worn down to your softest conversa-

"Snote no." the clerk of the counter
answers, and you look at him, or her,
and snarl that "itsaylofanote," and
you hear a broken voice admit, "I'll

WOMEN DRINKING MORE NOW
THAN EVER STATISTICS SHOW

Women are drinking more now
than ever before.
And the percentage of alcoholics
among them is increasing even more
rapidly than it is among men.
Especially among older women
drinkers is TIE problem of eventual
alcoholism liable to become acute, ac-
cording to an article why Some
Women Should Not Drink" by Max
inc Davis, noted medical reporter, in
the September issue of Cosmopolitan
magazine.
Two years ago the Yale Plan Clin-
les (for alcoholics) reported that the
percentage of men to women among
their patients was five to one. Last
year DR.. ID. B. Rothman of the NUM-
cipal Court of Chicago, stated that
one third of the city's alcoholics were
women. FBI figures from 1882 to
1914 show drunken driving by
women increased 226 per cent
How tkis increase in women alco-
holics affect the home and future of
the country is shown by the fact that
alcoholic women remain married only
half as long, are separated six times
as frequently and their divorce rate
| is 32 times that of comparabel non
alcoholic women.
''The most conpsicuous character
of women alcoholics is secret drink
ing" the article states in part Long
| before they are actually confirmed
| alcoholics, women often drink alone
The woman who is terrified of parties
discovers that pre-party drink helps
her face an evening of gaiety and
even enjoy it,
Because of the many social tabOos
which force women to drink secretly
their descent into alcoholism is much
| faster than that of men.
| Women who have an alcoholic
tendency become confirmed durnks in
a comparatively short time" the ar
ticle states. ''It usually takes the av-
erage man ten or fifteen years to de-
velop into a full-fedged alcoholic
but a woman, as result of her in
tensive solitary drinking, is likely to
reach the ultimate stages of the dis
ease in fewer years.
| "Women who take up excessive
drinking when they are older become
alcoholics even more quickly thar
those who begin their drinking
careers in their youth. They imbibe
with such gusto that they skip {
number of stages-and years
through which younger women pro
| gress before they become confirmed
inebriates."
Seven clear signposts of danger fol
women drinkers are listed in the ar
ticle as follows: (1) Drinking to OBJ
tain social ease or to overcome feel
ing of inferiority. (2) Drinking to es
cape from worry or troubles. (3)
| Drinking to dispel the "blues." CA
Drinking when overtired to "brace
up" 60 Need for a drink at definite
times through the day. (6) Desire fol

and do recover" the article states

Extreme Right Wing
Gains in BalIoiing in
Two German States
MiddIe-of-Roud Parties
Retoin Their Power,
But Lose Ground
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT, Dec. 2.-Gains
by extreme right wing parties
were shown today in final returns
from yesterdays elections in
which two American-occupied
German states adopted demo-
cratic constitutions and elected
state legislatures which will as
sumo almost complete self-goy-
ernment.
Although the two major middle
of-the-road parties retained their
established leading positions, both
lost ground to minor parties with
strong rightist tendencies. The
Communists, on the extreme left
also gained slightly at the expense
of the two centralist groups, but not
so much as the rightists.
The constitutions establishing
parliamentary forms of govern
ment-were adopted Overwhelmingly
both in Bavaria and Greater Hesse.
Socialization Issue.
Greater Hesse, the mostly highly
industralized and most strongly left
ist of the three American controlled
states, also adopted a separately
submitted constitutional provision
requiring immediate socialization of
basic industries. The Bavarian con-
stitution, like the constitution which
Wuerttemberg Baden adopted a
week ago, permits but does not
compel such socialization.

High British Court Rules
Canada Can Deport laps
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. 2.-The Privy
Council, highest British court, ruled
today that Canadian orders for
deportation of Japanese from Can
ada were valid.
The council dismissed an appeal
made by the Cooperative Com
mittee of japanese Canadians
aaginst deportation orders imposed
on interned Japanese and also on
Canadian or British citizens of Jap
anese descent who had asked to be
repatriated.
OF the 24,000 japanese in Canada,
some 1852 voluntarily had asked
repatriation but by last August,
6,313 had withdrawn the requests.
The Labor Ministry said $3.50 had
been sent to Japan by August How
ever, pending outcome of the appeal
to the Privy Council, the Canadian
government decided there would be
no forcible deportations.
Orders permitting the Canadian
Labor Minister to order the jap
anese deported were passed under
the war measures act and continued
by the transitional act of last Del
cember.

Upholding the use of the bomb

Cities. Responsibility
For Local Problems
Stressed by Truman
Municipal Law Officers
Told SeIf-Government
Must Be Furthered

President Truman today de-
clared local communities should
take increased responsibility for
solving their own problems.
In a message to the National In
stitute of Municipal Law Officers at
the Statler Hotel, the President said
the ability of local self government
which had contributed to the build
ing of American character should
and must be furthered."
The message was read by Institute
President Walter j. Mattison Of
Milwaukee at the close of a lively
discussion on the subject of strikes,
picketing and labor unions of city
employees, during which there was a
wide difference of opinion on
whether or not cities should bargain
collectively with organized labor in
their own city personnel.
The conference, attended by about
200 city law officers from the United
States and Canada, will continue
through Wednesday.
Increasing Responsibility.
President Truman in his letter
said:
"It is evident that the increasing
responsibility of communities In
solving their own problems is a sit
uation much to be desired in our
Nation. Local self-government took
upon itself in our early history the
work of social advances, free edu-
cation and open statutory agree
ments, which contributed so much
to the building of the American
character.

furthered and the record Of your
organization reveals a high stand
