Toke This Down, Folks Alcohol is not stimulant — it is an irritant, depressant^anesthetic. Alcohol does not itelieve fatigue. It does, to a certain extent, dfoscure sensation. Always, alcohol aecreases efficiency of functioning, both mental and physical. It,is wholly untrue that alcohol has not had a dangerous effect until it causes drunkenness. Scientific investigation has determined that comparatively small amounts of alcohol w\ll decrease driving ability of an expert cjriver not less than 30 per cent. In some crises, it is probable that tkis decline in dri\ting ability may be caused by .two bottles 01 beer. It is not true that alcoholism is found only among the "lower classes." The so called "upper-classes," -which constitute 4 per cent of the population, furnish 20 per cent of the psychotic alcoholics. The most serious effects of ,the~ alcohol pustom are not drunkenness and petty fcrltne, but the impaired leadership due to "moderate" drinking. i ' Many alcoholics come ^rom the upper levels: "Before me now (whites a psychia trist at a famous $linic) is a stack of con densed records of 221 male alcoholics from every walk of life. About onij-third of them are 'big business men.' In Many of these cases alcoholism develops during a time when these men are attaining outstanding success.

When a traffic jam occurs the first thing a driver thinks about is lambasting the cops for not keeping traffic on the move. Nine-tenths of the congestion is due to drivers' failure to function properly, or jiderly and promptly. Traffic conditions have improved here recently with some traffic light changes. Elimination of left turns at B and Ninth has helped and putting a right turn "go" signal with red on some other corners has also been beneficial. To get the most benefit from the "go" signal on a right turn drivers must learn to get into their correct lanes at those corners. Those who are going straight ahead or planning to make a left turn should never get into the right lane, which causes con gestion. Getting into the lane near the center*to make a right turn can also cause trouble and frequently .results in accidents. If you are going to go straight ahead or turn left, leave the right lai e open so that those behind can pass you md turn right from the right lane.. If you are in the lane near attempt to turn right you |xj car which has pulled up a right turn. Our streets are narro^i ed with traffic.
