DRIVING WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HYPOGLY-
 CEMTA

So far we have had no response to the call we broadcasted here for a simple yet fairly accurate test of intoxication. any chemist knows of an agent which would indicate the presence of alcohol in the air the suspect breathes through 1t. the chemist prefers to keep the knowledge secret. As there is no legal definition and no medical defi- milton of intoxication, l propose this as a fair test: If alcohol is being excreted through the lungs, that is in the expired air, it proves the individual has taken more al- cohol than he can oxidize or utilize, and surely that constitutes intoxl- cation by any reasonable standard.
 Whether intoxioation is increas- ing I am not prepared to say. But the frequency of police calls to ap- prehend drunken drivers or to pick up trunks is striking when one lis- tens in on the police radio broad cast.
 In London, where plain drunken ness is not so very remarkab ble, they are now arresting persons who drive an automobile while under the influence of insulin.
 For instance, 8 man with good record as a driver drove his car at extraordinarily slow speed between two lines of traffic and collided with three other vehicles on the off side. (That, you know. is the drivers right side-the English are funny that way.) Drivers of the other cars were balIy indignant and one or two of them so far forgot the traditions as to shout at the bl----the bally awss.
 The fellow might have gotten away with it. at that, if he had had the forethought to equip his car with one of those compliment tary police or fire emblems which are so much affected by the upper classes in this country. But he just kept blithely bouncing along until he encountered a stationary van, and thence he skidded to a stand hobbies reached the man he was in a dazed condition, although the injured driver had not laid a hand on him. They're fun ny that way in England. The fellow seemed only partly conscious of what was said to him. Yet he was certainly not drunk. He had diabetes and the po- lice surgeon certified that he was under the influence of insulin and unfit to drive a car. A medical ex- pert, an authority on diabetes, was called and this physician testified that the patient-here again they're funny across the water. This chap was regarded as a pa tient. In Wiseacreland where the police, like everybody else, think they know about as much as ordi- nary doctors know about such mat ters-the man would have been thrown into cell to sleep it off and dragged into court and lined or given suspended sentence. The expert testified that the patient would ordinarily have ample warn- ing of any unusual reaction from the dose of insulin, and that his condition at the time of the acc1- dent might have been due to the fact that improvement was taking place more quickly than he and his physician realized. So he was permitted to plead guilty to the charge of driving while under the influence of a drug insulin) fined $1 and ordered to pay SAP costs and his license suspended i've years, but he was informed he might apply for revision after six months if he was medically fit.

almost to the point of shyness This is strange
when one recalls the flaming personality Of
Morgan's father, the first j Pierpont; his grand
father, Junius Spencer Morgan, who did much to
launch the family on the highway of financial
power, or Morgan's great grandfather, John Pier
pont, wild-eyed radical who divided his time
between denouncing "money-changers' and
preaching spirituaism.
To understand fully the private life of the
present head of the House of Morgan there is
little to be gained in studying the lives Of his
antecedents even his father.
For the lives of J. Pierpont Morgan today and
of his father present nothing but contrasts. Only
in the matter of money is there a parallel, for,
as we shall see later-indeed, as the public real
lied during the first inquiry at Washington
recenty-the living Morgan has welded as vast
an influence as did his father.
e But there the similarity ends. We must go
back to u. P.'s" schooldays to get basic under
standing of his habits and interests. Like Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, he went to Groton
and then, at the age of 18, entered Harvard.
He was not brilliant student.
His chief interest as youth, however was
in football, rowing and sailing. That is reflected
IN his enthusiasms today. He always attends, if
in this country, the Harvard Yale football games.
Not even an important financial conference can
keep him from it. But he has never been to a
baseball game since he left college. He has never
seen horse race and-ironic thought!-he is
opposed to betting. He detests boxing.
He had his first opportunity to reveal his
financial ability in college when he managed

It was then that the average man and woman were

work. for he is an expert criminologist,

commissioner and is the author Of nu-
merous surveys Of crime, notably in
Ohio and Missouri.
AS for racketeering, both the Pres.
ident and Moley see in the new re-

federal government has heretofore
lacked, to intervene in criminal cases
involving business conduct. Until now.
unless criminal act infringed upon

one Of the postal laws or the internal
revenue. act or law based on inter-
state commerce, the federal govern
ment had no means Of Jurisdiction.
In the past the antitrust laws have
prevented the smaller industries and
business units from banding together.
Such a condition provided q fertile
field for the racketeers, for illegal
combinations. and for violence.
The national recovery act, however,
provides directly for the abrogation Of
the antitrust laws in cases where they
interfere with the working Of the re-
covery program. Industry and BUSH
ness are forced into trade agreements.
The federal government sanctions and
imposes those agreements and any act
in violation of such agreements or

recovery act is made a crime.

Robert P. Lamont, former secretary
of commerce and now president Of
the American Iron and Steel Institute,
which represents SO per cent of the
country's producers of pig iron and
steel ingots, was the chief spokesman
for the iron and steel Industry at the
hearings. William Green, president Of
the A. F. L.. challenged various Sec
tions of the offered code. especially
the minimum wage and maximum hours
provisions. Secretary Of Labor Perkins.
who had been making tour of the
Pennsylvania steel mills, wanted the
wage rates altered. especially criti-
Ching the 25 and 81 cents minimum
hourly rate set up for the southern
and Birmingham districts.
Shortly afterwards Mr.. Lamont an
nounced the industry had agreed to
raise the minimum pay in those two
districts to 80 cents an hour.
Both Green and Miss Perkins urged
that the 40 hour week would not bring
about sufficient unemployment in the
industry.
Defending the proposed code, Mr..
Lamont said: IT,

Of go per cent rate Of operations

ceiving work July /, 1888. would be
given employment. On less than 40
hour week the industry positively
could not operate the mills and meet
any demands on them in excess of
present production.

rate Of 40 cents an hour for common
labor in the Pittsburgh. Youngstown.
