Drunkenness Decreases

The decline in the number of arrests for drunkenness
in the District despite increase in the population is
cause for congratulation and token of the nation
wisdom in substituting control OF liquor for the Wild
running days of prohibition
THE REPORT OF THE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL. BOARD FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR
SHOWS THAT THERE WAS DECREASE OF AP
FORTUNATELY THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED IN THE
NUMBER ARRESTED FOR INToXICATIoN BELOW
THE NUMBER ARRESTED FOR THAT CAUSE IN
THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
According to the report the percentage of those ar
rested on this charge the total population of the COM
munitv was the lowest since $780, period including
both prohibition and repeal years
Other figures in the report likewise interesting
casting light on the results of repeal
Principal among these the figures dealing with
intoxication in the age group below twentyone years
We quote the report:
ut will be noted that in spite of the enormous
increase in population last year witnessed the
smallest number of arrests for intOrlcGtiOn OF
children since 1924"
This helpful reduction in the number of children and
Youths arrested for intoxcaton brought about by
strong temperance campaign conducted by the board
itself.
Every time person under twenty one was found in
toxcated special study of his made by the
board and he given lectures on the wisdom OF tenn
perance and the evils of drinking.
THIS PROGRAM HAS BROUGHT RESULTS AND
THE BOARD DESERVES HEARTY COMMENTATOR
FOR IT'S EFFORTS.
Revenues brought into the Districts treasury through
operation of the liquor control laws amounted to nearly
two million dollars.
There wouldn't be much satisfaction in this COL
lection if the report contained less satisfactory
portrayal of the social aspects OF CONTROL
AS it is however the financial returns from liquor
licensing will materially aid in balancing the city's
budget.

These questions were sent me
by the econ" class of an Eastern
women's college. 1t is obvious that
the young ladies desire and ex-
pect enthusiastic and affirmative
answers which they won't get.
For, unfortunately, I haven't
spent my So years theorizing on a
campus. To the contrary, I've been
going places and gathering data
which will probably prove most
discouraging to idealists. So don't
blame me, youngsters, if my
answers aren't what you wanted.
You asked for the Truth. Here
it is. Let's hope you can take it.
Do women like politics?
CERTAIN ASPECTS
They say they do. They insist
with screams that Politics is their
Favorite Dish. But I've yet to see
one woman in ten thousand who
enjoys the political game, per Sc,
as men enjoy it, or who know
what it's all about. Or is inter
eSted in learning.
Women like those certain as
poets of politics for which they've
been prepared by generations of
building homes, managing chill
dren and Putting Something Over
on Dad. They like to boss. They
like to scheme. They like to talk
and talk about anything,
everything. or nothing at all. And
they simply dote on dolling up,
dawdling around in dizzy droves.
All of which they would do as
eagerly for any other cause.
But, when it comes to doing this
as a purely political performance,
they rarely, if ever, distinguish
campaigning from any other fat
chewing contest.
Do women develop their new op.

opportunities and use their new free
dom wisely?
No human being, either male or
female, developes new opportuni'
ties as they should be developed
or uses any kind of freedom wisely
So, why pick on the ladies'? They're
certainly making no meaner mess
of affairs than men have done,
nor any greater nuisance of them
selves.
Women's political education will
probably end, as it has ended for
men, in that well-known technique
of Dog Eat Dog. But, even so; ii
that helps them forget they're fe,
males and prepares them to think
and act as Human Beings, it's
something.
Has women's condition improved
since non-Suffrage days?
That depends on what you call
improved" Mama, today. has a
complexion and a career, where
grandma merely had a big family
and an outside waist. But I
haven't heard anyone giggling
much over the change. If you
judge by her beauty bills, nom has
to spend at least 10 times as much
holding her boss as grandma spent
holding her man. Or, maybe, she's
just hoping someone will make a
slave of her again and is getting
ready for the ShackleS,
MORE LIBERTY
Then does - or doesn't -
that mean she's happier?
Search me, kid honestly don't
know. The modern woman has
as far as any mere mortal can
have-moSt of the happiness max
ings.
She's enjoying, generally speak
ing, more liberty and leisure than
any female every enjoyed before.
She has all the privileges of men
and yet has retained most of her
own ancient Prerequisites. If she
doesn't like the deal or the man
she has, she can change them
both. And yet her theme song
still is, as it was a thousand years
ago
"He done me dirt-an' how"
So there's my general obServa-
ton of Women versus Politics.
And what's my private conviction?
That we're a grand sex, plenty
brave, plenty smart and as decent
as humans come. But we've
snapped a fairly soft seat for a
very muddy mess of pottage. And
history has yet to prove whether
we or the world will be better for
the bargain.

He doesn't see any threat at all
against the heavy Democrat ma
jority in the House and he thinks
that instead of losing any seats
his party is liable to pick up a
couple in the election.
He recalls the situation two
years ago when big wigs in the
Democratic camps said they
might lose from so to so seats.
He said Emil Hurja gave him 20
as the figure and he laughed at
him because he thought the so
figure was pretty darn near true.
Instead they picked up II seats.
But this time his stars say
maybe one here and there to be
offset by picking up a couple
there and here.

ferred momentarily to the Maine
election, watched through the
ages with the slogan, Gas Maine

Maine won't have a thing to do
with it. Says he:
cts purely a local situation
there. We might lose a few
and it might have a slight
psychological effect. But not
much. 1 don't put a great
store in political psychology
anyway"

The Soul, Rather Than the Body, May Call

milk, raw vegetables and the like
figured in the story, but subordi-
nate to the above. In short, there
is increasing scientific authority
for the view that the soul rather
than the body may call the count
of mans years.
The amazing story of Ii Ching.
wan, the Chinese sage of the vii.
lage of Man Chew, echoes this
thought. In 1880 there were news.
paper stories that Ii had reached
the age of 253 years. They pro.
voked nothing more than a little
jocular editorial comment. Then
Gen. WI Pei Flu, highly respected
and authoritative in China, wrote
a long article for the American
press in which he said temple
documents and public records alb
solutely established Lis age at
253.
GeneticistS became interested
and started inquiries in China.
They questioned Professor WI
Chung-chieh, dean of the depart
ment of education at the Uni
verslty of Minkuo. Professor WI
produced records, which, if valid,
absolutely established the year of
Lis birth as 1877.
There was an abundance OF
similar documents which the puz.
zled inquirers were unable to assail.
The story remains mistaken, al
though doubtless every real Scien.
fist in the world must say it
couldn't be true.
Ii was lecturer on history and
the humanities in the university.
He said harmony of SOUL was
the only determinant Of age.
Hatred, he insisted, was the one
most terrible enemy of life. Music
he extolled as the mathematical
microcosm of sort of heavenly
geometry" Art, too, was an i'm
perfect earthly portrayal of celes-
tial perfection.
DIETETIC FORMULA. TOO
There could be an approach to
Immortality for one wise enough
and good enough to accept life
humbly, to have faith and learn
from the gods.
But Ii had a dietetic formula
as well. He said that when he
was a lad of So, he was ill and
troubled. Sitting by the roadside,
he nibbled some ginseng roots.
He felt better. He began to live on
ginseng and other herbs. This,
as we'll as the heavenly har-
monies" had added to his days.
His grandchildren are now in
their nineties. In 1880, he was

find great confusion and dis
agreement among scientific au-

We see many references to the
average age increasing, but this is
qualified by the fact that better
care of infants enables persons to
survive. DR.. Raymond Clenden-
ming, brilliant author of "Of the
Human Body" says we are wound
up like a clock, to run certain
time, and nothing we can do will
ever change it.
DR.. Charles Mayo says medical
science and hygiene are lengthen-
ing life anad will increase it in
the future. The Carnegie Founda-
ton finds that school teachers are
apt to be long-lived - Heavens
knows why! DR.. Alexis Carrel in
his book, Man, the Unknown"
gloomily raises the question of
whether it is worth while to
lengthen life unless we make it
worth living.

Mr.. Rockefeller is serene. On

sage of goodwill to mankind"
Lear was a choleric old man. Old
age is apt to be afflicted with self
pity and spleen. But studies OF
men who live to an extraordinary
age reveal, almost unfailingly, Sc
renity of mind, emotional ease
and balance, humor and friendli-
ness. In the age marathon, it is

opposite. He extended his con-
trolls over a large slice of the uni
verse. But it comes to the same
thing.

thriftily as his dollars, in range
of interest and authority in which
he could function. He knew none

SCIENCE INTERESTED
A few years ago scientists dis
covered that Bulgaria had a
greater proportion of centenarians
than any other country. The Bull
garian government made an in
tenSive survey to learn the cause.
One would hastily guess that the
answer would be sour milk, whey
or something like that. That's
way off the mark.
Nearly all the oldsters, some Of
them well past the century mark,
loved to sing. In the open, in the
fields or on the village green, night
or day, they piped up in song, alone
or in concert, intent on volume,
harmony and artistic flouriShes.
Another odd discovery was that
almost all of them live at or above
an altitude of 1900 feet, the first
revelation that high living makes
for long life. Still another sur
prise was the finding that they
slept without covers.
Psychological studies were made
of all the old-timers. These studies
led the scientists to emphasize
mental and emotional rather than
physical traits and habits. A great
majority were definitely persons
with what is loosely called "a sense
of humor." They had few hatreds
or grudges. Most of them had
from five to ten children.
The study boiled down to the
implication that these husky and
happy old folks believed in life,
