The advertising and exaggerated
importance. then, which often is all
unconsciously given TO every drink
now consumed, distorts its real
value III making an honest estimate
of how wet America really is.
This is especially true with refer
ence to society drinking" There
never was a time in the old days
when liquor was not freely con-
sumed in the clubhouses frequented
by the well-to-do. But my personal
opinion is that there is no greater
amount of drinking now by men
and women of leisure and wealth.
Few do it from habit. More do
it for show" In nearly every
country club will be found a coterie

my suburban home. Indelibly i'm
pressed upon my mind is the fact
that scarcely night-never a week
went by without several drunken
men Keeling past me from the five
saloons near that corner. No one
noticed them.
Now, one such incident would
cause headlines. No, 1 am sure no
adequate, reliable conclusions can be
drawn as to the wetness Of the
United States today by comparing
police blotters for drunkenness be-
fore and since prohibition.
Travelling men and others who
have bu~inesss contacts frequently
say, Why, in the old days, when
we were engaged in a deal, we
passed out or we're handed a cigar,
and now we are taken into a pri-
vate Office and bottle of liquor
is pulled out of a file case or the
bottom drawer as the method of
breaking the ice and producing con-
geniality."
Only Dampness Now.
No one will deny, of course, that
there was so-called business drink
ing in the old days. This treating
in private Offices is only the modern
form of the old, Draw up, boys, to

real experience with private liquor
treating today and the saloon treat
ing of yesterday, there will be little
doubt that the modern form is only
dampness compared to a deluge.
That in certain groups boys and
girls are more likely to drink than
formerly, 1 also do not deny. 1t is
serious and repulsive. But, like
country club drinking, that condi-
ton affects only small proportion

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Against these many disconcerting
phases of prevalent drinking today
we must in fairness balance the
evidence of decrease in the amount
of liquor consumed by the millions
Of working people of the country.
Our great industrialists, including
Ford, Edison, Durant and Alfred
J. Sloan Jr. Of the General Motors
company, have spoken definitely and
repeatedly as to the economic and
industrial benefits of lessened drink
ing among the members of their
organizations since prohibition be-
came the law.
Practically all economists agree
that there have been real benefits
to industry and to people who work
for living, through prohibition.
There is no positive mathematical
reply to the query of how wet
America is. Too many of us have

who attend high schools and col
leges, or are engaged in industry.
It touches those who drive their
own roadsters and can initiate their
defiant elders. The same psychology
that brings about society drinking"
has created drinking among $50
ciety's children" It caters to the
desire to be noticed, and youth ever
has desired to do what is daring.
No one places the blame for in
creased cigaret smoking on the
prohibition law-and that increase
probably is an expression of the
same spirit Of revolt which produces
the increase of drinking among GER
tain classes Of young people. I am
not passing lightly over drinking
among youth; I just am wondering
if these youths of 1929 would not
be doing it whether their liquor
came from licensed saloons or

theless, it is the performance Of a
small, sensation-seeking group that
attracts most attention and con-
vinces many people that all the
country is wetter than ever before.
People so often ask, But II pro-
hibition is any success at all, why
is 1t that arrests for drunkenness
in many cities have increased in
recent vears?" I remember Senator
Reed of Missouri made a great
speech about that before he left
the senate.
Undoubtedly increased arrests for
drunkenness indicate a bad symp-
tom. But it is ridiculous to assume
that it proves any increase in drink
ins. 1 well remember that when I
was public defender in the police
courts Of Los Angeles, the drunk"
picked up on the streets at night
and from the saloons at closing
time we're treated quite differently
than they are in that city and prac-
tically every other city in the
United States today.
Now they are placed under formal
arrest, charged with illegal posses
sion or sale of liquor or the viola
ton of some city ordinance. Then
they were regarded as objects Of pity,
and placed in the drunk tank" In

place of business without loss of a
working day.
I have seen as high as 140 men
and women passed through sun
rise court in one morning. Only
when their offense was repeated so
as to become habitual we're they
charged formally, arraigned and
tried.

answered the question according to
our own hopes or desires and then
cited some fact that in distorted
setting seemed to furnish proof. like
city's statistics on arrests for
drunkenness.
The honest answer lies in fairly
weighing the disorderly evidences of
easy drinking" against balancing
indications of gain, like the passing
of blue Mondays Even after
doing that, the result is not mathe-
NAUTICAL. 1t is only opinion. But
it can be fair and calm opinion.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-08-07

We can not forget that as long as
large number Of people have a
thirst for alcoholic stimulants, and
other people have desire TO make
big money quick, liquor will be pro-
duceo and consumed, in spite OF
laws or officers of the law.
But I doubt if any one really be-
lieves for the fraction of a moment
that prohibition has not reduced,
and very materially reduced. both

Intoxicating liquors throughout the

During the past year many things have happened in Berlin which have been brought to the minds of local residents, but perhaps the thing of greatest importance and that which has been discussed time and again and has not vet been settled is the school question. This matter came up before the Berlin people yeatS $ ago but lately much agitation has been noted and very little accom- plished. The school committee, hea = Id at that time by Stanley L. Galpn has demanded that something bc done by Berlin to relieve the con- gested conditions within the toWI. In a series of meetings, all of which eventually proved of no avail. tor Inc matter is not yet settled, Berlin residents attempted to show how they stood in regard to the question.
 The finance board recommended hat the town appropriate $130.ohO for the erection of a new school house. complete in every detail, anl plans were discussed with architc' Is to gi', Berlin q school.

This seemed 10 meet with the approval of LII concerned and the matter was al lowed to drop at that point. Again 1t was rcopened when the school board advocated the buying Of more property and building a $97.000 al dition to the present school. Since then nothing has been done with the exception of considering the Murray property and voting against it's purchase.
 Few Fires in Berlin
 Fires during the past year cost the town of Berlin an aggregate sum of s750. During the year there WIS only one bad fire, with five minor ones, the New Britain fire depar,- mcnt responding in each case to the alarms. George B.

Map Shoes Air Pressure
No. S27

a WEATHER map is drawn by the forecaster in
L \ charge of a United States weather bureau by
combining his own observations with those from other
stations received by telegraph
These figures are entered in circles on large man
known as the study map. Each circle on the map is
located at the proper point for the location OF the
station which made the observations.
Then from the study map. the forecaster prepares
the weather map for the day.
All points which have the same berometrc pressure
are joined by heavy black lines These lines are
known sobarS. The word means equal pressure -
BY drawing these lines interesting condition is
discovered. The lines all in circles or ovals so
that the high pressure and low pressure areas are
surrounded by area in which thee is gradual change
of pressure.
The forecaster also places little arrows on his map
indicating the direction of the wind. These arrows
indicate another interesting fact
The high and low pressure areas are both at the
center OF great whirls eddies
In the case of the high pressure the is a
center away from which the air is whirng.
In the of the low pressure it is center
toward which the air is moving
AS rule, the high pressure area is one OF cool set
tied weather while the low pressure is OF
warm moist and often rainy weather.
The movement of air. that is the winds is from
the high to the low pressure area The general move
ment, however. is deectd by the earhs rotation so
as to form the whrls eddies already mentioned
The accompanying map shows low Iowa
This that Iowa is the center of great storm
area.
All the air in the low pressure and the sur
rounding areas is whrling. with motion opposite to
that OF the motoin Of the hands OF clock This great
whir extends up to height Of six miles in the air.
Such great whirlng mass Of air 1000 miles per-
haps in diameter and six miles thick constitutes a
cyclone.
Atr the same time that the winds are whrling
around the center of the low pressure this center
may be moving along.
At the same time that the winds are whirlng
around the center of the low pressure this center
may be moving along.
The result is that the direction in which storm
moves is not necessarily the direction in which the
wind at any given point is blowing.
For example. within twelve hours. the low pres
sure area may shife from position in central Iowa
tc one in southern Michigan.

Historical Fiction

A LTHOUGH the story was in
: A vented by an imaginative per-
son it has taken on by now the
quality of folklore which is field
not to be skipped over by even the
most precise of commentators
Folklore, you see, represents the
dreams, the visions and the aspira-
tionS Of a people.
The yarn about the cherry tree
is revealing as a historical docu-
ment 1t shows how legendary
Washington became to his own peo-
pie. 1t is convincing proof of his
aloofness and austerity.
Even in this late and better re-
ported day it is probable that Ger
tain phrases attributed to Foch and
Joffre never were actually uttered.
But does it matter in light of the
fact that millions believed and be-
haved precisely as if the words
were authentic?
For instance, I know of my own
knowledge that General Pershing
did not say, Lafayette nous voile";
this was the high spot in another
mans speech. Some years ago I
was intent upon publicizing the fact
that the utterance was not Perish
ing's. This was a silly and futile
undertaking.
America wanted to believe that
Pershing said it. Possibly he him
self came to believe that it was his.
And now it is. He owns it by a
right which I believe is known as
eminent domain.

Coolidge Chooses-A Little

SO Coolidge is going into business after all. He
hasn't exactly plunged in, for any precpitate action
would be contrary to the CooLdgean philosophy But
he at least has put his toe into the water by accepting
nomination a director of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company
We hope he goes into business all the way What
ever his fault president he was unusually success
ful business manager Of the federal government
He ablest and happiest in that role So doubtless
he has future business executive, if he chooses
to in that direction.
The fact that his duties as an insurance company
director will be slight indicates that has not decided
definitely on the nature of his full time job.
He has plenty to choose from. He has been offered
apparently the presidency of universities and pub
fishing firms we'll as of banks and industrial cor
porations One group wants to recoup Republican
party fortunes in Massachusetts, by running him for
the United States senate And some say the low-down
is that he wants to succeed Taft some day as chief
justice of the supreme court.
Coolidge isn't great lawyer, publisher, or educator.
But If he takes business job he can give to it more
than the mere prestige of ex-presidential name.
