Honestly, the effect has been mostly negative. The old stately habits of drinking, personified by such names as Reisen weber’’s, Shankley’s Rector’s and Mouquin’s, did not come back. I won der whether anyone very much believ ed that .they would, despite all thei nostalgic stories and sanguine predic tions printed with the advent of re peal. i There can be little doubt that there is more drinking now than there was during the dry era, although it would fall more in line with the predictions of the wets to say that true temper ance began with the end of the un workable law. There is more drink ing now—and more people are getting arrested. Police, I believe, have admitted un officially that 50 per cent more rois terers have landed in the jug during the past six months than in the six month period preceding. That really proves little. Hospitals record an all time low in alcoholic cases —which can only mean that the liqquor is bet ter. , ANALYZING TIPSINESS The streets of New York present phenomenon when studied with re peal in mind. There are drunks to be seen, as of old, but not so many very drunk drunks. A man passes with just a slight liift of starboard, tor an uncertain eye. Another just stumb les om the curb and then walks on in apparent sobriety. The result is that you catch your self wondering, particularly on Sat urday nights along Broadway wheth er everybody isn’t a little woozy. In the old arid days there would heave on the horizon periodically drunks of a fantastic and abandoned tipsiness. These latter looped and rolled and zoomed. They rioted outrageously along the boulevards in long zig-zags. They fell under automobiles, they ca reened off elevated platforms and top pled onto subway tracks. They were thoroughly and poisonously drunk, but they were, all things considered, rare. Now they are much rarer. Probably there is no temptation to consume all the liquid, of whatever quality or quan tity, in sight at a single sitting. The inebriated of today patrol the streets not exactly drunk, but still enveloped by an unmistakable aura. They are not exactly drunk. They’re rather tight. Finally, (alcoholics cost too much still for them to be consumed regu larly by the masses. Now and again you hear of cases of clearly spurious stuff being passed off upon the un suspecting asi genuine. The sidewalk, case, rapidly on the Increase here, is pulling the bibulous out into the open and probably doing as much for tem perance as any other single factor, Richard H.

Tremendous Vote Is Cast T Throughout Whole County A tremendous vote was being cast throughout Vance county today in the Democratic primary, and indications in the early afternoon were that prob ably the day would see the largest number of votes ever cast •» a single election in the county. The lone State-wide contest hardly received any attention, and was voted on only because it was a part of the ticket. Chief interest centered on the congressional ticket that even overshadowing the hot contests over several of the local county races. The best information available was that Jetre P.

Such a person will do better to follow things as they are rather than to go chasing after new experiences. .WORLD. at n Glance By LESLIE EICHEL New York, June 2. —The stock mar ket hast not reacted strongly to strikes. There possibly ip a reason. Recent strikes have not been called by ommunists,C but by American Fed eration of Labor unions. The A. F. of L. is almost as conservative as Wall Street. Washington, however, rs concerned. If the A. F. of L. is upset, then the field is open to communism. Massed industry has failed to see that. Massed industry is taking direction largely from the House of Morgan. The House of Morgan has the great est voice in the auto field, in the auto accessory field and in the steel in dustry—as well as the railroads and public utilities. The House of oMrgan has been fighting the Roosevelt administration tooth and nail —on NRA labor codes and the stock exchange regulation bill. * * * Tieups At the same time state troops were gassing strikers in Toledo, company guards gassed strikers In a taxi strike in Cleveland. The taxis are owned by a subsidiary of the Morgan-domi nated General Motors. The Toledo plant which has ibeen the scene of the worst trouble disposes of a large part of its product to Genera* Motors. Governor George White of Ohio who (as probably any other governor would) sent the troops to Toledo, is a small-town banker whose administra tion has been marked by severe charges against the state banking de partment. The banking department skipped examinations o$ banks in Cleveland, and depositors lost more than two hundred million dollars. Toledo also has been the scene of 'disastrous bank failures.

Chairman jeffress has just returned from a trip to More head City, where he made a personal investigation into matters pertaining to the bridge there. “Our committees have been doing a great deal of work on matters per taining to these bridges and indica tions are they will have something definite to report with regard to each one,” Chairman Jeffress said. The resolution adopted by the com mission several weeks ago declared it to be the policy of the commission to remove all privately owned toll bridg es and that it would either buy exist ing bbridges or build new ones. When asked if the highway com mission would extend the causeway tirely to Wrightsville Beach, if it pur chased that causeway and bridge, or whether it would stop, as at present, at Harbor Island, Chairman Jeffress said that it was the intention of the commission to extend the highway entirely to the beach, provided it could get Federal funds for this purpose. “If we can get some more Federal funds, we plan to extend the road- SEEK ‘AGITATORS IN STRIKE RIOTS Marlin Conelly Colonel W.
