Remarkable Improvement"

Remarkable Improvement"
The report of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
on the first five months of its operation is source of
satisfaction to those who urged that sane and sensible
liquor control law for the District be adopted upon the
repeal of the Eighteenth amendment.
The social and economic effects of the local control
law judged by the board it's five months expert
ence, show vast improvement conditions which
existed in the National Capital prior to its adoption
The data gathered by the board the number of per-
given employment in establishments handling the
legal beverage and the number of stores which have
been rented the result of legang these beverages

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT THE FIRST YEAR
OF OPERATION WILL SEE MORE THAN TWO
THOUSAND PERSONS EMPLOYED AT AN ANNUAL
SALARY OF MORE THAN THREE MILLION DOL
LARS. MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED STORES
WILL BE RENTED AT AN ANNUAL RENTAL OF
HALF MILLION DOLLARS.
On the social side the board is able to show decrease
In the number of arrests for ntoxcaton under control
It is also able to blast with convincing figures the
claim that repeal would increase traffic hazards It's
figures show impressive decline in the number of
traffic accidents under beverage control

 We would crown one Lloyd Bay CTS with the titles of best individ- ual scorer in the first half of the 1934-35 City Basketball League" just concluded.
 Said MT. Bayers, who cavorts at center for the DeMolays, has piled up the rather astounding to- tai of 122 points in six games, an average, it may be quickly seen. of some 203 points per game. Rather nifty.
 At MT. Bayers' heels, as it were, is one Bob McPhee, whose efforts on the maple floor are devoted to the first half champion George Brothers quintet. Bob came through with 92 markers, a 153 point av- craze.
 Tn the third position, nosing out Paul Brown, Krause Concreter, is Claude Erskine, another George ace, who steamed by Brown in the final game. Erskine has 83 points, Brown 32.
 An interesting item is the fact that Bayers, the leading scorer, also is the cleanest player of the ten leading player, having made but seven fouls in six games.

oy VIC hooUCldVcu EICsS,
MANILA, p. T., April 30.-Filipinos
were cautioned that independence
does not go hand in hand with happi-
ness and prosperity as the InSular
Legislature was convened in special
session today to take the first step to-
ward setting up a Philippine nation.
Addressing the joint session of the
Legislature, which plans to accept the
Tdyings- independence act
tomorrow, Gov. Gen. Frank Murphy
warned the lawmakers many difficult
problems lay ahead of them.
He urged the selection Of consti-
tutional assembly, which will set up
the commonwealth government to
bridge the decade before full inde-
pendence, "that will be truly repre-
sentative Of all of the people,,
The American promise of independ-
ence, the Governor General said, "has
now been consummated in a manner
probably with a peacetime precedent
in the colonial policies of great ma
tions."
Senate President Manuel Quezon,
colorful leading political figure of the
Islands, told an outdoor throng which
welcomed him back from Washing
ton, D. c., where he saw Congress
adopt the independence law last
month:

and independence always carry with
them happiness and prosperity. Let's

Dry Head Charges.
A personal and official challenge to

A personal and official challenge to
"the champions of and apologists for
the relegalized liquor traffic" issued
today by Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith,
president of the National Women's
Christian Temperance Union, charges
that the saloon has been brought back
ir more dangerous guise; that gam
bling has taken new lease on life,
along with commercial vice and politi-
cal graft, and that automobile acci-
dents have increased as a result of
liquors return.
THE first 100 days since repeal are
passed and we are faced with the
amazing situation of a relegalized
liquor traffic once more in full con-
troll of the Nations politics, so far as
its own interests are concerned" Mrs.
Smith said, "and with the incredible
paradox of a complete disappearance
Of all those supposedly lusty and once
tremendously energetic groups through
whose united efforts and propaganda
the eighteenth amendment was de-
feated and nullified by the twenty first
amendment.
Although as organizations these
supporters of the wet program have
vanished from the scene, it cannot be
that all of the otherwise intelligent
and aggressive leaders of the A. A.
p. A, the Crusaders, the Women's Or
ganization for National Prohibition
Reform have likewise retired from in
dividual participation on behalf of
their principles, and for that reason
we believe the startling results of re-
peal to date are a challenge which
they can hardly afford to ignore.
Throughout the year 1888 these
wet advocates caught the fancy and
won the hearts of many millions of
American voters by asserting that as
soon as repeal was secured O law
lessness would cease, (2) drunkenness
decrease, 90 crime lose its glamour,
a. liquor revenue balance the budget,
(5) the saloon be abolished, CO. the
liquor traffic would take its place as
sound, legitimate industry, no longer
in politics or allied with corruption.
In the light of facts piling up in
every section Of the country, which
show that repeal results directly con-
tradict every claim made by the vets,
we challenge these supporters OF the
so-called liquor control to show why
1t is that repeal has brought back the
saloon in more dangerous guise; why
it has already established a politically
powerful liquor trade throughout the
Nation; why it has given new lease of
life to gambling, commercialjzed vice
and political graft; why it has multi
piled automobile accidents and deaths
and, while diverting millions to bev-
erage alcohol from the manufacture of
necessities and wholesome luxuries, has
yet failed miserably as the promised
means of balancing the budget Of the
Federal Government"
