Lambs should be weaned when

Shorts and corn fed in equal guam

DECEMBER DRINKS
REVEAL INCREASE
OVER NOV. RECORD

Are Washington wet-goods fanciers
today staging a strong Comeback"
after temporarily being knocked on
the ropes by the Sheppard dry" law ?
That is the inference which might
be rawn from persusl of figures
issued by Major Pullman, superin-
tendent Of police, comparing arrests
for drunkenness and crimes said to
be caused by drunkenness for the
months Of November and December in
1916 and 1917.
While there were S3S "drunks"
corraled in November. 1916 against
1873 for the same month 1917. the
statistics for the two DEFENDERS are,
respectively, 500 and 3OS. In other
words. while in 1915 advance OF the
twelfth over the eleventh month in
1916 was but IS. that for 1917 was
1913, or more than 80 per cent. And
as the merry days OF the new year
trip by, they too leave their trail OF
drunkS
Comparative figures for crimes OF
which rinkinE is the alleged cause
is as follows for the two periods:
Assault, 299 and l52: cruelty to anil
mails. 10l and IS; disorderly conduct,
6i3 and 241; HOUSEKEEPING, log and
So; carrying weapons. SO and 20.

The surface development is more inn
pressive because OF the revolutionary
change in the entire character and ap-
pearance of the district in the last ten
years. The massive building at the

Murray Hill Hotel, which is to be
erected just as soon as the War Depart

end that greater rentals, higher values

show such harmony of purpose. The
city authorities had similar plan in
