More Seuere Penalties
 Loom For 7ipsy Drvers
Statutes Provide Fines of $500, One Year in Jail for Offender - Public Fails to Appreciate Seriousness of Charge Says
 Safety Instructor.
Private F. C.

Any person who shall violate the provisions of this section shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than six months or be both fined and im- prisoned for the first offense, and shall be imprisoned not less than sixty days nor more than one year for the second offense, and, for any subsequent offenSe, shall be impri- soned not less than six months nor more than one year.
 The above statute covers one of the most important of all motor vehicle laws that of the driver who operates while under the influence of liquor or drugs It seems to be the rule that when person gets in this condition they always insist on driving their car and will not al- low anyone else to touch the wheel. However 1t has been found that in many of the accidents involving driver under the influence of liquor some of their passengers were sober.
 l could never understand why a person in his or her right mind would ride in car with an operator under the influence of liquor, they really have no excuse If they are in- jured as result of his cratic driv- ing. There are some people who will tell you that they can drive better with few drinks in them than when they are sober An operator with just couple of drinks is more difficult to notice than one who has gone all the way and is drunk, this type generally Weaves in and out all over the road and his speed is not nearly as great as the former.
 This is a very serious charge for an operator to face and very difficult one for the officer making the ar rest to prove as there are no stand ardized methods of determining how much a person can drink before be- ing classified as under the influence of liquor. In some cities the police surgeon examines the accused but in Waterbury the testimony of the arreSting officer is taken along with witnesses and the only time a phy- sician is called in is when the ac- cused asks for one. So folks remem- Der 1t is not the stiff penalty that should make us think about doing the right thing but the awful conse- quenceS that could result from op- erating under the influence of liquor.

It does seem as though something should be done to help these people to get home with some degree of safety.

color to the lips and inside of the
mouth. The claim is made that
chewing the betel nut makes the
gums stronger and sweetens the
breath. The person who does the
chewing, however, finds that his
teeth at length turn black.
India, Burma and Thailand are
among the countries where betel
nuts are chewed widely. The habit
also exists in Ceylon, the Malay
Peninsula and the Philippine Is
lands.
On this continent the habit OF
chewing tobacco was widespread in
former times. There still are men
who chew tobacco, but not nearly
SO many as in the past. The Gus
tom seems to have died out almost
entirely in the cities of the United
States and Canada which I have
visited during the past several years.
The chewing of gum, however,
seems in no danger of dying out.
1t Is more widespread today than
it was 40 years ago.
In the 10Th century, the gum
which was cheWed was taken in
large part from spruce and fir
trees, and was known as spruce
gum" Another old-time gum was
composed of parafln wax with
flavoring
In the years from 1880 to 1900,
a substance known as "chicle" be-
came more and more popular as a
chewing gum. This substance is a
thick juice taken from trees which
grow in Mexico and Central Amer
ica.
| Chicle at first was imported with
the idea of turning it into rubber.
Later it was found to be a good
base for chewing gum and all that
could be obtained was used for this

West opened the heart five. De-
clarer played the 10 from dummy,
and. when East followed with the
deuce, unhesitatingly overlook his
own 10 with the ace! 1t is scarcely
to be wondered at that this sequence
of plays had profound effect on
West. From his point of view, de-
clarer had started with only the ace
king Of hearts. Obviously, he had
played dummys honor in the hope
that East had the heart queen and
would cover, thus giving him three
heart tricks, despite his own double
ton.
Hence. when West was put in with
diamond at the second trick, what
could have been more natural than
his second low heart play? He was
sure that declarer's king would fall
and establish Vests suit. This time,
however, South put in dummy's jack
and did not overtake it, He knocked
out Vests second diamond stopper
and now could dare him to do his
worst. Ten tricks were in clear
sight for declarer.
The object OF South's first heart
play should be- clear He was sure
that If West saw the 10 or jack
of hearts win the first trick, he
would shift to spades at the first
opportunity. and that was one shift
that declarer had to stop at any
cost.

Bond Drive S+aIwar+s

Earlier in the day I ran into
three Stalwarts of the War Bond
drive-namely Hal Smith, presi-
dent of the Detroit Stock Ex-
change; Paul Bollinger, and
Clark Mickey.
Complimented on the job the
brokers are doing, Hal Smith
told of posting tho standings
in bond sales in his office. One
salesman came over and con-
feSSed that he was actually en-
barraSsed because his name was
not higher on the list.
yet I know that he made
more calls than many Of those
with higher totals" said Hal.
That's the trouble with these
things, the results do not always
accurately reflect the hard
work"
Bollinger confessed that he
was far enough ahead Of his
quota that he was able TO sneak
a few days of for a short va
cation back in Old Virginny.
