CENTS A DOZEN
fRx The Associated Press. J

Kansas City, Feb, 8.-Wholesale
egg prices dropped 5 cents dozen
here today, carrying the price for
first grade down to 81 cents.
This represented a decline of "a
cents a dozen in the last two weeks
and IS cents lower than the prices
for the corresponding date last
year.
Large receipts of eggs through
out the country in the last two
weeks, attributed to mild weather,
coupled with low prices for farm
products is responsible for the UNI
precedented decline, according to
dealers.

eggs today demoralized the market
here, and forced prices down about
6 cents a dozen, wholesale, as COM
pared with yesterday. The season
is at hand for heavy arrivals. and
today's receipts were the largest

Including today's fall in prices,
the Chicago market showed a de-
cline of II cents so far this week,

Increasing
In England

London, July s0.-tMail.)-Drunk-
enness increased by over IS per cent
in England during last year, accord
ing to official licensing statistics. The
reaction after the war period of
sobriety was shown by 95,7ll convic-
tons, compared with 57,948 In 1919.
There were only 29,075 convictions, in
1918. 800
The convictions Of women were 36
per cent more than In 1919, and more
than double the total Of 1913. Il
A Daily Express, while admitting
the figures are startling, attributes the
increase in convictions to the con-
ttnuance 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 con-
Quoted saloons has led to the opening
Of many bogus clubs and illicit
drinking dens.
Oficial, health returns for 1920
5nst issued indicate, OF the other
hand, that the nation as a whole is
dfstin city healthier. Tuberculosis ng-.

while the birth rate rose from 1875
In h previous year to 25.4 and the
death rate, 12.4. shows a decline at

If this is SO there remains but one
way in which the budget can be brought
within the constitutional tax limit, and
that is by reducing appropriations COM
puted in the rate for the city at large.
This will involve reduction Of $1O,-
100000 to bring the city rate down to
a point where the rate for city and
county purposes in Richmond and the
other counties will be within the consti-
tutional limit Of 2 per cent.

Moreover, the total amount Of any
deficiency thus created that might pos

Of the Board of Aldermen in 1929 could
not exceed 100000. 1t is evident.
therefore, that the reduction must be
made upon some state activity where

The Comptroller cited an opinion by
