ENGLISH REPORT
SHOWS INCREASE
IN DRUNK ENNE..SS

London. Aug. 7.-DrUnkenneas in
creased by over 65 per cent in Eng
land during last year. according to
official licensing statistics. The re
action after the war period of sobrie
ty was shown by 95,763 convictions,
compared with 57,9AS in 1919 There
were only 29,075 convictions in 1913.
Tho Daily Express, while admitting
the figures are startling. attributes
the increase in convictions to the CON
tinuance of early closing regulations
enforced during the war and suggests
that people who are denied reason
able facilities for obtaining liquor
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 clubs and Illicit drinking
dens.
Official health returns for 1920 just
issued Indicate, on tho other hand
that the nation as a whole is distinct
ly healthier. tuberculosis figures are
the lowest recorded since compulsory
notification came into force The num-
Der of deaths from consumption was
33,469.
The infant mortality rate 80 per
loco, is also the lowest recorded,
while the birth rate rose from IS ;
in the previous year to 25. 4 and TIE

was not Suzanne, the marvellous. She
was SIX. and her dash and accuracy

Mrs. Mallory, playing with a skill
