DRIVES BETTER WHEN DRUNK!
LONDON, Feb. 26. A motorist, who was summoned at Swansea to-day for being drunk in charge of a car, was credited by the police with the observation, "I can drive better when I'm half-drunk than when I'm sober."
Nevertheless he was given two sobriety teats at the police station. He was asked to say, ''The Irish Constabulary succeeded in extinguishing the conflagration." He failed. Then, given a needle and cotton, he threaded the needle after two attempts. The defendant, Albert Ogwen Lewis, aged 32, colliery agent, pleaded guilty. He was fined £lO and his license waa suspended for three years.
