Uncommon Sense
By John Blake
HOUSEHOLD "GOATS"

IN NEARLY every large family there
is ole person who is tacitly recog
nized rs the household goat"
Often this person is the mother,
sometimes an elder daughter. Nearly
always the role is filled by a woman,
because women have to stay around
the house. The male members of the
family, soon or late, break away from
the net of domestic restraint.
On the goat" devolve all the irk
some and disagreeable tasks that have
to be done. If the family is in mod
crate circumstances she looks after
the children and does the housework.
If the family is anluent she entertains
the dull guests and does everybody
else's shopping.
She is always generous and self
sacrificing and accomplishing And
for that reason she is always i'm
posed upon.
Because she does not make fuss
when her feelings are hurt the other
members of the family conclude tlpt
her feelings cant be hurt. They love,
her, of course. But they never stop to
think that their love ought to take
some tangible form.
Custom can harden us to great
many things That is why loving
family can see one of its members
unjustly treated day after day and
do nothing about it.
The mere fact that 1t is the Gus
tom to overlook the victims wishes in
everything finally comes to be consid-
cred an excuse for doing so.
Family tyranny is not often con-
sclous tyranny. 1t is just thoughtless-
ness.
But it is tyranny all the same.
And the vicious part of it is that
the more the victim submits to 1t the
greater the tyranny becomes.

Phillips Carlin, noted broadcaster visiting

show in the Minneapolis auditorium, brings
word that the days Of the wise-cracking an

If Mr.. Carln is aiming sly rap at some Of

then let us applaud. But if he really means
that such masters of the microphone az himself

hereafter to bare announcements of the artists

ruin radio program by unsuccessful attempts

Medical Association and of Hygeia,

A fool driving a motor car is a
menace to every one and every
thing he passes. He is bad enough
when in full possession of such
sense as he has; when under the
influence Of alcohol he may do un-
told injury.
As indicated by Godfrey Carter,
charged with examining all arrest
ed persons in Sheffield, England, to
determine their competency, safe
motoring depends upon a clear and
alert mental outlook. When driv-
ing, quick and accurate decisions
are necessary. Judgment must be
immediate and certain.
Brain Centers
Since the higher brain centers
are the first part Of the nervous
system to be affected by alcohol
they may become disturbed long be-
fore the grosser co-ordinations Of
the body are involved. Intoxica.
ton is matter Of degree but police
officers and courts are not likely tc
declare man drunk until he has
lest all sense Of reason or balance.
Experiments carried out in thu
laboratories Of Sheffield University
showed that the concentration Of
alcohol in the blood was an indica-
ton Of the state of drunkenness.
In a consideration Of the views
Of DR.. Carter, it was pointed out
that the concentration of alcohol in
the breath may also be determined
and that 1t approximates closely
that of the blood.
Some persons are affected by
much smaller quantities Of alcohol
than are others and it is therefore
necessary for the courts to take
into account the reactions Of the
person arrested as we'll as the
amount Of alcohol that he may have
imbibed. Not infrequently the
shock or excitement Of being ar
rested serves to steady the person
to q condition much different from
that at the time when the accident
occurred.
Excitement
Prof. J. T. ]. Morrison Of Bir-
mingham found that the person who
had INDUCED too freely in alcohol
was likely to fall into q profound
slumber within ~ minutes after
being placed in the cell.
This reaction serves to show
whether the person arrested is suf-
fering from shock or excitement
or from actual intoxication. The
excited person is likely to be too
much excited to fall asleep soon
after being placed in the cell.
