registers the pulse beats per min

he can imbibe more with impunity
Mr.. Haggerty and his friends
think that a federal law should be
passed requiring all users of alcO-

sight and to make it a misdemeanor
to supply liquor to anyone when
the booze-ometer flashes the dan
ger signal.
This would obviate drunkenness
and make prohibition regulation un.
necessary.
