of the grade of rear iniral from April 9,
1909 Whether that special reference to
retired pay will prevent the payment of
the full pay to Admiral Peary for active
duty will be determined by the law off,

The question OF the amount Of back n. >,

Accused of Restricting Corpse.

The record on the brick says this joker
was buried alive following a charge Of
resurrecting corpse.
The bulletin which the Smithsonian In
stitution sent out is a gleeftil bit OF writ
ing and smacks of none Of the scientific
terms which usually emanate In large
quantities from that lowered building
The first sentence is q sample:
"If you should happen to be notified

TRICK AN ANCIENT ONE
Smithsonian Institution Issues Bull
letin on Subject Anticipating
April Fools Day.

April Fools day has been recognized
officially by the serious body OF govern
:nent scientists in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition in a manner that will wreak havoc
among a lot OF gleeful persons who every
year get their friends to call up Columbia
IA and ask for Mr.. Bear, or Miss Camp
bell, or Mr.. Fox, or Mr.. Lyon, or to ask
the date on the ofiicial seal, or some such
perfectly screaming bit of nonsense.
In fact the Smithsonian Institution has
issued bulletin on the subject, saying
that the Zoo is to be cut of from miscel-
laneous April Fool telephone communica-
ton Saturday. The Zoos telephone call
is Columbia IA, and every year, April 1.
scores OF sullible persons call up and
worry the life out Of the people In the
Office of DR.. Frank Baker, superintendent.
Two hundred people tried 1t last year.
The general method of working this
wonderfully funny piece of April fooiery
is something like this:
Jones goes out to lunch. When he
comes back. wearing his hat over his eye
and slanting a toothpick upward, he
espies a scrawled memorandum on his
desk, Call up Columbia IA and ask for
Mr. Lyon"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-03-30
Jones Gets Interested.

II Jones Is rapid about it he will call
right away. II he is one of the sort who
wonders who Mr.. Lyon is he will go
through the antics Of a woman looking
at a telegram envelope in an effort to
recognize the handwriting. He will
search his brain for the memory Of MIR.
Lyon. or he will take the telephone book
and go through the L section from start
to finish and then back again. Mean
while the humorous party, who has
evolved-or, rather. resurrected from Its
ancient tomb-this hoary old joke, is IN
danger from an explosion from within.
He goes about the office digging people
In the ribs to get them to look at old
Jones'" and the wonder is that the April
| foo! joker does not die of apoplexy.
And when Jones really does call up
when the dawn Of his intelligence throws
it's rays upon the true inwardness and
wonderful subtlety Of this joke, then the
April fool joker lays back in his chair
and laughs and roars, chuckles and gasps
and whoops and hollers, calls for water
and pounds Jones on the back and sends
out for every one to come in and listen
to the marvellous story Of how he tricked
old Jones. Whew! Isn't it grand to be
funny?
ton people, 200 persons tried that trick
last year. Many Of them We're grand
children of the people who tried it first In
the District Of Columbia. The Smith
sonian Institution is interested In 1t from
an archaeological standpoint; They have
an ancient brick dug up on the Nile some
where Its cuneiform sentences tell about
an Egyptian sport who sailed along
the F street Of Thebes and called out to
a comrade:
"Ho. Hor.nmenes. call We up the pal
ace and ask them il they want to play
! a game of Pharaoh.

the physician who gave It originally,
and securing his authority for refill

But, despite this, despite every effort
that is made by officials to check and
control the use Of opiates, dope
fiends" get the drugs. Some Of them
get them in FL Paso and some Of them

Of them, especially the negroes
They walk into drug store, hold
up two fingers and get what they are
after. They never say a word, just
take what is given to them, pay for II
and walk out. They get morphine.
Others who want other drugs have
other signals, and each one works"
Heavy Fines Against "JOints.s
Under the city ordinance Of Ell Paso,
a place where opium IS smoked is clas-
sified as a disorderly house, and the
person who conducts IL Is liable to a
fine Of 5000 for each day he conducts
such a resort.
Those who visit such a place and
smoke opium therein are liable to q
fine Of from SO to 500.
Frequently raids on these places are
made by the police and opium outfits
consisting Of pipes. opium, lamps and
the needles required for rolling the
pills, are confiscated.
The smokers are fined, but they man
age TO get other outfits. and despite
the efforts of the United States author
