Dr. Hub-, bard cities statistics of the hospitals, | the police and courts in support of his| conclusion that prohibition is a fall-| ure. He aeks the reason why, and] then answers: “Prohibition has failed because tho‘ United States is bounded on the north | by hard liquor, on the south by liquor, | on the west by rum and on the ensh by no limit."” Dr. Hubbard's tabulations show that | deaths from alcoholism reported to the department of health increased from 252 in 1018, the last year in! which the country was under no na-! tional restraint in the use of flh‘ohollci beverages, to 272 in 1922, and that in | 1918 the number of deaths from wood | alcohol poisoning was only four as compared with 15 in 1922, The total number of deaths from alcoholism., wood alcoholism and acute alcohol, pmsanmg iumpe(l from 257 in 1918, 295 in 192 ‘ 'I‘he numher of alcoholic cases treat- ed at Bellevue hospital was only ‘2R| fn 1918, but it rose to 4,083 in 1922, and that institution’s report is typical of other hospitals in New York city. i Twenty-nine hospitals reporting on; the number of alcoholic cases admit- ted to their wards showed an aggre- gate of 5,710 in 1918 as against 6,- 869 in 1922, Fourteen Points on Prohibition Has Dbne,” Dr. Hubbard submits the following 14 points: *1.—Prohibition has increased enor- mously the deaths from'wood alcohol poisoning. 2—Prohibition has increased admis- sion to general hospitals of cases of alcoholism. 3—Prohibition has made men switch from beer drinking to hard liquor. 4—Prohibition has increased alco- holism in the two alcoholic services of our two hospitals. 5—Prohibition has closed the saloon hut has made home-brewing and oc- casioned home drinking. 6—Prohibition has increased the wholesale price of grapes, rich in phosphates and vitamines, beyond the price for average home consumption. 7—Prohibition has increased the number of arrests for drunkenness. §—Prohibition has brought about wholesale disrespect for the law. 9—Prohibition has caused poison ous death-dealing drinks to be made and promiscuously sold. 10—Prohibition has increased alco- holic indulgence by the adolescent male and female. Peddling of Impure Liguors 11—Prohibition has brought ahout wholesale bootlegging and illicit ped- dling of impure liquors. 12—Prohibition has brought about an increase in the manufacture of spurious money. 13—Prohibition has brought about speak-easies for the sale clandestinely of liquor. 14—Prohibition has many sins, so- cial and hygienic, to account for, “These 14 points are consequences dissappointing in our public health experiences and are a terrible indict- ment of such regulation. These facts should make thinking persons consid- er seriously if this is the right way to deal with the problem, “Privileges that are almost as nat- ural as life itself being swept ruth- lessly away overnight naturally begets an antagonistic reaction which can only be hurtful to a good cause hav- ing high aims.

Boston, July 21.—Terms outlined by the New England Telephone and Telegraph C for settlement of the strike of several thousand operators in progress since June 26 still are under consideration by the strikers despite the action of ‘the regional council, New England Teléphone Op- erators unions, Thursday night in re. jecting the company's plan. Admission that the peace terms had not been given up altogether was made yesterday when Miss Julia 8. O’Connor, president of the striking union and several members of her committee conferced with telephone company heads for the second time! since the strike began. A statement issued by the company after this con ference said that it was called by Miss O’Connor “to inquire into certain mat- ters of procedure in carrying the pro- visions of the company's offer into ef- feet.” The company’s offer provided for the re-employment of as many of the strikers as possible without prejudice to the positions of new workers en- gaged since the strike was called, each girl reengaged to receive the wages to which her full term of serv- ice would entitle her. Strikers re- employed would forfeit seniority rights and would be restored to their full time standing under the com- pany's benefit plan only after a year's | probation.
