NEW YORK, Dec. 81 G.N.SJ,
In which direction does the finger
point after two weeks of prohibi'
ton repeal?
A survey of the nation con-
Quoted today by international
News Service indicated in general:
That crime has not increased,
despite the release from the
illicit liquor industry Of an
underworld personnel estimated
in six figures.
That there have been less
arrests for intoXication than
previous to repeal.
That the number of alcoholic
patients in hospitals has de-
creased in most repeal cities.
That public officials are opt1-
mistic about the effect of repeal
on social habits.
Boston Shows Increase
However, reports from Boston,
q wet center, and Columbus ana
Cleveland, still under State pro
hibition, showed an increase in
intoxication arrests. And in
Kansas City, under State proh1bl-
ton. and San Francisco the num-
ber of alcoholic hospital cases IN
crease in the past two weeks.
All points interrogated revealed
no increase in crime.
The record Gf figures don't pre-
varicate):
In New York City. arrests for
disorderly conduct while lntoXl-
Gated totaled 20 the week before
repeal and only 26 the week after
ward. Arrests for operating a We
hicle while intoxicated were % a
week before repeal and only IL
the week after repeal.
Deaths Fall Off
In Chicago, from December /
to IS repeal being effective De-
cember 81, 2,7O5 persons were
charged with disorderly conduct,
compared with 2,760 persons ar
rested on the same charge in the
corresponding period of 1882.
DR.. Carl Meyer, chief of staff OF
the Cook County Hospital, re-
ported only six deaths from alco-
holism during the first Is days of
December, 1888, compared with 26
alcoholic deaths in the came pc
riod last year.
In st. Louis, during the two
weeks since national prohibition
repeal, there were 100 less arrests

that Makes
A HEARTY
BREAKFAST
POSSIBLE

MANY people are underfed-
w and therefore nervous and
irritable-because they have
no appetite for breakfast. There's
one sure way to stimulate the
appetite-and that's with the sur
prising new taste of King Syrup
the blended taste that makes
the palate beg for more.
Have pancakes or waffles tomor-
row and use King Syrup literally.
King Syrup is a source of quick
energy, in itself. and it will make
you relish a really substantial
morning meal. King Syrup is
carried by all the better grocery
stores in Washington and vicinity.

Ambulance Chasers'

The ambulance chaser has been
with us for a long time, and efforts
to rid the legal profession of his
presence have never been entirely
successful. However, a note of hope
is to be found in recent warning
from the Minnesota supreme court
that lawyers found guilty Of ambu-
lance chasing hereafter will be sub
ject to disbarment.
The court issued this warning after
hearing the case Of a Minneapolis
lawyer accused OF maintaining an
aggressive organization for procuring
personal injury actions Sometimes
this man even made contact with
victims through relatives while the
victims were still unconscious.
The ambulance chaser blights So
ciety in several ways. He clogs the
courts with needless lawsuits, he
harasses people who are not at fault
and he brings his whole profession
into disrepute. 1t is to be hoped that
other courts besides those of Min
nesota will see their way clear to
hamper his operations.

Spirit of the Navy

Whatever may be said about the
dirigibles used by the United States
navy, there doesn't seem to be any
thing in particular wrong with the
young men who make up their crews.
Moody E. Erwin, one of the Akron's
three survivors, went to his home In
Memphis, Tenn, for months fur
Tough not long ago. Reporters, nat
urally enough, asked him lot of
questions about his experience;
among other things they asked him
If he had been scared by the crash.
"Scared?" he replied. Were you
ever in an auto crash? Did you have
time to get scared? Did it get my
nerve? Say, man, that's what the
navy's for. It takes nerves out of
you"
And SO, in line with this talk, the
young sailor has already applied for
assignment to the crew Of the new
Macon.
If that sort of spirit is general, the
navy may yet make a go Of its big
dirigibles.

Answer A trace of albumen Is like
ly to appear shortly after any. siren
uous exertion such as q race, a foot
ball or tennis game, a long swim or
any vigorous muscular work. This is
a normal occurrence. In any case,
the character of the food has nothing
to do with the fact that albumen is
present in the urine. Don't be soph-
omoronic about that.

While Billy clambered over the

clutching his kite, Mary Lou
looked over the water and
dreamed.
She was always dreaming. She
was round and delectable, pretty
and vital. She had red-gold hair
and eyes as blue as the water
flowing past the sea wall. She had
a pert nose and a sweet, gallant,
red mouth and the most charming
hands and feet in the world. Also,
she was slender where slenderness
is demanded and curved where
curves are necessary for beauty.

Larry Mitchell, 26, very inquir-

plucked Billy from the back Of q
bench and set him down, tweaked
Mary Louis beret completely over
that bright eye and sat himself
beside her.
"What, no greetings?" he in
quired.

Mary Lou severely, but her eyes
danced. She was very glad 70 see
