DRINK KILLS FEWER NOW
Dry Editor Calls to Mind Deaths from
Alcoholism in DAYS of Saloon

Vets set up the claim that in the first
seven years OF prohibition $4,000 persons
met death in tbs United States from con-
Stunning bootleg liquor. They do not, how
ever, produce authentic figures to prove
the claim. But the other side is we'll set
forth by the Paulding (Ohio) Republi-
can in the following:
During the days Of the fight made
against the saloon and the drink
curse the statement was frequently
made that 100000 people persisted
annually because of the consumption
of alcoholic liquors. Z. Bunnell
Phelps, a statistician for one of the
big insurance companies, doubted the
statement and made an exhaustive
study of the conditions to learn the
facts for his company. He came to
the conclusion that $3.50 deaths oc-
CURED annually in which alcohol was
a contributing factor.
In other words, more people were
killed in one year before prohibition be-
came a national law than were killed in
seven years by bootleggers, taking the
bootleggers friends figures for it.

PROHIBITION AIDS KIDDIES
Physician Finds Drouth Has Saved
Many Children's Lives; Death
Rate is Greatly Cut Down

Whatever else prohibition may have
done or left undone, DR.. Louis I. Dublin,
a fellow Of the American Public Health
Association, at Washington, finds, after
a 25-year study, that it has helped the
kiddies.
About its having helped the adult males
he is not so sure, but he does declare that
It has been a benefit to all adolescents
and to females of all ages
Dr. Dublin's investigations, according
to newspaper reports covered New York,
New England, New Jersey, Michigan and
Indiana, in which area live one-fourth of
all the people in the United States. DIR.
Dublin's findings cover the years 1000
1925.
"The prohibition PERIOD" DR.. Dublin
says, is characterized by sharply declin-
ing mortality among children and ado
lescents of both sexes, and that decline
is characteristic of number of addi-
tiona1 age periods among women.
Better homes, more healthful food,
greater freedom for relaxation and recre-
alton have been reflected in the better
health of these classes"
Dr. Dublin finds that the combined
mortality OF all classes of population has
declined in the 25-year period, which, as
one must recall, has been the period in
which saloons were rapidly disappearing,
and period, the last part OF which was
under national prohibition.
"The years 1919 and 1920 brought
down the mortality rate to point lower
than it had ever. been before. Since then
the death rate has been rising.
There has been saving each year of
about 1850 children under age 5; 1000
each year between and 10; another 1000
between 10 and 20, total OF approxi-
mately 1880 lives year"
Dr. Dublin sees rise in the death rate
for adult men, for the period of 1920 to
1925, to a point not quite, but nearly
that of the decade prior to prohibition.
He insists that benefits from prohibition
have been greatest where prohibition was
best enforced, and least where it was the
most poorly enforced The least benefit
to adults OF the male sex he found was in
Eastern cities.

TO the extent that citizens can obtain help
from the federal authorities where there
is a breakdown from the standpoint of
local enforcement, and in cases of larger
violations which are peculiarly the prov
ince of the federal agencies.
But in the last analysis it is the local
officials who must be made to assume
responsibility. When they are, function
ing, law enforcement will be on a solid
foundation and not until then
States attorneys, sherilfs, and county
judges are to be nominated in the coming
primary election, April 10. These officers
have the success or failure of prohibition
in their hands. They can either see to it
that law volators are diligently ferreted
out and vigorously prosecuted, or they
can shut their eyes and permit the law
less elements to prey upon the county.
The powers and duties of state and To-
cal officials under the Illinois Prohibition
act are as follows
States Attorney
The states attorney is responsible for
enforcement of prohibition in his county.

any part of his county it is his duty to
set the machinery of the law in motion
to obtain the necessary evidence and
prosecute vioators.
Sheriff
1t is the duty of the sheriff and his dep
uties, independent of the states attorney,
on reasonable suspicion, to make investi-
cation of alleged law violations, and on
evidence gathered to proceed against the
vio1ators
Municipal, County and Circuit Judges
Judges are responsible for the punish
mcnt of vioators found guilty. The Hi
nois Prohibition Act provides that fine
of 81 900 and a sentence of six months in
jail may be imposed for first offenses,
which are main violations OF the law For
a second ofense violators may be fined
$500 and must be imprisoned in the state

year.
Police Officers
It is the duty of every chief Of police,
every marshal, every police officer, and
every constable or other peace officer, to
diligently investigate when they have
knowledge, information or suspicion that
the law is being violated, and on evidence
secured, swear out warrants, arrest and
bring yiolators before the courts.
Mayors
AS the chief executive officer, it is the
duty of every mayor to see to it that the
police enforce the law in his city or vii
lage.
County Boards
Under the law it is the duty of county
boards to lend every possible assistance
to the states attorney sheriff and other
officials in the enforcement of prohibit
ton. County boards can provide the mon
ey to hire detectives to secure evidence

one to ten dollars is returned in the form
of fines for every dollar spent to secure
evidence against dry law violators.
City Councils and Village Boards
Under the law, city and village prohibi-
ton ordinances may be passed. Such or

 Ills work and that of Dr. Hrdiicka indicate the existence of an early culture in Alaska quite distinct rom that of the Eskimos-of a people who. driven out of Asia or urged on by wanderlust. presumably settled there for few generations. but finally moved southward where life could be sustained more easily and the natural elements were not so hostile.
 The expedition this summer will attempt to substantiate reports of ancient village sites on St. Law renee Island and the Seward Penjn- sula. If they can be found. Collins plans to eNcavate them with the help of Eskimos. He purposes also to take physical measurements Of living Eskimos.

NAVY WANTS HELP
 FOR AIR CHARTS
Tlans-Oceanic Pliers Urged to
 Do Their Part

Washington, July .7. R1To aid Ill laying out ocean aviation routes and charting upper air conditions. the Photographic office of the Unit cd States Navy has prepared a standard flight log form which all aviators making transa tlantic or other ocean flights will be asked to fill out in the future.
 Through the collection of this in- formation and with the aid of data from weather and hydrographic sta uons the navy hopes to provide ex- tenslNe charts and routes for the air just as ocean routes have been charted for ships through the col lection of data and observation over long period of time.
 The Photographic office recently took the leadership in preparations for transatlantic mail and passen- ger travel hy inauSurating a month- ly pilot chart ot d north Atlantic giving information on wind condi- tions at various attitudes, fog and temperature lines, recommended transatlantic and Central Ameri- Can routes for the month.
 In addition it now is preparing an extensive series of aviation charts covering all of the coastal area of the United States, Central America and the West Indies. This program when completed will in- clude more than 60 charts giving air routes and nayigational infor- nation, including aerial photo- graphs of outstanding landmarks and charts of all seaplane anchor ages.
 More than a score of aviation charts already have been issued covering the routes from New York 10 Haiti and from Key West to New Orleans. Others will be added at regular intervals.
 The monthly North Atlantic charts Of the upper air which were inaugurated last December are the first attempt toward systematc charting of upper air conditions. The maps. made with the coopera- tion Of the United States weather bureau, have brought enthusiastic comment from ayiators all over the world. The chart gives prevailing wind conditions. fog areas with the percentage of fog to be encoun- tered during the month. average water and surface air temperatures and recommended routes for the month from America to Europe, from Africa to south America and from the United States to the West Indies and Central America.
 Data printed on the reverse of 1 the chart includes d meteorological analysis for the month, navigation al comment relative to air and l ocean temperatures and fog and 1 upper air data having a bearing on ocean temperatures and fog and | upper data having bearing on the selection of plane routes.
 Additional information will be | incorporated in the charts as rapid ly as it becomes available. and the North Atlantic charts will proba- bly be followed by similar ones for other oceans. Upper ai' observa- ton stations probably will be es- tablished at Bermuda, the Azores and on the north coast of Africa in the future.
 In connection with he air chart ing program the hyorographic of- flee has assembled navigational analyses of virtual, all recent tranoceanic flights. The office has had the personal cooperation of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, Lieut.. W. V. Davis Lieut.. F.. B. Bronte, Arthur GJebel and other fliers concerning their respective flights.
