tho heat that radium evolves Is the
direct outcome of explosions of the

Experts Work on Water Power Polio

I have criticised it and approved it.
The basis of the plan is develop
ment without delay of water power
sites. The plan holds that private
capital must be aided by the state or
nation through corporate franchises,
condemnation Of private property, and
licenses to use public lands and OBJ
struct public waters, etc. Under the
plan, the power companies would have
certainty of tenure for a reasonable
time, and chance for generous
profits on their actual investment. For
the public, the plan attempts to pro.
vide for good service, fair prices, full
publicity as to cost honest capitaliza-
tion and fair rentals for public prop
erty used by the companies.
The plan comedies that the federal
government has no jurisdiction in
dealing with the problem of power
sites unless its land is to be occupied,
or navigable rivers affected. 1t is pro-
posed that the regulation of service
and prices is to be function Of the
state, leaving to the national govern
ment the duty of obtaining prompt,
full and orderly development, q rea-
sonable time limit for the leases, pub
llcity as to financiering and fair rent
ais for federal property used, perhaps
paying part of the proceeds to the
state. The associations plan was
submitted to the proper committees
in congress.

so many different fads that no brief
article would suffice TO catalogue them
all. However, the former president
attributes much of his energy and in
tense interest in life to the fact that
he not only has plenty of fads to al
low for that variety which is the spice
Of existence but is always attempting
something new.
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of
the telephone, has for some years past
had kite flying as fad and has
busted himself with all sorts of in
teresting experiments with a new
type of triangular shaped kite which
he has developed, his experiments
even including the operation of wire
less telegraphy via kites. Emil Ber-
liner, another famous inventor, who
contributed to the present day tele-
phone and phonograph, is now dab
bling with airships as a pastime.
Thomas Edison finds relief from his
high pressure work by long automo-
bile tours combined with camping ex-
periences when he literally sleeps in
tho open.
AS almost every newspaper reader
knows the chief fad of J. Pierpont
Morgan, the financier is pictures and
other art objects, but he is also very
fond of yachting. John D. Rockefel-
Ter is another well known man whose
especial failing is golf No end OF
Aldrich, Thomas w. Lawson, Senator
La Toilette and others indulge in

the hobby of many men in public life
and bicycling has long had an espe-

tary of State Adee, who goes to Eu-
rope every year and devotes some
weeks to wheeling on the fine roads
of France and other countries.

III HILE trying to cooperate with

having troubles Of its own in dealing
With the problem in the United States.

Iumed by the unfortunates known pop
llarly as dope fends."
OF such dope fiends there are a
number of species, which is one rea-
ION why the opium problem is so hard
% tackle successfully. There are, to
begin with, the smokers Of opium,
who are said to compose an army Of
Lbout 10000 of our citizens. These,
however, are a minority in the total
number of victims, most Of whom pur-
sue the destructive habit in its more
highly specialized forms, particularly
the taking of morphine in pills or by
hypodermic injection.
AS fast as a stop is put to one
method of procuring or using the
drug, another springs up in response

Trouble in Dealing With Drug Evil

to an unfailing and always profitable
demand. For instance, the average
apothecary nowadays finds a large
and unprecedented demand for "co-
deine"-one of the alkaloids, or active
principles, of opium. It is only about
one-third as powerful as morphine, but
acts similarly. The sale of morphine
is forbidden by law nearly every.
where at the present time, except on
prescription by a physician, but in
most Of the states there is no such
restriction in regard to codeine-
whence the growing popularity Of the
latter.
The sale of "heroin" also has great.
Iy increased since the enforcement of
restrictions on opium and morphine.
This is what chemists would term a
morphine derivative"-th is to say,
a substance derived from morphine by
certain monkeyings in the laboratory.
1t acts just like morphine, and the
habit formed by taking it is not less
destructive. Yet at the present time
there is nowhere any law or ordi-
nance against the sale of "heroin,"
and the only charge that can be
brought against a druggist who sup
plies it is that he deals in a danger
GUS poison.
But what is the use? Where opium
itself is taken as habit, it is in most
instances consumed in the form of
tincture-that is to say, as laudanum.
The sale of laudanum, save on pre-
scription, is forbidden in most of the
states; yet the "fiends" manage to get
it in one way or another.
