Bootlegging Blamed

(Copyright. 1925.)
WASHINGTON. Jan. 28.—Deaths
trom- alcoholism- in the United
States are mounting rapidly and fig-
ures Just available at the census
bureau show that the rate of deaths
from this cause in 1923 was larger
than for any yeargsince 1917. The
rate is still lower. ghowever. than in
the pro-prohibition days. but at the
present rate of gain will reach pre-
prohtbitlon figures in another year
or two. ,
Deaths from alcoholism toolE a
terrific tumble in 1920. the first year
of constitutional prohibition. The
bootlegging trade had not then been
organized and‘there was a falling

Schemes of distribution were devis-
ed. Today the system is better or-
ganized than at any time in its ex-
istence and the distribution is wid-
or.
The Death Rate.
The death rate from alcoholism
within the registration area. of 38
males in'lii‘lzi was 15.2 per 100,000 of
population in 1922 it was 2.6; in
1921 it was 1.8: in 1930 it was 1.0—-
the low rate mark for all time
since the causes of death have been
made a matter of national record.
In pre-Volstead days the rate ran
from 4.4 to 5.8. Between 1917 and
1918 there was a drop from 5.2 to
2.7. the drop in this instance being
due not to prohibition but to the
presence of so many of the young
men of the country in the military
service where their means of ob-
taining and drinking liquor were
limited. In 1919. with‘the advent of
war-time prohibition. there n (ur-
thcr drop in the death rate to Lo.
Tho'gain has been steady since
the low water mark of 1920. The
figures for 1024 for the nation will
not be available for another twelve
months. but local records from
hospitals in the larger cities of
the country indicate that the 1924
mark will top that or 1923 in a very
serious maunmz
“'I‘t Regions
In 192 the males showing the
biggest increase in the death rate
from alcoholism included the notor-
iously wet spots of the nation. Conn-
ecticut. New York. New Jersey,
Massachusetts. Pennsylvania, Rhoda
Island and Wisconsin all showed
substantial. or perhaps one might
say reprehensible gains. The chan-
plon wet state or all. however. was
Wyoming. where Mrs. Nellie Ross
has Just been made governor. The
alcoholic death rate jumped in that
state from 3.9 in 1923 to 8.00 in
1928.
New York's increase was from 2.9
to 4.3; Connecticut mounted from
up to 3.9: Illinois from 3.1 to 4.2
Maryland. standing out for home
brew. leaped up from 3.0 deaths
per 100.000 in 1922 to 5.7 in 1923.
Massachusetts mm'ed from 5.9 to
6.6; Minnesota. from 2.6 to 3.2:
Pennsphanla from 2.8 to 4.8 and
