M. l.. Bourgeois, chief engineer of the

cannon with range of 100 miles,
which could be put in position in an

M. Bourgeois stated that before that
time he had urged upon Albert Thomas,
then undersecretary of state for war
and munitions. the Importance of bonn
harding the Briey iron works and had
been asked to design long-range cam

His plans, however, were sent from
one committee to another and the or

ready for action at the time the armis-
tice was signed, he said.

new CURB ON
DRUG TRAFFIC
Rules to Make More Effective
Provisions of Harrison
Law Being Framed.
COURT DECISIONS HELP OUT
Assist the Internal Revenue Bureau in
Defining Its Power CIearly-Leave
No Loopholes for Quacks or
Inscriptions Physicians.

Washington.-The bureau of inter-
nal revenue is framing new regula-
tons to make more effective the pro-
visions of the Harrison narcotic law
as amended February "a, 1919. The
regulations will describe more fully
the details of registration and stamp
ing of drug packages and will tend to
enable the bureau to keep closer track
of physicians who are prescribing
drugs.
Court Decisions Help.
Recent decisions by the United
States Supreme court have helped the
bureau by defining it's power clearly.
The recent decision in the case of Bas-
com c. Thompson is the first to ex-
pound the legal rights of physician
in prescribing drugs. 1t declared
physician cannot prescribe drugs SIM
ply to relieve the cravings of an ad-
dict, and that prescriptions for that
purpose can be issued only. on spe-
cial blank furnished by the commits
sioner of internal revenue.
The bureau has been hampered in
its pursuit of Legitimate traffic in
drugs through the ignorance or In
difference of the public to the extent
to which drug habits have grown and
the evils attendant thereon. Even in
medical circles there are still old
fashioned doctors who do not appre-
ciate the evils of the habit or the
ease with which it is contracted.
oh,
ject in view as well as the collection
of revenue. It's cOnstitutionality has
been upheld by the Supreme court as
no invasion of the police powers of
the states, as it is a revenue act. The
new regulations will emphasize the
necessity for a physician to give his
personal attention to curing patient
of the drug habit. Confinement for
the patient will be insisted upon, with
out which, in the opinion of leading
physicians, no patient can be cured
effectively.
Leave No LoophoIes.
The regulations will be issued soon.
Every effort will be made not to in
terfere with the recognized medical
necessity for the use of drugs, with
out at the same time leaving any loop
hole by which quacks or INSCRIPTIONS
physicians may dispense drugs purely
for the satisfaction of addicts and for
gain to themselves.
Numerous cases have been brought
to the attention of the bureau where
physicians have prescribed drugs in
alleged attempts to cure addicts, and
have dispensed them by mail or ex-
press. This practice is violation of
the spirit of the law and is only a
blind to cover illegitimate traffic.
The bureau intends to curb all ac-
tivities which enable a physician to
take undue advantage of his licensed
power.

BACK FROM WAR, WIFE GONE
Hence Lieut.. James G. Payne Brings
Action for Divorce in
New York.

New York-Returning from long
service in submarine infested waters
on March 81 1918, James g. Payne,
who was a lieutenant aboard the cruis-
err Denver, doing convoy duty, hurried
to his home at West 121th st. to greet
his wife and their children. He found
his old apartment deserted and upon
making inquiries Of the neighbors dis
covered his wife had moved with the
children. She sent word she wouldn't
live with him any longer.
Mr.. Payne who now has an electrical
business at $40 Fifth avenue, has be-
gun an action for a separation, and in
his complaint, filed in the supreme
court, told of how his wife, Oenia G.
Payne, had moved during his absence.
He said Mrs. Payne had taken all the
household effects, including his own be-
lonRings.

smoke eaters made a record run to

after the pulmotor was put in action
the patients were able to sit up and
take nOuriShment.

BUREAUS OPEN
Welfare Societies Respond to
Appeal of Federal Employ
ment Service.
FIND WORK FOR SOLDIERS
Two Hundred and Sixty-four Offices
Already Assured, With Replies
From Five States Still
to Be Received.

Washington.-So great has been the
response of the country to the appeal
of the United States employment serv-
ice to assist in the maintenance of Its
soldiers and civilian workers place
ment organization in the field that
with returns from five large states not
yet received and those from none of
the other states complete, the continu"
ance of 264 employment offices already
is assured. Because of its limited ap-
preparation the federal employment
service is itself able to finance but
.ixty offices, and the outside support
for the other 200 offices will be con-
tinued until congress acts upon the
Nolan-Kenyon bills for a permanent
national employment service.
Welfare organizations and chambers
of commerce lead among the various
agencies that are keeping federal en-
ployment offices open, supplying quar-
ters, personnel and funds. The agen-
cies which have been cooperating
with the employment service since de-
mobilization began also are continuing
their support of the 1000 emergency
bureaus fo1 returning soldiers and
sailors.
Keep 800 Open.
John B. Densmore, director general
of the United States employment serv-
ice, predicted that when the returns
from the states are complete it will be
found that considerably more than
three hundred federal Offices will be
open through voluntary contributions.
From the end of March to June 30, he
said, more than four hundred offices
were kept in operation by outside
funds in expectation that after the
latter date the employment service
would be able to resume their financ-
ing, but because of the reduced APP
preparation for the new fiscal year, he
explained, continued support is being
asked for the next five months, within
which period, it is understood. con-
gress will have acted on the measure
for a permanent service.
'The response of the country indi-
Gates a general desire of all to give
practical assistance to the soldier and
civilian war worker seeking to re-
establish himself. Mr.. Densmore said
1T also shows that American COM
mpnities, having learned the value of
having a central public employment
office during the last eighteen months,
want those offices continued"

Thousands of Cats Are
Homeless by Prohibition


New York.-Another of the
evils of prohibition has been dis
covered.
Seven thousand cats have
been made homeless in New
York by the closing up of the
saloons, it is estimated. There
were well over 1000 saloons in
New York and, outside the fash
ionable bars in the big hotels,
it is estimated that every bar
room had it's cat, some of them
more than one.
Now that the saloons are
closed the cats are homeless.

Where and when golf started no
body knows Of a certainty; whether
or not IL comes from Holland or Scot
land matters little. perhaps, except to
the seeker after the truth and nothing
but the truth. To him We would say
that some sort Of a game resembling
golf was played in Holland oftentimes
on the ice with stakes instead Of
holes. No rules for such play have
ever been discovered. but from pic
lures we learn that the finish of this
Hollandish form was somewhat after
the fashion of crOquet. with the bali

THE WAGES OF SIN

On four corners of 47th street and
State street are big, hourishing sa-
looms. Standing at a window we
watched one large truck unload six
dozen boxes or cases of bottled goods
for the consumption of people who
drink out our way. In two blocks
within the corner above mentioned
there are no white residents, with
possibly the exception of few poor
families of Jews and Italians, who
keep some kind of shop, and sell
things to Negroes.
The corner rent out here is enorm-
Gus, the one having the largest Negro
patronage rents for $4,000 per
month, the others little less but not
a great dealless. These four places
are run by white men, Irishmen and
Jews. The Negro seems to be fast
asleep, or stupefied, or drunk, the
only way they can keep US down, rob
US of our thinking faculty, take our
money and give US in exchange fire
water, the Indian name for whiskey.
But this is a white mans trick, that
he plays on his own race, too. do
not believe the government should
allow whiskey, beer or any of those
near-things that rob a man or woman
of their character, or their sober-self-
hood. / am sure it is not good for
our people to drink anything that in
toxicates the brain, benumbs the SEN
ses, and imbrutes the body. Statistics
are not obtainable, but it would
hardly be considered a rough guess
should we say that the Negro throws
away for drink alone in Chicago more
than enough of his hard earnings for
which he gives almost his very life
blood, to operate two or three such
stores such as the Boston
or Hillman's- Strange our ministers
of the gospel do not make house to

THE FEAcE TABLE
By NJ. A. Majors, NJ. d.

We should have a seat at the table
in France
Where the nations are fixing uE
peace.
1t is only fair play to give US q
chance.
We are anxious that trouble shall
cease.
But they tell US that matters will
come out all right
And the world will be set free of
strife.
That our Uncle Sam called his Neg
roes to fight
That the world might be given new
But somehow a thought comes into
my heart
That things won't be done on the
square.
And it seems after all, tho our blood
is still ?
On the fighting front, we won't be
there.
Is it right that a people whose cour-
age to fight
For a nation, for a world, not for
race?
Cannot sit at the Table of Peace. Is
it right
That they should not be given a
place?
Let US hope that reason will rule
worlds heart,
That a way shall be found for our
cause.
That a people whose fighting has
played such a part
May be given a voice in the laws.
It's no foolish notion, why we wish
to go.
We're not understood, and, what's
more,
There are causes unsettled that only
we know
That have never been tackled before.

POPULAR FAVOR, SPOTLIGHT,
ETC.

Extravaganza is the first thought
that gets in the mind of very SEN
sible people when they witness some
silly man, and vapory young girl,
straining themselves to death to win
popular favor. What do they want
it for? Who is benefited? The man?
No. The woman? No. Who then,
pray? Let US see if we can guess
who is the beneficiary. Some poor
mother, straining over a wash tub,
wearing the life out of herself to get
money to dress her daughter finer
than some other girl of her daugh-
ter's acquaintance, and what is that
for? Some poor, silly fellow, who
ought to realize that in order to be
somebody ten years hence, he must
have a head full of real knowledge,
working himself early and late to get
money to show how swell he can
make himself look and peradventure
find himself in a class of other fell
lows, who have no better sense than
himself, and, Oh! my, it's awful to
hear these young insipid upstairs fell
ing frivolous nonsensical yarns about
themselves, escapades, captives they
have made, women and girls that
foolishly fall prey to their scampish
notions. Ugly harangues about girls
often they do not have a speaking
acquaintance with. And the poor,
weak thing of a girl makes a fool of
herself when she happens to get a
glimpse at one of the pig-ankle bar
ons dressed bit stylish. She doesn't
know the young buzzard, but he is
dressed up like dancing master, and
between her reason and her idiocy
she sees the gang of green flies.
Dressing beyond incomes of people
in comfortable circumstances, spend
ing salaries that only last half way
to the next pay day, for what they
call a good time, getting popular and |
getting a spot light that shows the
emptiness of the head and the heart.

that make you really decent? Or do
