DIR. Edmond Locard, head of the Lyons

LONDON, Aug. 17.-Drunkenness IN
creased by over 60 per cent in England
during last year, according to official
licensing statistics. The reaction after
the war-period of sobriety was shown by
%. 763 convictions, compared with 9I,9o
in 1919. There were only 29,075 convic-

The convictions of women were 36 per
cent more than in 1919, and more than
double the total of 1913.
The Daily Express, while admitting the
figures are startling, attributes increase
in convictions to the continuance of early
closing regulations enforced during the
war and suggests that people who are
denied reasonable facilities for obtaining
liauOr have taken in their resentment
more than was good for them when they
could get it." The paper also holds that
the closing of properly conducted saloons
has led to the opening of many bogus
