VIII give them an effective tool 70 use
In the effort TO check the Illicit use
or cocaine. heroin, morphine and 9th.
or dangerous drugs In this country.
DR.. Lyman T. Kebler, chief Of the
drug division OF the United States
bureau Of chemistry, has frequently
pointed out that the use of opium.
morphine and cocaine In this country
IL excessive and far beyond what II
demanded In legitimate medicinal use.
The United States, for instance, with
q population of only 100.000, 900, Inn
ports and consumes 100000 pounds
or opium year. or eight times the
amount imported and consumed by
the people OF Italy, Spain, Germany,
Austria Hungary and Holland, with
combined population Of more than
100000
In considering the present bill now
pending In the senate, the COMMITTEES
discovered that the increase In the
use or opium In the United States
during the past so years has been 361
per cent. whereas the population has
increased only 131 per cent. Il ID
estimated that $1,000 ounces OF CO.
caine are suficient for all legitimate
medical uses In this country saeh
year. Ten times that amount, how.
ever, or 10000 ounces. Is imported.
and drug experts point out that q
large part Of the products imported
must pass into Illicit traflc such as
that which Is alleged 10 have been
carried on at Sing Sing and which
Mt various times has been thought
to exist In other institutions Of tho
country. The making Of drug hends
has become q practice In many Of
the larger cities, and several years
ago In New York city peddlers were
discovered selling cocaine to school
children in small doses.

Underwood amendment TO the senate

reclamation law except out OF appro-
priations made annually by congress
therefor, and the secretary OF the in

1t is not an easy thing to carry
level head through life. The majority
of mistakes which bring failure and
disgrace are made when people lose
their self poise and fail to use good
judgment
One of the most difficult things for
a young man to do is to keep a level
head. 1t is SO easy to lose ones bal
ance, to get a "swelled head" over a
little prosperity, to lose ones am
bition for forging &head by raise in
salary. A little ease and comfort are
great tempters, great destroyers of
ambition.
1t is difficult thing to keep level
head when the storms of temptation
and financial difficulties are raging
about one; but it is easier than in
prosperity. There is something in
human nature which braces up
against adversely, which stiffens up
when the world goes hard and makes
one tug the harder; but somehow
ease, comfort and the thought of
prosperity take the spring out of the
ambition. The motive to push ahead,
to struggle, to strive, is usually
weakened by the feeling of satisfac-
ton that one has achieved something
worth while, that he has gained what
he started out to get
In perfectly adjusted machine
every part is made with reference to
every other part. The movement of
every wheel in a perfect timepiece
must be exquisitely adjusted to the
entire watch, and each must be suit
ed to every other wheel in the watch.
You would not boast of your watch
because it had very powerful main
spring while all the other parts were
very delicately constructed and were
not intended for SO much power. We
value a watch in proportion as it
keeps perfect time, for this is it's pur-
pose.
Most people do not realize how
much their success depends upon their
general reputation. 1t will make all
the difference in the world to you
what people think of you, how they
estimate your ability, what your repu-
tation is for "square-dealing," level
headedness and good, sound judg-
ment.
Unfortunately the training and edu-
cation Of the great majority of youths
are not calculated to develop sym
metry of faculty, balance of mental
power. There should be no discrep-
ancy between the physical and the
mental training; no one faculty should
be forced out of all proportion until
the balance is lost.

LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Prop
erty Destruction in Six
Months Conflict

The destruction of war is not nearly
as great as it seems, Engineering Maya
zine states II people do not produce
neither do they consume, and the man
who may have been making and spend
ing $40 day comes down to the 81
or even to the ten-cent level without
particular detriment to himself or to
his similarly-placed neighbors. The
total wealth of Germany is $500, 000,-
900 and even if the actual war wastes
were 100000 day this in whole
year would amount to less than 1 pei
cent Of the accumulated wealth of the
fatherland. The average death rate in
Germany is probably twenty per thou
sand, or 100000 a year. Kill 1,0O0,-
600 soldiers and you have only doubled
for one year the normal outflow. In
four years, If the normal rate were
lessened from 20 to Is per cent, the
loss would be numerically made up.
The loss Of life, the loss of time, the
loss of property in a six-months war
is, after all, insignificant compared to
the great enduring life of the nation.
Recuperation will be rapid.

FLOWER ON THE LEFT HIP
Fashions Sudden Change From Style
Which Only Recently Had
Been Adopted.

A few weeks ago fashionable women
thought they had struck the newest
note when they began to wear their
artificial flower somewhere under the
left ear, but fashion forever eludes the
grasp of it's devotees. And now just
as we have readjusted the artificial
flowers on all our gowns fashion
changes her mind The left hip is now
the correct point for the rose or poppy
that lends distinction to the gown. A
new green satin evening frock shows o
large pink rose on the left hip and one
of the new Premet models is a cream
color taffeta with a large black velvet
poppy caught nonchalantly on the
skirt at the same point. Whether or
not we shall wear the boutonniere
chosen for our autumn suit on the left
hip of the skirt is a matter for specu-
lation. Stranger whims than that has
fashion taken ~

HAT FOR THE STREET
PROPULSION OF cOLORS AND
TRIMMINGS ALLOWED.
Smartest Headgear Is Gay With All
the 7ints of Autumn-Many New
and Pretty Shades Have
Already Appeared.

Where last year hats were popular
iy of black, in the autumn showing
one may note this year profusion of
colored hats and trimmings. Sand
color-the new shade, soft grayish
tan-is delicate and pretty for the
more formal occasion. Midnight and
marine blue also make smart head
gear. Watermelon pink featherings,
maroon velvet and other tones of
the darker reds find varied uses on au-
tumn millinery.
In beet-red is a smart street hat.
Made of wool bedford, it was a small
turban, conservative in all but color,
LOT the narrow brim rolled but slight
ly on each side. A bedford band en-
crcllng the moderately high crown
was fast by self-buckle
A pretty canotier, a recent importa-
ton, was of that dark color which is
midway between maroon and purple,
and is looked upon favorably for the
coming season. Two small curled os-
trich feathers, slightly shaded, were
perched at the edge of the gracefully
curved brim, and turned slightly over
the edge. Rich and quietly subdued
was the aspect of the hat.
Another red hat seen at recent
exhibition was of peculiar shape

deeply scalloped at the edge and bound

encircled the round low crown, fasten-
ing at the side in plain, long ended

large, garnet, upturned sailor was I'M

as the garnet was severe. is the beau
tlful sand-colored cantonier of Reboux.
The upper brim was concealed by a
ring of similarly colored ostrich and
marabou feathers, forming a large,
artistic swirl at the left side. A trife
In front of this festoon were two or
three flowers and their foliage, in an
opalescent pearl finish that seemed to
reflect and add to the color of the
rest of the hat.
One exceptionally smart turban in
black satin had two wisps of white
peacock around the upper edge of the
sloping, long crown, and another
shooting up abruptly at the front side.
