FOR ASSEMBLY
Measure to Be Introduced
in Both Houses of
Legislature.

for presentation to the Indiana leg

man, special city counsel; Corpora

OUT new PLAN
TO CURB BOOZE
Law Carries Direct Penal
ties for Drunkenness: No
Ban on Liquor Sale.
BY RAFAEL FUsoNI,


SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 2S.-All
Chile watched with keen interest
today the nations experiment in the
regulation of the sale and conSump-
ton of liquor-a move toward pro-
hibition without a direct prohibitiye
law.
A law has been prepared which
carries direct penalties for drunken
ness and the severest punishment
for men whose duties involve the
lives OF others-such as railway
engineers, taxi drivers and the like
and for liquor vendors who allow
drunkenness in their establishments.
The sale of liquor to men under
20 years old is forbidden by the
law.
Study of the law shows its object
to De a direct attack against alco-
holism which does not attempt to
restrict personal drinking where
temperance is observed.
Fines and short workhouse terms
are included in the practice of the
law against first offenders. Men
over 20 years old found intoxicated
in any public place will be given
one to three days work without. pay
or be fined approximately SIPS per
day.
An offender caught three times
in as many months will be fined APP
proximately $3.50 or spend month
in the workhouse. Fourth Offend
ers within a year may be sent to a
temperance hospital for such a pc
Rod as physicians may decide after
an examination.
Railway engineers and switch
men and the drivers of taxis and
tram cars, found drunk while work.
ing, will be given. severe sentences
even though they have caused no
accident or damage.
Saloon owners who allow drunk
enness in their places or sell liquor
to men under 20 are also pun
iShable by prison sentences.

At the round table conferences are gathered
specialists in the subjects under discussion.
These include persons who are actively handling
the material of the subjects, who are working
in government and other positions toward the
best solution of these problems, and persons
from the universities of the country who are
concerned with study of the actual quality,
nature and interrelationship of the problems.
AS DR.. Raymond Moley, speaker on Law En-
forcement' and "Are the Present Prohibition
Laws Effective?" expresses it: "These meetings
of the institute are link between the govern
ment and the university, between the people
who do the things and those who observe and
theorize upon the doing"
the forum DISCUSSIONS, which any interested
persons may attend, are an opportunity for
general expression of opinion. There is an
opening talk on some current problem, and
afterward questions bearing the talk or re-
lated topics are brought up. ri

Madison Hall, the members go across the
campus to the forum in the auditorium at
Caben Hall. The direct way lies by the
tunda, which is an adaptation of the Roman
Pantheon, and which contains the university
library, and down by the colonnades. This part
of the university was planned by Jefferson. He
wrote in letter to DR.. William Thornton, 1--WE
are commencing here the establishment Of
college, and we propose to lay of square OF
about 700 or 800 feet, on the outside of which
we shall arrange separate pavilions, one for
each professor and his scholars, and between
pavilion and pavilion range of dormitories to be
united by a colonnade in front of the height
of the lower story Of the payilions, under which
they may go dry from school to school,"
The pavilions, for which Jefferson made the
drawings, are adaptations of famous buildings
such as the Baths of Diocletian and the Temple
of Fortuna Virilis., The most impressive view
of the lawns Is at night. Standing in the center
of the lawn, the terraced stretch Of grass around
which the pavilions are grouped one is COM
pletely inclosed by rows of dimly lit white
columns. Light comes family out over the lawn
from behind the pillars on either side the pill
lars of Cabell Hall and of the rotunda.
The evening addresses are delivered in the
Greek Amphitheater, that built in the natural
valley west of Caben Hall, between the Engi-
neering and Law Buildings. Approaching from
the lawn, one passes near the Karl Bitter statue
of jefferson. Speakers stand on the stage Of
the amphitheater, against the background of
Grecian architecture and facing the microphone
that contrasts the modern mode of speech
making.
THE topics this year present varied group
of interests. The subjects considered at the
round table conferences are 1.-THE Country Life

BY WARE TORREY.

HE Institute of Public Affairs held at the
University of Virginia each year. is
unique in that its chief purpose is the
consideration of national and State
problems of immediate Importance. 1t is pio-
neer in its discussion of affairs of national
concern with reference in some instances to
the relation of the South to those affairs.
The university is conducting the institute in
a manner that intimately parallels the concept
of Thomas Jefferson when he planned the
establishment of State university at Char
lottesville. AS Dean Charles Gilmore Maphis,
in charge of the institute, says: THE institute
is in keeping with the spirit of Jefferson. He
wished the university to stand for principles OF
tolerance, freedom of thought and intellectual
strength
DR.. Maphis organized and directed the first
Institute Of Public Affairs in 1927. He had been
interested in the Institute of Politics at Will
Jamestown, Mass, for some time But he be-
Ieyed there was a need for discussion of ma
tional conditions as well as the international
questions stressed at Williams College.
1.-THE people of the United States, DR.. Maphis
saws in explaining his point OF view, ARE more
interested in local affairs than national attalrs
In the institute emphasis Is LAID on national,
State and local matters and the principles un-
DERIVING them. Also, it has been said in the
East and West that the South has a closed
mind that nothing constructive can come from
the South; the fact that the institute is pub
lie forum where all sorts of questions can be
discussed, and is in the South, should have
strong appeal. The institute is for the over
coming of provincial thinking, the encouraging
of national point of view, and it IS to assist
people in thinking constructively and to educate
adults in citizenship"
THE University of Virginia is fitting loca-
= ton for the institute, not only in the kim
ship Of the present work to the policies of JEFF
ferenn hut also in the relationship of the
atmosphere of the place to the spirit of the
meetings There is quiet about the buildings,
with their white pillars and dim red bricks, and
the long lawns and gardens have spreading
openness. 1t is a place to talk and think in
place that suggests the spaced leisure and the
earnestncss of discussion.
There are three divisions Of the institute-the

screamed their neighbors came running to see
what was the matter and the tigers caught
them.
What luck, we thought wistfully, to have a
tiger come scratching at the bamboo, or claw

ever to come true! Then night the con-

It was feeble roof of himsy thatch with
a hole in it that let the rain through, and the
tiger discovered the hole and began induStriouSly
increasing it. Meanwhile the old women
set up wailing of alarm, but they dared not
summon spirit to run out in the night, fearing,
perhaps, the tigers mate. Finally the tiger
made such an opening that he reached down
a long paw into the tiny room and hauled out
a luckless old lady and, in the words of Alice's
fairy stories, he gobbled her up.
