CELEBRATES 104TH BIRTHDAY CHARTHAM, England, July 28. Mrs. Louisa Larrett, who is celebrating her 104th birthday, today confidently told reporters that she does not allow her son he is 86 watch her take a drink. "I dont think it right for a son to see his mother with a whiskey bottle," she said. "I have always been able to keep him away from the temptation of hard liquor." Mrs. Larrett, who is allowed half a bottle of whiskey a week by the public assistance committee, takes a "wee drap" ihree times a day without letting her son know. The unsuspecting son, James, has this to say: "Ma allows me out in the evening once a week so long as I am back by seven."
