To Miss Mildred Jones, United

nurse, nursing is more of a chal-
ienge today than it has ever
been. because it offers such a
variety of opportunities.

Miss Jones has just completed
a two-year tour of duty in Jor-
dan to which she was assigned
as the first nurse under the
Point-Four program there.
Like her sister nurses, Miss
Jones feels that national recog-
milton of what the nursing pro-
fession is doing is the best way
to recruit more to a career that
includes not only hospital duty
on the local level but a variety of
field services as far flung as the
four points of the compass.
Miss Jones is especially ap-
preciative of the advances made
by nursing in this country after
two years hard work helping to

Preseason predictions by the

versity of Delaware's 1854 foot
ball team. Foremost among the
predictions was a team break
down in Street and Smiths Foot
ball by Jesse Abramson, New
Cork Heard Tribune sports re-
porter. This list placed Delaware
eleventh among eastern independ-
ents. The Blue Hens were pre-
ceded on the list by Villanova,
Fordham, Boston University, ,Syra-
cuse, Colgate, Holy Cross, Boston
College, Navy, Penn State, and
the great Army team in the num-
ber one spot. Abramson COM
mented further that the teams
that played the game best in the
East are quite likely to continue
on top meaning and Delaware

ference.

TO DETERMINE
nNTOXICATION
Chemical Tests VIII Be Used
To Determine Introxica-
tion Scientifically
LAW ENFORCEMENT

Primitive tribes used to de-
termine the guilt or innocense of
an accused person by having him
eat an "ordeal bean" which con-
tains a poisonous substance called
physostigmine. If the accused
lived, he was judged to be inno-
cent but if he died the conclusion
was that he was guilty. Such
practice is obviously fraught with
peril to the accused. In Mary
land today we are using almost
equally unscientific methods to
cope with the problem of the
drinking driver, said DIR. Hen
ry c. Freimuth, Toxicologist
in the Maryland Chief Medical
Examiners Office. He pointed out
that the usual evidence introduced
in court in the trial of person
charged with driving under the
influence of liquor consists of
testimony of the arresting officer
concerning alcoholic odor of the
breath, staggering gait, thick
speech and other signs of gross
drunkenness, all of which may
either mislead to the conviction of
an innocent person or result in
the acquittal of a guilty person.
No Degree OF Intoxication
1.-THE odor of liquor in the
breath is a very unfair test of
intoxication", DIR. Freimuth said,
"since this odor is not due to
alcohol but to the flavoring mat
ter of the liquor which varies
enormously from one beverage to
another and hence can provide no
accurate infex of the degree of
intoxication. The other signs such
as thickened speech, flushed face
and staggering gait are also not
characteristics of alcoholic intoxica-
tion since they may be produced
by many other conditions. There
is, however, scientific way of
demonstrating whether a person
is under the influence of alcohol
to an extent which impairs his
judgement and makes him unfit to
operate a motor vehicle safely.
This involves chemical analysis of
the blood to determine how much,
if any, alcohol is present. From a
practical standpoint, it must be
conceded that it is difficult to
obtain blood samples within a
reasonable time in driving under
the influence cases. To circum-
vent this difficulty the blood al
cohol concentration may be de-
termined indirectly by analysis of
a sample of breath obtained by
the arresting police officer. This
analysis is done by a trained
chemist and the results are then
introduced in court. If the con-
centration of alcohol in the blood
exceeds 0.159o, the person from
whom the sample was taken is
under the influence of alcohol.
This has been decided as the
result of tests conducted on
thousands of persons by many
workers in this field.
Striving to have Tests Admissible
Under present Maryland law
there is no definition of what
constitutes "under the influence
of intoxicants -" Hence, the

Richmond, Va.--( ANP)--- Some

for a district assembly bowed to
Virginia's segregation laws in
their activities and services.
They contented themselves to
be witnesses in segregated ser
vices, segregated fellowship meet
ings and in other ways.
Before the close Of the gather
ing at Moore's Field. 1000 more
people were expected to be on
hand for the services. One out of
every five persons attending the
gathering was Negro.
Some 2l9 Jehovah's Witnesses
were baptized in two Chesterfield
county lakes. Negroes were bap-
tized at one lake, and whites at
the other. The 1876 whites baptized
drove after the ceremonies to Red
Water Lake which the owner had
donated TO their use. The 81 Ne
groes went to Happy Land Park n
Negro amusement center.
Earlier, several cars carrying
Negro Witnesses had arrived at
Red Water Lake, but they were
refused entrance and advised to
go to Happy Land Lake. A Wit
ness spokesman explained that the
sect is interracial but the MEM
bers were complying with Virgin
la segregation laws.
