reau in 1923. In the small states differ
ence of a few actual deaths may cause a
large difference in death rate Delaware
for instance rose from eleven TO twenty
nine alcoholism deaths between 1927 and
1928. This pushed Delaware's death rate
from 4.5 to 11.9, an enormous increase of
rate. Yet Delaware in 1923 had but thir-
ty-nine alcoholic deaths while New York
with rate of only rs furnished $3.50
deaths or about one-fifth of the whole
number in the United States.
About one-fourth of the Metropolitan
policyholderS in 1926 lived in wet states
of the New York area namely: New
York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey. Statistical Bulletin, July, 1920
The great "standbys" of excessive alco-
holism mortality are not the states Of
sparce or relatively small population in
which a few deaths more or less make
striking changes in rates that may take
them now and then into the list of states
with excessive mortality. 1t is old wet
strongholds like New York, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts that in
their excessive rates and large populations
pile up the alcoholic death losses of the
United States.
DEATH RATE IN CANADA
w. Some of the press make comment
unfavorable to prohibition in the United
States because the Metropolitan Life al
coholism death rates in Canada are far
smaller than here. No theory of eXplana-
ton is offered. The Canadian rate has
always been decidedly lower than that Of
the United States. The difference may be
due to differences in the racial compost
ton of the two sections; it may be due to
the fact that so many of the Metropolitan
policyholders are in great eastern cities,
much larger than the Canadian cities. In
deed New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more alone contain about as many people
as the whole of Canada.
Whatever the reason for this generally
lower rate in Canada comparison of the
mortality of alcoholism in the two coun-
tries throws no clear light on the effect Of
their respective anti-liquor legislation be-
cause this has varied SO much in Canada
during the past twenty years and has been
in effect for such varying periods in the
different provinces

 The Meridcn team failed to score ol come near scoring in the fir&J half while the Burritts. wary of q sudden spurt, collected only nine points. There minutes after the third quarter started. the visitors got their first field basket but this helped them little because they got only two more and three foul shots to give them Il total of nine for the night
 On the other hand. the Burritts, S' nsing that Darrow was enjoying an "on night" kept feeding tho To- cal guard and he kept dropping m hoops with monotonous regularity. The other members of the team co. lcCtcd II points between them ami these would have been enough D win.
 The Insilcos had great rcputl tion before coming here but tn team failed to function at all Satur- day night. The floor play was dis organized and the quintet displayed little team work or pass work. The Burritts. especially in the seconl half, hit top speed and swept through for an easy win.

 The Quallerc. league champions in 1928 and 1929, were at the top of the standing today by virtue of an ,asy 32-24 victory over Dartmouth on Saturday for Penn's second win in as many league starts.
 The only team which possibly can overhaul the Red and Blue this week is Princeton which inaugu- rated it's season with 26-1S triumph over Cornell at Princeton on Saturday. The Tigers will meet Columbia in New York on Wcdnes- day and Dartmouth at Hanover on Saturday night. Victories in the SC two engagements would give Prince ton q record of three victories and no dcicats compared to penn's two and none The odds arc against Princeton achieving those two vic tories. Columbia. which. makes it's hrot league start against the Tigers las a powerful squad and Dart mouth may be much stronger on its home floor than it was against Penn at Philadelphia.
 Two other lcaguc games arc on the schedule this week.
 Cornell meets Yale at New Haven tonight and then the Bulldogs re pay tho compliment by engaging Cornell at Ithaca on Saturday night.
 Yale will be favored to take both games.
