This woman is Clara Whiteley, who, at London, Sessions, was convicted of rubbing a dealer of a wallet containing £101. The judge. Sir Robert Wallace, who has given the woman more than one chance to re- form, shook his head despairingly and re marked to the jury, "I do not know what

The average birth rate per thousand for the past ten years have been 21 during both the first and the second quarters of the year.

But this year the first quarter only saw just over 18), and the second quarter: lol per thousand,

The first quarter of the year thus shows a falling off in births of 321 per cent, over the whole country--and that includes com- parison with the average for the war period, when the birth rate was the lowest for many years.

The fall in illegitimate births is not so great, and only amounts to, roughly, 3 per cent. compared with last year.

But children born were increasingly healthy. The infant mortality was well below the average for the past ten years, and was equal to the lowest rate ever recorded since the establishment of civil registration.
