IN ENGLAND's DRINKING AGE
Primate Asks Why Old-Time Drunk.

Was Winked At.

When did drunkenness become q
general vice? was the question asked
by the archbishop Of Canterbury In
an address at the anniversary meeting
of the Church of England Temperance
society.
Drunkenness, remarked the arch
bishop, came in" only In very in
cidental way in the books Of the six
teenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. In the literature Of those
times one found Sabbath-breaking pro-
family, blasphemy, and other offenses
freely named, but drunkenness was al
luded to In a very incidental way.
Mention was made In one book. said
the archbishop, Of special action taken
to censure and punish parish clerks
for being drunk curing divine service
One had in that very curious picture
of the way in witch the vice was re-
garded.
Was It, asked the archbishop. that
drink did not produce 80 much drunk
enness as it does today? Was 1t that
the more active life, the more frequent
riding on horseback, counteracted It?
Was 1t that the mischief arising from
the actual drunkenness was not real
lied? Or was drunkenness so common
among the leading people that e was
difficult for any one living in glass
houses to throw stones? He suggested
that some one should undertake the
task of investigating the problem

HISTORY A TURBULENT ONE
Since Its Freedom From Spain Mex
leo Has Passed Through Many
Revolutions.

Mexico's history as republic"
began ninety-one years ago. when Gen.
Iturbide, who had been chosen en-
peror of Mexico and had taken the
title of Augustin I, was forced to alb.
dictate. The war for freedom from
Spain began in 1910, and after a
struggle of eleven years Iturbide de-
cided the conflict in favor OF the
patriots and made a triumphal entry
into the City Of Mexico. The leaders
decided to form the country into an
empire, and Iturbide offered the
crown to Spanish princes. The offer
was refused and Iturbide himself was
elected to the imperial throne. In
July, 1922, he was crowned in the
City of Mexico, but his reign was
destined to be brief. Gen. Antonio
Lopez de Santa Ana raised an army
Of rebels and, after several victories,
forced Iturbide to abdicate on March
%, 1923. Santa Ana had previously
proclaimed the republic" and con-
tinued at its head until Gen. Guada-
lupe Victoria was elected" president
the following year. Iturbide was put
to death when he returned to Mexico.
Thus was a precedent established for
the deposition of Guerrero, Arista,

He found an empty pew near the
door, and entering, leaned back, half
closing his eyes. He followed the con-

and prayer and lesson; but he moved
mechanically. without thought of wor-

dreams gave him a new and daring re-

She came to a halt beside Mark,
looking up with smile that made him
forget curious observers.
