Washington, Sept. 16.—An exhaus-
tive discussion of the effect of pro-
hibition on crime, conditions in set-
tlement neighborhoods, drug addic-
tion, the morals of the young and
respect for law in general, was made
public tonight by the research and
education department of the Federal
Council of Churches as a third sec-
tion of its special report on the so-
cial consequences of prohibition laws.
While pointing out that a lack of
complete data makes definite con- ‘
c-lusions impossible, the report makes j

MISDEMEANORS.
these assertions:
The tendency of young
the present day to depart from
ventional rules of behavior can not
be laid entirely at the door of prohi-
bition, but “the fact that prohibition
has made no more decisive effect in
heightening their moral tone gives
food for earnest thought.”
Crime statistics indicate
increase in violations of law, chiefly
of the misdemeanor class, but it is
“gratuitous” to blame’ prohibition,;
and “all that can be asserted is that;
prohibition has thus far not pre- ‘
vented an increase in such offenses.’’
Available information indicates that
believe that its foes are undermining
all citizenship, while the latter assert
very positively that prohibition has
destroyed respect for all law. For-
tunately, neither contention is fully
supported by facts. The best author-
ities in psychology and education
agree that a person’s attitude to-
ward law and government is not de-',
termined with reference to a single
statute, and that hostility toward one
law does not carry over into the
whole field of the citizen’s responsi-
bility. The attitude of people toward
their government, although it often
gives cause for concern, rests upon
a broader basis than the popularity
of a single law. Everyone takes
some laws more seriously than oth-
ers, and necessarily’ so. All laws
have not the same importance and
some have greater social sanction
than others. For this reason it Would
seem to be a mistake to rest the ap-
peal for observance of prohibition
laws merely upon the general duty
to 'obey the law.” Rather an attitude
of intelligent sympathy toward the
law itself must be built up if it is
to be generally observed.
Statistics Inaccurate.
In discussion the effects of prohi-
bition on crime, the report declared
that crime statistics are “notorious-
ly inaccurate,” and suggested that
trends in crime conditions apparent-
ly have their basis in “forces which
'have long ben operative and are
fairly independent of the liquor
laws.”
The automobile, said the report,
“should bear a greater responsibility
than the hip flask for present moral
conditions among the young.”
“Reports of school administration
officials and of teachers
made extensive studies
problems in the schools give little
support to the theory that prohibition
is in itself a cause of moral break-
down,’ ’it continued. “It may, per-
haps, just as truly be said that it does
not appear to be a great asset. Cer-
tainly the nonobservance of the law
by parents has a rather tragic effect
on boys and girls.
“In the colleges, undoubtedly, some
alarming conditions have developed.
Even in a conservative denomina-
tional college a student has been
known to earn his way through school
by bootlegging. The evidence, how-
ever. seems to indicate a favorable
trend at the present time; at least,
this is the opinion of nearly all the
college deans consulted, and it re-
ceives some measure of support from
other sources.’*
I fessor of veterinary medicine at the
I University of California, stopped off

mel had confessed error after a com-

I the germ had been photographed.
What is the length of life of
foot-and-mouth disease germ?
Authorities on this subejct differ
considerably. In practice in this
country and elsewhere a period of
six months after the diseased animals
have been destroyed and the prem-
ises thoroughly disinfected was con-
sidered safe to restock with animals,
which, however, have been kept un-
der surveillance.
Does the germ live as long as a
year? Some authorities say it does.
Here is a statement in Farmers’ Bui
letin 666. entitled, “Foot and Mouth
Disease,” published in December,
1923. bv the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture :
“Observations made by some vet-
erinarians would lead us to suppose
that the virus is quite readily de-
stroyed. It is claimed that stables
thoroughly cleaned become safe after
drying for a short time. Hence, lit-
ter of all kinds, such as manure or
soiled hay and straw, may remain
infected for a longer time because
they do not dry out.
“Other authorities maintain that
the virus is quite tenacious and may
live in stables even so long as a
year. They also state that animals
which have passed through the dis-
ease may be a source of infection for
several months after recovery.”
Cows May Retain Virus.
In Department Circular No. 325 of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
published in September,
following statement is printed
Professor Bang, writing in
after the serious outbreak of foot
and mouth disease in 22 States of the
United States, to Dr. J. N. Mohler,
chief of hte Bureau of Animal In-
dustry :
“I believe. that recovered cows
very often retain the virus—probably
in the clefts (fissures or crevices) in
the hoofs, especially in the large flat
cavity which often has been formed
under the sole and where infected
particles of manure can be retained
for a long time and be freed after
months, when the hoof is worn. We
have this year very often had the
case that in the summer time the
cows in the stable have had foot and
mouth disease, while the heifers and
calves were on grass and did not get
affected. Late in the autumn they
were put into the stable and a month
or two later the disease began. This
may be the consequence of a less good
disinfection of the stable, but it
seems as likely that the virus comes
from the recovered cows. In my opin-
ion, the disinfection of the hoofs
ought to be done very carefully, but
that is indeed very difficult. AU loose

FOR WORKING PEOPLE
The best of workers get out of sorts
when the liver fails to act. They feel
languid, half-sick, “blue” and discour-
aged and think they are getting lazy.
Neglect of these symptoms might re-
sult in a sick spell, therefore the sens-
ible course is to take a dose or two
of Herbine. It is just the medicine
needed to purify the system and re-
store the vim and ambition of health.

History of Texas Outbreaks.
Last year’s outbreak of the foot
and mouth disease in South Texas
occurred on September 26 in a herd
of cattle belonging to Dr. William
States Jacobs on his ranch some 20
miles south of Houston,
infected herd was destroyed on Octo-
ber 29 in the herd of Tacquard &
Kelsey and the carcasses were
burned.
The outbreak this year occurred
July 26 on the same ranch where it
was found last year and in the same
pasture. The great trench where the
cattle had been buried with steam
shovels was in an adjoining pasture
to the one in which the first infec-
tion was found. It is considerably
less than one year between last year’s
outbreak and this year’s. In fact, it
is just 10 months.
Plow were the premises cleaned ot
the disease in last years’ outbreak?
The records show that all infected
cattle were dstroyed,. either burned
or buried in quick lime with their
sides slashed, after which the infect-
ed peremises were disinfected with
approved germ destroying materials
and the grass burned off the range
and all cattle kept off the land for 90
days, which were carefully watched
for symptoms of the disease, but
showed none, according to official
report, after which period Dr. Jacobs
was permitted to restock in a small
way, but still under supervision of
the Federal and State authorities.
The Bureau of Animal Industry,
finding no further infection in South I
Texas, early in March closed its of-
fices, as did the State Live Stock
Sanitary Commission officers. The
recurrence of the disease came as
great surprise. Dr. Jacobs noticed
that some of his cattle again showed
symptoms of disease and reported
this to the authorities at once. There
were 96 head of catle, all Brahma,
some of which had been imported
from Brazil through Mexico. They
were admitted at the port of Eagle
Pass after they had been kept for 60
days in quarantine, during which
blood tests were made of the animals
and they were under constant ob-
servation for symptoms of any dis-
ease and showed none, the report
shows.
We extend our gratitude to the '
ministers of the county for their in-!
spirational talks.
