X m YADKINVILLE, YADKIN CO., N. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17,1921 NO. 45 HAIR TO.IIOkS , FILL liS JAIL 34 Per Cent Increase in Arrests at Washington Due to “Non Beverages.” ' 1,097 SENTENCED IN YEAR Washington.—The use of hair tonic, 4* voring extracts, perfumes, medicines containing alcohol, and even poisonous wood alcohol, for beverage purposes, had a good deal to do with the fact that the number of jail sentences dealt out at the nation’s capital for intoxi cation during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921, showed an increase of 84 per tent over the previous year, ac cording to the annual report of W. L, |*eak, superintendent of the District Jail, just made public. , Superintendent Peak described the Increase us “an erratic fluctuation in the pioeess of extinction,” which local Observers declared not such a bad way pf putting it, after all. At any rate, there were 1,097 sentenced to jail for drinking more than they could handle, as compared with 841 who didn’t get home safely the year before. Intoxication Increasing. ,! “From their low point following the new law the figures are ascending and Intoxication for the moment is in creasing,'’ reads the superintendent’s report. “The beverages are new, and most Of them are legitimate articles of com- I ;Xneree, but they are being used for pur poses never designed by the manufac turer. Hair tonic, flavoring extracts, perfumes, medicines and the poisonous wood alcohol are all being consumed by the old-time victims of a habit j Which required an act of congress to cure. “The increase is due to the fact that 70i inger men have been able to evade | the law and have found means of traf ficking in saleable imitations of old beverages having an alcoholic con tent nearly double that of the older prod act. “The enforcement of the law is ful ly in keeping with the public’s view point, and the inqpeased violations are probably only an erratic fluctuation in the process of extinction. “Because the courts took such a de termined stand La the matter of frown ing upon certain forms of recklessness find defiance of law, good results are filready indicated. There were 57 ’fewer cases of carrying deadly j.weapons, 74 fewer cases of larceny, W<Jl 30 fewer cases of grand larceny [than last y^r. ;j “There were 58 persons sentenced joy-riding, a decrease of 34. There Were 40 committed for murder, a gain [of 10 o\<er last year. There are four men awaiting execution. j j Young Men Offenders, “It has been the accepted belief that the boy brought safely through his teens into the full promise and estate of young manhood has safely passed the fields in which wild oats are grown, and is firmly embarked upon the broad highway of rectitude and right living. • it is nenrlv mi'vwsfll .o. uiHlnubleui.v ..

' V Mexico City.—Travelers returning llfcre from Yucatan describe that re gion as a socialist stronghold, with radicalism strongly intrenched, from the governorship down to the most minor office. Felipe Cariilo, member of the tederal chamber of deputies, whose radicalism recently . led to at-' tempts to oust him, is the leader and in all probability will be elected gover . nor next fall. Although flic radicals are divided in to two groups they are united in the cause of communism, it is reported, and operate as the “league of re sistance.” Membership cards of this organisation are printed on darning red paper and its letter heads are^ printed in red. Yucatan at present is in a bad way economically, as there is practically no market for henequen, the chief product of the state. The economic situation has given rise to numerous Instances of lawlessness with occa sional bloodshed. In line v Ah these facts is the re port recently cabled to tlie government here that the communist congress which met in Moscow several months ago designated Yucatan as the head quarters for tiie propaganda work in Latin America.
