THREE DRINKS TOO MANY
Remember Harry Lauder’s 'tongue twisting test for
tipsiness — “If ye can say ’tis a braw, bricht, moon
licht nicht, ye’re all right, ye ken.”
In Philadelphia, they tell drinking drivers to say
"Suzie and Sally Sampson sat in the soup.” If this goes
all right the suspect is usually declared sober. If there
is still doubt, he is made to walk around a given circle,
or blindfolded and told to find his ears and mouth with
his fingers, or told to stand at attention with his eyes
closed to see if his body sways.
But the significant thing about all these tests is
that they show beyond doubt that even three highballs
slow up the faculties by 9.7 percent. One physician goes
so far as to say that a person with only one drink is
worse than a plain drunk, because he thinks he has not
been affected and is in condition to drive. Similar re
sults were shown by a test conducted by the Illinois
State Society of Optometrists, using a new instrument
called a “telebrinocular,” resembling the old-fashioned
stereoscope.
Three two-ounce helpings of whiskey, it was found
make a person unfit to drive.—Rochester (N.Y.) Demo

A JOB TO BE DONE
Although enjoying a uniquely high material stand
ard of living, as measured in the commodities they com
xnand, the Amercian people do not by any means have
as good a record in health as some foreign nations. If
we had in America a death rate as low as that of New
Zealand, for example, we would have 250.000 fewer
deaths each year.
According to the Bulletin of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, the death rate of the white popu
lation of this country is 10.4 per thousand, and that of
J\Tew Zealand 8.2. Put another way, the new-born
child in New Zealand can look forward to 5'^ more
years of life than a child born in America.
With far greater resources and a distinctly higher
standard of living, as customarily measured, we have
been anything but successful in providing the condi
tions for healthful_Uving. To be sure, the average

i length of life has been increased tremendously in a gen
eration. But the figures remain to challenge us when
i ever we feel that we have done a good job. In the field
of deaths in childbirth alone, 3,000 lives would be sav
ed each year if we could reduce our death rate to the
level of New Zealand.
If comparison with more successful countries were
made, it would be found that the American record is
even less impressive, despite the vast wealth of the coun
try. Clearly there is something lacking in our social sys
tem whioh permits so bad a record in matters of health.
In the last 50 years, Americans have made an unsur
passed record for increasing 'the efficiency of produc
tion. We have learned to create material wealth in a
fashion that would astound our ancestors. But while;
concentrating our efforts on the production of goods, i
we have neglected questions of the distribution of in-j
come and the betterment of the conditions of life. It is j
in this broad field of equalizing and bettering the condi- j
tions of life that we have a new task ahead of us. It is!
far more challenging, and far more worth while than
even the magnificent task of organizing efficient produc
tion, a task well-nigh accomplished.—The Cincinnati
Enquirer._ i
