TROUBLES OF CONTROL" IN ENGLAND
By William (PussyfooD Johnson

it was had not so many persons been
found ON the streets of Carlisle drunk
and incapable from drinking these
same ipethylated spirits
We have no desire to rub it in" on
our British editorial brethren, but il
is scarcely necessary to remind them
that these events indicate that scoun-
drels who would sell methylated
spirits are not confined to countries
where the horrors of Prohibition pre-
vail Neither wide open London nor
the close government management
prevailing at Carlisle seems to pre-
vent addicts from drinking such
poisonous compounds.
The mayor of Carlisle, in congrat-
ulating that city on the report, de-
clared that the drinking of methylated
spirits was national question" and
ought to be drastically dealt with by
the government.
Inasmuch as the British licensing
systems fails to stop the drinking OF
methylated spirits, or stop the selling
of methylated spirits for drinking
purposes, why not put that traffic
also, under government management
and not resort to the restraint of the
liberties of British subjects who wish
to drink methylated spirits
Think this over, brethren.

IRISH TEMPERANCE LEAGUE
PRESENTS BROAD PLATFORM
Is Nonpartisan and Bound to No
Creed; For the Redemption of
Ireland From Drink Curse
WORK AMONG STUDENTS
Paying Particular Attention to
Scientific Temperance Instruc-
ton; Publishes a Journal
(By Albert Porter

We have received from the Irish
Temperance League a copy of its An
nual Report for 1919. The League is
tied to no political party, no religious
denomination and no social class, but
it IS a national organization for the
redemption OF Ireland from the curse
of strong drink. 1t provides a COM
mon platform Tor all parties, crceds
and classes. whose aim is a sober
country and a better Ireland. The
official organ OF the League is Every
body's Monthly, the genial editor Of
which, the Rev John Galley, b. A.,
was a delegate to the International
Prohibition Conference in Washing
ton i'll May, 1910, and signed the con-
stitution for the World League
Against Alcoholism.
The report makes special reference
to the formation Of a Temperance
Education Board for Ireland. This
board consists OF a hundred men,
bers, representing, among Others the
Church of Ireland and the Presby-
terrain and Methodist Churches in
Ireland. The board conducts eXami-
nations and awards prizes and diplo-
mas TO students and teachers Of sccn-
tihe temperance in the schools. MI
merous prizes arc offered, together
with gold and bronze medals, the
highest prize being one of $40 los
($52.50), offered by Mr. Henry Ran
dali, founder OF the temperance or
ganization known as the Strength OF
Britain Movement. A second prize,
also offered by Mr. Randall, takes the
novel form of one weeks holiday as
guest in his quaint house and old
world garden i'll Oakshott, Surrey,
with daily motor rides to the beauty
spots of Surrey and Sussex, including
the seaside towns of Bryton and
Worthing. Return railway and steam
CT fare from ireland are also included
in the prize
An idea will be gained OF the good
work the board is doing by perusal
of half-dozen examination questions
taken at random from the program
for 1920:
|. Beer is liquid bread" Show
how this statement is a fallacy
, What is the effect OF alcohol on
the body heat?
}. How is the air of a public house
(saloon) dangerous TO health?
4. Why do beer and spirits not sat
isfy thirst?
5. What mistake do people make
when they take alcohol ito keep the
cold out?"
9. A man is driving motor car
after drinking one glass of stout, and
an accident happens. What connec-
ton might be traced between the
drink and the accident?
The solution of the liquor problem
is OF most urgent importance in Ire
land today, and scientific temperance
education in the schools will CON
tribute in a most useful manner to its
solution. We wish the Temperance
Education Board every success.

JAPAN EXPERIENCES
SLUMP IN SHIPPING

Toxic. July 31.-A feature of the
economic depression in Japan is the
weakness of the steamship charter
market. About fifteen large ocean
going ships are tied up at Kobe and
Osaka and about so other ships will
soon be released from old charter con-
tracts. Owners will have great diff
ficulty in finding new contracts on
account of the slump in the sea carry
ing trade.
With the accumulated depression in
the shipping market. the price of ships
has declined, the present standard
quotation being equivalent to S135, to
$40 a ton. / 'nspite of the decline,
there have been no buyers at home
for some time past, but some vessels
are being sold to Dutch concerns.

125 OWNERLESS BIKES
ARE HELD BY POLICE
Three Automobiles, Unclaimed
Also May Be Sold at
Auction Soon.

Unusual activity by bicycle thieves
is shown in reports to the police the
past few weeks and while owners of
stolen wheels are clamoring for police
protection and recovery of stolen
property, the police have 125 un-
claimed wheels in their possession.
Unless they are identified before
Thursday next the bicycles Will be
sold at auction.
Many of the bicycles were found
abandoned a on the streets. while 9TH
ers were taken from persons other
than their owners and were never
claimed. Police officials are at loss
to understand why SO many persons
fail to appear at headquarters and
claim their stolen bicycles. All the
wheels are numbered and, 1t is stated
the police might be able to trace the
ownership by starting at the fac
tories.
Such work would consume the time
of several men, however. and the de-
partment has not the men to spare
for it. Police officials think it should
be an easy matter for owners to visit
headquarters and identify and claim
their property.
There is nothing unusual in their
failure to do So" remarked a mem
