Aimee—the Actress
Quiet grips the 6.000. Then the

The organ and the throatcd thou-

loping singing of "Throw Out the
Lifeline." as the boat rocks perilous-
ly on the screen. and drenched wo-
men and children ride the breech-
es-buoy.
The lights of the great temple are
out. Only a blinding white light up-
on the woman on the stage. her

and boat and breaches-buoy. _
Her voice is the roar of thunder
and the sweetness of woman. Her
head is quecniy. Her body grace-
ful. They“ tell how Aimee once
weighed 200 and “prayed it off"
along with diet and cpsom salt
baths because "I cannot hold my
people without grace."
Swaying the Crowd
A landslide quivers over the
mighty house. The woman on the
platform has quietly said-
“Now if there are any of you. who
want to come to this Savolr. come
here to me. Or I will come for you,
if you will raise your hand."
Old men and women. tear-cheek-

little bewildered children move to-
ward her like moths to the candle.
Sometimes. hysterical, they cling
to her body, wetting her hands. her
dress. with their tears. They will
not be pulled away.
Aimee Semple McPherson draws
the biggest houses in a place like
Los Angeles. where the gilded
halls of pleasure and the tinkling
bells of gaiety compete with church
chimes and hymns.
Perhaps it is because she gives
them drama—colorful. "pulling”
drama couched in the tongue of the
common man and woman.
Trying to Analyse Her
The woman evangelist is de-
‘ nounccd by some as a hypnotist.

Year Survey Shows
Moderation Leag‘tie’s Figures Reveal Volstead Act
Has Not Increased Country’s Sobriety To De-
gree Expected By Many.
NEW YORK. (A.P.)-—Drunken-
rises in the United States last year
increased almost twice as fast as it
did in 1926 and now has reached
its pro-prohibition level, the Moder-
ation League. Inc.. reports. announc-
ing the findings of a nation-wide
survey of conditions in more than
1.500 cities.
Reaching the conclusion that "the
Volstead Act has failed utterly to
promote temperance and sobriety."
the report expresses the belief that
“a greater degree of temperance
would be attained by a wis/s restric-
tive law."
The survey was the second con-
ducted by the League. a similar
finding as to the effectiveness of on-
forcement under the Volstead Act
having been announced last year.
The league is an organisation
composed of men fl-om all ranks of
life and is incorporated under the
laws of the state of New York with
its announced object the “Restora-
tion of Temperance."
Official Records Used.
The league bases its findings on
reports obtained from police depart-
ment records of intoxication arrests
which in 884 cases extended back
twelve years.
When on the basis or these rec—
ords. the report states. “we consider
that drunkenness generally has al-
ready increased to the premrohibi-
tion level. and that drunken drivers
and drunken children have increased
far above anything ever known be-
fore in this country. we cannot cs-
capo the conclusion that the Act has
failed utterly to do what it was in-
tended to do. namely. promote tem-
perance and sobriety."
“Moreover. since conditions have
become worse. not better. each year.
and with the 'next generation’
drinking as never before. there
seems to be no hope that the.Voi-
stead Act. in its present drastic
form. can ever accomplish its pur-
pose.
During 1914 and 1'” ‘ 'w- the
was boom got under way. drunken-
ness remained practically station-
ary. th't‘. report states. .
"During 1916 and 1917. war
boom years. there was a percep-
lble incr‘ase. following the known
rule that. other things being equal.
drunkenness increases with good
times and decreases with hard
times.
“in 1918 and 1919 emergency
war-time restrictions on alcoholic
beverages (far short of bone-dry-
ness. however) were imposed.
Drunkcnness took as astonishing
drop during those. years. Near the
end of 1919 the Volstead Act went
into effect. In 1920 there was a.
further drop which the 1921 rise
wiped out. Since then there has
been an increase each year. so that
and says‘:
"Those with evil in their
ever damm God‘s ways.”
Her Greatest Asset
Some say that only one thing
—hcr \oico—a voice of wonderful
power and sweetness—explains her.
One of the .iurymen who heard
her wild kidnaping tale. said:
"God knows whether she's inno-
cent or guilty! But God what a
voice! I kept praying she wouldn’t
stop!"
hoe rts
Love For love I
She is compassionate. tender. sym-
pathetic. She loves her flock as in-
dividuals. They reciprocate love for
love.
She said over the radio recently
that she heard Mary Pickford was
about to name her as co-respondent
for playing about Doug so much.
“Good evening. folks." sings
Aimeeu‘Now each one of you turn
to three neighbors and say ‘God
bless you!‘ to them!"
It will take much more than her
imprisonment to cause the 25,000
faithful to lose faith!
by 1925 there were 'moro arrests
for drunkenness than in 1914.”
In Dry States
Conditions in the former se-call-
ed 'fdry" states are worse today. the,
report states. compared with 1914.
than are conditions in tho so-called
"wet" states.
"Perhaps one reason- for this
greater increase in drunkenness in
the 'dry' states." the report says. "is
that most of these so-cailcd ‘dry'
states were not really so: but were,
in the main. merely restrictive."
“The meat curious result of Na-
tional bone-dryness." the report
states. “is the remarkable increase
in the number of drunken drivers."
“The It‘llnt‘ of drunken drivers
before National prohibition was
more or lees'constant from year to
year. showing only small fluctua-
tions. with a tendehcy toward a
gradual riée commensurate with the
increase in the number of automo-
biles." the report says.
The reason for this enormous in-
crease in drunken drivers seems
fairly clear. the report states.
"After prohibition one could not
purchase intoxicanis. or at least
‘safe' intoxicants. almost anywhere,
as previously. This necessitated
procuring an ample supply—a case
or bottle—in advance. and it was
then carried around on the hip or
in the car and consumed in transit.
Drinking before prohibition was
largely done indoors; a: :1 after pro-
hibition, from a flask on the road.
Figures obtained from public
\\ elfare organizations and police om.
cials. ’the report states. show an
alarming increase under prohibition
among minors.
New Crop Each Year
“This can only mean." it states.
"that each year we are raising a
new crop of drunknrds which is
much larger than the annual crops
we used to raise even under the
saloon."
Summing up the results of
survey, the League
"from the experience.
tional prohibition. of the states
\t‘hich had restrictive laws. from
the experience of the whole coun-
try during the restrictive years
1918-1919. and from the experiences
of the Canadian provinces and the
f‘n’indinavian countries. we believe
that a greater do ree of temperance
can be attained y a wise restric-
tivo law than by a bone-dry law
which does not command the re-
spect of a large part of Ithe people.
“We are also of the firm convic-
tion that such a policy of wise re-
striction would have the incidental
advantage of eliminating almost on-
tirely the scandalous corruption and
bribery of public officials. would
stop the growth of the bectlegglng
millionaire class. could check dis-
respect for the law. and would in
addition produce a. handsome na-
tional revenue."
Tullio’s Song Gets
Irving Berlin’s 0. K.
Sponsored by no less a person
than Irving Berlin himself. “You're
the Sunshine of My Heart." a song-
ballad written by John Tullio. of 6
Henry street, will doubtlessly be one
of the hits of the country within a
short time.
A contract will shortly be signed
by Mr. Tome and Irving Berlin Inc.
by which the rights to the song will
be turned over to the New York con-
cern.
Mr. Berlin heard the song re-
cently in New York while it. was be-
ing broadcast by the Loose-Wiles
Biscuit company orchestra.
Recently a representative of the
Berlin concern was here to talk with
Mr. Tullio and to arrange for the
transfer of the song rights.

It is remarkable. the amount of
coal that a modern factory will burn
in a day. even in a ftcory where
only light articles such as shirts are
manufactured.
in the large plantof Cluett. Pea-
body and company in North Main
street. an average of three tons daily
is burned throughout the winter and
slightly less in summer.
During the past few days the
North Main street plant was
scaled up for the next year. An or-
der of 800 tons has Just been receiv-
ed. and the figures in the office
show that there are 255 tons of coal
in the large yard at the rear of the
factory. left over from the last or-
der.
These 1055 tons of coal will last
for almost a year. Systematic firing
methods allow an exact record to be
kept of the amount of coal used
daily for the plant.
A new line for this local Cluett.
Peabody plant. at least on a large
scale. is the negligee shirt line for
men. This season. finds large orders
for this line being filled at this
plant. while hitherto these shirts
had only been manufactured here in
an emergency. A great demand in
this part of New England has decid-
ed the company to expand this de-
partment in the local factory.,
