THE TRAGEDY OF DRINKING MOTHERS
“Some Boston drinking places look like baby clinics in the afternoon, so many carriages are parked outside.” This startling statement was not the complaint of a disturbed Prohibitionist, nor even of a social worker. As a matter of fact the statement was made by Mary E. Driscoll, chairman of the City Licensing Board of Boston, Massachusetts, as quoted by a United Press dispatch from Boston on March 29, rrinted in the Philadcphia “Inquirer.” The headline of the item announced: Boston Saloons Told to Halt ‘Baby Clinics’” and the article stated also: "Boston proprietors were asked by the City Licensing Board today to cease servfhg liquor to women who have babies in their arms and discourage th» nractice of parking baby carriages saloons.” —South California “White Ribbon.”
