"THE VALUE OF LAW OBSERVANCE"
Government Issues Educational
Booklet on Prohibition

The department. of justice, bureau of
prohibition has just issued a 57-page
booklet entitled, THE Value of Law OBJ
servance' 1t contains in succinct form
authentic facts. figures, and argument on
the evils of liquor drinking, and the value
to society of prohibiting the traffic.
The following on the effect of alcohol
on the community and on crime are typi-
cal of the excellent material contained in
this educational booklet issued by the gov
eminent itself:
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1930-11-01

discussing the detrimental effect upon thu
morals of the persons who consume it.
Waving this line Of approach for the
reason above mentioned, we may look for
the effect on the community in the inn
pairment of both body and mind. Cumu-
lative poisoning symptoms are apparent
in the persons under observation.
Taking the United States as a whole,
30 per cent of the inmates of institutions
during the year 1909 showed alcoholic
parentage. Edinburgh reported AZ per
cent; England, so per cent; Paris, % per
cent; Vienna. 81 per cent; Germany, 81
per cent; Prussia, in 1880, 80 per cent; in
1886, IS per cent; in 1887 36 per cent; in
1883, DO per cent; in 1909, As per cent.
In the Craig colony for epilepticS, in
New York, in 1910, the causes of epilepsy
in 469 inmates was heredity, and in 213
directly traceable to alcoholism acquired
by the patients and 259 showed alcoholic
parents.
It may be stated that study of mental
diseases the world over shows that % to
so per cent can be traced directly to alco-
holism on the part of the patient or to
alcoholic parentage.
The advantage and value ofnational
prohibition law observance to the COM
munity cannot be denied.
ALCOHOL AND CRIME
A lord chief justice of England states:
IF thoroughly examined, nine-tenths Of
the crimes of England and Wales could
be traced to drink
The Massachusetts, Bureau of Labor
Statistics showed in 1905 that "a per cent
IF Jc Jo,, in
regional institutions of that state owed
the conditions which induced the crime to
Incorporate habits.
A committee investigating crime in the
United States in 1900 concluded that 1895
per cent of the criminals in the country
were induced to commit crimes by alco-
holisrn
Crime investigations in countries whose
reputation is that Of light drinking are
as follows

Tt is stated by students of criminology
that alcoholism is responsible for 80 per
cent Of the antisocial propensities that
make necessary jails and correctional in
stitutions.
In addition to this, 20 to IS per cent
of the inmates in state poorhouses indi-
cate an alcoholic history.
Thus it is shown that alcohol is respon-
sible' for at least 25 per cent of the in
sane in the United States; for 40 per cent
of tho neglected or abandoned children in
the United States; for SO per cent Of the
eonyicts in prisons; for so per cent Of the
inmates of jails and warehouses; large
number of suicides and accidents; almost
all veneral diseases: and a large proper
ton of marital infelicities.
It is we'll to point out that these figures
were all collected before the national pro-
hibition act became effective in 1920.

Like trapped creature Meriem shrank from the
approaching man. She saw his hands extended,
cawlike, to seize her. heard his breath come quickly
Then she screamed-loud and shrill, once, twice,
q third time before Malbihn could leap across the
tent and throttle her cries with his brute strength.
Then she fought him. Beneath her rounded curves
and fine, soft skin lay the muscles of young
lioneSs The man found her desperate.

During this hard trek across the African plains
Malbihn feasted his eyes upon the face and figure
of the beautiful captive His desire to possess her
for himself became even greater than his greed for
the ransom money The fourth evening they pitched
camp. Meriem began to give up hope. Why did
not Korak come to her? She had been left alone
until near midnight when Malbihn entered her
tent. The look of beast was on his face.
