Statistics which the speaker gave regarding the effect of prohibition on families that have come under the observation of the Chicago Charities were most interesting and proved that among these families the eighteenth amendment has had a salutary effect although the best results came the first vea.r that the law was in operation hefore the bootleggers were as n11merous and when there was no employr ment problem as there has been recent years. Miss Scars pointed out the differences in famih· case work since the introdution of I;sychiatry, which necessitates an entirely new vocabulary.
