TWENTY-FIFTH EDITION

moted to inspector in charge of these vast white wastes, Corporals Fairman and Tredgold closed in on the once mighty monarch of the polar reaches. With bowed head—without being permitted a farewell word with his weeping wife and children, he was hustled past his people and rushed aboard the waiting vessel. No greater humiliation could have been visited upon the leader of the Iglulirmuits, upon the man who’d welcomed the first whites with open arms, saved another trader from starvation, and who had left Pond’s Inlet rather than have trouble with the trader Janes. As the ship steamed slowly out to sea a group of puzzled natives stood silently upon the spot where, but a few short years before, they'd wel- comed the whites with joy and laughter. Yet, instead of joy they'd reaped naught but sorrow and dis- illusionment. And, even as_ they watched, the ship that bore their broken hero from them grew smaller and smaller until it merged into the blue-and-white horizon. Truly, the white man’s ways—and the white man’s law—were hard to _ under-

stand. 5 xk

Take “One for the Road,” Swedish Doctors Advise

IF YOU DRINK. don’t drive—ex- cept maybe in Sweden.

A report from that country quotes two physicians as testifying that nerv- ous persons are better drivers under the influence than they are cold sober.

Reported in a North American Newspaper Alliance story the Swedish account said that the two physicians of Oerebro, Sweden, had conducted experiments “on 12 well-known per- sons in their city.”

The results, as published in the “Doctor’s Journal” of Stockholm, were a contradiction of the cherished North American adage against mixing alcohol with gasoline.

The research was undertaken in connection with a bill pending in the Swedish Riksdag which would lower the limit on the lawful percentage of alcohol in a driver’s blood from .08 to .05 or .04.

As a result of their experiments the two doctors recommended a_ less stringent .07 limit.

Under Swedish law a blood test is mandatory for all drivers involved in traffic infractions. * *
