Asserting that human welfare condi-
tions have improved remarkably in the
districts In Scotland which are dry, the
National Citizens Committee of Glasgow
is now planning formidable offensive
against drink. The prohibition workers
believe that considerable ground already
has been gained. and say that they are
stronger than ever for the 1928 cam
paign against public license.
Striking facts which compare favor
ably with statistics from America re-
garding the beneficial effects OF pro-
hibition in certain areas in Scotland will
be used in the coming fight. Some dis
tricts in Scotland have been dry since
1920. and regarding this the reports OF
prohibitionists say:
The island Of Lewis practically has
been made sober. The no license reso-
luton has been an unmixed blessing 20
Stornoway. Queues waiting for the
opening of drinking bars and the bands
Of noisy, quarrelsome young men who
used to parade the streets no longer are
seen. Cases Of drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct are now very rare. The
prison and police cells of the island OF
Lewis are empty, crime Is all but I'M
known"
Lerwick reports: "Since the no IL
cense resolution came into force only
six persons charged before the courts
were the worse for drink when the Of
Tense was committed. This is as COM
pared to seventy-four similar cases in
misery there is cleanliness happiness
and contentment." This report is from
Gordon Emile, chief constable.
Orkney reports: There has been
almost a complete absence OF crime of
any kind committed by persons under
the influence of liquor since the no IL
cense resolution came into force In this
country. The benefits derived from
temperance cannot be overestimated."
Superintendent OF Police Robert
Wood.

ton, reports: Children go about the

with the fact that whisky making Is one

with figures Of Californis's prosperity

Alarmed over the frequency with
which French juries. after delivering a
verdict, have been expressing the belief
that they made a mistake. a group OF
lawyers no longer members OF the
French bar have decided to form schools
for Jurors. They have invited all per-
sons who have served on juries or who
are likely to be "slled for duty at the
forthcoming assizes to attend.
Recent criminal cases are responsible
for this movement. A Jury having SEN
fenced several bandits realized after the
verdict has been passed by the judges
that they made a mistake by having sent
an accoxnplice to the guillotine and let
off the ringleader Of the gang.
The school about to be established will.

Jurors and, second. will point out the
Importance Of the replies to questions
put TO them by the prosecution. The
most recent case of a mistaken verdict
comes from Brittany, where O. 10-year-
old girl was at first sentenced to death
for the murder OF a young school friend.
although the prosecution only asked for
a prison sentence. The Jury had to be
sent back TO deliberate further and

to the public in the future and exhibit
their works in the street. as is done an

destine bookmakers. Attached to q
brigade whose duty It was to find. ar
rest and prosecute bookmakers. they
were caught accepting bets over the
counters Of cafes and hairdresserc es-
adjustments in the city.
The policemen are alleged to have col
laborated with the bookies by bringing
them bets and money. Since the two
were arrested, other policemen have
offered their designations. II being pre-
sumed that they also were connected
with the scandal. Warrants have been
issued for the arrest OF booknakers on
charges OF corrupting the police and
minor functionaries-
While a certain amount OF discredit
necessarily must fall to the police force
of the capital, it is pointed out that on
account of heavy losses suffered during
the war, the ranks of the Paris police
have been reinforced with men OF strong
physique but not always elevated NOR
ais. The past record Of these men was
not always obtainable, many Of them
hailing from the liberated regions OF
France, where all records were destroyed
during occupation by the enemy. Un-
able to find work there. they journeyed
to Paris and offered their services to the
police.

of official bets in pari-mutuel booths at
the track goes into State Golfers. II Is
estimated that ut the lowest more than

1t is we'll known that there arc hun

head of important organizations. which
send out daily scores Of employees to
collect slips and money from cafe
counters. Such employees usually re-
ceive big commission while some to-
day are wealthy men, owning racehorses
themselves.
Not only do the bookmakers cause a
serious loss to the Government, but it

II has been customary In Paris TO
employ cumbersome horse carts for
carrying refuse Of all kinds out OF tho

slow and often hold up traffic at i'm
portant points. Should tho subway
refuse trains prove successful II is sug-
gested that after the morning rush
specially constructed wagonets could be
used for the speedy delivery OF goods
which are otherwise delivered by slow
going horse drawn vans.
