DRUNKENNESS IN
WASHINGTON GREATER
THAN IN LONDON

Editor Fl and 8: washington,
the National Capital of the
United Saharas OF America, with
Nationwide Prohibition, has, In
proportion to Its size. just about
three times the drunkenness that
London has, with wide-open
saloons.
Here are the official figures:
According to the latest report
OF Scotland Yard, London has
population of 1000, 900. The
number Of arrests for drunken
ness average about I'll per week,
or, roughly, 100 per day.
The number of arrests In
Washington vary considerably.
The latest police report gave 80
In "a hours; previous report
gave 98 In 4S hours, another, so
in IS hours: for the month OF
July 634 persons were arrested
for intoxication 0about $50 per
week. or 81 per day,
An extremely fair average for
Washington would be 20 per day
or 140 per week, which is far
below the actual figures.
London has about Is times the
population OF Washington, there
fore IL London had the same
number OF arrests for drunken
ness, In proportion to its size, II
would have 2,100 arrests per
week, about three times the
actual number. -.'
III washington had the same
number Of arrests that London
has, In proportion to its size,
then the number of arrests for
drunkenness in Washington would
only be about or 8 per day or
say 80 per week.
