Every
Day
Sense
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A MOTHER thing prohibition
"A has done is to change the
traditional feminine attitude to-
ward intoXicants.
Before 1917 it was customary to
assume that all women were ard
emily dry. And they were.
outside of the lowest stratum
of society, one scarcely could find
a woman who condoned drinking
among her sex. Liquor was re-
garded by all decent wives and
mothers as a danger and an evil
dence Of the more sinful propen-
stiles of the male. In respectable
circles there was no mixed drink
ing.
Traffic in booze was one of the
wicked things in which men in
dulged and which women put up
with as they put up with measles
among their children and late
frost on the gardens.
Now, however, we see a different
picture. More than 1000 prom
inent women from all sections of
the country invade Washington to
demand of President Hoover re-
peal Of the prohibition law.
DURING the short time the or
II ganization has been in exist
ence. its leader, Mrs. Charles Sa-
bin, recently chosen one Of the
twelve greatest women in the
United States, announces that it
has enlisted more than 100000
members. Upon its rolls are the
names of many famous women.
1t is a movement that is certain
to gain momentum.
That it exists at all is signifi-
cant 1t proves that women are
learning to think as individuals
instead Of as a mass.
1t can not be denied that
feminine opinion was responsible
for our present Volstead law.
Women were almost a unit in
asking that liquor be abolished,
and sincerely believed that with
such a step Utopia would be es-
tablished.
What a mistake that was has
been demonstrated. Multitudes of
them realize now that theory
that sounds fine may not be work.
able. They understand that con-
ditions are becoming unbearable
and that crime is an organized
business that threatens all legiti-
mate industry.
We see, therefore. a new situa-
ton: Women pitted against each
other for principle 1t is a good
indication that we are learning
to use our heads as we'll as our
hearts.
