Today there are but four commonwealths refusing to legalize liquor. Fundamentally, the Eighteenth amendment was repealed because (1) bootlegging had developed into a horrifying crime menace, and (2) since people appeared determined to drink, it seemed feasible to legalize liquor and put men back to work, also adding materially to tax revenue. Bootleggers Still Busy. If repeal has succeeded in the latter respect by netting federal, state and local coffers several billion dollars, it has not wiped out bootlegging. Else "revenooers" in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida would not be wrecking some 350 stills each month, nor would 56 men have been indicted in New York last December 21 on a charge of defrauding the government of in liquor taxes. If anything, legalized liquor has minimized the difficulties of engaging in illicit liquor trade, despite everything state and federal agents can do. But bootlegged liquor is cheap liquor, and this year aged whisky stocks were so increased that prices could be lowered. If men must have alcohol, they can now get it from legitimate dealers for about the same price a bootlegger charges. Distillers are not completely blind to the evils of repeal; in fact many of them boast a "social responsibility" for urging temperance. Too often the guilt lies with local law enforcement officers and the tavern keepers. At Chicago a group of educators surveyed 3,028 taverns and found one or more laws being violated in 2,122 of them. Most were improperly lighted, many sold liquor to intoxicated persons or minors, others remained open after closing hours. Psychologists point out that under strict law enforcement our per capita liquor consumption will show a steady decline through the years as men and women learn how to 00 leveling off is a turning point, but after five years of repeal John Barleycorn is still giving America a headache and too manv hanp- o overs.

Today public complacency aoout woiren drinks; openly at bars is making the problem of the female inebriate a tragically serious one." The Keeley institute treated more patients of all classes in 1936 and 1937 than at any time in the previous years. But Mr. Nelson does not place all responsibility for this condition on the open saloon or the ease with which liquor may be bought at retail stores. "We feel," he reports, "that the country's improved financial condition is also responsible. Our experience over nearly 60 years, including four major depressions and recoveries, has shown that in time of prosperity the number of patients increases. During depressions it declines." Drys Are Still Strong. This would indicate the problem is getting worse, despite a leveling off in liquor consumption this year. With business definitely on the upswing, taverns and retail stores are destined for greater patronage. But this increase will come in metropolitan centers, not in the small towns. It is significant that the United States can still boast a strong dry faction whose grass roots are in rural areas, with SDecial emnha- sis on the Midwest and South. Temperance forces have grown stronger since repeal. In that year state referendums showed 30 per cent of us were dry. A 1936 private survey raised this figure to 33 per cent and last spring it stood at 34.

A lot of us didn't drink our share, but somebody drank it for us, which accounts for the growing alcoholism problem now facing the nation. On one side of the repeal picture is the scene of men brought back to work in a thousand industries inspired by the consumption of liquor. This scene also shows an annual income for the United States treasury of some $600,000,000 a year from liquor taxes, approximately as much as the entire nation pays in personal income levies. -- J Sewing Book No. 2, GJts ties and Embroidery tr manv laeas in it ti.al . money makers.
