IN RUSSIA
HAVE BIG PROBLEM

"The most dreadful civil phenome-
non of any war;" is the way Robert
Tatlock, leader of the Friends recon-
struction work in Russia, describes
conditions in that country. Mr.. Tat
lock will speak of his work at the
West Richmond Friends church Sun
day evening. He is q member OF the
Friends church of England and will
return to Russia soon.
The problem which met the relief
workers OF the Friends unit is de-
scribed by the leader as follows
1.-The large number of refugees, the
poverty of the lands on which they
find themselves, the severity of the
climate, the widespread lack OF cloth
ing, the local shortage of food, the
prevalence of disease, the high refu-
gee death rate, the insufficient nature
of such relief bodies as exist, and the
long-standing nature of the trouble,
all help to make the Russian problem,
if not the most striking and most
vivid, still the largest and in many
ways the most dreadful civil phenom-
enon of this or it may be of any war.

NATURALIZATION
MUST Be PROVEN

The clerks in charge of registration
of voters for the fall election, call the
attention of foreign born citizens to
the fact that they must bring their
naturalization papers with them in
order to register
This is necessary under the new
system of registration which is much
more exacting than the old system.
There are many men who have tax
en- out only their first papers and in
the past have thought they were nat
uralized citizens of the United States.
But this is not the case and in order
to vote a man must be fully natural
ICED, and if born in a foreign country
must have his papers with him when
he registers.

THRIFT STAMPS GOOD
MEDIUM FOR SAVINGS
Accumulation Of Small Change Soon
Reaches nterest-Bear-
ing Amount.

Virtually every housewife in the
country is familiar with the trading
stamp or gift certificate which is given
by many merchants and manufacturers
with merchandise. She has at various
times saved such stamps and certifi-
Gates until she had a required number.
when she presented the stamps or GER
tifcates to the merchant for redemp-
tion. receiving an article of merchan-
disc or cash, which Is equivalent to a
discount.
Through the thrift stamp the United
States government offers every house,
wife in the country a rare opportunity
Of doing her bit" for her country and
at the same time creating a savings ac-
count for her own security.
Thrift Stamps for Saving.
BY saving the pennies, nickels and
dimes until she has accumulated 25
cents she can buy thrift stamp from
the postman at the door or at any
branch post office, bank or trust COM
full = sixteen thrift stamps - she may
take the card. and. with fifteen addi-
tional cents for April - and a penny
more each month thereafter-secure
war savings stamp, which, in five years
January, 1923-brings her IS in cash,
receiving sS cents interest on her in
vestment-if the stamp was purchased
in January, 1918.
In addition to rendering her country
patriotic service by saving and lending
the United States her savings, she has
made good investment with gilt-edge
security.
Against Names on Stamps.
Owners of war savings stamps are
asked by the Post Office Department
to refrain from writing their names
across the face of the stamps. This
practice is disapproved by the depart
ment on account Of the limited space.
When stamp has been written on in
this manner it interferes with registry
of the certificate.
Where the owner has written his
name on the stamp the validity of the
stamp is not affected, but the depart
ment will insist that this request be
carried out. if it is not done volun-
tarily.
In Case of Removal.
Holders of war savings certificates
who change their residence from one
city to another must conform to the
following ruling, issued yesterday from
the Treasury Department.:
Only thing owner of registered GER
tiacates can do if he changes residence
is ta) to redeem and repurchase before
moving; (b) to send in certificate from
new residence to post Office where reg
istered when payment is desired"
Sales of stamps in the government
departments are continuing to grow
each week. Employees of the Navy De-
partment up to and including April 13
had purchased stamps amounting to
$29,S23.97.

PROCESS Of LAW USED
TO EVADE LIQUOR BAN
Investigator Reports on Conditions
He Found Among Bootleggers
in West Virginia.

Invoking the process Of law in order
| to violate a law is the latest extreme to
which bootleggers have gone to snug
gle whisky into West Virginia accord
| ing to Dr. Charles A. Rosewater of
Newark, N. j., who passed through
| Washington recently after a ten-day
investigation Of conditions in West vir-
ginia.
DR.. Rosewater is chief Of the narcotic
clinic for the study and treatment Of
! drug addicts of Newark. and he made
| his investigation in West Virginia to
determine what effect prohibition has
on the use of narcotic drugs. Incl
| dentally, he said. he looked into the
question of bootlegging. Here is his
story Of how the law itself was used in
one case to get liquor into the state.
"a certain justice Of the peace. sent
two negroes in an automobile across
the state line to get liquor. and with
| them went one of the Justices depu-
ties armed with a warrant for the ar
| rest of each of the negroes. II any
other official held up the automobile on
the return trip the deputy would pro-
duce the warrants and inform the other
officer the negroes were his prisoners"
Method Of Carrying Liquor.
Women. according to DR.. Rosewater,
carry alcohol into the state in hot
water bags, while men have cartridge"
belts harnessed about their bodies
DR.. Rosewater said he found both the
Harrison federal law and the state mar
cotic act are being openly violated. He
said he obtained prescriptions for
drugs from physicians on the mere
statement that he was an addict.
In one instance. he said, boy in the
street offered to go into store and get
him some dope" just to show him how
easy it was to get.
While in Washington DR.. Rosewater
said he would present the facts he col
| lected to the internal revenue bureau.
He said he sent brief outline of what
he found to the Governor of West vir-
ginia, and will forward to him a full
report when it is completed.
