Since the 1st of July the police
Of Nashville, Tenn, have beer
brought face to face with the
"odorless drunk. Men are car.
ried into the station house every
day drunk with something that
leaves no odor on the breath.
When the men themselves are
questioned as to what they have
been drinking, they almost in
variably say "beerette," but beer
cite is not considered an intoxi-
cant. The "odorless DRINKS" ar
rested are usually without bottles
in their pockets, and the usual
answer to queries is that they
bought their drinks by the glass.
There were forty-one DRINKS on
the police docket recently, more
than at any time during the
