LONDON (#).—The British govern- ment has taxed whisky and other lig- vors so highly that poorer classes are | drinking methylated spirits, despite the ! increasing number of deaths and cases of insanity. It costs about $3 for a bottle of whisky in England, and of this about governmental tax. On the othsr a substantial amount of methyl- ated spirits can be obtained for about 12 cents. That much will cause intoxi- | cation. Many addicts have recently become insane and the British press is begin- i ng to throw the spotlight of publicity on the situation.

President Coolidge attended the spe- cial religious services held yesterday afternoon in Washington Heights Pres. byterian Church, Kalorama and Colur:- bla roads, under the auspices of the Association of Worshipful Masters of 1928, F. A. A. M. It was the intention to hold these exercises in_the groands of Temple Heights, but the rain pre- vented this and brought about a last- moment change in the plans.” The principal address was delivercd by Rev. William S. Abernethy, pastor cf Calvary Baptist Church. He used as his text a verse from Ezekiel, “I sai where they sat” and emphasized th: fact that the application of understand- ing, derived from getting the viewpoint of others, is the only cure for labor dis- putes and family differences. He argued that the gospel of understanding alone will make a tranquil world, and_added that the cause of international difficul- ties has been due to a lack of under- standing. The ceremontes were under the direc- tion of Rev. John C. Palmer, grand chaplain. _ Praygr was offered by Col. Edmund P. Easterbrook, chief of chap- lains, U. S. A., and benediction by Capt. Alfred C. Oliver, jr., chaplain of Walter Reed Hospital. Special music was under the direction of J. Walter Humphreys and rendered by the choir of Luther Place Memorial Church, composed of Mrs. B. H. Smart, soprano; Mrs. Marion Carie, contralto; Raymond D. Fillius, tenor, and Mr. Humphreys, director and basso. Miss Margaret Sykes was accompanist. A Charles A. Baker, Thomas M. Harvey and David J.
