...broom sweeps clean.' A temporary National Prohibition Law as a war measure may be effective. It is urged to stimulate war production in the emergency, and to take temptation from our soldiers, though it is doubtful whether the serious loss to the national revenues, which it will entail, may not outweigh the actual benefits. The immediately useful operation of such a law . . . is not convincing evidence of its ultimate tendency and result. The community must summer and winter it for years...

More photographs show dozens and scores and hundreds of the 12,000 Bat'a workers, all apparently clean, robust and inclined to athletic sports on Bat'a play-fields. Further statistics prove that Bat'a workpeople can buy as much for their wages at Bat'a Company stores as Ford workpeople can buy at Ford Company stores-although of course Bat'a wages are lower than Ford wages in gold...
