provcment in general health is due
to prohibition. and declared:
TT was pure water that made
prohibition in America, not any
moral issue or political policy.
was in Vienna when that city first
got pure drinking water, brought
down to the city from the mountain
springs. The Vicnesc suddenly
learned that they could drink water
without fear of sickness or death
In ten years after that the con-
sumption of wines and beers in
| Vienna decreased 40 per cent.
National prohibition is not a
failure. Prohibition, as it now exists
in America, is only process of cdu-
eating the American people to the
need of prohibition, and an expert
ment leading to the institution of an

control over Intoxicating liquors,

Something will soon be done to
problem. The time will come soon
when real method OF sensible con-
troll and regulation which will be
fair and just will be adopted.
The American people are begin
ming to realize that something must
be done. That is precisely the pur-

day. It Is working toward an end,
good end. and for that reason l
cannot feel that it is a failure"
DR. Mayo added that his clinic was
receiving fewer cases of alcoholism
than in pre- prohibition days, and
that surgical cases do not include as
many instances of lowered resist
ance due to alcoholism as in former

The famous surgeon then took oc-
casiOn to defend modern youth and
the 'jazz age" and scoffed at the
notion that conditions among young
people are worse than when he was
boy.
"If anything, they are better" he
said. youth is more sophisticated;
young people know more of evil and
for that very reason are better
equipped to face the problems OF
life.

RHINELANDER JURY
TO GET CASE SOON
Trial May Be Concluded BY
Next Tuesday

White Plains, \. Y, Nov. rs Up
Betting odds here are five 10 one
that Leonard Kip Rhinelander will
win his suit for annulmont Of his
marriage to the daughter OF a mu-
latto taxi driver
The argument Of rootcrs for the
suffering millionaire Is that even
though the weight Of evidence might
seem to be against him, a jury Of
white men cannot be expected to
force him 10 continue as husband
OF woman with negro blood,
The suit is the main topic OF con-
versation here and gossip credits
Isaac n. Mills with plan to intro
duce witnesses when the trial re-
opens Monday whose testimony will
be more sensational than any yet in
troduced. Mr.. Mills refused to COM
ment on this beyond saying that he
did not plan lengthy cross-exam-
nation OF the dusky wife, Alice
Jones Rhinelander, or her father,
George Jones, who are expected to
be the next witnesses.
It is predicted that Mrs. Rhine
Ilander's counsel will ask her If she
still loves and Is willing to effect q
reconciliation with the husband who
deserted her a month after their
marriage last year, upon publica-
ton of the fact that she had negro
blood. She is expected 10 answer in
the affirmative.
Counsel for both sides declined to
comment on rumor that the father
of Mrs. Jones white daughter,
brought over from England % years
ago, is now prosperous business
man living near Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Mr.. Mills laughed at the report
that Rhinelander's fortune of $780,
900, a legacy from his grandfather,
had nearly all been spent in prose-
cution Of the trial.
Il have no idea that he spent any
thing like 100000" Mr.. Mills said,
"and certainly I got very little of It,"
Mr.. Mills hopes for an early con-
| Clusion of the case. THE strain is
telling on my client and he is aging
rapidly" he said. He is almost
brokcnhearted over the case, and
feels deeply the humiliation he has
undergone. If ! did not know from
THE official record he Is only 20
would take him for man of at least
S."
Counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander ex-
pect the case TO reach the jury Tues
day afternoon, unless the plaintiff
introduces surprise witnesses In re-
lbuttal.
