DOPE FIEND STEALS
NEEDLE AND DRUGS
DR.. H, c. ChiIds Reports the
Loss Of Syringe and
Morphine.

That there still are drug fiends in
Tulsa, in spite of efforts of the po-
lice to rid the city of such undesir-
ables. became apparent at noon yes
terday when the office of DR.. H. G.
Childs, 304 Ohio building, was broken
into and a hypOdermic syringe and
morphine valued at $S5 stolen. Owing
to the fact that DR.. Childs was at
luncheon when the burglary took
place, he was unable to aid the police
in their search for the intruder.
Therefore, no arrest in the case had
been made up to an early hour this
morning
AS was his custom, DR.. Childs did
not close his office door when he
left II is probable the fiend, who
had acquainted himself with the ply
sician's monday habits, waited until
the offices had been vacated, then
entered and helped himself to what
he wanted. Upon the doctors return
he had occasion to use the hypoder-
mic, but was unable to find it. Later
he discovered a considerable guam
tity of morphine also was missing
This was the fourth burglary OF the
kind reported to the police during the
past six weeks, and illustrates to what
extremes those addicted to the drug
habit will go to satisfy their craving
The federal narcotic law has made
buying dope" at drug stores prac-
tically impossible while bootleggers
are said TO have given up because of
more or less labor attached to secur-
ing the drug elsewhere and disposing
of it in small lots
Physicians are advised to not only
Eeep their narcotics under lock and
key all the time, but to lock their
offices before leaving. BY this pre-
caution they will avoid loss of valu-
able drugs and instruments.

Report When You Leave.
Although many residents Of Tulsa
who have left on their vacations have
notified chief Burns Of their places Of
residence and how long they expect
TO be gone, there are many who have
not made these reports Several weeks
ago the chief cautioned all vacation
lists against leaving their homes with
out first notifying him. as then II
would be possible for patromon to
pay particular attention to such
premises
Motorcycle patrolmen have explicit
orders TO watch closely all houses
temporarily vacant and through the
activity Of these officers many burg
laries undoubtedly have been pre-
vented. Chef Burns rencws his plea
for all who intend to leave the city
to first notify him While such prop
orty through such action probably
will not be made totally immune to
burglary. the chances of robbery will
be greatly diminished through watch
fulness of the policeman on the beat
and the pOp-pop squad
Burglar Got u watch.
A burglar who gained entrance to
the home of Mrs. c. H. Carpenter,
801 South Cincinnati avenue, last
Tuesday night by cutting out win
dow screen, stole a gold watch The
furglary was not discovered until yes
terday morning, when the police were
notified.

KING DENIES HE
USED A HANDAX
Evidence, However, Would Tend TO
Show That Adversary Had
Hammer.

when l.. A. King of Turley several
days ago filed complaint against
David Rike, charging him with at
lacking him with a hammer, he failed
to mention that he had used hand
ak during the argument. Therefore,
Rikc was discharged by Justice Lee
Daniel following trial Of the case yes
tcrday afternoon.
During his testimony King denied
he had used a hand-aX, but even
his own witnesses were quite certain
when he saw his adversary approach
ing with the hammer, he picked up
an AK and prepared to meet him.
Neither were badly hurt.
The trouble was the outcome OF
Kings efforts to grade a road in Tur-
ley. Rike objected and refused to
permit the work in front of his
premises, although King is said to
have been authorized to perform the
duty by the county surveyor.

The publicity campaign is well
under way and includes 325 newspa-

THURSDAY, july %, 1915.

President Underwood, OF the Erie, re-
commendS reduction of passenger IA
res to one cents mile, and for suburban
traffic lower rates than cent mile
He believes that the common carriers
should make travel cheap enough to
encourage the masses.
There is theory that everyone
must pay freight, directly or indirectly
and that the reduction Of freight rates
is of first importance, even i high pas
senger rates must be maintained to
make up the loss But high passenger
rates dc not necessarily make mp loss.
They may create one.
To the average wage.earner in
America, and he is well paid, travel is
luxury in which he may indulge only

necessity which cuts into his savings

Price OF Farm Lands.

| No doubt agriculture shows lower
rate Of return on the capital invest
ment than any other important bust
ness. After charging up the farmer
own labor and a reasonable allowance
for depreciation OF buildings and ma
chinery, it is doubtful whether farms,
as a whole, would show a return OF ;
per cent on their current valuation.
The true figure may tie considerably
less. But probably that condition will
always prevail, because capital, on the
whole, is invested in farms on basis
different from that governing most in
yestments.
For one thing, there is the historic
fact that farm lands have greatly APP
preciated in value over large part OF
the country. The buyer often looks TO
40 expected appreciation quite as much
AS to the immediate returns More
important than that, the buyer OF a
farm usually expects to supply his own
labor on it, and for tina. privilege he
IS willing to pay a premium. Say lie
has $4,000. lie can put it into a . per
cent railroad bond ana get 800 "a year,
or he can put il into farm, getting
$3.50 not return upon his capital after
paying himself $500 IN wages and haN-
ing, meantime, his house rent, milk,
butter, eggs, vegetables, and so on,
lie prefers the per cent. investment
TO the per cent one.
1t is we'll known, TOO, that the price
of farm lands tends TO be fixed by re-
suits on the best managed farms in the
neighbvrhood, or by what the most
skiurul farmers can get out OF them.
Undoubtedly many individual farmers
met much more thanj per cent On
their investments. Others viii buy IN
the hope Of doing as well.
For these reasons, no doubt, farming
will always yield an average low return
on the investment. Suppose the farms
10 given region now show net re-
turn olj per cent. Suppose p'oouetV.
| lty were suddenly 50 increased as 20
raise the net return % per cent We
should then expect to see the price Of
farm lands marked mp 20 per cent, so
that the net return would again he
only , per cent on current valuation.

Wood in Musical Instruments.

1t is a fact that the supreme func-
ton Of wood when employed in musi-
cal Instruments. as sounding boards
in pianos. the top Of the violin, the
organ pipe or the phonograph horn, IS
to modify and enrich the tones. they
originate clsewhere-in the piano,
harp or violin strings, the air column
in the pipe or the disk Of the phono-
graph-but the wood picks them up
beauties and enriches them III a
wonderful and mysterious manner
and transmits them to the outer ar,
from which the nearer receives them'
Therein lies the woods superiority
in the peculiar field, and there, appar'
entity, il win remain until some IN
yentor shall discover something TO
take It's place, but not in the musicai
instrument industry, where douDtfu'
innovations are not welcomed.
