visioned the alarming increase Of the dope
scourge in Philadelphia and the State. His
position as United States Attorney gave
him an unusual opportunity TO view all
ramincatlons Of the traffic. He called to-
gether n number OF public-sprited men and
organized them into n citizens committee
to study the situation at close range and to
search for a remedy. Pierce Archer, Jr..
former chief Of the Internal Revenue office
In this city, was a member Of this commit
tee and 1t was due principally to his
knowledge Of narcotics and his legal ability
that an adequate ant-narcotic act was
framed. Valuable service was also per-
formed by Dr. Horatio c. Wood, Jr., Ed
ward Box and other members of the COM
mttee.
The new bill gives the police authority to
arrest persons on sight dope suspects,
and all persons with narcotics in their pos
session can be taken into custody
Another strong feature Of the bill Is
provision which makes possible the arrest
Of druggists who sell patent medicines con-
tanning narcotics to known drug addcts.
Such druggists may be arrested on the
complaint of relatives or friends of drug
users, Another section provides that all
physicians who treat drug addicts must
register the names of these addicts with
the Board Of Health. This provision Is
aimed to curtail the activities OF unscrupu-
lous physicians who have been reaping a
harvest bye selling dope TO unfortunates
under the guise of the reduction treat
ment'
News Of the signing Of the bill today
caused a wave of fear to strike the few
remaining drug vendors In the tenderloin.
Police officials say that the vendors have
been leaving the State in large numbers
during the last two weeks. and now that
the bill is signed and is a law the police
expect that all Of them will migrate TO
fields where the laws regulating the sale
Of drugs are less stringent.
The article published In the EVENING
LEDGER exposing the dope traffic in Phlla-
delphia not only set the wheels of reform
turning in Pennsylvania, but caused other
commonwealths to take account Of stock
and frame adequate laws for the curtail-
ment of the Illicit drug traffic. The EVE
N1Nd LEDGER articles revealed how thou
sands Of dollars worth of narcotics were
smuggled into Philadelphia weekly over
the Canadian and Mexican borders and
exposed other phases of the traffic

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY BUMPUS
SERGEANT DILL PICKLE
BY Farmer Smith

TITS funny how much faster you can
run when there Is some one after you,'
thought Billy Bumpus as he sat down TO
rest after the men had chased him up hill
and down and failed to catch him.
"A lot of artillerymen make a whole
city only they don't have trolley cars and
that sort Of thing, How interesting some
of the men are l will wait a while and
then 20 back and see what is happening"
Billy looked at the tented city below him
and then got up. He walked slowly down
the hill until he came TO one of the tents.
No one was around, 30 he peeked in.
He sniffed this way and that He saw
a chair in the back OF the tent and so he
stood up on that 10 see the better When
he looked up, what should he see but a
dainty piece OF rope Just out Of his reach.
He stood up on his hind legs and reached
for that rope.
Inch by inch ne came nearer IT, when.
all of a sudden, the chair splashed right
in the middle Of tub of water which was
standing at the back of the tent.
Not only that, but the tub was filled with
biuing water and II was very, very blue,
SO was our friend Billy Bumpus, when he
pulled himself out OF the tub.

heard the sound of voices.

hear very well. so he lifted up his head
for then he could hear with both ears
That's you, blaming that mischief on a
poor innocent goat" said the sergeant.
You keep your mouth shut or will put
you where you belong" said the other ar
tilleryman.
There was not time for words after that.

they went, until one of them landed right
on Billy's stomach.
He jumped up in a hurry, but not soon
enough for one of the soldiers to see him.
"There is that goatw shouted Sergeant
Dill Pickle
Both men got up, but Billy lay on the
ground painting for breath They had al
most squashed him to death.
"Just you wait" said Sergeant Pickle
'Ill fix that fellow"
He made a grab for the broom. but
before he reached II, Billy tore himself
free from the man who was holding him
and made dive for the door, in which
stood the sergeant reaching for his broom.
Suddenly Billy saw another goat This
made him furious and he made for the
sergeant, knocking him over and hurrying
through the door, with the two men after
him. He did not have time to see where
the other goat was. He thought he would
come back later.

courage the use OF paper or fiber contain.

suggested by the United States Department
Of Commerce for storing jellies and such

The use OF hber containers Is recorn-
mended for the distribution of various

The shortage of tin has increased the
price for glass Jars and manufacturers are
being urged to minimize the use OF glass as

Senator Weeks takes the position that

those OF New England, and that II would
be better TO train them under these condi
