LITTLE ROCK DRUGGIST FINED
 FOR SELLING MORPHINE

Little Rock, Aug. 2l.-A Little Rock Druggist was yesterday fined s5 in police court on a charge of sell ing morphine tablets in violation of recent city ordinance, which prohi- hits the sale of all narcotics except on the prescription of physician. He explained that he had been out of the city and knew nothing of the law un- til he was arrested. He approved the law, however, and announced that he would not take an appeal but would pay his fine.
 This course is being pursued by the aty in defiance of the opinion given by Attorney General Moose that the ordinance is in conflict with the state statutes, and therefore void and un- enforceable. But the city admins tratlon has given orders for it's en- forcement, and all violators will be haied into police court.
 So far as has developed there is no open opposition to the ordinance among the reputable physicians and ufugglsts, who refuse all applications Tor the purchase of heroin and other narcotic drugs unless accompanied by a prescription from a regularly licens- ed physician.

The New Years festivities in China
are prolonged for two weeks, and
sometimes month. The time Is spent
in making visits, exchanging gifts and
feasting. According to an ancient tra-
diion In China the first day Of the
year is called the fowls day, the Sec
ond the dogs day, the third the pigs
day, the fourth the sheep's day, the
fifth the cows day, the sixth the
horses day and the seventh mans day,
