alcohol in. Driver Out

There can be no halfway meas
ures in handling the drinking driver
situation. Government either has to
keep alcohol out of the man or keep
the man out of the automobile.
Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, president,
gave this advice in connection with
the sixty-sixth annual convention OF
the National WCTU session in Chi
cago.
Mrs. Smith said the liquor traffic
and governments which permit mar
cotic poison to be sold without ef-
fective restrictions" were response
BILE for more than 4,700 traffic deaths
due to drinking expected during
the last six months of last year.
She quoted National Safety council
estimates of 1880 traffic fatalities
in the last six months of 1899, and a
previous council statement that the
grand total of fatal accidents lnvolv-
ing drinking drivers or pedestrians
should be in the neighborhood OF u
per cent

College Hard for Playhoys

Workaday John has replaced Row
dydoW Joe in the American collie
giate scene, DR.. George A. Works,
dean Of students at the University OF
Chicago, claims. American colleges,
he said, are becoming tougher on
the playboys who use collegiate lie
as a backdrop for social rounds.
Colleges more and more object to
being the dumping ground for aim
less youths whose parents don't
know what else to do with them,
DR.. Works said. with money to
spend and keen for social life, but
with no objective either to learn or
to earn, they are more and more
recognized as a detriment to the
progress Of those who are willing
to work. The mortality rate among
them is heavy-that is. they do NOT

percentage as the workers. And
that is a definite handicap to the

Stomach Ailments Index
OF Business Condition

The number of American patients
suffering from stomach ailments
provides almost as good an index Of
business conditions as the Dow
Jones Averages, DR.. Felix Cunha, OF
the University of California medical
school, said recently.
In report to the American Jour-
nal of Surgery, DR.. Cunha said pc
RODS of severe international crisis,
business recession or political adj
justment are often marked with a
sharp increase in certain types OF
stomach ailments which have no DEF
mite pathological cause.
Those most suffering from such
ailments, he said, are "hard-driving
businessmen, carrying an unusual
load of responsibility, brokers, bond
traders, spectators and the heads
of larger organizations"
The increase or decrease IN the
number of such sufferers SO closely
follows fluctuations in business activ'
ity that the number Of patients car
be correlated with the DoW-Jones
Averages or other business indexes
DR.. Cunha said.
H listed as symptoms: severe
stomach and abdominal pains, mill
nausea, discomfort in the region I'm
| der the breastbone, flatulence, men
tai sluggishness and insomnia some
times with abdominal pains which
wake the patient early in the morn
ing.

Attention upon mere correctness is
energy partly wasted. Beca..;e there
is no real fun in being incorrect I'M
less ore knows consciously how IN
correct one is. When words are
moving in communication, the basic
prohibitions of language Go the serv-

linguistic iaywalker, because df

There are some very eminent peo-
pie who are jaywalkers in language,
that does not make it less unlucky.
When Eleanor Roosevelt writes
presumably on her Off Day., "all
our guests are equally as nice,
when Noel Coward writes, argu-
ments as to whom should drive back

writes. Parker quartered the
ground between the five of them"
when Elsie Stokes, delightful book

American women used $4,000, 000

same period.
Knowing that women wear the SILK
stockings because Of their glamor-
GUS looks, the department hired an
expert designer and weaver to make
cotton hose so beautiful and SO CLAM
orous that women wouldn't be able
10 resist. The result was St new
designs. Congress assisted in the
plan by voting $4,000 for a two-year
research for the development OF dit
