The national capital has not set an example to other cities in ob- servance or enforcement of Pro- hibition. No appreciable change has occurred under the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead Act, ex- cept that the saloon has gone. Open indulgence there, as else where, has given place to private consumption. Wine is served at fashionable dinners, sometimes pre- ceded by the customary cocktail. Liquor is not dispensed at ban quets. but flasks are brought into play, and usually room is set apart. where bar is temporarily maintained for the evening for free drinking. Pre-war cellars, long since exhausted, have given the bootleggers rich field for. their illicit activities and telephones are kept busy calling them by num- Der.

 Drinking is countenanced; drunk enness is not. In this respect, a pronounced change has come out under the new era. A man or woman must drink with discre- ton, or lose caste. Evidence of unsteady limbs or muddled voices at once means cancellation from visiting lists. A boisterous ban queter at the large function open ing the Congressional season is never invited thereafter. A test of a gentleman is that he must carry his load and not get under the table.
 A Senator or Representative no- ticeably under the influence of in- toxicants is marked for retirement Summed by his colleagues, he loses all standing and influence. Three decades ago, the bibulous member was not the subject of such taboo

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-Activi- ties of gangsters in large cities are made possible by the demand for intoxicating liquor and the tre- mendous profits that are realized in supplying it. declared one of the expert sociologists in the twelfth report on law enforcement submitted to President Hoover yes terday by the Wickersham Com mission.
 The report suggested that war be waged on slums, which were char acterized as breeding places of crime
 The report consisted chiefly Of findings and recommendations by half dozen experts that had been employed by the Commission A brief statement by all the Commis- sion members, except one, was in- cluded to the effect that it felt itself unable to discuss the slum and gangster question more in formatively or to make suggestions of more constructive value than the discussions and suggestions con tained in previous reports on li- quor traffic and other criminal ac- tivities.
 The one exception to this atti- tude of the Commission was Col Henry Anderson of Virginia. He wrote his own report, criticisine other members of the Commission for failure to comment on slun and gangster conditions and fol neglect to make recommendations

 Permit Ocean Flight

TOKYO, Aug. 18.-Hugh Hern- don and Clyde Pangborn, American aviators, today paid their fines of $1 OPS each on their conviction by Tokyo judge of having taken from the air pictures of Japanese fortified areas and of carrying a motion picture camera in the air plane over Japanese Qualifications.
 Their plane is still under the lock and key of the Japanese authori- ties, the judge having issued an order forbidding fliers from mak- ing any further flights in Japan.
 Today the United States En- bassy in Tokyo asked in behalf of the aviators that they be per- mitted to fly their plane to Samu- shiro Beach in the northern part of Hondo Island, from which they want to start their proposed flight across the Pacific to the United States.
 The Japanese foreign office re- gards the penalty sentence imposed on the American fliers as severe, particularly that part restricting further flying activities in Japan, and favors granting the request of the American embassy
 The hope is entertained that the Japanese Department of Justice will ameliorate that part of the sentence which prevents the fliers from carrying out their trans-Pa- cific flight plans.
