Beers First Two Weeks
More Money, Less Drunkenness,
Some Racketeering

The first two weeks legal have completely justified
the hopes of the 'wets and completely wiped the
predictions of the "drys."
It poured several million dollars into Federal State and
municipal treasures
It put hundreds of thousands of men to work.
And most important Of all, it led to DECREASE in
drunkenness instead Of increase
Figures from all States which permit the sale of the 80
beverage uniformly favorable.
In city which has reported have drunk
enness gone up.
In most, the arrests have gone down.
AS additional States legaze beer this improvement in the
crime figures will continue.
There will also be increased employment and increased
revenue but the march toward law and order is the best
for authorizing beer in those parts the country
which have not yet authorized it,
There is evidence however that the illegal brewers
beer and the other rackers connected with the old
traffic will not give up without struggle
In New Jersey the other day the killing of two obsters
showed that the underworld share of the
business still goes on.
There will be killings here and elsewhere for the
same reason.
Hence is incumbent upon the Federal Government aided
by State and local authorities to make genuine relentless
and effective cleanup Of the gangs which are seeking
"muscein'' the legalized field. .'...-.
Unless that done the chief benefits we are reapng from
the change the Vstead act will be lost and the abuses

Relief Funds
Are They Adequate?

It to be hoped that the belief expressed by the District
Commissioners that funds will be available ito meet all
absolutely necessary demands for relief not overly op
timistc
Officials the Community Chest and of member agencies
of the chest have announced that their relief work will be
less Of complete standstl by the end Of the
due to lack Of funds.
The withdrawal of these agencies from relief work will
place tremendous burden the Emergency Relief Bu
of the Board of Public Welfare.
That bureau already is swamped with demands for assist

to keep body and soul together.
Hundreds unable to obtain any sort Of assistance from it.
The chest organizations if their funds become exhausted
their officials fear will be unable to assist further in the
work Charitable agencies which independent Of the
chest also in bad financial condition and the work Of
of these faces curtaiment.
To offset this decrease in private activity the city will
have during the next fiscal year, the appropriation of $780,
O00he the present appropriation with
funds available under the Federal relief BILL
The Commissioners expect that the terms under which the
81 900 will be made available will be somewhat iberazed
in order to enable them to meet urgent demands
If by any chance these funds not likely to meet the
situation developes the Commissioners should say
at once.
The fact that they do not state would indicate their
complete faith in their ability to ward off hunger and suf
fering for the needy with what money they have
prospect.

On the Retirement Proposal

The havoc which would be wrought by the adoption of
the thtyyear compulsory retirement proposal originally

compilation of District officers who would be retired
Nearly fifty department heads and their principal assistants

These fifty include the most valuable servants the city

Wise Words

None so deaf as those that
will not hear.
They that die by famine die
by inches. 49,.
None so blind as those that
will not see.
After a storm comes a calm.
CenSure is the tax a man
pays to the public for being
eminent.
Words are but empty thanks.
To. bear is to conquer our
fate.
My son, if sinners entice thee,
consent thou not.
Fools make a mock at sin.
Where there is no vision, the
people perish. .,.
Each good1y thing is hardest
to begin.
So free we seem, so fettered
fast we are!
Rules and models destroy

Men often proceed from love
to ambition, but they seldom re-

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

pressed even though prosperity
has at last come around the
corner.
Once upon a time, before
everything went blooey, we had
our Pet Particular Scheme Of
Things. Some of us were born
in it. Some Of us had achieved
it after years Of struggle. Be
that as it may, there we were
settled at last, sitting pretty
with our good jobs, our favor
ite friends, our nice little
houses, our classy little cars.
Oh, those dear, dead days
how wonderful they were! No
bitter hardships to be faced.
No more upsetting adjustments
to be made. That was the life!
How we loved it! How safe and
snug we felt-and how soft and
SNUG we grew!
Then came the smash.
Away went the "best laid
schemes O. mice and men,"
Down came Humpty Dumpty
in a very great fall.
And now, even though happy
days may have come again
which still remains to be seem
not all the kings horses nor
all the kings men can ever put
our particular Humpty Dumpty
together again. For those days
are done forever.
Other days may come, bring
ing new jobs, new joys, new
friends, new homes, but that
particular Scheme Of Things
into. which we had settled so
softly and safely-that'S gone
for keeps, with our baby teeth
and our first sweethearts, and
no power on earth can bring
it back again.
So then, what?
So then, q lot of us are going
to spend the rest of our lives
blubbering and bewailing around
like the lazy, cowardly cry
babies which we are. For if we
can't put together our dear
old Hunpty Dumpty world
then we don't want any world
at all!
Don't be like that!
Go on, child, even if you
can't put the pieces together
again!
I know-it hurts. Something
sweet and young has been lost
from life-a laughing eager
ness, a proud confidence. Per-
haps you've had to take a
harder rap than even that
watched love turn to hate; seen
the grave close over all you
hold dear.
But go on! That's life and
YOU'RE BIG ENOUGH TO
TAKE IT!
You've lost some of the
pieces, yes! But there are
plenty left, and plenty Of new
ones lying ready at your
hand. So, go on! Get busy!
You built a world for yourself
once. You can do it again!
Then wipe the old chin, child
and GET GOING!
