Henderson Gives Unusual Defi
nition of Intoxicating
Liquors - 1
Professor Yandell Henderson,
of Yale University, recently
published an article in the Yale
News, in which he gave a novel
definition of intoxicating li
quors. According to Professor
Henderson, - "no beverages in
common usage may be consider
ed an intoxicating liquor if less
than eighty cubic centimeters of
alcohol are taken into the body
in an hour."
Professor Henderson stated,
"by an intoxicating beverage is
understood one vnich contains
such a percentage of alcohol that
the amount of it that a person
would consume, in its ordinary
use, would induce either a mark
ed temporary disturbance of
physical condition and behavior j
or cumulative ill effects of
alcohol on a person is the length
of time over which the alcohol is
consumed. This, in turn, depends
largely upon the degree of dilu
tion of the alcohol in water,
which is contained in most
beverages. No beverage which in
common usage is drunk only in
such amounts that not more than
the equivalent of eighty cubic
centimeters of absolute alcohol is
absorbed into the blood in an
hour can properly be denominat
ed intoxicating.
"The teaching of physiology
and toxicology teaches that the
definition of an alcoholic be
verage as contained in the Vol
stead Act excludes from use
practically all non-intoxicating
beverages. Thus, most persons
who desire to drink alcohol at
all must make use of those be
verages, such as whiskey, gin,
and half -diluted crude alcohol
which are highly intoxicating."

ALDERMEN SEEK
TO AIDJOBLESS
Several Plans Suggested for
Relief of Unemployment
Situation Here.
The problem of finding em
ployment for men in and around
Chapel Hill during the coming
winter will be discussed by the
board of aldermen at its meet
ing Wednesday night. Several
plans for the relief of the unem
ployment situation ' have been
submitted, and Mayor Council
invites all who have suggestions
to offer to come and join-in' the
discussion. The mayor declared
that the municipal government
cannot aid the situation by di
rect grants of money, but it can
serve as an organizing force to
provide for some means of work
for those who are able and will
ing to do it.
Members of the faculty, real
izing the seriousness of the un
employment situation, have sub
mitted plans for relief. One
plan is to employ men to plant
trees along bare stretches of
streets and highways. ,
Another member of the facul
ty suggested that the town or
ganize a body, aided by private
subscriptions, which will be able
to provide the unemployed with
jobs of civic interest. He sug
gested that rubbish heaps should
be done awTay with, thus beauti
fying the town and providing
work at the same time.
A national movement, headed
by Colonel Arthur Woods, has
been suggested as a remedy for
unemployment here. Mayor
Council urges that everybody
who needs improvements to his
home or place of business have
them made now if possible.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C
DEAN OF UNIVERSITY FACULTY

Walter Dallam Toy, Sr., Has Watched University Since
Organization and Is of the Opinion That the
New University Is Better. .
' -o
. "I was familiar with the Uni
versity in the years following re
organization and have followed
its progress with great interest,"
said. Professor Walter Dallam
Toy, senior member of. the Uni
versity faculty in point of serv
ice in an interview yesterday.
For forty-five years an active
professor in the University, Pro
fessor Toy has seen the institu
tion grow and change from year
to year and says this about it,
"While enjoying memories of the
days when Chapel Hill was a
simpler place, I am in thorough
sympathy with the new Univer
sity as we have it today, and T
expect the University to be fur
ther developed and enlarged to
a position of even greater serv
ice, not only to the state but to
our country as a whole."
Professor Toy was born in
Norfolk, Virginia, in 1854, and
received there his preparation
for college. He became, a stu
dent in the University of Vir
ginia and was graduated with
the degree of Master of . Arts in
1882. Immediately after finish
ing his course,, he sailed for Eu
rope where he remained three
years studying in the Universi

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1930
Its
In 1885 Professor Toy was
elected to the chair of modern
languages at the University of
North Carolina. Later, on the
division of these languages into
Romance and Germanic, he be
came head of the department of
Germanic languages, the posi
tion which he still holds. Dur
ing the period of forty-five years
since that time Professor Toy
has made several trips to Eu
rope, spending eighteen months
in Germany on the latest trip.
Professor Toy was one of the
charter members of the Modern
Language Association of Ameri
ca and of the Philological Club
of this University. He is also a
member of the American Dialec
tic Society and of the North Car
olina Historical Society. He is
a member of the Chi Psi frater
nity, and has been for many
years secretary of the faculty
and an active member of several
committees and boards.
Professor Toy has contributed
articles to professional journals
among which is the "Modern
Language Notes " He hasalso
edited texts which are widely
used. Among these are "Die
Journalisten" of Gustav Freythe
and Moliere's
"Les Precieuses

The new paper was made of
the one variety of pine suppos
ed to be the least capable of pro

PNEUMONIA REDUCED
. Washington, Nov. 8. (IP)
Lobar pneumonia, which causes
thousands of deaths annually in
the United States, has been at

chial pneumonia has been greatly

suffering from arthritis and
cases of muscular inflammation,

CAMPUS RADICAL
TRIEDBY STATE
Milton Abernathy Brought Be
fore College Student Council
For "Cheating Story."
' "The game of cheating at
North Carolina State College is
not equalled by any other sport,"
wrote Milton NA. Abernathy,
State junior, in a story which ap
peared in a Raleigh newspaper
last Sunday. Yesterday the
State College student council
was trying Abernethy on a
charge of reflecting on the stu
dent body and injuring the repu
tation of the college.
Though the "court" before
which the young campus radical
is beinjr tried is composed of the i
student, council, the college f ac-!
ulty is taking an active part in
the proceedings. Members of
the faculty committee are advis
ing the council, and Dean Carl
Taylor, of the graduate school,
is representing Abernethy as his
"attorney."
Abernathy's article was' based
on the master's thesis which
Professor. William N. Hicks
wrote from confidential ques
tionaires answered by the stu
dents in 1928. Whether or not
the young man's accusers con
tend that he did not stick to the
facts is not shown in the charge.
However, Louis H. Wilson, the
"prosecuting attorney" in the
case, said that the facts of the
thesis were "misrepresented"
rather than falsified. It is the
plan of the Abernathy defense
to go through the article, para
graph by paragraph, and ask if
each is not in accord with the
thesis written by a man on the
college faculty. The thesis is on
file in the State College library.
The student body or rather the
student council seems determin
ed to punish Abernathy for mak
ing such broad statements con
cerning cheating, while the fa
culty and especially President E.
C. Brooks and Dean Taylor are
inclined to believe that the stu
dent is guilty of no serious of
fense. Freshman Election
There will be no election of
freshman class officers this
quarter, according to "Red"
Greene, president of the Univer
sity Student Union, because the
freshmen will be better ac
quainted with each other later
on. The election of officers will
take place some time in the win
ter quarter or at the beginning
of the spring quarter, President
Greene announced.
