WIVES DO THE DRINKING.
Increased Number of Convictions OF
Women for Drunkenness
in England

Can wives be trusted with money.
This is the question now agitatirE Eng
land. for the enlistment Of some S.pbO 0TJ
men in the army has given to many
OF their wives the opportunity of
spending money without having to ask
their husbands for it. The govern
ment allowance for the support of the
families of enlisted men is paid di-
reCtly into the hands Of the wives ana
there j. abundant evidence that IL is
not always wisely expended. The num-
Der Of convictions for drunkenness
among women has gone up alarming
ly in the year. while the number
among men has gone down.

Kingdom for the half year of war
ending June 30 was Sio.OOO.OOo more
than during the corresponding half
year Of peace preceding. That is to
say, SIS. 0OO. 600 NOR have been spent
for beer. S2O.OOO,OOO more for spirits,
and $4,000. 600. less for wine. This
would confirm the general impression
that the upper classes are drinking
less, or at least economizinE on their
liquor bills. while the lower classes,
especially the women, are drinking
more. The increase in consumption is
not quite so great a. these figures
indicate, because prices are higher.
but il is considerable. Considering that
the annual drink hill Of the country
is ordinarily over SS25.OOO.OOO. it is
serious matter to have il increased
by perhaps 500. 100000 in a time when
the utmost economy and efficiency is
demanded. The new anti-treatinE law.

expected to cut down drunkenness in

The Effects Of Prejudice.
BY JOHN ID. BARRY,

The old adsge about giving dog bad name
applies to the giving of bad to human
beings and to those masses of human beings called
nations. When once nation has been given a
bad name the world is eager to keep applying it.
Its use seems to give the users sense of superb
ority the illusion OF the right to patronize. But
we all know. of course, that patronizing is OF
the most unpleasant forms OF arrogance and self
assertion. one of the most fragrant and of the
quickest to betray itself. When we expressing
gratuitous contempt for others really max
ing ourselves contemplate.
Here is an illustration Of the curious effect of
language on thought We like to think that Ian
guage is the servant OF thought. Often it is the
master. Our weaknesses have a way of running
into the established expressions that give them a
chance to reveal themselves, that fairly to
call them out of their hiding places Among some
OF the people who instinctvely refer to others in
the most contemptuous way that is possible, their
minds, even their organs OF speech, seem to be
controlled by such words "Dago" for Italian.
Mick" for Irishman, "Greaser' for Mexican,
"Dutchman" for German, "Sheeney" for Jew. Usu-
ally they will be found be the very people that
take pleasure in referring in the most unpleasant
of all ways to the work that others are doing or
have done.

Following his policy of last year.

also print the special report Of the

voted to the defense Of the admins

it would be impossible for to think of them as

That students at Yale University
should be given credit for work done
ut the summer military camps Is rec
ommen 1ed by President Arthur Twin

over twenty pages of his annual re-
port to the discussion of military
training of college students and states
frankly that Yale University has not
been giving the attention to this that
il should.

fairly" said President Hadley. Il be
Hcve that IL is not only justifiable,
hut desirable. to give credit TO our
students for work done at the sum
rner camps and cooperate with the
army in every way in supplementinE
such work by subsequent study here
at Yale under the direction of the Of
fcers at the department.
In the first place, IL is an intellectual
course Those who are unfamiliar with
the army regulations hardly appreciate
how much brains have been put into
them, or how much mental ability 1t
involves to learn to carry them out
The old notion that military training
consists mostly of formal exercises, eth
or of individuals or of groups. Is an out
worn one. The routine Of drill consti-
tutes only very small part of mod
crn training. and II occupies a CORE
spondingly small portion Of the time of

without her today for he did his
drundest" TO run her off the place.
The new mayor tells the story on
himself A few days ago he noticed
what he thought was a strange COW
in his pastures and he ran her out of
the gate and down the lane. Like
the cat, the COW came back. He ran
her away again. She returned. In
the course OF the next few days he
and his hired men chased the brute
out OF his gates at least dozen times
but always she returned. Yesterday,
r. F. reached the end OF his patience.
"In fix the crltter," he quoth as he
saddled UP his horse. "I'll take her
down the road so far she won't be
able to find her way back" Accord
ingly he mounted his steed and head
ed the COW for the gate. AS he rode
alongside OF the animal he was as
tonished to see his own brand plainly
visible on the cows hind quarters
He looked again. There could be no
mistake. The animal wore his mark
and no other. She was his property
by all the laws OF the range, and he
hadn't recognized her.
