HASHEESH USED BY
ORIENTAL DREAMERS
Egyptian Government Prohibits
Importation of the Drug

Hasheesh, that strange drug which
has given our language its word ''ess-
sassin "a man SO frenzied by the
drug that he accomplishes MURDERS
used by the Persians, Turks and Egypt
ians in manner akin to the use of
opium by the Chinese. 1t is the prod
uct of a plant grown in large quanti-
ties in the Peloponnesus (southern
Greece), in the district about Tripo-
litza-
The plant grows to height of about
four feet and its branches are thickly
covered with small leaves and studded
with tiny seeds. The entire plant, stalk
and branches, is cut within a few Inches
of the root and laid out in the sun to
dry. The branches are then rubbed to
separate the seeds. and these in turn
e ground into a fine powder, which
constitutes the drug. Inc drug has
the power of inducing sleep and pro-
ducing pleasant and fantastic dreams
Continued use. of hasheesh renders its
devotees reckless and results in a
wreck of their mental and physical
constitution.
For this reason the Egyptian govern
ment has prohibited the importation Of
the drug. and recently entered into a
IGNITION with Greece to prevent its
expectation from there to Egypt. where
the consumers of hasheesh are very
numerous. The drug is practically
never used in Greece, but is now ex-
ported TO England. Austria France and
italy, and from there much no doubt
ultimately finds its way TO Egvpt.-

Marathon Racers Train For
Benefit Of Fans

The runners who are 10 meet in the
vilion on Tuesday evening next will
train for the benefit Of the public this
afternoon on the Auditorium track
Most OF them will cover Is miles as a
final effort for the long hike of &c
miles and 3S5 yards. the fun Marathon
distance. which is to be covered In the
big race. All of the runners are re-
ported to be fit and ready, and with so
many entries a great struggle may be
looked for
The fact that Soldier King will have
three sailors from the West Virginia
as competitors adds little spice TO
the affair. and the boys in blue from
the Preside and the bluejackets from
the warships will have plenty of Op-
portunity to enthuse and root.
Cusick, one of the sailors. is a full
blooded Indian. a graduate of the Car
Isle Indian school, and his shipmates
look for him TO hang up very high
mark for speed. He uses the deck of
the cruiser in company with Ryan and
Plummer, the other sailors who will
race. and as the course on the deck
measures 16 laps to the mile. it gives
the salt water boys plenty of room in
which to run.
Garcia and Stanlay are likely to prove
surprises. as both have been working
hard since the previous Marathon. and
are nit and ready TO go the full dis
tanee. 1t promises TO h. an exciting
affair, and with a Japanese long dis
lance runner in the field. the contest
is a unique one. The general admission
is so cents and the reserved seats 75
cents.

LOW DEATH RATES IN
SWEDEN AND NORWAY
Both Countries Wage War on
PreventabIe Disease

The countries having the lowest
death rate in Europe are Sweden and
Norway. In Sweden, ACCORDING to a
Paris contemporary, the death rate.
which in 1880 attained 17.7 per thou
sand, had fallen in 1906 to 14.3. and in
the same period infant mortality had
declined from 112.7 to 1922. Taking Nor
way, we find that the mortality from
adults, and from 95.9 to 1914 among in
fantS.
In France the average mortality was
20 per thousand. Taking the rate of
Sweden, France would gain each year
216.000. and compared with Norway,
x47.00O. The French infant mortality
is $50 per thousand. so if the conditions
were the same as in Norway there
would be a saving of infant life of a.
$50.
The foregoing statistics have bean
collected by DR.. Jules Courmont. who
was sent on a mission to Scandinavia
in 1908. He attributes the happy state
of things in Norway and Sweden to
several causes. among which are tn
cluded the hygienic customs of the peo
perfect hospital organization which
deals in cases of infection precisely the
same with rich and poor. and the hy-
gienic care exercised by all classes OF
the community.
That which most impressed the
discipline shown in both countries in
the fight against preventabIe diseases
Every person pays the greatest respect
to scientific and medical discoveries
and every one from the public officials
down to the humblest citizen has an
liberty is always subservfent to the
public good.--London Globe.

Funds to Be Raised to Send
Team to Chicago

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, MAY Il
An active campaign has been started
here by the undergraduates to col
lect sufficient money TO send a track
team of seven or eight men and a
trainer east to the conference meet at
Chicago. While it has been definitely
decided that team of a few men will
make the trip, it is now a matter of
increasing the size of the funds TO take
a creditable team.
The executive committee of the as
ISOLATED students has recently appoint
ed a committee of undergraduates TO
prepare a program for a big enter

realized in this manner.
At the present time Manager ]. f.

SANTA ROSA GIRLS
MAY PROTEST
GAME
Lowell Lassies Win Basket Ball
Championship, but Losers
Are Dissatisfied
By Bob Shand

OAKLAND, May 1.-THE girls of the
Lowell high school won the high
school basket ball championship
after rough game with the
Santa Rosa high school played
In the st. Mary's college gmn-
nasium this morning. The final score
was II TO .. The Iassies from the
sonoma county seat were far from
satisfied with the decision and de-
clared that they would protest the
game. Miss Minnie Cooper, captain
of the Santa Rosans, said that her
team got all the worst of the referee
ing and that the umpire was incom-
petent- She further ann4unced that
she protested against a woman ref
erecting the game and accepted Miss
Brown of the University of Cali
fornia under protest.
Throughout the contest there were
many decisions which made. the Santa
Rosans sore, and the referee on sew
eral occasions had to consult the rule
book to get her bearings. The up
country girls played much the better
game, the combination of the forwards
being especially clever, but the good
work they did in scoring field goals
was offset by the clever standing
throws OF MISS ScONllle of the Lowell
who scored repeatedly from fouls
Lowell led at thes end of the first
period by a score of to Adult after
the game was all in favor of the Santa
Rosans.
Santa Rosa simply played rings
around the city girls in this half. but
every time they would score a goal
from the field the other side would
come back with standing goal,
awarded for some infraction of the
rules. Toward the end of the contest
the game became very rough. both
sides apparently being willing to sac
rifce everything to win. Miss Nellie
Lonergan of the Santa Rosans scored
two clever field goals for her side
and the others were secured princi-
pally from fouls. Lowell evened up
by placing the ball in the basket
from standing throws At the end
of the allotted period the score was
tied at apiece and extra time was
ordered.
Lowell secured two more goals from
fouls in the extra period and won a
contest in which the defeated side
played by far the better game. The
teams were as follows:
Lowell-Eloise Scoville. Louise De
Villiss (manager), Clarice Patterson.
Jeanette Joseph, Muriel Cartwright,
Mime Hack, Helen Aver (captain).
Santa Rosa-Minnie Cooper (eap-
tain). Ida Haynie Lucille Cable Oman
ager). Ruth Sumner, Lily Lewis, Nellie
Lonergan and Irene Warhays.
