THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ¢, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1929. - ALCOHOL DEFENDED BEFORE INSTITUTE Educator Advocates Its Use to Rid World of Weak- Willed. BY THOMAS R. HENRY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. | UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, August 16.—Can prohibition be enforced and— Jaw or no law—is it worth enforcing? Can society win in the end against the war chests and machine guns of organized banditry These questions brought forth strik- ingly divergent opinions in the round table and open forum discussions at the Institute of Public Affair: The wets found their ardent cham- pion in_Dr. Paul Barrenger, distin- guished Virginia physician and forms president of Virginia Polytechnic Insti- tute, who concluded his address with a plea for more aleohol to Kill off the weak and prevent the overpopulation of the eart Declaring that great families and pestilences now were things of the p: the veteran educator insisted that man- kind should find some saner device than periodic war for keeping down the popu- lation, | Alcohol Takes Weak. “The worst (hing about this reduction by war is that it takes your best” he eald. “Cannot mankind find something as potent in destroy! take the weakest? of alcohol for the h talisman, chocsing and taking. in time and order, only the weak of will.

C. and their poli eligious advisers.” He illustrated this by a high school song. First the leader sing: “What does alcohol do stomach?” Then the collective chorus chants: “Alcohol irritates and inflames the stomach.” ‘In contemptuous scorn.” he said, “they go through the whole body: stomach, brain, heart—and all scoffing- 1y.

By the Assoclated Press.

The Federal Reserve System could force cheaper money in New York, he said, but it was doubtful “if the Reserve system could break down | the eculative wave, even if it were cor ed desirable to do so. The po- litical and economic risks would be im- mense, when things have gone as far as they have now.” Dr. C. S. Duncan, economist of the Association of Rallway Executives, dis- cussing - the transportation factors of commerce, said that the United States has made a material contribution to the | economic welfare of the world by treat- ing transportation problems as economic rather than political questions. “It is significant that foreign delega- tions are frequently among us to study our methods of operation,” he said. Aid of Foundations. Prof. Herbert I. Priestley of the Uni- versity of Columbia told the institute that the humanitarian work of estab- | lished American foundations had been superior to governmental intervention in the task of building up dependent areas of the Caribbean and placing them Qn a stable foundation. “The agencies of government,” he id, “are powerless to evolve a society based on conceptions similar to our own unless they are efficaciously assistagyby the helpful agencies which do s*W.ch for American society outside the pale of purely Government ‘effort. “Stability and basic organizations de- pend upon the development of healthy physical, moral and intellectual condi- tie which will arise from the trans- plantation of social ideas through the agency of great American foundations, | touching the individual in ways no | government can.” % 5 N %// L OW Prices \\ Highest Quality Quick Service l\tf':I:bl::lilble Lum]:::lllonr Hardware Building e Supplies Coal Small Orgers Given Careful Atten e D e , Inc.

CHICAGO, August 16.—Ever 50 often somebody comes along and tries to tell the big city how to behave itself. William Ellsworth, who is a great admirer of his home town, Akron, Ohio, was distressed to observe that | Chicago traffic regulations were much inferior to Akron's. He decided to do what he could to hetter conditions, Ellsworth stationed himself at Stony | Island avenue and Sixty-third street last night and directed traffic accord- ing to the best Akron traditions. Motor- ists who had been blundering along | for years under Chicago traffic rules were put sharply in their places in what presumably was ths Akron-style | bawl-out. For an hour Stony Island and Sixty-third street was quite a | place. A pair of detectives drove along. De- tectives detest being told anything. When the Akron expert began taking them to task, the sleuths raised their eyebrows, fingered their firearms specu- latively and finally hauled Ellsworth to jail. Ellsworth took this as just another | example of Chicago's inferiority. “I was trying to show this town some- | thing,” hes ighed. “but some people just | i will not take advice.” | Prices All departments are of- feri=; fine furnishings for the ¥iome at_prices that make each item doubly attractive.
