Statistics Reveal
. How Germans Feel
About Hard Liquor
1 E.vI.lN, Mar. 6.—The laces of
hard liquor distillers at Halle grow
long when one asks them how busi
ness is. They relate that during
1924 only 1,000,000 hectoliters (over
26.000,000 gallons) of distilled liq
uors were consumed. Before the
war, they say, Germany used to be
good for 4,000,000 hectoliters and
more.
When statistics first began to be
assembled on this question, around
1830, the annual consumption was
about 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 hectoli
ters. From 1900 on the consump
tion was at least three times and us
ually four times what it was in 1924.
It does not necessarily follow from
this that the use of alcoholic drinks
in Germany has declined to one
fourth the pre-war consumption. It
must be remembered that many far
mers, for economic reasons, make
their own liquor. Nevertheless, it
is safe to say that hard liquor is no
longer consumed in as large quanti
ties as before 1914.
Drunken men have become such a
menace and nuisance at some rail
way stations and on trains in Ger
many that railway officials have is
sued a general order to employes to
remove all intoxicated men front rail
road property and deny them the
right to travel until they are sober.
Employes are instructed to tell all
drunkards that they are denied the
right to travel for their own safety,
as well as for the protection of the
public.
Prof. Reimberger, rector of Bonn j
University, made the opening address j
at the conference recently held in I
Bonn by organizations fighting alco- !
hoi. He said that half of Germany’s ,
almshouses and prisons would be su-,
perfluous if it were not for the ;
crimes committed under liquor, and
said he was in favor of treating j
drunkards in special institutions, as j
well as preventing them from get-1
ting liquor.
On the qccasion of the fifth anni-1
versary of American prohibition, the
newspaper Vorwaerts gave a long re- \
view of the statistics concerning the j
temperance movement in the United |
States and said in conclusion: “The
working classes of all countries, and
particularly of poverty-stricken Ger
many, have good reason to support
the anti-alcohol movement and has
ten the coming of a prohibition law.”
A dispatch received here from Vi
enna says that local restaurants and
bars will be closed to habitual
drunkards, if a bill now pending in
the Austrian diet is enacted. The
measure stipulates that two convic
tions for drunkenness will bar tip
plers from all places where drinks
are sold for a period of one year.
It will be against the law for any
one to sell alcohol to such persons,
a list of whom will be posted at
the entrance to every establishment
which sells liquor.

GRABS ROPE IN MIDAIR
AFTER FALL FROM WINDOW
LAWTON, Okla., Mar. 6.—B. F.
Moore, a carpenter working on the
new hospital building at Fort Sill,
Okla., qualified as a movie stunt per
former. While he was working on
the second story of the building he
lost his balance and fell backward
out of a window. As he fell he
grasped at a rope which ran thru
a pulley at the top of the building.
The other end of the rope struck
him in the face as he descended. He j
was also sucessful in grabbing the
loose rope, retarding his rapid des-'
cent, stopping just as his feet reach
ed the ground. Aside from minor in
juries to his face he was unhurt.
The poor have one advantage. Gov- j
ernments don’t lie awake think- j
ing up ways to soak them.
