"The Executive Committee at its September meeting agreed that. Guiding shall carry on as usual — only more so.

Mr. Smith was a very kind man. He threw out crumbs for the mar- rows in winter, and gave pennies to beggars, and he was so fond of children that he used to stop and at them on the head and ask hem how old they were. He kept a public house, a very pleasant- looking public-house; it was call- ed “The Comfort Inn." One day a traveller came to the inn and asked for a. cup of tea. exclauned Mr. Smith. "Corrie. now. let me draw you a glass of beer; nothing like beer to give you Comfort Inn-side, you now " “I never found beer a comfort, myself." said the traveller. "Well, well, there's no account- ing for tastes," said Mr. Smith, and brought the lea. “You're o. stranger to these parts. I take it?" "That's Flglll." said the traveller. “I've a special line 1n spectacles that I'm prying to gel; people to use." "Find it a paying business?" ask- ed Mr. Smith. "Not yet, but it will be y business for everybody in the end," said the traveller. "The fact is I'm so anxious to gel; people to see thin s straight that I'm giving the spec acles away!" "You don't sayll" exclaimed Mr. Smith. "Yes, I do" said the traveller. “If people could only be got to see things as they really are, and not. as the think they see them, themed be a ot less trouble in the world, especially for the children," “There you get me on a. tender spot." said Mr. Smith. "When you talk about the children you can do anything with me; I wouldn't. hurt. one for a fortune." "I-Iurnphl" said the traveller. "I saw some children playing in the gutter at the end of the street. — curly hair. and bad shoes." “Blue eyes?" asked Mr. Smith. "That's right," said the travel- ler; "I noticed the eyes because they were the only part clean enough to show the colour. Know them?" “Know them!" echoed Mr. Smith. “Of course I do, bless their little hearts! Name of Thompson. Moth- er's a, regular customer here, very regular." "There “were some other children playing a little lower down the street, went on the traveller, “four of them; they looked as though they didn't. know what it. was to have a square meal." "No more they do, poor little "Pill-WE thlIlKS," QKICBG Ml‘. Smith‘ ‘I know the ones you mean.

So the traveller left the spectacles on the bar, paid for his tea. and went out. Mr. Smith rubbed the spectacles on his handkerchief and put them on. Everything looked just as it always did-wright. fire, gleaming brasses, everything clean and neat. "They don't. seem to make much difference,” he said and strolled out into the rch to see if the street, too, wou d look as it usually di Just at that moment twelve o'clock began to strike from the Market Hall. and Mrs. Thompfibfl came out of her house higher up the street. "Albert Egbert. come out of the gutter there, you naughty boy, she cried angrily. “No one would ever think I'd given you a bath only last Saturday as ever was!

And she slapped the nearest child and Dick- ed up the baby and thumped it nri the doors . “It's a deal soft with them, I am," she said. as she came t0- wards the inn. "There's not many mothers would make the sacrifices I do for the ungrateful brats. Mr. Smith felt himself getiilnu quite red with indignation. "Im thinking the sacrifices are on the other leg, as one might say. MP5- Thombson." _ "Why. ‘what. do you mean?‘ cried Mrs. Thompson. "Mean!" said Mr. Smith, "I, mean it's the children that have made the sacrifices, not you. Tsook at. their ragsl Look at the dirt. on them!

"Of all the impudericel" she gasped. "You can keep your old Comfort Inn. I'll never come near it again!" And sway she flounccd. Mr, Smith took off the spectacles to mop his face, "Now what made me talk to her like that?" he ask- ed himself. “It's bad for business _,m¢ yet, 1 don't. know what else I could have said, and me so fond oi children." Just at that minute there came s lug at his coat.

However little alcohol is taken, that lit-tic goes straight and un- changed to the blood stream and tes through every busy. . eot, when taken in small quantities, is on what is call- ed the “central nervous systan," which consists oi the brain and the draw s/way your hand What has really ed is that the nerves in our and "stimulsmi" by the hell. have sent a usage by one (sensory) nerve to one part of your brain which registers the un- pleasant sensation. lib-om here a further message goes to another part o.‘ your brain which by means of another nerve sends a message back to the muscles of your arm ielll them to contract, and so your and is ulled away from the heat. It is t ls sort of telephone system and exchange which is call- ed the nervous s stem. that is nar- ootlzed, or dope . and so retarded, by the use of alcohol, even in ver_v small quantities. You know that when a. baby is born, it and digest. of a baby's brain which tells it how to do those things is already de- veloped when it is born. But the be-by cannot walk or talk or oth- erwise make eoondinstod move-.- ments because that part- of its brain is not yet functioning. But lcter the baby makes movements. and by continual use and practice. the "muscular control" port, of its brain works accurately. Later on still, the child learns to read and write; (he "mental control" part o! its brain has become active. But still the child cannot be expected to have as much sense as a grown- up person. We say, “You cannot expect an old head on young shoul- ders." It is only later still hat the final part of our brain develops. as we gradually practice making fudg- ments, using self-control. rt-l - ing ourselves. and being cautious: in isci: it is only ths oi our brain which makes us different from anlm .

At the first small dose of alcohol, the power oi self- gflticlaui is deadened, the person becomes self-satisfied, he loses his sound judgment and his sense of values. Caution vanishes. But the other parts of his brain governing his mental, physical and emotional functions are still “too stronz" l0 be doped by this small quantity of alcohol and so he says and docs things which he would not nave done if his judgment had not been dulled: he becomes talkative, laughs s lot at feeble jokes, gets angm without much cause. If a st stronger dose cf alcohol is. taken, the mental controls are paralysed. If more still is taken the motor control foil. and the man cannot walk or talk straight. Finally the of the brain goes so fax that. he falls into a heavy slew. 0-’ even, in extreme earliest function of breathing 1s completely paralys- ed, the man will die. Step by step, the paralysing effect of alcohol overtakes the different nerve cen- tres of the brain in the reverse order in which those centres were developed. but it is to be noted that as Sir Lauder Brunton. King Ed- ward VIPs physician, said, “Al- cohol paralyses the brain, and the psxal begins with the first glass ‘ 4. Further. the Commission's re- port states that drunkenness, as we now it namely the ability to talk and walk str ht, is not the only effect of alco l. Drunken- ness is the symptom or sis-n that the person has now taken suffici- ent: alcohol into ‘his system to dope even the strong nerve centres which control his m ar movements. But. long before that, "without signs of intoxication in the full ordinary or in the legal sense of the term, the drinkers bearing and individual attitude of mind tem- t-lie drug. with the person so affected have, for the time being. to deal with an altered individual, whose mind lacks its normal factor of judg- ment and conspicuous elements of its self-control." 5. the fifth finding oi the Com- mission was that “what a man thinks or feels about his perform- ance wiih the use of alcohol is no true index of what. he has roall? accomplished." In all the experi- ments which were carried our to test. the relative efficienc of peo- ple working with and thout al- cohol, those people who had had the alcohol were always self confid- ent, always certain that they hari but. up a betber record than usual. and were only convinced of their lowered efficiency when confront- ed with the recording machines. In the words of the report, “Self- satisfaotion is increased by the use of alcohol, but neither skill nor power is. From the very beginning of taking alcohol there was some impairment of skill. and there was also an increased feeling of satis- faction." We can see why this was so. For even before a dose of c.1- cohol large enough to spoil the e1. ficient control of the muscles had been taken, quite sufficient, had been drunk to deoden the man's PQWCI’ of judgment and his self. criticism and so he was unable to 1900011118 his own inefficiency label‘ Oh. Hence we see that the “m- sequences of taking even such small Quantities of liquor as are contain- ed in one bottle of beer or one cocktail are harmful and are due to the rapid passing of the alcohol to the brain and its power of gm)- ing all parts of the brain in the reverse order to that in which may were developed.
