Evidence was given that in the early hours of one Sunday morning Lewis was engaged which was nine feet deep and stood skimming yeast from a vat of beor three feet from the floor lovel There was about a foot of yeast on the surface of the liquor.

But though the num- tci of women sent to prison was comparatively small, there were in this small group many outstanding instances of the ineffectiveness of intonces of imprisonment.

LONDON'S LOWEST BIRTH RATE.

WORSE, THAN IN THE WAR YEARS.

The birth rate in London during 1920 was the lowest ever recorded. The total of 70,089 births was fewer by 587 than in 1918, when the in- fluence of the war was at its height. These facts are revealed in the annual report of Dr. F. N. Kay Menzies, Medical Officer of Health and School Medical Oficar for the
