Use of the traveling laboratory is an important feature of the battle against tuberculosis’: sponsored by the Monroe County Tuberculosis and Health associa- fion, in conjunetion with the parent na- fional organization and the State Board of Health.

The disease can be cured—if the vic- tim realizes he has contracted it. and gets tregtment early. DRUNKEN DRIVING ON INGREASE More figid enforcement of existing laws, instead of freqtient changés in the law to hamper the poli¢e and courts in enforée- ment, is neéded as cases of drunken diiv- | ing steadily mount in every state. Th one state, recent figures show that | liquor figured in 287 traffic fatalities last | year, compared to 184 in the previous year. In 1989, drunkenness was a major factor in 2,686 accidents; while last year this num-| ber jumped to 8,358. Many state and. local governments have made it difficult for the arrest and filing of a traé charge against a drunken driver. Convictions of druriken drivers on manslaughter charges have been rarities. In many courts a driver suspected of in- toxication must be examined by a physician before being arraigned or detained. And many police departments and prosecuting attorneys have been lax in drawing a formal charge against negligent drunks. In many cases, the charge depended upon who the arrestéd person was, not his state of i- toxication. Now Yale University research work- ers have devised a “fool-proof” method of determining how much alcohol a drunken driver has absorbed. New York State Police officials, judges, prosecutors, and lawyers were among those who gatheréd to seé a sticéessful demonstration of the auto- matic aleoholometer at Danbury, Conn. Six lutidetitified persons submitted to tests un- The personsit 4) were required to breathe into a tube he exhaled air, passing thy¥otrgh a chemical solution, turned it blue: A meter, actuated by an electri¢ eye, then registered in hundredths of a percentage point exactly the amount éf alechol it the subject’s blood. The percentage of alcohol in the blood can be translated into extent of intoxica- tion according to a formula adopted by the American Medical Association. The al- eoholometer is simple to operate, and it was put into immediate use by the Connecticut State Police. Phe invention certainly comes as an infportant advancenient towatd arresting drunken driving. The tipsy, negligent driver may no longer get “one more chance” because authorities aid not know just how der vero ges of alcoholic influence, new invention, which should help solve this alarmitig, hation-wide problem.

She became conscious of how | black. and thick were the lashes that shaded his gray eyes. The blaze in his hair stood out like the banner of a special individ- uality. An unbidden thought en- tered her mind that here was a/ man who should father extremely | handsome daughters. She felt a} | bit abashed. They passed out of the dunes and entered a region of low brown clay ridges. He smiled and patted her hand and returned it to her, having discovered the ring | was much too large.

Night Stop iE of the soldiers came up with three fresh camels they had been leading. These were harnéssed to the carriage and continued the journey at a swift pace hour after hour until these animals in. turn were drooping wearily.

Several camels were tethered near b: “Castle in the desert.” muttered Sherwood. “How beautiful,” Anne ex: élaimed, “and how strange—as if it were the landscape of another planet!” s Sherwood regarded it with a more somber gaze. 3 The afterglow was dimming rapidly as they descended into the basin. Lanterns had beer hung in the tent when they ar- rived. Anne and Sherwood walked down to the water’s edge immediately, crunching salt un- der their feet. “It’s almost. thick,” she said, feeling the fluid. Then the twilight faded and the moon became visi- ble high in the sky.

Anne drank eagerly from his cupped hands, “Heavenly after that stufi in the goat skin beg,” she murmured. | When they returned to the tent the riders had arrived. Mackey lay on the piled rugs in the tent trying to find a yet softer place. “Of all the new twists that camel invented!” he moaned, “She could give shuffling pointers to a darky hoedown.” Sherwood scrutinized the bales and boxes lining the walls of the teh “The bride’s dowry,” he sald, The Swim “"THEN this,” murmured Mackey significantly, “must be the castle in the desert.” Sherwood looked at him, “Have you any idea what the old devil’s up, to?” Mackey shook his head. “The | |game’s beyond me.

Mackey looked around. “There | sure isn’t much cover in_ this crater. You might try the shadow | of a: camel.” Sherwood had begun letting | down .the tent front, “Come on Pete. Année can change in hére while we take the whole out- doors.” Then he thought of something and returned. “Let me. open your bag.” When it. lay open he asked, “What color?” “Black.
