ALCOHOL TAKES
GREATER TOLL
IN CITY HOMES
Percentage Also Is Higher
Among Foreign-Born
Residents.
BIZ Science sereice

~ Science Service
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. lin
more than two-thirds Of the states,
the degree of prevalence Of alcoholic
mental disease is proportionate to
the percentages of foreign born per-
sons and of city dwellers in those
states, Frederick w. Brown, director
of the department of information
and statistics Of the National Com
mittee for Mental Hygiene, found
as the result of a survey, made
public here today by the American
Academy of Political and Social
Science.
Furthermore, Brown found that
the present general tendency in the
prevalence of alcoholic mental dis
ease in the several states is in ac-
cord with the trend of public opin-
ion in those states with regard to
restriction of the sale and use of
alcoholic beverages as revealed by
state legislation existing at the time
of the enactment of the federal pro-
hibition laws"
For example, Brown found in his
survey that in Alabama, where only
06 per cent of the population is
foreign-born and only 28.1 per cent
of the total population lives in cities,
the average number of admissions
to state hospitals for mental dis
ease for 1923, 1929 and 1880 was only
0.3 per 100000 general population.
But in Massachusetts, where
little more than fourth of the
population is foreign-born and
nearly all the people, more than 90
out Of every 100 persons, live in
cities, the rate of admissions Of
cases of alcoholic mental disease to
state hospitals was 81 per 100000
general population.
Of the twenty-five states in which
the amount of alcoholic mental dis
eases, measured by hospital admis-
sions, and the percentage Of foreign
born and city-dWellers we're below
the average for the United States as
a whole, seven were bone dry at the
time federal prohibition laws went
into effect.
These were Colorado, Georgia,
Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Utah. Thirteen of these
twenty-five states had statewide
restrictions, and five were wet.
J Of the eight states in which the
hospital admissions for alcoholic
mental disease, the percentage of
foreign-born and the ity-dwellers
were above the average for the
country as whole, seven we're wet
and the other had statewide re-
Strictions.

Basis of Holbrook's
AspersiOn Questioned
20 the Editor of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
Would it be asking too much of A. j
Holbrook, whose letter appeared in Tbs
Evening Star Of Friday, April %, 1882
to inquire what he does for Hvinr
and by what authority and on whose
time he has made all of his observa-
tions on the activities of the ciericaI
force of the United States Government?
Just how many departments has he
visited and how many days has ne
spent there? We hope that A. j. Hol-
brook will not think this inquiry toe
impertinent, but when any one is sc
sure of himself as this person it seems
feasible to ask him to Substantiate his
statements.
In the department in which I am
employed as a stenographer we are
working eight hours per day, and have
been since January /, 1929. When
say work I mean work, too. There are
several of us in that department who
have been holding down two jobs for
over a year. the incumbent having re-
signed or been transferred to another
department and the economy budget
not covering money to give announcer
man a Job.
And as for money: Does this person
know of any average Government clerk
who has two or three bank accounts,
a half dozen houses, maids, chauffeurs,
etc? The average man in the Gov
ernment service juggles his money to
pay his bills, clothes his children de-
Gently. pays his taxes, supports his
church and is a law-abiding citizen.
Look around, Mr.. Holbrook, before
giving further vent to your feelings
and please be sure, also. That you give
sam or private corporation, his
moneys worth of your time.

What Do Inspectors Inspect |?

The District of Columbia, with other
municipalities, is equipped with a force
/ OF salaried plumbing inspectors, building
inspectors and inspectors of this and
inspectors of that. Not so long ago the
collapse of certain incompleted work on
/ public buildings raised the question Of
what building inspectors were supposed
to inspect. A similar question in regard
to plumbing inspectors is now raised by
deaths from carbon monoxide gas
poisoning, the deaths attributed to al
legedly improperly connected gas fittings.
Inquiry reveals that plumbing inspec-
tors inspected the installation but the
inspectors felt that they had right
to assume" that the pipes from the hot
water heaters were properly hooked up
and they felt they were powerless to tear
down the work of the plumbers to find
out if their assumptions were correct.
This is an important revelation. Is
building, plumbing and other inspection
in the District carried out on the basis
of assumption? OF course, plumbing
inspectors have no legal or moral right
to go into a completed structure and
proceed to tear it apart to find out
whether everything has been properly
done The time to make the inspection
is while the work is in progress But
II inspection Is to be carried out on the
principle of assuming that everything is
proper, worth while suggestion has
been conveyed to the House Economy
Committee. In place of all the in
spectors, the municipality should have
one master inspector. For eight hours
day, with doors and windows of his
Office carefully guarded against inter-
ruption, this master inspector should
equip himself with book by the late
Emile Coue and a set of plans for all
work going forward in the District and
do some concentrated assuming that
everything is lovely.
That would save money. And it would
certainly work as we'll as the present
system.

Political Plagiarism .

The other day some embarrassment
was caused to Gov. Roosevelt of New
York by the publication of the deadly
parallel showing that in his st. Paul
speech on the 18th of April he used
IN a reference to the tariff law the
Identical words with which former
Gov. Smith scored that measure in
his speech in this city five days earlier.
The parallel was perfect save that in
one phrase Gov. Roosevelt used three
or four words that did not appear in
the Smith version. Obviously, either
somebody in the Roosevelt establish
nent had unwisely borrowed from Mr.
Smiths speech in preparing the Gov
ernor's st. Paul address, or else both
Mr.. Smith and the Governor had gone
to the same source for their rhetoric
1t now develops that the latter was
the case. Explanation is made that the
original material was a statement on
the tariff written by Lindsay Rogers
professor of public law at Columbia
University, copies of which were oblig-
ingly sent to both the Roosevelt and
Smith headquarters, Prof Rogers ap-
parently being disposed to play no ia
vorites in the distribution Of his essay.
1t Is explained, however, that Prof.
Rogers really meant the matter to be
used by Gov. Roosevelt in his first
radio speech of April 7, that which
later evoked from Mr.. Smith the
charge of demagoguism. The Governor
did not use it then, but somebody blum
dered at Albany in not checking and
double-checking on the Smith Wash
ington speech to see if it contained any
common property material.
This is not a vitality important mat
ter. 1t Is well known that few public
men prepare their own speeches Their
ghost writer's" get their materials from
all sorts of places. Maybe they, In turn.

commits him. He did give an illustra-

IL Is strong start and any critics who
feel Ike calling it demagoguery' will

lief which is original. which is better
or more effective than is being done
elsewhere? What plans has he pro-
duced, what actions has he inspired,
to make his State an outstanding ex-
ample of better government? What. in
his speeches, does he suggest Washing
ton do to relieve conditions that it has
not attempted? Nothing at ALL"

Roosevelt evaded the challenge of Gov.

Two Impressions of the
Senate Wall Street Probe

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the columns Of the editorial page
of The Star reference was made on
April 21 to the very apparent inability
of the Wall Street Senatorial Committee
to uncover anything of real benefit to
the people. Either this particular in
ouisitorial body, with its special counsel
in the person OF a philadelphia law
YER" is woefully weak in its possession
or rather lack of possession-of the
requisite stock market knowledge to
successfully carry on such an important
investigation, or the picture as painted
by Mr.. Whitney and Mr.. Brush is a
correct one, and the American people
have been led to believe falsely that
Wall street has exercised an evil influ-
ence over our economic structure.
I am Of the opinion that the former
Is nearer correct. was among the
spectators at the committee meeting
and two things stood out prominently
in my mind after the meeting. One
was the picture Of these august sena-
torial representatives Of the sovereign
states of America, grouped together, in
the fashion Of school children, listening
to lecture from a learned professor, of
whom they appeared deathly afraid. 1t
is generally accepted as wise procedure
to keep quiet If YOU do not understand
a subject under discussion, but if this
was the trouble with the committee
why, then, did they call the Wall Street
gentlemen? Regardless of the reason,
it is certainly fact that no commit
tee of late years has appeared so asinine
and ridiculous and so helpless as this
Wall Street committee.
To thoughtful people, however, I be-
lieve it will show that this sort of thing
takes place only too often in our Con-
gress. We are harangued with all sorts
of political oratory, from one years end
to another, on generalities, but when
these legislators get down to specific
cases and are forced to deal with details
they prove themselves, only too often,
inadequately equipped to handle the
situation: Much of our happiness rests
in their hands. It seems 20 me that all
we can do Is Just hope and pray" that
they muddle through all right.
The second impression that I carried
away from the committee meeting was
the distinct outline Of wings xzn sure
I saw sprouttng from Mr.. Whitney's
shoulders. Perhaps 1t was the sunlight
in the room, but whatever it was, there
were the wings and just a faint outline
OF halo at the top of his head. Dur
ing some of his testimony-if that is
what 1t Is called-it wouldn't have sur
prised me If the committee members
had burst into tears of shame for hav-
ing connected this kindly, open-spoken,
confidential and helpful gentleman with
any evils peculiar to Wall Street.
JOHN THORNTON,
