CRIME SINCE
CHURCH COUNCIL REPORTS
But Conclusion Is N of That Dry Act Is Cause
But Statement Is Made That Prohibition
Has Not Aided in
Law,
WASHINGTON. Sept. iii—(AP)
An exhaustive discussion of the ef-
fect of prohibition on crime. condiv
tions in settlement neighborhoods,
drug addiction. the morals of the
young. and respect for law in gen—
eral was made public lust night by
the Research and Education depart-
ment of the Federal Council of
Churches as a third section of its
special report on the social conse-
quences of l'ruhibition laws.
While pointing out that a lack of
complete data makes definite con-
cluslons Impossible.“ the report made
these assertions
The tendency of young people of
the present day to depart from con-
ventional rules of behavipr cannot
be laid entirely at the door of pro-
hibition but "the fact that prohibi-
tion has made no more decisive ef-
fect tn heightening their moral tone
gives food for earnest though."
Crime statistics indicate a rapid
increase in violations of law. chiefly
of the misdemeanor class .but it is
”gratuitous" to blame prohibition.
am "all that can be asserted is that
prohibition has thus far not pre-
vented an increase in such offenses."
Available‘ information indicates
that in settlement neighborhoods
there is less drinking and family
life has improved under prohibition
but that the law nevertheless is
widely violated and "the bootlegger
is getting rich."
Assertions that prohibition has
_ tended to increase the use of drugs
lack definite proof and would ap-
pear to be untrue.
“The general impression that re-
spect for law is declining leads
many ardent supporters of prohibi-
tion to believe that its fees are un-
dermining all citizenship. while vibe
latter assert very positively that
prohibition has destroyed respect
for all law. Fortunately. neither
contention is fully supported by
facts. The best authorities in psy-
chology and education agree that a
person's attitude toward law and
government is not determined with
reference to a. single statute. and
that hostility toward one law does
not carry over into the whole field
of the citizen's responsibility. The
attitude of people toward their gov-
ernment. although it often gives
cause for concern. rests upon a
broader basis than the popularity of
a. single law. Every one takes some
laws more seriously than others.
and necessarily so. All laws have
not the same importance and some
have greater social sanction than

White House Cook
Finds Sweetheart
WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.—
(AP) Margaret Carr, one of the
White House cooks. gave notice
yesterday that she is going back
to Swampscott to get married.
While at White Court durlns
the summer Miss Carr. who
came to the United States from
Ireland two years ago. met
Jerry Shea. chauffeur for Frank
W. Stesrns. close friend of the
President. who had a. summer
home adjoining the summer
White House. To her friends
she confided yesterday that she
is returning to Swampscott to
become Mrs. Jerry Shea.

others. For this reason it would
seem to be a. mistake to rest the ap-
peal for observance of prohibition
laws merely upon the general duty
to ‘obey the law.’ Rather. an atti-
tude of intelligent sympathy toward
the law itself must be built up if it
is to be generally observed.
“Reports of school administration
ofliclals and of teachers who have
made extensive studies of moral
problems in the schools give little
support to the theory that prohibi-
tion is in itself a. cause of moral
breakdown." it continued. “it may
perhaps Just as truly be said that
it does not appear to be a. great as-
set. Certainly, the non—observance
oi‘ the law by parents has a. rather
tragic effect on boys and girls.
“In the colleges. undoubtedly,
some alarming conditions have de-
veloped. Even in a conservative de-
nominational college. a student has
been known to earn his way
through school by oootlegglng. The
evidence. however. seems to indi-
cate a. favorable trend at the pres-
ent time :at least this is the opinion
of nearly all the college deans con~
suited. and it receives some measure
of support from other sources."

MILK SCHEME
WASHINGTON. Sept 16.-Dis-
tressed dairy cows can dry their
eyes.
The bewildered bovines need have
no fear that. Henry Ford'- mechani-
cal milk will turn them into beef—
steaks.
The country's leading agricultural
and health autoritlcs give this as-
surance.
They add that as a pinch-hitter
for a. collection of cattle. Ford is
a first-class fltvver fancier. ‘
Ford's idea is to abolish dairy
cows in favor of synthetic milk fac-
torles.
He is irritated by'the animals’ in-
efficiency.
“Thoy are the most inefficient
crbaturcs in the world." he declared.
"Farmers waste most of their
time'taklng care of them. and to
what purpose?
"Synthetic milk can be produced
both richer and cheaper than the
milk we are getting new.
"And I don't believe much in
milk. anyway."
But his idea has fallen on barren
ground so far as the government's
experts on the subject—E. 0. Whit-
tier and A. Leighton. chemists of
the Department of Agriculture‘s
bureau of dairyiing—are concerned.
They agree that synthetic milk
can be made. but add that it can in
no way equal the real article.
They point out that it would be
extremely difficult to duplicate all
the ingredients of cow's milk by
any manufacturing process. and
that. so far as is known. it is im-
possible to make milk sugar. one
of the most important elements.
“In Germany. during the war.
they made synthetic milk from soy
beans: “Whittier says. "it was yel-
lowish in color and sweetish in taste
Its richness depended upon the pro-
portion of water used to thin it out.
“This fluid served well enough in
an emergency. but it was certainly
not as good as cow's milk. Its food
value was 25 per cent lower.
"But what I can't understand is
why. if Ford doesn't believe in milk.
is he so anxious to have it manu-
factored?"

RUSKIN'S HOME TO BE SOLD.
LONDON. Sept. 16. (AP-)—-—John
Ruskin's home. "Brantwood House."
Coniston. Lancashire. where the poet
lived for 25 years and died in 1900.

gift. Ruskin made over his house
and contents to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Severn. "praying tlmn never to sell
the estate of Brantwaod. nor to let
any portion of it upon builidng
lease." He also requested that they
"accord during 30 consecutive days
in each year such permission to
strangers to see the house and pic-
tures as I have done in my lifetime."
Exigeneles of fortune are believed
to be the reason for the sale.
