Twenty years ago, DR.. Price

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 6.-Drunk-

such a menace on the streets OF
this city that Safety Director Bor-
land. has issued an order to the
police ITO exert extra vigilance in
detecting and arresting them.
Following the death last week of
one man, believed to have been
killed by a drunken driver and left
lying on street in the early hours
of the morning, and innumerable
arrests of drunken drivers, com
plants have been numerous, and
the city is thoroughly aroused over
the matter. Within twenty-four
hours there have been several con-
Vtctions and jail sentences of
drunken drivers. One negro mail
truck driver, who is alleged by
police to have been drunk, is said
to have attempted to shoot the po-
liceman who arrested him. warning
the officer to not interfere with
Government property"
Hereafter, the safety director
states, ''zig.zaggers" will be shown
no leniency, and he may ask city
council to consider a more drastic
ordinance to supplement the State
law.

b. InternatIonaI Ne,ws eervlee.

GLASGOW. Oct. Scotland viii
witness 4 bitter liquor fight be-
tween now and the end OF the year
"Wets" and ."Drys" have already
put their forces in battle array,
and are sparing neither money nor
effort in an endeavor to win.
In similar fight three years
ago the Prohibitionists were de-
feated. On this occasion they are
hopeful of success, and this is
making their adversaries work all
the harder.
The struggle cakes place under
the auspices of the Scottish Tenn
perance Act. This provides that If
the sanction of 10 per cent of the
electorate is secured the town
clerk of the district is bound to in
stitute a poll which will decide
whether the locality favors:
1. Complete prohibition.
2. Modified sale of drink.
8. Unrestricted powers to saloons
to sell liquor.
In the town area 81 out OF a
total Of 346 had polls. Thus there
was voting in 572 areas through.
out Scotland. In the towns %
districts voted mo saloons" 70
were for limitation, and the re-
mainder for mo change" In tire
country districts IA were for mo
saloons" nine for limitation and
23S for mo change" 1
The result was that about $50
saloons were liable to extinction.
BY appeals to the courts, however,
these figures were subsequently
considerably reduced.
For the coming fight both sides
have built up strong organizations
and there is no lack of campaign
funds. Already the streets are
filled with election banners and
posters, soap box orators occupy
every street corner, and newspa-
pers are deriving revenue from cleo
ton adertising.
But the difference in the present
fight is that, where In the elections
Of 1920 the liquorites were on the
defensive, it is they who are at
lacking this time. Three. years of
strenuous canvassing and lobbying
have undoubtedly strengthened
their position, and they express
themselves as confident OF Wi2ing
out any previous defeats.
