January 8. Finger-prints and police records of 80,729 drunken women have gone into Federal Bu reau of Investigation files since 1941. An other 6.990 arrested for drunken driving, and 8,242 listed as violators of liquor laws brings the total number of arrests since 1941 to 95, 967. The FBI spokesmen agree that the true picture is worse than their records indicate j because of the reluctance o! local police to put drunken women through the ordeal of detention and finger print mg. Mr. Markel points out. In the first half of 1947 alone, 7,804 women l were arreAed for drunkenness, finger-print ed, and their finger-print records sent to the FBI. This set an all-time record for a six j months period. One out oi every five ar- 1 rests was for drunkenness; arrests for lar- • cenv, second most numerous female offense, were onk 10.9 percent and those for va grancy. which ranked third. 10.1 percent. These figures show how the percentages of female arrests for drunkenness have in- j creased: 1948. 14.8; 1944. 15.5; 1945, 17.5; 1946, 18.7: and the first s>\ months of 1917, 20.6 | percent prints of drunken women: 1942, 1 1,528; 1942, ! 11.729; 1944, 12,956; and 1945. 14.662. The ar rests slumped off 1m iefh in the first half of 1946 to 5,740 but staggered back in the last j half to 7,145 and kept climbing into 1947. Arrests of womer. for driving while drunk showed a corresponding increase, 742 in the first half of 1947 as contrasted to 595 for the next highest half year period.—The Union Signal. Paying Tlw TVr* Who really pa\.. the lax? The brewers am! distillers? Not one cent of it! Mr. Finley C. Hendrickson once said: A woman bends aver the washtub. Her husband is down in the beer parlor drinking, helping to pay the tax. A young man is taking his first drink. Ho is beginning to pay the tax. He may be a drunkard in a few years and then he will pay more tax. An employe has just been discharged for drinking. He was paying the tax. He joins the large army of the unemployed. A husband is selling off some of his best furniture and the family is moving into a stuffy flat. He has been paying the lax. A constable is ringing his bell. He is go ing to sell some household goods [or rent. The owner has been paying the tax at the liquor counter. A lot of noisy men art' in a beer parlor drinking. Paying the tax. When a distressed woman pleads for the pardon of her husband confined in a penal institution for a drink-caused crime, she is “paying the tax,” and doing it with her heart’s blood children pay it in hunger; young men and young women pay it in soul distress, all of us pay it in dollars none can escape.—Exchange. IT7#y Kipling Tnrnvil igain si Drill!; Rudvard Kipling, in some of liis earlier writings, decried the idea of temperance. One night in the city of Buffalo, the incident occurred which he records on page 121 of j American Notes: “Then, recanting previous opinions, 1 be- j came a Prohibitionist. Better it is that a man should go without his beer in public places, and content himself with swearing at the narrowmindedness of the majority; bettor it is to poison the inside with very vile temperance drinks, and to buy lager fur tively at back doors, than to bring tempta tion to the lips of young fools such as the four I had seen. I understand now why the' preacher rages against drink. 1 have said: ‘There is no harm in it taken moderately,' and yet my own demand for beer helped di rectly to send these two girls reeling down the dark street to-—God alone knows what end. If liquor is worth drinking, it is worth taking a little trouble to come at such trou ble as a man will undergo to compass his own desires. It is not good that we should let it lie before the eyes of children, and 1 have been a fool in writing to the contrary.” - .ju-ii—J-aiags, ru-r poses cannot go forth, like' wandering pol len, from one human mind to another, find ing unsuspected lodgment, if virtue and truth build a strong defense. Mary Baker Eddy. They that know God will bo humble; they that know themselves cannot be proud.— Flavel. SWEET HOME CU B MEETS The Sweet Home Demonstra ' tion Club met with Mrs. Nina Britton on June Oth. Due to the busy season there were only sev ! on members and three children present.
