I than three time* as many murder* j to his credit than ail other type*] . •>( homicidal creature* combined. In 193 x. thi* terrible aittmtion . was somewhat improved The im- < I proventent was due to better law I .■nforc. ineiil and general public I < diic-ation. Since enforcement of! the laws relative to the drinking | driver involves the medico-legal I . luohlems of proving that the driver was under the* inflm-nee of alcte ‘ * hoi. this sitiiH'lmi should lie of I j interest not only to the physician! • but to the general public as well. Three years ago a committee ■appointed by the Am.rican M.*di leal Association reported that it was impossible io diagnose drunk- ! .-linens lldequalely by symptoms j i alone and stressed the need of examining chemically the blood.’ j urine*, saliva and breath for eon- ; firmuiion. More recently a sc-coud [report from this commKtue con * eluded that tho conc t-titration of alcohol in th* Hlchhl was a prac-. | th-al criteria of drunkenness. < Tiemil al tests have been so' [ I'valuat.-d that if the smottnt of alcohol on the breath can be deter.' | mined then the blisid coneentra--Hoti Will also la- known. At the last sessioti of the- Indiana | g> neral assc-mbly. a bill was passed which makes such chemical test I admiaslMe evidence* and sets limits ; of Indy alcohol fur operators of ■ motor vehicles. By estimates based on c-emsump- * lion, it statc-s that two MMtces of whisky or two bottle* of beer will , bring the blood concent rat i<m to »f» percent or up to the same limit Six ounces of whisky or six butties • *UI bring the* .-oiiieiitra Hen up tu 15 percent and in this • gone is rather definitely under the

I influence of alcohol and may be convicted. Above .15 percent it j ‘ would mean that the individual, • haa consumed more than one-half ’ t pint of whisky and in thia cam-, 100 portent of all people would' ' have their driving ability Impaired ' i There la no mo ellon about a conj victlon hi thia classification. In the past in dealing with drunken driving the chief missing ’ element »»» proof Now nuthorl | >tea will l»- in a position to defln-' Itely obtain such.
