"Looks like a pretty expensive cigar you've got there. Judge."

"Yesiree, it's a real good one. Bill. Won it from Chris down at the cigar store yes-terday. He got pretty positive in a dis-cussion v.-e had and I had to take him up on it. Bet me three good cigars to my one that the three states that still have pro-hibition have less crime than the other states. Well, all I had to do was s u p across

the street to my office where I had some recent F. B. I. figures in my desk drawer. Why, on the average, those three states have a worse crime record than the whole rest of the country. And there's a good sound Reason for it. Bill. There's no such thing as £ dry community. I t ' s only a ques-tion of whether liquor is sold legally or il-legally. And when it's sold illegally it means bootleggers, gangsters and more crime."
