themselves for further battle against

Byrd Charts Course

MANUFACTURERS FAVOR DRY Law
Babson Institute Questions Manu-
facturers and Finds Three Fourths
Favorable to Prohibition Law

The Babson Statistical Institute of
Wellesley, Mass, founded by Roger
Babson, the world authority on econom-
les, framed and sent out QUESTIONABLE
to manufacturers in an effort to deter
mine the effect of prohibition from an
employers standpoint.
Seyenty-fve per cent of the large num-
Der of employers in the country, rep
resenting thousands OF workers, stated
that the economic effects OF prohibition
have been beneficial, both to their COM
panies from their own viewpoint and also
from that of their employees.
Fifteen per cent said they could not de-
tect any particular difference one way or
the other, and the remaining ten per cent
condemned prohibition, declaring it had
done more harm than good
The QUESTIONABLE was not sent to Sc
lected manufacturers whose attitude was
known to be favorable, but to large en-
ployers of men in various sections OF the
country and engaged in various forms Of
production. OF course employers like all
other classes are not unanimous On the
effect of prohibition any more than three
fourths of those who replied believe the
dry law in beneficial while only one
tenth condemn it, and less than one sev-
enth found any fault with it.

holism death rate can be reduced most eff
fectiyely by reducing the drinking of in
toxicating liquors, fact that every
school boy ought to know by this time;
but the public health loss caused by this
deliberate drinking is too little sensed.
The facts with which this statement be-
gin may we'll be repeated:
1900 lives have been saved in the six
prohibition years that the former alcohol
ism death rate would have snuffed out in
the United States.
5000 more lives might have been saw
ed had the voluntary or involuntary alb
stention from liquor of the first prohibi-
ton year continued
Misuse of Statistics
DR.. Bigelow's statistics, however, re-
ceived the chief publicity. Part of them
were misleading because he used figures
of actual deaths instead of death rates,
thus ignoring the constant increase in
population. That was the only way he
got $500 per cent increase for Rhode
Island in 1925. Even at that the actual
number of alcoholism deaths in Rhode
Island was only 80 as against 8 in 1920.
Besides there were fewer in 1925 than in
1923 or 1924, and the death rate was
about 20 per cent lower than in the av-
erage normal pre-prohibition year.
The increase in Massachusetts, has not
been 500 per cent either in actual deaths
or in death rates. There were 20 a1co-
holism deaths in Massachusetts, in 1920;
303 in 1925-a serious enough increase,
but it need not be exaggerated. Present
indications are that the rate will be lower

smaller number of deaths.

tistics Department reports a slightly
smaller number of deaths.
In both Massachusetts and Rhode
Island, the increase in alcoholic mortal
ity rates since 1920 has been greater
than in the country at large, partly be-
cause of a strong residuum of public sem
timent favoring drinking and opposing
the protective legislation of prohibition.
1t is significant perhaps that the group
of States which have showed the heaviest
percentage of increase in alcoholic deaths
losses since 1920 includes those common
ly known as "wet" strongholds. Maryland
which has never had state enforcement
law, heads the list with an increase of
nearly 500 per cent in its alcoholic death
rate since 1920, and a 1925 rate nearly Is
per cent above its average normal pre-
prohibition rate.
Freed from the sensational and not
wholly accurate elements in its statistics,
DIR. Bigelow's statement may we'll serve
to remind the entire country that alco-
holism is an absolutely preventable cause
of death; that it still is killing an unnec-
essary number of citizens; and that pro-
hibiton is designed, among other objects,
as a protective health measure.

tofore bootleggers unable to pay fines
assessed against them were sent to Jail
or workhouse where they worked out the
fine at per diem rate. 1t is now antici-

insolvent when hailed into court, and
there will not be nearly so much talk
about bootleggers' profits and million

Fourteen thousand, SIX hundred ana
forty G4,640) fewer deaths were caused
by alcoholism in the six prohibition years
in the United States than would have oc-
Cured at the normal pre-prohibtion rates
of 1910-1917. The average annual death
rate in the pre-prohibition years was So
per 100000 population. In 1925, it was
but SO, according to recent tables of the
Census Bureau. The increase after 1920
mostly occurred by 1923. Since 1923,
there has been but slight increase; in
many states the rate was lower in 1925
than in 1923.
This great saving of 1860 lives has
occurred despite an increase in alcoholic
mortality occurring in most of the States
since the sharp drop of the first prohibit
ton year. This reaction due to organ
ization of the illegal traffic and the ridi
cu1e of prohibition and of total abstinence
which induced drinking has needlessly
cost the country about 5000 lives that
might have been saved had purposeful
abstinence and law observance maintained
the alcoholism mortality rate of the first
prohibition year.
A little Smallpox epidemic sets health
departments hustling to exterminate the
disease and to inform the public how to
avoid it. Smallpox caused only 700
deaths in the United States in 1925; al
coholism caused 1904. A man who dies
of alcoholism is just as dead as the one
who dies of smallpox Yet alcoholism is
even easier to avoid than smallpox. 1t is
a curious twist of the mental operations
that for the most part has kept health
departments quiet about the health dam
gers in alcoholic liquors, or when they
speak has lent their speech to opposing
prohibition.
Neither of these descriptions is true of
the recent statement about alcoholism
mortality issued by Dr. George Bigelow
of the Massachusetts health department.
Buried in a sensational use of statistics,
which were not wholly accurately or SCI
entihca11y used, were two important facts
of warning to the public:
