Diogenes

For three months five honest Wets toured the U. S. in a bus named "Diogenes" looking for a drunkard who had been reformed by the 18th Amendment. They had been despatched by the Crusaders and the Women's Organization for National Prohibition Reform. Last week.after traveling 12,000 miles through 36 States they returned to Manhattan emptyhanded. Reported Paul Morris, short, bald director of the research party:

"We've yet to find a single law-reformed drunk. Of course we found many alcoholic addicts who had given up drink for one reason or another. But never from statutory compulsion. . . . We went to see Jane Addams at Hull House in Chicago. We also interviewed Volstead with no result and simply dozens of leaders of the Salvation Army, W. C. T. U. and Anti-Saloon League. . . . We encountered a lot of talk and argument but we weren't looking for arguments. We were looking for people who had been saved from drink by the Volstead Act and we didn't find any."
