Seeking Remedies
for Drug Habits.


rr,u the Illicit cocaine
A0A - o6 AA"s'' traffic in the Unit
ed States has brought in many inquiries
from persons who want to know why the
same law will not be used to cover the
traffic in other dangerous habit-forming
drugs. Among the drugs about the con-
troll of which inquiries have been made
are opium. morphine, codein. heroin,
dionin. peronin and several others.
The reason which has been given by
officials at the Treasury Department and
the bureau Of chemistry is that the i'm
portatiOn of opium and its derivatives.
such as morphine and other drugs. is
now regulated, to a greater or lesser ex-
tent. by the special opium law Of 1909.
While this law does not give as thor
ough control of the traffic In these drugs
as the new Treasury Department regula-
ton will provide for the control Of CO.
caine. coca and Its derivatives, it was not
considered wise to include opium and
opium preparations for the reason that
the administration of the new regulation
might conflict with the operation of the
opium law Of 1909. If 1t is found that the
new regulation works well on the control
OF cocaine 1t is possible that request
VIII be made for the repeal of the opium
law and the application Of the pure food
law TO all habit-forming drugs.
The new cocaine regulation will make
1t necessary for an affidavit to be filled
out and signed for every sale OF cocaine
from the time it reaches the importer at
one or the large ports until 1t reaches
the hands of the ultimate consumer.
These afhdavits will have to be sworn to
and record Of the same will have to be
made by the dealer. and both sales book
and affidavits kept on file for regular in
spection by government officials.
Pians are now being made for printing
the forms Of afhdavits which will have
to be signed by each importer and pur--
chaser of cocaine. and also the forms OF
record which each dealer Will have to
keep and submit to the bureau of chem
istry in January Of each year. The start
Which the government has made In con-
troiiing the use Of dangerous habit-form-
ing drugs is in line with the course which
mas been pursued by number OF for
elgn countries which have restricted the
sale and use of these drugs most rigid
~ Tor number of years. Nothing In
the governments regulation will restrict
the use OF cocaine in legitimate medical
practice, for it Is recognized. of course,
that only the indiscriminate and promis-
cuous use OF cocaine. opium, morphine
and other drugs is dangerous and that
the administration of these agents by
skillful hands contributes to the relief OF
pain and suffering

Uncle Sam will have invited more than
100000 mothers of
Home and School the country to join in
r-a. the working out of a
Auo"SoA' cooperative pla
whereby it is hoped to bring home and
school nearer together. to help the parent
to get the viewpoint Of the teacher on one
hand and on the other to help the teach
er to guide little Johnny or Mary along
lines of thought and work which will
make the child greater help in the
home and assist It to develop into q bet
ter citizen in the nation.
During the hot months of summer when
both grown-ups and children are giving
more attention to vacation plans than to
school matters, experts In the United
States bureau Of education have just be-
gun the organization of a new division
to direct this new cooperative work.
Of the most important American institu-
tons, the school and the home For the
want of better name, the new branch
of the bureau has been called the di-
vision Of home education, which might
suggest that the purpose OF the govern
ment Is to turn homes Into schools. The
announcement OF cooperation between
parent and teacher, however, is the sole
purpose Of the division. and in no man
ner will its work conflict with the. ac-
The National Congress of Mothers of
the United States Is responsible for the
establishment OF the new branch of the
bureau Of education. The division now
being organized will not be provided for
out of government funds, but will be
maintained by virtue of cooperative
arrangement with this large mothers or
ganization. which will provide financial
backing for the work. which will be
directed and supervised by experts of the
bureau of education. This method OF
providing for the work is similar to the
plan followed by the government In
conducting the cooperative farm demon
stration work in the south. which is
made possible largely by funds provided
by the general education board. a part
of the Rockefeller Foundation. The same
system Of government cooperation with
sem-private institutions is in operation
in financing the new rural organiZat ion
service Of the Department of Agriculture.
Congress providing $4,000 for part OF
the work and the general education board
subscribing larger amounts to extend the
| lines of investigations.
The new division Of home education
will enable the government to give
official sanction to the important work
of the parent-teacher associations
which have been encouraged by the
National Congress of Mothers, and
which are now organized in most of
the large school centers of the country.

GOOD DEFINITION OF "CHlC"
Visiting Englishman Well Describes
the Elegant Women Who Are the
Pride of New York.

Lord Morley, at a luncheon at the
Ritz-Carlton in New Ycrk, said of the
American woman:
The American woman as she
glides in her motorcar down Fifth
avenue, CT as she hurries from her
jewelers. to Sherry's. is perhaps the
most elegant woman III the world.
Fifth avenue is perhaps the most
elegant street in the world. Broad
and straight. bordered with splendid
shops and hotels of pale stone,
drenched with sunshine and rC1fed
with a luminous blue sky, Fifth ave
nue. is {, fitting promenade for Ameri-
cas- beautiful 'Somen.
But these women dress, perhaps, a
little too boldly for the street. Take,
for example. their tight gowns winI
slit at the side-a slit through which
advances and retreats slim foot in
a patent leather shoe and a supple
ankle in a gossamer silk stocking.
This is perhaps too overwhelming a
costume for street wear.
Yet in such a costume the Ameri-
can woman is undoubtedly chic. And
this raises the question: What is
CHIEF"
Lord Morley paused and smiled
Then he continued:
Chic, I would reply, is the art of
wearing bold gown modestly.'
