exclusively
to alcoholics. The illicit products on
which adventurous souls ape stiA willing

stated that the liquor-selling permits of
one hundred druggists had been revoked

the prohibition law is law of the land
and must be obeyed. Most druggists are

finish. but Joanna preferred not to
take it up.
Joanna heard Mrs. Adams. through
half opened doors, tell other girls in
the house that the drawing room
has been assigned for the evening
and heard the flippant rejoinders
that there were lots Of other wide
open spaces In the world anyway
After a while, after she had re
signed outright one Of her new
gowns to George as an installment
of tomorrow's promise, she thought
she heard John come in the front
door She listened. eagerly, lips hot,
eyes shining. and body trembling
but there was no call from Mrs.
Adams. She fell again to examining
herself in the bit of mirror, twisting
and squirming to glimpse as much at
one time as possible Of her gorgeous
" soft and glimmering evening
gown, out Of which her throat lifted,
round and white. She'd always had
a frock without sleeves and fairly
low cut neck, but each OF them, mod
est affairs, had made her hungry for
something real-something that real
ly would be a gown! At last! What
the feel Of that dress was to Joanna
nobody but Joanna will ever know.
She wouldn't admit it, herself, and
It's the sort Of thing that can be
painted on a canvas or put into
music, but never said in words.
She heard the rattle Of the door
bell. She signed to George to be
quiet, and opened her door an inch
or two. She heard Mrs. Adams
answering an inquiry. and the voice
she heard then was not Johns, but
the quiet, modulated tones Of the

And then Brandon's suave voice:

she thought she heard him. And he
