Interesting Chats
From Hotel Lobbies

The drug evil is one Of the greatest
menaces to the health of the nation
existing today, according to District At
torney A. c. Webber, of Boston. who Is
at the Raleigh attending the National
Drug Conference
The average person has no concep-
ton Of how this traffic in narcotic drugs
has grown. The average slave to alcohol
is harmless while the victim Of done
Will practice the worst kind of deviltry
and violence while under it's influence, g
he says.
Our afflliation with the government
Is only in an advisory capacity" said
Mr.. Weber. Il have found that the Har-
rison drug act has tended to decrease the
number OF victims to a remarkable
degree. But it should be strengthened
by having the States adopt uniform laws
that Will help suppress the traffic"
One OF the principal things in this
program is to have the government and
the States restrict the sale of hypodermic
needles to doctors and trained nurses
Another, is to have the States adopt
some law that will apply in every legal
jurisdiction"
When 1t comes to raising revenue for
carrying on the war" says Finn A.
Corcoran, of New Orleans. La, the gov
tihnleht ought to consider seriously the
taxing of unused land"
Mr. Corcoran, who Is a guest at the
Willard believes in tax Of 81, per
acre foot Cor 1,soo tons), on coal deposits
held out of use that would yield 81, 800, ,oO0, :
600 annually.
"A tax Of 800 per acre on gas and oil
deposits leased and held out Of use would
yield about $50, 900 and 81 per acre on
farming and grazing lands would yield
many millions more" he says.
This is no time for quack Legislation" 4"
ne declares. "Our worst enemies are
shortsighted legislators who fear that
some Of monopoly's rights may be in
fringed.
-Clvllization, itself. is threatened with
destruction. Not since the world began
was it ever in greater peril, and there is
but one certain way to avert IT, The
holding of land out of use must be
prevented, or the holding of land out of
use will destroy U.S."

disc that can be wrapped in small pack
ages as an effective method of reducing
the cost, was strongly advocated by Eu-
gene F. Hartley. of the Department of
Commerce. before the Retail Merchants
Association at the Hotel Raleigh last
night
Mr.. Hartley, who is connected with the
Census Bureau, said that one of the fun
damental reasons for the high price of
commodities was the cost Of cartage He
traced the cost OF goods from the time
that they left the counter after purchase
until they were delivered in the home.

Lone girl RECRUITER
ALSO IS DANCE ARTIST
Dora Rodriques. in Khaki Uniform.
Takes Only Enlis6ng Partners.

Miss Dora Rodriques. pretty, blonde
and twenty, in the city recruiting for
the army, navy, Marine Corps, and mill
TIA organizations. thoroughly enjoys a
sood time. She is a good dancer as was
evidenced by the sensation she created
at the Central Coliseum last night when,
in male khaki attire, she stepped upon
the floor OF the dance palace with E. r.
Utter, seaman first class. serving aboard
the u. S. S. Mayflower.
Miss Rodriques also danced with c.
i. Strston, d. c. Rodeheaver, and E.
J. AllgOn, of the United States Marine
Corps. stationed at the Marine Barracks
and at Indian Head. and with Private
George KovecZun, of the United States
Army Engineer Corps, stationed at the
Washington Barracks.
Many civilians pleaded for the privi-
lege Of dancing with the khaki-clad fig
ure but were refused unless they would
sign their names to a little document
which would mean that, If accepted.
they would serve Uncle Sam as fighting
men for the next few years.
Miss Rodriques yesterday received word

Merchants Have Faith
In Business Outlook

Whereas. the United States Of
America has entered into a state
of war,
Therefore Be II Resolved, That
we. the members OF the Retail
Merchants Association, assembled
IN special session this Cd day of
May, 1917, do hereby pledge our
unwavering allegiance to our coun-
try and it's flag for the upholding
OF the great principles Of democ-
raoy as enunciated by President
woodrow Wilson. We approach
this new undertaking Of our coun-
try In a spirit OF righteous patriot
ism, confident of the success OF
our arms, and assured that in all
the phases of this undertaking our
country will proceed with a calm
dignity We decry the pessimist
and after a careful survey. resolve
that every condition that confronts
US operates to sane optimism.
Business in Washington never pre-
sented a brighter outlook. Labor
OF every character is in demand.
Production has not kept pace with
the seemingly limitless output.
The real need of the hour Ia
greater production of commodities
and increased development OF man
power. Those who doubt the solI-
darity Of business question their
own Americanism. American busi-
ness is good. and certainly trade
will thrive in Washington, the
seat of the nation, as never before
in our history.
Let every one attend to their own
business assiduousIy and the
wheels OF progress will hum. Wise
men progress, only towards re-
trench. 1t is the idle talker, not
the worker, who is the real slack
er.
We pledge ourselves to buy more.
sell more. and generally put on
more steam. Let the injudicious
economy croakers turn their pens
into ploughshares and their minds
and muscles to pursuits in which
they will be helpful. Every man
and woman must have a Job in
which they are helpful and work
at 1t. The country and business
generally will prosper gloriousIy.
Be II Further Resolved, That a
copy of this resolution be trans
mitted to the President Of the
United States, to the presiding Of
ficers of the Senate and House, to
the daily newspapers, and made a
part Of the minutes of this meet
ing.
