Alarm in Scandinavia

In no corner of Europe have peace

alarmed by current developments in

naval alliance with Sweden.

Arrests MOI a Measure of
Driving While Drunk
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is very surprising to fnd the
director of traffic and Representative
Cannon in such ouandary As to
the cause Of increased recklessness
in driving during the past year.
Strange that they should find this
cause such q mystery, when 1t Is as
patent as the sunshine. They might
get some enlightment from the article
published in your paper on Janu-
sry II, under the caption, Drunken
Driving Shown Increasing" which
gives clearly and convincinsly the
results Of q survey which was made
by the National Safety Council. This
report lays the increase in accidents
directly at the door of repeal. It
shows the number of drivers involved
in non-fstal accidents to have in
creased 80 per cent under repeal and
the number Of pedestrians 20 in
volved to have increased 81 per cent.
Surely 4 strange coincidence If repeal
is not the cause.
The damage done by liquor since
repeal, in the matter of driving, can
not be measured by the actual num-
Der Of drunken drivers arrested, as
the report emphasizes. The drunken
driver is not so great q menace as
the driver who has had just enough
TO warp his judgment and make him
overconfident in himself and pro-
portionately inconsiderate Of others.
These are the drivers who give their
victims no warning, because they do
not appear drunk, and their condi-
ton cannot be revealed by any ordi-
nary test.
Aside from the tangible results of
repeal there is what may be called
the intangible result-a general
license Springing from the vicious

who have lsbored for years to defeat

Violence in plav.

The person who takes up the

more of their forms.
Each one of these simple plants is
microscopic in size, but together they
form mass which may OF may not
be good for the aquarium.
Since the beginner has consciously
placed none of them in his tank, he
often wonders how they get there.
They are introduced on higher
plants, or in the water as it comes
from the mains, OF even may be air
borne IN Spring and Summer
Attempts have been made TO inocu-
late tanks with the more desirable
forms, but in general this must be
left to the scientist.
The home sQuarist may be sure
that he will get one Or more forms,
so he should watch for the good ones
and cherish them, since some he

Crime will not be ended in this
country, or any other country in fact,
however diligent and successful the
pursuit and however swift and sure
the punishment of those caught in
dereliction. But it will be leSsened, as
vocation, if the present pace is
maintained. The courts must, how
ever, act more speedily, TO effect
prompt trial and adequate penalty, TO
assure disposition of all cases while
the memory OF the offense is fresh,
and prison management must be re-
formed TO the end OF preventing

to further crimes and sacrifices Of

The assurance that an incorruptible

that the chances Of escape are slender,
