□aims Crime Decreased
By Act of Prohibitum
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—A hopeful
and confident attitude towards the
ulimate success of America’s experi
ment with national prohibition was
the dominant tone of an exhaustive
study of the effects of the present
liquor laws just completed and com
piled by the World League Against
Alcoholism.
The figures quoted by the League
prove that criminal acts in propor
tion to the population of the United
States have actually decreased in
percentage since the Volstead Act
became a law. This decrease in crime
! is estimated to have resulted in a
saving of two hundred million dollars
in the three hundred principal cities
of the land. The figures quoted show
that' in these 300 cities the arrests
for drunkenness have decraesed for
ty-two per cent.
MAN’S MATTED BEARD CATCHES
FIRE BUT SAVES HIS OWN LIFE
WEST MONROE, N. Y., Dec. 2.—
Theodore McGoosh, an onion grower
living on the Gayville road, vowed
when he started painted his farm
buildings that he would not shave un
til the job was finished. Then he
had three weeks’ growth of beard,
matted with much paint. McGoosh
suggested gasoline to soften the
beard and the family flivver gave
its life blood for the purpose. While
waiting for the softening he sat down
and started to light his pipe. There
was an explosion, but the matted
beard saved his life.
