made a success by making law en-
forcemcnt a success. Our task is to
create public sentiment for prohlbi-
ton. The vets are trying to create

vets are yelling at the present time

dian used TO attack his enemies. by
accompanying the attack with yolls,

dating his victims. and TO make
them think there We're a great host
encamped against them.
The vets are III the minority, and
# is said by those who know. that
l,cn don't always vote in the quie-
tude of tho booth, as they talk on
the street corner. The drys do not
need to yell about prohibition. 1t
speaks for itself by the amazing up
lift that it has been responsible for
throughout our country. The states
that have refused to ratify it. Con-
necticut being one, have enjoyed a
tremendous decrease in crime. Sta
tistics prove this. Drinking has de-
creased tremendously among stu
dents Of Yale and all colleges since
prohibition. There has been a great
increase in the opening Of bank ac-
counts among the working classes
since prohibition. The death rate
throughout the country has been
lowered since prohibition. These
statements may be proven by sta
tistics. Prohibition is not a failure
vet. If anything is a failure it is law
enforcement. The great task Of the
church, and the w. G. T. T.. and all
others who love their country. Is to
create a greater respect for the laws
OF our country. and to do all in our
power to uphold the constitution

Iron Age says mill operations are
taperlng, but the gradual character
of the decline is testimony to the
large volume OF steel passing direct
~ INTO consumption. With prices
no longer buoyant, consumers are
ordering sparingly and in some in
stances, are delaying purchases in
the hope of buying more adyan-
tageously later. This spirit of
caution is reflected not only in new
business but in ii reduction in the
average size Of individual spccifica-
tons Shipping orders in the as-
sregate, however, show surprisingly
little change.
For the third successive week the
Iron Age pig iron composite price
has reached new low level. 1t is
not sll.34 ton. the lowest since
1878. Finished steel remains for
a third week at 2.34S cents a pound.
