OF per- haps it was put in thi: do more women drink?” i Ip either form the query 1s much like saying “Why do dogs Oy er birds bark?” The answer is that they don’t. ‘he fact is the women of the country —the vast majority of them—put Pro- } hibition over, even though only @ com- | |ff parative few of them had a chance to |} vote for it, Those who coultn't vote i influenced enough of the oppostte sex to carry the country. | But Probibition is not entirely effective and the question as to the |i} comparative frequency with which |} women ang men drink to-day = a {i} somewhat doubtful subject for de- bate, There are still well stocked cellars, or those that were once well stocked but which are rapidly be- coming depleted, and bootleggers and wholesalers without the paie of |i the law.

If there is an increase of drinking mons women, and I don't believe’ + there is any noticeable increase of | th habit among those women who did not have it before Prohibition, I can only explain it by the peculiar psy- chology of the human being who im- mediately desires anything when it ‘is forbidden, Hve and the Garden of Eden are for in the distant past, but our primal instinets are much the same, even in these days of alleged civilization which boasts of such splendidly civi- lized institutions, ag the tea room and hair wave parlor. | Women, however, want Prohibition. | | ‘They have it ow, and J do not believe they are working to destroy that | |If which they did most to create.
