ALCOHOL IN THE CARBURETOR

Everyone knows, and it's been sold
q thousand times to boot, that alcohol
and gasoline don't mix. That is, drink
ing and driving don't mix
But few people realize that the
problem is increasing in importance. In
our motorized and mechanical civiliz-
alton the question Of drinking is quite
another question from what it was to
our pioneer or hose-ond-bugey onces-
tors.
Donald S. Berry Of the National
Sofety Council has, in the Quarterly
Journal Of Studies in Alcohol, pointed
to the significant feature, which is that
drinking drivers involved in accidents
increased from 7 per cent in 1888 to ]
per cent in 1889; drinking pedestrians
from 8 per cent in 1888 to ! 5 per cent
in 1889. In one fevery five fotoI occi-
dents in 1889, Berry reports, either driv-
er or pedestrian had been drinking
Even q flot increase in troffc occi-
dents involving drinking might be ex-
pIoined as due to more people in the
country and more cars on the road. But
the increase in percentage of accidents
in which alcohol is factor is definitely
disturbing.

This is not exactly holiday for other
countries, regardless Of how the Ger

what hos happened since, it can scorce-
~ be ignored. No other single event OF
the decade has cost the world so much.
When Hitler osumed the German

formed, felt the same way. This was to
be just another phase in the dsorder|y
history Of postwar Germany.
1t was, unfortunately, six years be-
fore Europe began to take Adolf Hitler

seriously when he sold to q mass meet

he didn't core much what happened

Had Hitler confined himself to

cared much, except those Germans who

oMANHAHAN
By GEORGE TUCKER

what sort of grin he must wear.
if shades wear grins, when he
thinks of the halo they have put
on his head and the glamour
they have added to his name.
In stories and legend and in
the films Billy was a 17-year-old
hero who shot up the West, CLAM
orized the border bandit era of
our civilization and finally died
as he had lived, by the sword.
Actually, he was a hoodlum
and criminal of the worst type,
a product of the alleys and back
streets of lower Manhattan, and
he killed his first man on an
East River fishing barge. He
grew up in the vicinity of the
Fulton Street fish market, and
it was there he took his first
step in capital crime.
There was an oyster fisher
man who locked at the Fulton
Street market wharves every
two or three days. One night
the Kid sneaked aboard, and
when the barge was safely out
in the river, heading toward
Hellgate, he picked up lead
pipe and battered the oyster
mans head into q bloody pulp.
He fed west then to escape
the gallows, but his name was
already on the police register
for minor crimes, and his picture
is still In Rogue's Gallery.
Well, the Kid has travelled
quite a distance since then. Plays,
books, musical compositions, and
at least one super-western-t alkie,
starring John Mack Brown, have
been based on his career. I'm
like Antony's cry to the Ro-
mans over the body of Caesar,
the evil that men do does not
always live after them, the good
is not always inferred with their
bones. The Kids crimes are
mostly forgotten, buried in the
yellow pages of the police blot
tiers. You think of him only as
a handsome, Juvenile Robin
Hood who left his mark on the
old west. This week. in Holly
wood the legend will take two
new steps forward. Two differ
ent studios begin new pictures,
based on the life of Billy the
Kid.
They will have him handsome,
courteous to women, and the ep-
itome of gallantry. I will bet
you the price Of a movie ticket
that neither mentions Ann street,
or the lead pipe episode that took
place on q fisherman's barge in
East River.

Froman wears on the stage Is an
