Year's Expenditures Would Pay Half of John Bull's Debt v

I to United States

BY MILTON HKONNKH. London, Aug. 9.—During last year

the people of the, British IsleB hav* spent for liquor about half the sura Great Britain owes the United States.

George Wilson, secretary of the United Kingdom Alliance, estimates the amount spent by the British peo­ple for drink last year at 469,713,000 pounds, or approximately two billion dollars.

John Bull owes Uncle Sam $4,271 000,000 for money borrowed 'during the w.ar. Not even the interest has been paid on that, to say nothing of the principal sum.

Of this vast sum spent in drink, Wilson said he estimated 143,961,000 pounds went for spiiits, 294,159,000 pounds for beer, 30,318,000 pounds fo wines and 1,275,000 pounds for other intoxicants.

There were 57,948 convictions for intoxication in 1919 and $j>,763 last year, of whom 15,425 were women. And British police are far more leni ent than our police were with drunk­en people.

For over a year now many of the newspapers have been agitating for longer hours of opening of the sa­loons and drink places.,

Under the present restrictions sa­loons may be open only eight hours a day.

If yo$ want to quench your thirst after 8 at night, the only place you can do it is in a saloon or restaurant or hotel. You can't buy any 'soft drinks elsewhere, nor ice cream soda. You can get fruit or candy. All these shops are shut by law at 8 o'clock.

YOUTH MUST NOT TOUCH GUN AGAIN

Dickinson,'N. D., Aug. 10.—Twelve-year-old Christ Doll, who, in trying to take away a shotgun from his playmate, Peter Lehert, 16, acci­dentally.. discharged the weapon, al­most instantly killing the latter, must never touch a gun again, if he would avoid being sent to prison. Such was the sentence pronounced by Walter Sterland, juvenile commission­er for this district, before whom Het­tinger county authorities brought young Doll on a charge of murder.

Doll says Lehert playfully pointed the gun at him with the joking re­mark that hp would shoot if Doll did not remain and play. He asserts that his (Doll's) sister was accidentally killed some years ago by a gun "that wasn't loaded" and fearing Lehert would pull the trigger, he rushed in and tried to take the gnn away, and then occurred the very opposite of the accident he was trying to avoid.
