•Isted through tlte years 1915, 191(1,
1917 and 1918. The tutu I number of
convictions fur drunkenness In Kug

The reaetlon. It Is pointed out, be

It gathered force enrly In the year
1919. and from March onward the ttg

the preceding month by percentages
which were never less than five ami

Some of the Reasons.
In some general comments on the
statistic» of drunkenness the report
States ;
There t* In these records of convic
tion* for drunkenness and the move
ments shown therein a great wealth of
material for research Into the problem
of public drunkenness mid Its causes,
consequence* and cure. Hut the en
terprise Is long and dlttleult. and. to
f.e suisessftll. ought to march with
practical administrât Ion and experi
ment. More or less superilclul manip
ula tt on of the ligures nod facts on
pn|*»r has all the dangers and sterility
of mere speculation. Out of the many
•nd various contributory olrcutn
atanres It Is nltmo-t Impossible and
extremely unsafe to Isolate this one
or that one, or this or that group, and

he nt uted un follows: There were more
men ut home, and fewer of them In j
khaki, more policemen (and those less
overworked) available for street duty,
more hours for drinking, more (and
stronger) liquor, more light In the
streets, more money, more leisure, less
self-control, less appreciation of the
fact that drunkenness ''matters" now
the war Is over, less readiness to
realize that the progress toward gen
eral sobriety won during the war ought

lack of adequate equipment for driv

Of the fl7.lM8 convictions ln 1919.
53.021. or 98 per cent, occurred In po
lice districts wholly within the opera
tion of the Central Control Hoard's re
strictions, 3,704 In districts partly wlth

In districts entirely beyond their

from the mouth of the Severn to ttie

Northern England (with a population
of about 77 per cent of the total for
England and Wales) Recount for 5.8,
920. or 98 per cent of the total con
victions, Greater London Nhovvlng
about 20 per cent of population and 30
per cent of convictions and Northern
England 57 per cent of population and
57 |ier cent of convictions for 1919
were 107.0 per cent In excess of those
for 1918, ami Northern Epgland 1
■showed an Increase of on perl cent ;
hut the December figure for Northern
England was Just over live times as

London December figure w«s less than
four times ns great.
Tables are given showing the con
victions of men ami women separately
for each month of 1919. Of the total
number HI per cent, or 40 705 convic

per cent to women. In relation to the
estimated number of persons of 21
years of age and upward In 1919. the
figures represent for men 50 per 10,
000 , and for women nine per 10 . 000 .
The figures for men are more than
twite as numerous as (hose recorded
In 1918. viz.. 21,853, and exceed the
total for 1917, viz,, .81,10.8; those tor
women exceed the t!MH total of 7 222

Increase was continuous, with slight

than the highest previous total. It
Is estimated that during the year 1919
the number of registered clubs In
creased hy upward of 900, and passed
the previous highest totnl—that of
8,902 on January 1, 1915. The Increase
would appear, states the report, to he
due In some degree to the revival of
clubs which fell out of existence dur
ing the war, and In greater degree to
the Institution of new clubs to meet the
desire of large numbers of men to
maintain associations formed during
service with the forces In the war.
There were In England and Wales on
January 1. 1919, some 84,044 premises
licensed for the sale of Intoxicating
liquor on or off the premises, and 22,
288 off-llcenses, giving proportions, ac
cording to the estimated population,
or 22.41 on licenses and 5,94 off-llcenses
per lO.fKMl persons. The full figure of
on-llcenses showed a decrease upon tlie
year of 000. In the ten years 1895 to
1904 the average annual decrease was
.880. For the fourteen years 1905 to
1918 the average was 1,102. and during
1919 the decrease will prohnbly prove
to have been about 000, making an
annual nvernge for the tlfteen years
since the Act of 1904 came Into oper
ation of about 1,009, and leaving a
total of about 88,488 on-licenses at the
beginning of the yenr 1920. The de
crease In the number of off-llcenses
during 1919 will probably prove to
have been about 84, compared with
185 during the preceding twelve
months.
The number of licensed premises
closed since January 1. 1905. when the
Licensing Act, 1904, came Into opera
tion. Is 10,094, and the new licenses
granted (154, inak'ng the total net de
crease of licensed premises over the
period IO.IMO. The number of licenses
extinguished with compensation In
1919— mimel.v, 498—while higher than
the figures for 1910. 1917 and 1918. ts
only half the average for the years
preceding the war—1905 to 1914. The
loss of efficiency In this method of
abolishing redundant licensed premises
Is due mainly to two causes, viz., (a)
failure on the (»art of the compensa
tion authorities to raise the funds
authorized hy the act. and (b) In
crease In Lie cost of the licenses.
Dining the year 1.4,*9 license holders
were prosecuted and there were 989
convictions. In 1918 the figures were
appreciably greater, being respective

Y OU cannot think of any' hing much
prettier to dunce In .than this
(lower-like frock, which might he made

of either satin or taffeta—with the
something Joyous In tlte crispness of
this particular silk that endows every
frock mntle of It with a certain buoy
ancy and the looms turn it out in ex
quisite shades of every color under
the sun. No other silk is so tract
able when bouffant and spirited drap
eries are needed. But smooth, lus
trous satjns have advantages vvhen
supple silks are required to carry out
the Idea In the mind of the designer.
The lovely party frock, shown In
the picture, revenls a new Interpreta

Concerning Blouses
&g£
r
A
/!
T IE fashion reporter, like the Athe
nians, is nlwnys looking for some
thing new. and the search, in so far
ns blouses are concerned, is a little
discouraging just uow\ Designers ap
pear to think without ceasing in terms
of georgette crepe—any other materi
als, get only un occasional scrap of
their attention, and these georgette
blouses merely provide the thDine if
embroidery for discussion ; hut that
they furnish in endless variations. A
very new and promising departure
points in the direction of taffeta
blouses in plain colors, toned up with
plaid and striped ribbons und the time
will soon arrive when the annual pro
cessions of lingerie blouses will pre
sent themselves in anticipation of the
needs of southern tourists.
Meantime embroidered georgette
blouses parade the work of the needle
woman or of machinery that under
takes to do the work of deft fingers.
Blouses nnd smocks are classed to
gether and a discussion of one in
eludes the other. The smock (or
blouse with a peplum) shown in the pic
ture. has the familiar round ueok and
the plain girdle of georgette that ties
In front. But it boasts an unfamiliar
pattern In embroidery, employing two
colors, and unusual sleeves, long and
flaring at the wrists. The checker
board embroidered border and the mo
tif at the center are quaint and child
satin straps over the shoulders. Bod
ices are growing higher and short
sleeves gaining favor In every fashion
center, and at this rate we'-shall ar
rive at the square neck nnd elbow
sleeve mode before long. There never
was anything prettier or more becom
ing.
Short draperies at each side lead up
to high loops of satin at the hack
of this frock and they are reminders
of the bustle mode. The moderately
wide girdle Is ornamented with a love
ly cluster of roses made of satin rib
bon. nnd mounted at the left side.
Some dance frocks have no girdles,
their plain quaint bodices ore extend
ed a little below the waistline, overlap
ping the top of the skirt and are
"crushed," that Is slightly wrinkled
about the waist. Garlands of satin
flowers or of vividly-colored satin
fruits, as grapes, little apples, cher
ries, make the prettiest girdles that,
ever were to encircle the waist In
place of a sash. Where so colorful
and important a decoration as this ts
used, the skirts are without drapery
but are very full and have wide hems
ish anti are confined to the neck and
sleeves.
A new rival of the georgette blouse
appears In the pretty taffeta Jacket,
made of plain silk and ornamented
with plaid or striped ribbon that Is
selected to harmonize with It and to
brighten lt up. Small silk covered
buttons, painstakingly set on in neat
rows, are one means by which these
ingratiating new arrivals make them
selves engaging, hut they are sure of
a welcome anyway. Occasionally a
handsomely embroidered blouse of
cantr-u Invites us to consider Its ele
gance and to forget Its extravagant
price. The taffeta blouse Is different
In character and, hy comparison. It is
modest in price, because It requires
little handwork. It points in the di
rection of high necks nnd long sleeves
