What Are We Going to Do With
 the Victims of the Drug Habit?
By MRS. J. B. REID

It is never pleasant to bear an unpleas- ant message. but sometimes it is inn perative. There are things we should know in order to remedy. Only those in touch with the down and outs'' know the true condition of the dope fiends since the passage of the drug law. Of itself it will be a great revolution for future welfare, but the present effects are heart-rending today. Old men and old women who have been almost with out their daily bread and have been sus- tained by the drug, now that it is for bidden, are writhing in pain and despair.
 Young men and young women who have wasted their lives in dope are begging for anything-death-in preference to their present state. The scene beggars description. More than 500 are waiting, anWously hoping, for "a shot" or some thing to tide them over the periods of mo medicine
 Twelve women are at the Pisgah home waiting the treatment and others are beg ging for a place to go. They are with out money and seemingly without friends. Their very own. if they have those near to them, seem ashamed to acknowledge their wards, and thus they wander, walk ing off the spell and crying for help.
 There are great, strong mothers. anx- ious for the welfare of their babies. who have the habit-have ''doped" for years. and probably would have until the end of time had not the hands of a wise law said stop.

stricter Game Law for Farmers

otIiCteI uduic LAW IOi II diiuCiS To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 I notice suggestion in your paper by MT. Frank Richardson of Mooresville of state dog tax. A good suggestion, and should be acted upon by all means. And another important measure that our leg islature should enact is an amendment to our game law. It Is well-known fact that birds are among the farmers best friends. They destroy thousands of insects and grubs that are injurious to crops The quail, or bob white is known to eat thousands Of the cotton or Mexican weevils. In fact. 1t is the best destroyer of this pest known, besides thousands of weed and grass seeds that are detrlmen- tai to the farmer. And yet sportsmen and others are allowed to kill them for sport. The birds have been slaughtered until they have become scarce. Protect them by law, have no open season, make it heavy penalty to kill bird anytime of the year, make 1t so heavy that few will take the risk of prosecution Allow half of the fine to the informant as an induce ment. Compel wardens, sheriffs and other officers to enforce the law. Our present game law is not enforced as it should be. People in this section are still hunting now, although the open season closed March 1. The law provides a fine of not less than s1o, 8 going to the state and 8 to the county warden. with no in ducement for anybody to report violations and consequently the law is disregarded and boldly violated. Our legislators claim to be doing so much for the inter- aaf nf ba They Rhoui0 give them this law which would be of much benefit to them

 The object lesson which some say Is to be discovered in this highly spectacu- lar and important movement of funds Is that there is no legislation which can without causing chaos interfere with the natural operation of economic laws. The The public has been given opportunity to eliminate the so-called money trust, but the public does not care to do 1t. The federal reserve system will in due time reveal it's true quality. which is the mobilizing of credit and its swift con centration here or there as may be need ed. There is hint that the federal re- serve institutions may speedily be called upon. by making use of their credit, creating facilities, to Ndo their part in stimulating and increasing domestic busi- ness in the recent publication supervised and probably written by Frank A.

NEW DECATUR

New Decatur, April 6.--The home of Judge Osceola Kyle, prominent member of the local bar burned to the ground here shortly after o'clock this morn ing. It is supposed the fire originated from a Hue. The Decatur fire department assisted the New Decatur department in fighting the flames. In addition to the building. Judge Kyle lost a good part of a valuable library The loss is prac- tically covered by insurance. and the house will be rebuilt at an early date.
 Announcement was made here today by Sheriff Foreman that publication of the federal liquor licenses issued to retailers in Morgan county would be discontinued. The reason assigned is that no licenses have been Issued for many months. and the publication is an unwarranted ex- pense. As the state laws require the publication of the licenses. an interesting point will be raised by the action of the local officer.
 Lee Carter, implicated in the operation of dstilery on Bank street, the lead ing business thoroughfare of Decatur, has been released from the federal peni- tentlary dt Atidnta, according to auNices reaching here. He was sent up for IS months for violation of the internal rev enue laws. but was granted time off for good behavior.

|ROYAL HOUSEHOLD
SMALL DRINKERS
Banlshment OF Drink From the Royal
Household VIII Have
Small Effect.

London, May L. Correspondence
OF the Associated Press. THE ban.
ming OF alcohol from the royal house.
hold viii fall rather lightly on King
George, who. according to court OF.
iicials, IL almost an abstainer even In
normal times. lie has occasionally
taken a small glass OF claret with his
luncheon. but more often he preferred
aerated water. AT dinner, burgundy
and champagne we're always served,
but the King frequently tasted neither
one, ard never INDUCED In more than
a minute quantity.
The Queens tate In alcoholic bev.
erages Is as restricted as the Kings,
while Princess Mary sacrcely knows
the taste OF wine.
Since the ban on alcoholics at court
was promulgated, the energies OF the
kitchen stan have been turned to de-
wishing various palatable temperance
drinks. The usual parchment wine
list" is still made out daily and laid
on the Kings table In It's customary
silver frame, but the list OF available
drinks is limited to lemonade, ginger
beer. soda water, fruit cups and the
Kings favorte, barley water.
Although the royal wine cellars,
with their almost priceless store Of
vintage wines. are technically fasten.
ed up for the duration of the war. they
are not really kept sealed. for periodi-
cal entrances have to be made, as spe
cial temperatures and humidlties
must be maintained in various com
partments. according to the character
OF the wines stored there.
But II is fairly certain that not
single bottle will be opened nor any
tap Of the countless great barrels
turned until the King gives the word.
For the royal cellars are managed In
businesslike fashion. aud every pint
removed from shelf or cask must be
shown on the ledgers with proper en-.
dorsement.
For the present. all these ledgers
and stock books are clasped on their
shelves. and the bookkeepers and
wine buffers assistants have been as.
signed to other duties about the pal
ace The King was most particular
to direct that no one employed in the
wine cellars should be dismissed as a
result OF his ban on alcohol. Other

that his body would be held suspend
ed away from the sides OF the barrel.
Il was stationed on the bank at the
bottom of the falls with my motion
picture machine ready and | don't
mind saying that | never expected to
see Bobby Leach again. Suddenly |
saw the black shape OF the barrel
with It's sharp wooden nose poised on
the brink. II hung there a few sec
onds before It plunged down a hun.
dred and slxty-eight feet to the river
below.
After the first crash at the bottom
OF the falls Bobby says the barrel
stayed on end for over q half minute,
and he thought II was wedged In the
rocks at the bottom OF the river, and
would stay there. This is when he
tainted.
I'VE were waiting at a point In the
power house cove where the control
barrels had noated. We thought he
would come out here, but he did not
come. A minute passed, two minutes,
and we searched the smooth black
surface where the Maid OF the Mist
was lying ready to help. Nothing!
Three mlnutesl II seemed like hours.
and then. little distance on from
the shore, we made out the black
shape Of the barrel sweeping on TO.
ward the rapids. Everybody yelled.
and a big strapling fellow from the
iirehouse leaped into the river and
struck out bravely. We saw him
swim up to the barrel. throw one arm
over II and turn struggling toward
the shore. Then two other young fel.
lows rushed In and, among them,
they brought the barrel to the bank.
"All this time I was grinding out
motion pictures. and I recorded on
the film how they opened the man
hole and worked over Bobby with
stlmulants. and finally unstrapped
him and got him out on a stretcher.
Then we packed up our apparatus and
made a hasty departure, for the
authorities we're after us. Poor Bobby
spent weeks in the hospital, with both
knee caps smashed and broken jaw.

handle OF the manhole."

posts were found, at the same wages.
for all those displaced, some Ia the
new kitchen department which pro
yides lemonade and barley water for
the court.
The Kings ban does not prevent
any member OF the royal household
from purchasing and drinking alec.
hole liquors outside the palace, but
as matter Of fact. the majority Of
the household stan have followed the
royal example Of total abstinence
throughout the war.
II Is rather curious to note, how.
ever, that alcoholic drinks OF all
kinds can still be obtained within
what are legally the palace grounds.
The verge" OF Buckingham Palace,
which is administered by the lord
stewards department. stretches In
two places as far as the Thames, and
embraces considerable business prop
erty, including a. number OF saloons
The licenses OF these are controlled
by the Kings Board OF the Green
Cloth, and the master OF the royal
household is the chairman Of the H.
censlng court, which has just held its
annual session and approved the re-
newal OF all the licenses. Thus there
is the anomaly Of a royal teetotal
residence under the roof Of which
licenses for the sale Of intoxicants
have Just been issued.

DEEDS or DARING IN THE MOVIES

In the May American Magazine
Cleveland Moffett, writing an article
entitled. Deeds Of Daring in the
Movies" tells many wonderful stories
Of the thrilling adventures Of moving
picture managers and actors. One OF
the stories he tells Is that Of Bobby
Leach. who went over Niagara Falls
In a specially constructed barrel for
the benefit OF a moving picture man
named Walter Arthur, who made the
films. Mr.. Moffett quotes Mr. Artur's
description Of this adventure as fol
lows:
I'VE had a lively time taking those
motion pictures. In the first place we
had to dodge the police. who wanted
to arrest Leach on the charge OF at.
tempting suicide Then the big crowd
bothered us - there we're thousands
watching along the banks-and We
had to be everlastingly quick to catch
the bdrrel as II came over the falls.
We didn't know exactly which way to
aim our camera.
AT the start they towed the barrel
out from a little island on the Cana
dian side about mile above the
cataract. Bobby was inside with pill.

Schools for your Children
~YOIJ

Mothers of this community!
You have children to educate. You
want good schools that your children may
have advantages equal to those given the
children of the mail-order man in the city.
Do you not know that when you buy of
the mail-order man instead of the merch-
ants of this town you are taking away from
the opportunities your children should
have?
The schools are supported by taxes Of
which the n1aiL-order man does not pay one cent
in this town but the money you are send
ing to the city means greater wealth and
more money in the school funds of the
city, and less wealth and less money in the
school funds of this town.
Why not assist in educating your oWn
children
You can do it by spending your dollars
with the merchants who are assisting in
keeping up the schools here instead of
sending them to the mail-order man.
You mothers can be boosters for this
town and your own children if you will.
Think it over.
