68. (Reading) One feature of the
history of liquor control in the United
States which is Of special importance.
is the effect Of industrial organization
and consequent methods of manufac-
ture and sale upon production and
consumption of liquor. Much Of the
failure of the systems of liquor con-
troll devised in nineteenth century
America was due to their presuppos-
ing an economic situation which was
ceasing to exist. According to the
paragraph, the liquor traffic Cd Is

long permit themselves to ask legis-
latures in vain for what they are
impelled by their consciences to seek,

them. The paragraph implies that
Cd lawmaking bodies are apt to
accede eventually to the will of those
they represent; (2) the consciences
Of earnest men must comply with
laws passed by legislatures; (3) legis-
latures seldom represent the wishes
Of earnest men; a. it is possible for

10. Reading) The primary effect
of alcohol is upon the nervous system,
peculiarly upon that part of the sys-
tenn which has been most recently
developed in the process of human
evolution and which is, hence. most
delicate and unstable. First, charac-
teristics such as judgment are lost;
then the sensibility to outside impress
sion suffers. Subsequently that part
of the nervous system which controls
precise coordination of action is
affected. Ultimately the more primi-
tive nervous functions are affected.
According to the paragraph, the pro-
greSsive effect of alcohol is explained
by the fact that D only motor reac-
ton depends upon the nervous sys-
tenn; (2) the nervous system is not
of uniform stability; 90 the nervous
system is not the only part of the
BODY affected by alcohol; "a coordi-
nation Of action depends upon proper
sensibility to outside impression; (5)
earlier evolution types of development
are first affected by alcohol.
