The stock market climbed l to 8
points today in accelerated trad

Rails and coppers furnished the
leadership, but fair.sized gains also
were scored by steels, motors, avl-
ations, electrical equipments and
farm implements.
RAILS IN VAN
Carrier shares we're among the
most active on the board, with
large blocks of stock changing
hands at advancing prices in New

with Union Pacific, climbed 2
points, while others in the group
gained a point or more.
Westinghouse Electric spurted 3
points and Case slightly more.
Gains of 2 points or so were
chalked up by Eastman Kodak,
Dupont, National Steel and Beth

initial fractional loss into a gain

Chrysler climbed close to 2

which was issued through what is
explained as a double clerical er-
ror." Instead, it's said, he ac'

Speaking of Government Workers

SOCIAL SECURITY BOARD, it.

trying to escape a Congressional
axing over administration of the
unemployment compensation law
down in Tennessee. This effort,
coming after similar political trou-
bles in Virginia, California, Mich
iean and elsewhere, has been
caused by a natural interest that
arose early this year within the
battle-scarred bosom of Senator
Kenneth McKellar, long known as
the Prime Potentate Of Patronage.
1t seems, according to informa-
tion passing between Ssh and the
Senator that Jobs by the whole

TESTS TO PROVE
MANS CAPACITY
FOR ALCOHOLICS

Several years ago DR.. Haven Emer-
son in his book, "Alcohol and Man,"
pointed out that in certain test based
on one cubic centimeter, a drinker of
alcoholic beverages was dry and de-
cent after having absorbed less than
one milogram. At 2 Kilograms he
became delighted and devilish, at 3 he
was delinquent and disgusting, at A,
dizzy and delirious, at 5, dazed and
detected and dead drunk at more than
s.
Thoughtful men and women are as
greatly concerned by the problem of
liquor in this country as they were
in the day of Susan B. Anthony and
the heydey of w. C. T. u. In Sep
tember Pictorial Review, Maxine Da-
Wis has written an article based on
several months intensive investigation
of the alcohol situation.
"The distilling industry ITSELF" OBJ
serves Miss Davis, "is worried over
the steady increase in the sale of it's
products. Witness the advertisements
of the manufacturers which point out
that liquor is a luxury and counsel
moderation"
More than any single group in the
United States-the manufacturers of
spirituous liquors are products kept
well within bounds.
The purpose of Miss Davis article
is to find out why we drink, how
much we can drink, if we must, and
what to do if we find drinking is be-
coming disastrous habit.

about one thing; some people can

Pointing out that whether we care
to admit it or not, alcohol plays an
increasingly important part in the
modern world;" and that morals, poll
tics, and social life are definitely af-
fected," Miss Davis states that the
only rule to be looked to in this case
is that: "the individual who need have
no fear of drinking is ne who always
drinks sociably and moderately, and
who does not increase his consumption
as time goes on, be careful when you
drink and how much you drink. Whis-
key taken immoderately is most dan
gerOuS."
"You can get drunk on beer, if you
persevere," Miss Davis warns, "But
the worst result of beer drinking is
that you are more likely to get fat!
That's the one beverage which has
predictable results in terms of sill
houette. Otherwise, alcohol affects
you according. to your general con-
struction. If you are a perfect AZ
