CHICAGO, September 15.-A new.
simple finger-prick test for alcoholic
intoxication was reported to the Ameri-
can Chemical Society today
AS purely incidental finding while
proving up this test, the report told Of
three men and one woman who drank
four bottles of 80 beer in Is minutes,
on empty stomachs. The alcohol In
their blood, coming from the beer.
proved to be less than half the volume
which causes intoxication. 1t was just
about enough to cause a sensation Of
warmth for a person in a warm ROOM
The new test was devised to give a
quick, painless method Of test
ing alcohol in the system, to replace
the usual blood tests. which take enough
blood to be painful to most persons
The finger-prick technique requires only
two drops.
The same test can be used also in
diagnosis of diabetes. For that dis
ease it shows the amount of acetone in
the blood. For diabetes likewise the
method Is easy and quick.

Modernizing the Coast Guard.

Note on Army Posts.
From the Baltimore Sun.

FROM the Baltimore Sun.
There have been many attempts in
the past to consolidate Army posts and
redistribute our military forces in &C
cordance with the dictates of economy
and military science. Such attempts
have invariably collapsed before the
opposition of localities bent on main
tanning the present distribution. which
Is based on politics and log-rolling
Now President Roosevelt comes for
ward with new proposal to eliminate
some so Army posts and to centralize
our military forces at some so addi-
tlonal posts at which extensive new
buildings would be erected on per-
manent and prudent basis. If the ad-
ministration is to get ahead with this
new effort, it will need to take the
bull firmly by the horns and defy crit
lcism and local opposition while push
opposition at the moment. for the rea-
son that the details of the new Army
post program are still shrouded in off,
clal secrecy
But once the names of the posts to
be eliminated are published, the hue
and cry to save them will reverberate
through the land The President and
his advisers will have to turn a deaf
ear to such local appeals. and proceed
with courageous disregard of political
influence and congressional pressure if
the program is to achieve its goal
Success IS much to be desired. and if
the President accomplishes what he has
set out to accomplish in the case of
the Army, he might appropriately try
the same tactics with respect to navy

"Old" Men.

Statisticians say that, since the gen.
eral population is increasing and the
average duration of life is lengthening
there. are larger number Of "old" men
in the world today than ever before in
the history of the human race. The
circumstance, surely, is one about which
there may be universal rejoicing.
Time was, presumably, when there
were only a few individuals fortunate
enough to survive the hazards and
perils of infancy, childhood and youth
when only exceptionally lucky men at
tanned what the poet Browning wisely
considered the best of the earthly
pilgrimage. Possibly, there is an ex-
PLANTATION in this fact for the reverence
which in ancient times commonly was
paid to the aged. One of the Ten Com
mandments expresses the conception,
and the same thought is to be found
in the primitive literatures of India
and China.
But in the twentieth century the ira
ditional attitude toward seniority has
suffered a change: and there have been
many, including the eminent physician,
Sir William Osler, and the famous play
wright, Bernard Shaw, who have pre-
tended to imagine that persons past
the meridian are useless and hopeless.
When the World War broke out in 1914
there was a propaganda to place the
blame for the catastrophe on the "old"
men. No one bothered to remember that
Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar,
Napoleon and long list Of other cele-
brated war-makers had demonstrated
that mischief making Of that kind is no

Deplores Suggestion
OF Hubbell's ''Magic''
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
was surprised in reading your edi-
torial on 'Washington's Third PEN
nant" that your paper has succumbed
to the Hubbell legend Speaking of
Cronin's men in the coming contest,
you say. THE chief question appears
to be whether they can master the
curves Of the Giants leading pitcher" "
and then you proceed to ask, "Is there
some magic in the delivery of Hubbell
to offset their seemingly greater skill
as team?"
This magic" may be something that
the press agents of the Giants are con-
juring with. If they can make Cronin' S
batters believe that there is such
magic" in Hubbell's curves, they will
have half of the battle won, for it will
be the mental attitude of the batter
that determines whether it is to be a
strike or hit. If Terry's press agents
fears of magic curves" he will take
home the base ball bacon.
Instead of spreading fears of magic"
curves the Washington base ball writer's
should be disseminating the courage of
hard hitting, no matter who pitches
the balls. The championship. want
to repeat, will be somewhat determined,
if not largely, by the mental attitude
Of the players. "As a man thinketh so
is he" Is true of base ball players also.
The Washington papers can help to
create the right psychology for victory.
A cork-screw ball has never been
pitched outside of an insane asylum.
Let no Washington paper succumb to
a clever and persistent propaganda of
fear on the part the Giants. Do not
make a boyle man of Hubbell.

Another Unknown Hero Honored.

The American people have another
shrine, which should draw them by
thousands in expression of respect and
honor to an unknown hero. The other
day there was formally presented to the
American Numismatical Society in
New York City gold medal which was
struck to commemorate the socking of
His Piscatorial Majesty the Kingfish of
Louisiana. The fund for this token was
raised by public subscription. inspired
by the episode in Long Island club
August 26, 1888, in which the senior
Senator from Louisiana and an uniden-
tified person figured, and from which
the Senator emerged with a badly
bruised eye and his assailant with
anonymous honor. The one who de-
livered the blow that blackened the
senatorial eye not having come forward
to claim the medal, it was suggested
that this token of public acclaim for
deed done in private as the medal
itself relates be given an appropriate
place in the collection of the Numis-
matical Society. So now it rests there
in a separate case near the medal
which was presented by Congress to
the three captors of Major Andre in
1880. 1t tells its own story, as far as
that story can go. The symbolism of
the design is explicit. Within a framed
circle is depicted a fist striking the head
of kingfish. whose crown is flying off.
wash basins and faucets forming a
realistic background. The president of
the society, after the simple ceremony
of presentation, when asked whether
the unknown hero If subsequently iden-
titled could claim this token of public
appreciation, said:
1t was presented to the society in
default Of the appearance of the un-
known person who struck Senator Long
He may come here and inspect it If he
wishes, either with OK without ldenti-
fication. but it is now the property OF
the society. 1t was accepted as rec
ord of a spontaneous expression of the
American people and it will be pre-
served for its future historical value.
1t is now a closed incident.
And yet not altogether closed, per-
haps, for that medal may be token
of the beginning of political revolu-
ton which will eliminate the Kingflsh
from further public view.
