Drunkenness Shows
Alarming Increase
Last Year England

London, July 30-(By Associated
Press -Drunkenness increased by
over 65 percent. in England during
last year, according to official Ii
censirg statistics. The reaction aft
shown by 95.763 convictions, COM
pared with 5794S in 1919. There were
only 29,075 convictions in 1918.
The convictions of women were sc
per cent. more than in 1919, and more
than double the total of 1918.
The Daily Express, while admit
ting the figures are startling at
tributes the increase in convictions
to the continuance of early closing
regula tons enforced during the war
and suggests that people who are
denied reasonable facilities for OBJ
tanning 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 1919 Just
issued indicate, on the other hand,
that the nation as a whole is dis
tinctly healthier. tuberculosis fig
ures are the lowest recorded since
compulsory notification came into
force. The number of deaths from
consumption was 33,469.
The infant mortality rate, 80 per
1000, is also the lowest recorded,
while the birth rate rose from 1875 in
the previous year to 25.4 and the
death rate, 12.4, shows a decline at
most ages.

Augusta and Manchester Water

A. F. Peacock of Manchester ap-
peared on Wednesday before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission in behalf of
the petitioners asking an extension
of service by the Augusta Water Dis
trict to accommodate certain resi-
dents Of that town. George E Ma
comber, a trustee of the Water Dis
trict, represented that company.
Mr.. Macomber said that it was i'm
practicable now to lay the 6-inch pipe
wanted by the petitioners but that the
district was willing to lay a Finch
pipe. that will afford plenty of water
for domestic purposes. sill cocks. etc
This is apparently acceptable, under
the circumstances, to the petitioners.

marsupials. On the contrary, its
nearest living relatives are the Aus
tralan bandicoots.
This makes it interesting in con-
nection with theories as to whether
or not South America and Australia
ever have been connected by a land
bridge. With marsupials now found
both in South America and in Aus
tralia, several explanations are posi-
Bile. The original stock may have
spread from South America to Aus
tralia or vice versa by a land bridge
no longer existing. Also it may have
originated in d long since vanished
southern continent, the so-called
Atarctica, aid from there spread
northward both to South America
and to Australia.
