81. 35OVERDCT is GIVEN IN LIQUOR DEATH CASE

Mrs. Anna Tribout Beleville Ill., was awarded s2S5O
damages in Federal Court at East St Louis November
ID, against Stephen Lsch whom she charged caused her
sons death by selling him whisky. The was tried
before Judge Wham and jury.
The evidence showed Mrs. Tribouts two sons William
and Fred Wegescheide, went a drinking party one
night in January 1927, visiting Lschs house in the
of the evening. They later drove out into the
country and found the morning stuck in the
mud Millstadt, H.. William dead and Fred
in dazed condition. Coroners jury decided Williams
death due to acute alcoholism.
Fred Wegescheide testified that the liquor which caused
his brothers death purchased from Lisch.
Both state and Federal prohibition laws provide in
most fusome way for the bringing of civil actions to OBJ
tain damages from liquor law vioators whose sales result
in monetary loss to dependents of drinkers The con-
sttuonality of such provisions has been sustained by
the courts and the procedure hereunder tested and
made definite and certain Particularly in Illinois under
similar provisions of the old Dram shop act the has
been smoothed by the courts for effective action under
this statute.
More vigorous activity in this field would not only
make booze traffic more hazardous undertaking and
give illegal liquor sellers their just deserts but would also
materially strengthen prohibition enforcement.

Gradual Conversion of the Vets

Slowly but surely the vets have been coming to the
point of held by the drys Startling as such state
ment may be- substantiated by the action taken and
statements made by the leaders of the vets during the
past hundred years OF the nine principal programs adj
by the drys in the interest OF the mitigation of the
evils of the beverage alcohol traffic eight of them have
finally agreed upon by the vets, according to their
testimony from time to time during the century OF
the vets have always been at least lap behind
that not do away with the fact that they have

the dryS.
the drys proposed regulation in the early days the
vets opposed regulation and insisted upon the rights

stick maker When the drys advanced to the advocacy of
taxation system the vets declared themselves in favor
of regulation When the drys advocated the strongest
srictons hard liquors, with permission Tor beer and
light Wine the liquor interests opposed that scheme but
claimed to be converted to the whole principle OF rega
ton and taxation When the license system avocat
ed the vets for free beer but in favor OF taxation
and regulation for hard liquors.
When the government control dispensary system
advocated by the drys the vets opposed that but declared
license When the local option system for townships

cal option When the ryS advocated county option the

According to the record of the century, the major pro-
grams for the suppression of the liquor evil presented and

ROOMINESS PROVIDED
IN NEW WHIPPET CARS

For more than year prior to the
public presentation of the new Su-
perior Whippet tours and skies
WHY'S Overland designers and body
experts were working out plans to
provide a car that would establish a
new conception of roominess and COM
fort in the interiors. These we'll laid
plans find their elimination in the
introduction of the new Whippet
models which are definitely character
lied by extra head room, leg room
and elbow room.
With an increased wheelbase in
both the four and six-cylinder models
to work from, the designers took adj
vantage of every available inch of
space. This resulted in production of
the present Whippet fours and skies
which provide maximum roominess
for driver and passengers.
The seats of both Whippets are
wider than those of the former mod
els, deeply upholstered and scientific
cally designed to fit the natural body
curves. Even with three passengers
in the rear seat of the sedan or coach
the rom provided enables each one to
enjoy restful, relaxed positions at all
times.
The use of snubbers, oversize bal
loon tires and the increased spring
length, both fornt and rear, further
materially enchances the riding quail
tiles of these cars.
Several changes in design of the
interiors have made for increased
