Finds Children Cruelty Cases
 Involving Liquor Drop

Boston, Jan. c1 (CP)-National prohibition, with all its weaknesses, has reduced child abuse and neglect. due to intempersnce, by more than one.halt, according to Theodore A. Lothrop, general secretary of the Massachusetts Society for the Pre- yention of Cruelty to Children.

 Surely we cannot endorse pres cnt efforts to repeal our baby Vol stead act our state concurrent law. and so further weaken the enforce ment of national prohibition" he said. There would be nothing help full or constructive in such action.
 "Rather. we vould earnestly urge iUholehearted and sympathetic sup port Of President Hoover's adminis- tration program Of enforcement and study, and then, when the results are known, such may be indicated"
 Reviewing the work Of the society the report cited the following per- centage figures for intemperance cases: 1sl6, 47.7; 1921. 1s.s; 1922. 2o.2; 1923. 23.2; 1924. 2l,s; 1925. 1S.9; 1928. 22.2; 1927, 22.1; 1928. c0.S; 1929, 2O.3.
