And, on (he other fide. New York had the biggest drop in the number of who drank themselves to death in 193-1. The 10 that had the biggest gains in Jhe number of deaths from alcoholism between 1933 and 1931 were California, Georgia, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia. Numerically.

Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Ohio led, the two former having 55 such deaths, each, more than they had in 1933 and Ohio a gain of 5-1. Georgia, North Carolina Oklahoma nnd Texas were still dry in 1934. the four. Texas thus far is the only one thai has legalized the sale of hard liquor. Three Lead In Decline New York, Kentucky and Wisconsin wire the three suites that had the biggest drop in dentils from alcoholism.

New York had Gl fcwper than in Kentucky 23 fewer and Wisconsin 18 fewer. In addition to these three, 12 other slates and the Dislricl of Columbia had slighl drops in the number of deaths ascribed to alcoholism. The 12 were Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon. Rhode l.sland, South Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee and Utah, Maryland and Mississippi had the same number of deaths attributed to that cause in both years.

All others showed gains. The national increase wa.s the total for 1934 being 3,655. Figures on which to base a calculation of the death rate for 1934 from Ibis cause were not available, but the bureau found that in 1933 the deaths ascribed to this cause were 2.G per hundred thousand of population. That was the year that ended prohibition and brought beer back.

In a momentous six to three decision, the high tribunal killed the extraordinary New Deal farm relief plan under which over a billion dollars had been paid to men of the soil since May, 1933. The act, even as amended last August, held the "invasion of the states rights" and its taxes beyond "general welfare" clause of the constitution on which the government relied. Justice Stone, Brandeis and Cardozo dissented. The administration planned councils immediately to meet the set back. The ruling Monday appeared likely to doom other farm legislation such as the Bankhead cotton control act and the Warren potato law.
