It ls a mark distinctive of our own age that a Mussolini is a water-drinker. Although the history of drinkinB ls the history of enjoyment, still the act does not unfortunately ter- minatg with the sense oi enjoy- ment and well-being. As far as the problem of the liquor traffic is concerned. the important thing is that the history of drinking has to be. in many cases, the history of excesive drinking. In early English limes. although drunken brawling was punished by fines, the stocks. or by other penalties. the chief concern of royal ordinances was to secure beer and ale. cheap, unadul- terated and good. As a result alc- tasters were appointed. Other coun- tries at that time regarded heavy drinking as an English national vice. It would appear. however, that our forefathers were more noted for sluttonous eatins- As early as 1285 "mm. is that of painting 1g u l 5n dafiftdlflion and licenses were given as a reward to d laisses fairs, the Liberal and fladieal aire- lescouldseenoreasonwhybeer abouidnotbeaefreeaabteedor moat. Between 1810 and 1880 the consumption of spirit doubled. By tbsandcfihe icthoenturythe social problem of liquor was fully ' ‘ and its history becomes a bert of the British liquor legis- lation. 1n 100d the Earl of mlfour said: "You will never Ft rid of the pub- lic hous, from this country, and I frlinkly admit it. I do flot think you ought to get 8d of lt. The pub- lic-hoirsa should be kept in such a manner as will make those who fre- quent it obey the law and conform to the dictates of morality." British legislation is primarily concerned with public order and public safe- ty. not with drink as such. This is in striking contrast to the rec- ently discarded A * atfompt at solution. The law. on its positive side. is directed, by a system of 11c- ensihg, towards rendering the sat- isfaction of what may be an inno- cent appetite free in its circum- stances and consequences from so- clal abuses. This attitude involves as much protection to the trade of alcoholic liquors as ‘to any 0th; branch of . . - A b e tlon in licensing legislation has been that the "nature of the Trade is such that only i. of reliable character should be permitted to engage in it. As early as 1662 an act was passed prescribing that there shall be a definite license to sell. Hence from this Act the sys- tem of licensing takes its origin. The excise license for the actual sale of excisable liquor. wholesale or retail. datm from 1710. ‘These two types of license must be sharp- ly distinguished, especially by those accustomed to systems of licensing which ware primarily fiscal rather than directed to public order. Under the Hanover-inns, however. political supporters as a piece of patronagerather than as an exer- cise of public responsibility. The close of the 18th century and the first quarter cf the 19th saw a re- action in policy resulting in the cancelling of ‘licenses and the sup- pression o! superfluous ale-houses. By 1872 the brewer had begun to exert an influence on the appoint- ment of licensees. At the close _of the 19th century the large modern brewery supplanted the old-fash- ioned distiller-lea and smaller brew- eries. Hence thg liquor traffic is. after all, not primarily a moral ccncem for promoting good-fel- owship or an immoral concelfli, malevolenily designed to corrupt the people, but precisely s. great and very profitable business concern. The present system is governed by the Licentlng Consolidation Act of 1910, which, among other things. re-enacts the provisions of the Licensing Act of 1904. This provides for the payment of compensation on the non-renewal o.’ the 11112-1004 11m_CnARi.O’i‘i'E'i'UWN"G17ARDfAN _ T. ed undertakings are eo far not suf- ficiently different from the aver!!! profits of brewery firms to be re- garded es e daclerous inducement to politicians to sacrifice the so- briety of the people to Dteunial’! gain. 1n addition, under Q10 plan of Stats attenuate have beenmaoeto veeveryfeoil- ity for the sale of along with drink. As a result ‘of Btaie Management thg oar-isle City annual consump- tion of spirits between 191i and ma fell from 1.11 gallon per oepite to 0.89 gallons, and in the case of beer the fall has been 1mm 21.2’! gallons to 16.01 gallons. The change is the more important since it was once the custom in Carlisle to follow the habit qf the Norfolk laborer who. being asked whether he preferred beer or spirits. declas- ed that beer mad» him “fu' before he was drunk. and spirits drunk before ho was fu.’ so he mixed 'em" the oarlislc houses and the general fashion in which they are eco- dwted may be regarded as a defl- nitely ‘ infiulnog on 90W- lai- manners. Naturally, however. the Carlisie reforms will not be le- garded in this light by those who believe that the drinking of lrollc liquors, even in mail titles, is inherently vicious and dia- reputable. However. it is highly lis- niflcaht that the more comfortable and respectable sur undlnga of the Carlisle public houses have been estimated to result in takings of 9 1-2d. per head as against an ea- penditure in an unimproved house of is. i-zd. per head. What the future development of British policy will be, it is difficult to forecast. It may, however. be hazarded that an ‘tempt will be made to pass legislation with a view to reducing the temptation to make private profits which may militate. not only against the sobriety. but even against the reasonable oom- fort of the consumer. The question in English legisla- tion is still unsettled concerning whether drinking, as distinct from drukenness. is to be regarded as an; evil. The trend of English opinloni has on the whole been opposed to any such view andtho matter has been regarded as one o: law and public order rather than one of’. hygiene, publio morals, and nation- al emciency.

Moreover. with the reign of William III. came the new popular taste for spirit drinking. The government reduced the HEB-ions. in order to discourage the importation of French and for- eign brsndles, especially as English distlllerles not only kept money in the country but used llmglish bar- ley. Thus a national taste for dia- tllled spirituous liquors was acquir- ior rank. What was done? The government passed the Gin Act of 1736 with the avowed object of making spirits “come so dear to the consumer. that the poor will not be able to‘ launch out into an excessive use of them." This effort of pro- hibitive taxation resulted in general lawbrealring and the amount even of spirits which paid excise rose from 5.601.000 gallons in 1786 to 7.- 160.000 galleria in 1742. Evidently that type o5 law did not work. At this time the theft of any piece o1 property exceeding in value one shilling was punishable by hansins As late as 1001 a boy of twelve was hanged for stealing a spoon, while in i786 one named. Phoebe Harris was burned for ooinial. By 1748 the ill-fated Reform Act (Gin Act) of 173d was replaced by the licensing Act of 1748, which was a measure rather of coloration than of control. The situli-IOII. lWWBVfl. due largely to unaccustomed high wages acquired in new industrial. took a turn for the worse bya re- duction of the eplrlt duty of 1785.

Each decade is pre- ceded by a mystery symbolizing, iirst the Joyous, second the Sor- rowful, and lastly the Glorious events of the life of Our Lord and His Blessed Mother. Mrs. Frank Murray read a very comprehensive paper on the origin of the Rosary, a passage from which 14 to 20. Prices are of penance by members oi the 'I‘hird Order of 5t. Francis of Assisi. Mrs. A- J, Howatt, the Convener, announced mat the subject of dis- cussion of the next meeting would be "Indulgences." A delicious lunch was served by the hostess, assisted by lrer sister, and thus ended one of the most 1n- teresting meetings of the C. W. L. study group. . is quoted as follows: "In i206. 5t. Dominic, founder of the Illustrious Order of Preachers, was preaching M without much success a mission for the conversion of the Albigenses, a heretical sect which had arisen in Southern France and Northern It- aly, when he was instructed by the Blessed Virgin herself to cease his argumentative discourses and teach the people to pray and especially to propagate the devotion of the hos- ary. Boon a wave of faith and piety swept the country, and before Dom- inirfs death, hardly a. vestige of the sect remained." So much for (he power of prayer. Its events, Jks these which seem to justify tnc truth- of the words of the poet, who said, "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of." The description of the Scapulars was taken up also. Miaa King and Mrs, J. B Fleming read descriptive passages about the origin of the Scapularir of Mount Carmel. It was introduced in the thirteenth century by 8t. Simon Stock, a General of the Order of Mount Carmel Monks. It is brown and represents the habit of thistOrder. This is the scapular with which children are invested at the First Conununion. Since 1010 by a decree of Pope Pius XI, it was and can be substituted by a modal. Descriptions of the Five‘ Scapulars were very concisely given by Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Mcltlally. This scapular is generally given I-t sionsandcan alsobesubetitutedby a medal. Mrs. R. J.
