_THE EVENING WORLD, BABE RUTH SAY He Has No Use for a Pitcher Who Gives HOUSEHOLD HOOTCH CHIEF TOPIC. NOW ALL OVER THE. —_— Problem of Evading Dry Law) Apparently Outranks Even High Cost of Living, BOOZE IN EVERY CITY. Home Brewing Reflected in Soaring Prices of All the Ingredients. By Martin Green. An experiefice of weeks of travel} om all sorts of trains between the| Atiantic and Pacific Coasts and visits to numerous cities enroute have con- vinced me—and scores of other ob- servers are of the same mind—that the people of our impulsive country are devoting ten times more energy, ingenuity and enthusiasm in the di- reotion of evading the Eighteenth Amendment than in the direction of | enforcing tt. You can pass laws designed to take the people's hootch away from them, | but yott.can’t keep tham from think- | {ng about and talking about their hootch.

In San Francisco numerous saloons were openly selling whiskey at from 60 to 7 cehts a drink and the price per bottle ranged from $12 to $16. Bootleggers in Seattle and Portland had plentiful supplies of Scotch and Canadian Bourbon and were getting $30 a bottle for it, Even in Idaho, which has, I was told, the most stic State Prohibition laws in the Union, whiskey was on sale, ‘That the people of California are going Into the home brew industry on 1 scale ts indicated by the mounting prices of the in- gredients that go into the manufac- ture of household hootch, It will be recalled that one of the pleas ad- var 1 by Callfornia against National Prohibition was that her immense Evape crop would be made valueless, The grape crop of California this will be the biggest ever grown State and practically all the have already been sold.
