DRYS HAVE WON 5000 VICTORIES SINCE REPEAL
Prohibition Spreads Over 43 Per Cent of U. S. in New Crusade.
By WILLIS THORNTON Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Dec. 25 (NEA) — Five thousand dry victories have dotted the history of six years of repeal since beer came foaming | back at the close of 1933. At least 43 per cent of the United States by area has gone dry in that interval, and at the present rate of increase in the spread of dry territory, more than half the country | will be dry by 1947. In such terms, the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union, today's most active prohibition organization, describes the Secorid Dry Crusade, which began the very day repeal ended tHe first one in disaster.
Objective Remains Unchanged
Nationa! prohibition is still the objective of all dry organizations, | but none will predict the year they | think it will be attained a Sea * time, Mrs. Ida B. Wise-Smith, national president of the W, C. T. U,, gives| this hint: | “The re-legalized liquor traffic has| magnified itself not only in numbers | (432,260 saloons already now in six | years, as compared with 177,000 be- | fore prohibtion) but in the character | of its appeal (now made to women | and youth in particular as against men in former days). Hence it will come to its fall with a corresponding | degree of rapidity. “Everything, local option elections, | the Gallup Poll with its constant rise in prohibition sentiment, all show that there is a swing back to prohibition. As to how long this will be, no one can tell.”
Money Flows Into Campaign
Spokesman for 500.000 members in 10,000 locals, the W. C. T. U. has spent in the past four years $760,000 | of a fund dedicated to prohibition education (or propaganda, as you choose). Its present task is to “implement &ll public sentiment that has been created by this drive.” The Methodist Board of Tem-| perance, Prohibition and Public Morals, under Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, is likewise spending more than $100,000 a year contributed | among 8.000000 Methodists who] support its activities. | the accent is on education. Dry| Jeaders today are unanimous in| feeling that Prohibition II, to suc- | ceed, must be backed by a more] effective public opinion than Pro- | hibition I. |
Ticket Still in Field
The 1040 presidential campaign | will see a prohibition candidate in | the field, according to the plans of | that party. He will probably be Dr.| D. Leigh Colvin, who bore the dry standard into the 1936 campaign. It is on the home front that the drys are operating today, in & pro-| gression that works upward from | the individual home to the neigh- | borhood, to the town, the township, the county, and the state. When | victory has been achieved in all] states, then some new form of national law—probably not a constiu- | tional amendment—will be advo-| cated. Edward B. Dunford, Wash- | ington representative of the Anti-| Salon League, has called attention | to the similarity of this procedure to pre-1920 days.
Tennessee Goes Wet
State dry laws stand firm in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. Ten-| nesse®, until this year a fourth, withdrew from the dry column in| the chief dry setback. But one by one small towns and | communities are going dry again. In Ohio, a rather typical state, 807 townships, 70 per cent of the state's| area, have outlawed by-the-drink| sales of hard liquor. Illinois has) 728 dry communities covering | 1,000,000 residents, Texas, with & dry governor, now has 112 bone-dry counties out of 254, with 45 others partially dry. These gains have been made by | the drys despite the fact that 13] states bar local option. Liquor consumption fell off for the first time since repeal in the fiscal year ending last June, but has resumed the up- -grade.

Spirit of Christmas Portrayed
This touching family scene was used by Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Spiker, 962 W. 35th St, on their Christmas cards this year. Mr. Spiker, a draftsman in the State Highway Department and an amateur photographer, constructed the candle with a roll of drawing paper, two pie plates, a top off a washing machine, ribbons, pine cones and sprigs of fur. Then he posed his daughters, Suzdnne, 9 (left), and Joy, 2, snapped the camera, and presto—the picture. The “match” in Suzanne's hand as a pencil and the flame was put on in India ink after the picture was taken.

If the dentist thinks cne of your nerves is dead he touches the tester to the tooth in question. An electric current is set up that goes through the tooth. If your nerve is still alive you feel it.
