Crackerjack Bill

y crackerJack bill for the re
n"indcr Of the card has been ar
ranged by Matchmaker Cap Stcv-
cns, who has Tony EscHlantr and
Harry Elder fighting in the semi
windup. Tony needs no introduc-
tion to Imperial Valley fight fans,
having string of victories longer
than the road to Mandalav, and be-
ing as vet undcfcatcd. Tony has
stepped right along since he started
as Il preliminary boy down at Mex
icali in the spring and is now. rated
one. of the best naturcd fighters
ever turned out i'll the valley.
Elder comes here with the rcput a.
tion of being one of the best 'gob
boxers in san Diego. Uncle Sam
teaches all of his sailors to box,
and many a topnotch boxer has OBJ
taincd his start on the decks of Il
battlcship. Elder ranks high in
his class and he may be the boy
that will put II stop to Escalantc 5
triumphant march.
Boys with Spanish names have
three fourths of the lower half of
the card, Young Jordan of San
Diego being the only Irish name
among the preliminary men. He
meets Young Firpo of Brawlcy in
the four round special, and comes
here we'll recommended. The fans
krow that Firpo can hit and that
he can also absorb plenty of pun
ishmcnt. 1t is always II fight
when the Brawlcy boy is one of the
mixers.
SiXto Mcrcado, Il Filipino boy
living in FL Centre, will start the
show off with De l.a Fuentc of Ca
lcNico. Anyone knows the fight
ing qualities Of the filipinoS, these
boys having made Il Iamc for
themselves in boxing circles since
Uncle Sam first thew IA set of box
ing gloves into Manila. All Fill
pino fighters are fast. hard hittcrS
and game as they make 'cm. De La
Fucntc is making his bow to the
public and is out to make good.
Ii is apparent that there is going
to be good demand for reserved
seats.

strongest arguments for prohibition
ran as follows: This is a motorized
age, and the automobile must be kept
out of the hands of intoxicated peo-
pie: therefore, ban intoXiCantS.
Authoritative statistics with respect
to the increase of drunkenness among
minors are scarcer than figures for
other classes, the report adds. but it
cites examples of the increase from
records of the Washington Police De-
partment to prove its case:
Arrests of persons under % years
old average "A year for the four pre-
prohibition years, 19141917. A bone
dry law was enacted for Washington
before national prohibition became
effective, and Immediately youthful
drunkenness increased. In 1913 il
rose to 73 and by 1924 had reached
2S2, an increase of $40 per cent above
the prohibition level"
One of the interesting things
noted in the report as disclosed by the
survey was that while conditions in
the wet States are now about the
same as in 1914. in former dry states
which had some sort of prohibition
law before the 18th Amendment was
adopted, conditions are worse today
under the bone-dry Volstead act, than
under their own State dry laws"
Indiana was given as an example
Indianapolis being credited with 1876
arrests for drunkenness in 1924
against 1,121 in 1914: south Bend, ,625
against 79S, and Whiting, 236 as com.
pared with 76.

EOlstead Act Hit.

Since conditions have become
worse, not better, each year" the re-
port concludes, and with the next
generation drinking as never before
there seems to be no hope that the
Nolstead act in its present drastic
form will accomplish it's purpose in
the long run.
From the experience, before na-
tIonal prohibition, of the States which
had restrictive laws, from the ex-
perienCe OF the whole country during
the restrictive period of l918-1919, and
from the experience of the Canadian
provinces, we believe that a greater
degree of temperance can be at
taIned by a wise restrictive law than
by bone-dry law which does not COM
lnand the respect of a large part of
the people"
In replies from $50 places which
kept records Of intoXication arrests
from 1914, the report states that ar
rests on this charge in these COM
munities during 1914 had totaled 506,-
I3I. In the same places the total for
1920 the year after the Nolstead act
became effective, had dropped to 226,-
UIU, but in 1924 ii had risen to a total
of 1912.
y corresponding increase was noted
in the replies from 457 communities
where records of arrest for drunken
ness had been kept only since 1920.
More Drunken Drivers.
The increase in the number of drum
ken drivers, as shown by records of
such cities as seperate this class from
the general intoxication arrests, is
.fassed in the report 'as perhaps the
most curious result of national bone
drynesS."
If this sort of thing happened
only in a few instances it might be
attributable to purely local causes;
but the fact that it has occurred
everywhere, almost without exception.
leads to the confident belief that it is
due TO one general cause.-The Vol
stead act-with which it was coinci-
dent.
TO be exact motor vehicles in the
United States have increased from
1919 to 1924 only 132 per cent, where.
as drunken drivers increased in the
same period about 354 per cent on
the average. The difference of 222
Per cent is cleraly attributable to the
Eolstead act.
The most pathetic feature of it
al Is that prohibition was intended

BY the Associated Press.

bS the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 23.-The
conclusion that the NOlstead act has
failed utterly to accomplish it's pur-
pose TO promote temperance and So
brlety' has been reached by the Mod
Grafton League, Inc, on the basis of
q survey OF conditions in several hun
dred representative cities.
The league, composed of men from
every walk of life. is incorporated un-
der the laws of New York State for
the announced object of restoration
OF temperance" Its survey collected
statistics dealing with prohibition dur
ing the last II years from every city
or town of more than 5000 population.
On the basis Of these data, the league
declares, drunkenness generally has
{ncreased to virtually the pre-prohibi-
tton levels, and certain classes of in
IOXlcatlOn cases, among automobile
drivers and minors, especially. have
increased far above anything ever
known before in this country"

Mr.. Thompson entered the service
of the Associated Press in 1892 In
Washington. During his years of
service there he gained and held the
friendship of high officials of this
Government and members of the
diplomatic corps. In 1902 he was
transferred to Paris to take charge
of the bureau of the Associated
Press and later was given similar
assignment in London. He returned
to the United States in 1905 and be-
came superintendent of the Eastern
division of the Associated Press, with
Headquarters in New York.
In 1913 he was made superintendent
of the Washington bureau. In the
first year of the World War, because
of his unusual qualifications for for

was detailed TO special staff work in

should be uppermost in the minds of
US all is: What of our character 1t
is this alone which counts in the long
run.
What man, no matter how great
has been his power and success, does
not realize it in those last days of life
when, before his failing sight, ap-
pears the darkness of the shadow of
the valley? The ebbing away of blood
in the human body has no more
marked a relation to its welfare than
the disintegration of character has
upon a people.
"In the coming century American
civilization must meet its highest
test-the test of whether or not IL
has followed those beacon lights
personal character which our New
England forebears lifted on high for
the guidance of our people. AS they
carried out in their daily life the
principles of national conduct for
which they stood-self-d denial, clean
illness of mind and the subordination
of individual interest when opposed
to the common good, and helped to
give us this self governing Republic,
so we of today, to preserve 1t and
our freedom and happiness, must not
only treasure in our hearts and con-
sciences the sense of duty to our God
and our country. but exemplify it in
our daily life as a people"
