Bribery Has Become Common.

As the days of law enforcement wear on their weary way these things still stand out. Bribery of public off cials influenced in liquor matters has become common enough to not excite any special alarm; smuggling of inn ported liquors over coast routes keeps up in undiminished volume; liquor Heats are increasing their areas of op- erations against opposition from Gov ernment craft that is practically neg ligibIe; illicit disti11ing is growing at a startling rate; and bootEegging has taken on something of the earmarks Of achievement, legal or otherwise, if one judges alone the ease with which boot1eggers defeat the processes of the courts and the aims of flaw enforcers.
 The whiskey handlers have kept the wh1skey avenues open, and probably even the prohibition chiefs can only guess, with their limited facilities for detecting the sources, just how much illicit lquor is flowing over the coun- try. None have arisen to deny many of Prohibition Commissioner Haynes's statements that less liquor is used since the saloon days or that the health record of the country is better, the death rate less and that parhaps the former drinkers are more pros

|U. s. ARMY OF LIQUOR DRINKERS
 IS 2,500,O0O, SAYS FEDERAL AGENT
Nations Prohibition Enforcers Estimate That IT. 900 Alcohol Addicts Have Quit-Ilicit DistiIiing Is Growing At Alarming Rate

days there were 2anOo,ooo liquor drinkers in the United States. He fig ured that 17,500,000 drinkers have quit. And he believes that of those who now find it possible or practi- cable to fnbibe in beverage intoxi- cants, those of that class are consum- ing only 5 per cent. of the quantity they were accustomed to drink in the pre-Drof1ibItion days
 When the rosy reports of 'tdry'' di- rectors go into the filing cabinets and tours of personal observation are made it has not required officials long to discover that the country has far to go before a state of dryness that prohibition enthusiasts had hoped for can be an actual fact.

Fairfield To
 Have Ambulance

The ambulance belonging to the State Guard, which is now d1Sbanded, has been turned over to the town of Fairfield through Dr. David B. Wa son, former commander of the med ical unit of the guard. The a-mbu- lance is fully equipped and is in good condition.
 It was turned over to the Fairfield authorities yesterday afternoon and is now at the Post Road garage where 1t will be stationed It will always be at the service Of doctors and nurses Of Fairfield and man will be at the garage ready to drive it in case of an emergency call
 The ambulance will be maintain ed by popular subscription. enough 4 ,oney having been collected to run 1t for 9 year. In time the town will be obliged to support the ambulance. Much credit goes to Health Officer Poole who worked unceasingly to get the ambulance for Fairfield. Town authorities were inclined to laugh at the idea of Fairfield having an ambu- lance, saying that in an emergency case the Bridgeport ambulance would do, but with the new ambulance the town will be saved a great deal of money.

 But against this admission, it must be remembered that Commissioner Haynes recalls that in the old wet

Attempted Own Life.

Believed to have been Respondent over various matters stephen Mills of Southport. attempted to end his life yesterday afternoon by drinking iodine, and only after strenuous eff forts on the part of Dr. William H. Donaldson was his life saved. Mills had taken a large quantity of iodine before any members of his household knew what he was doing and the eff feet of the poison was beginning to take effect. A hurry call was sent for Dr. William H. Donaldson, who inm ediately responded.

A report that the Board of Educa- ton at it's meeting Monday night passed a resolution making vaccina- ton compulsory among school ch1l- dren was denied today by Sheriff Sim con Pease, president of the board.
 What we did pass" said Sheriff Pease, twas a resolution which said that if in the Iopinion of the health officer, he thought it necessary, all children in Fairfield schools who have not been vaccinated would be excluded from school after February l." But the danger of the smallpox epidemic assuming any shape in Fairfield is re-
 garded as very doubtful Over 800 children in the grade schools of the town have already been vaccinated in the clinic at Holland Hill school No cases of smallpox have appeared ' Fairfield as yet. At the meeting of the school board immediately after the appearance of the disease in Bridgeport, a resolution was passed urging all school children to be vac cinated and as the majority Of children thave been vaccinated it probably will not be necessary to enforce the new ruling.
