Show Britons Take to Tubs Evidence that the Englishman is taking more baths is given in the current issue of the Geographical Review, official publication of the American Geographical society, which attributes a gradual increase in the use of water in England, also to the fact that more automobiles are being washed in that country. The average Englishman uses about 35 gallons of water a day, Brysson Cunningham, author of the article, states, while the average American uses over 100 gallons going go-ing in some places, such as Chicago, Chica-go, as high as 200 gallons. "There is a decidedly upward tendency in British use," Mr. Cunningham wrote. "More water is required for baths and the washing of motor mo-tor cars. An increase is expected of 20 gallons a head within 20 years " Forty years from onw some authorities believe the Englishman will ba using as much as 80 gallons gal-lons of water a day. |
