Clive,
What you are seeing is not a subtitle() but a note(). Take a look at the
diagram in [G] page 501.
The solution is:
twoway (line ldeath lpop) (line ldivorce lpop), xtitle("") ///
ylabel(6(1)13, angle(0)) xlabel(11(1)17) ///
scheme(s2mono) by(region, note("") )
^^^^^^^^^^
In Mitchell's book, take a look at the third example, page 153.
