MANY METHODS ARE USED
TO ENTERTAIN SICK Chill

Every mother and nurse who has
had the care of a child during the
trying period Of convalescence knows
that the time is sure to come when he
will want something new.
First among the things which hold
chifds interest is storytelling. A
tale we'll told will hold his attention
much better than if read from a book,
as the telling makes it more real to
him. He can be interested for a long
time by making up a story in which
he has to take part. AS a beginning,
let him guess the name of all the ami
mails he can think Of whose names
begin with A. then B, and so on. Then
tell him a story about some of these
animals. The story can be very sim
pie and yet in connection with the
guessing will interest the child.
Stringing beads and making them
into chains and bracelets will always
amuse him for a while.
If one can contrive to keep a child

CITY MENTIONED As
ILLICIT DRUG CENTER;
POLICE DO NOT KNOW

Richmond is mentioned in an article
appearing in an Indianapolis newspa-
per Friday. as one of the principal
Indiana stations of the so-called "un-
derground railway" operated by an in
ternational ring Of narcotic smugglers,
with Detroit as the principal distribu-
ton point.
Commercial sale Of narcotics is pro-
hibited in the United States by fed
eral law, known as the Harrison act.
In the article referred to the state
ment is made that one Of the principal
branch lines of the underground rail
way" extends from Cleveland to Ak
ron and then through Indiana. with
distributing stations in Richmond,
Muncie, Kokomo, Terre Haute and
Indianapolis.
Traffic Is FIourishine.
It is stated that the narcotics
struggled into the United States are
shipped from London to Canada, and
are then secretly brought into this
country at Detroit. Vigorous efforts
are now being made by the federal
| authorities to stamp out this Illicit
traffic in drugs, but, it is said, the
traffic is still flourishing.
"Of course it is possible that drug
smugglers may use Richmond as a
base for distributing narcotics in east
ern Indiana and parts of western Ohio
| but the matter has never come to my
| attention officially" Chief of Police
| Wenger stated Saturday.
THE work of suppressing illega
drug traffic Is conducted almost ex
! clusively by the federal authorities
1t is my personal opinion that there
are very few drug addicts in Rich
I mond and locality"

One child spent several happy days
playing with colored modelling wax.
He rolled it out with a small rolling
pin, stuck toothpicks along for trolley
poles and strung them with heavy cot
ton. A bedrOller was his trolley car
and toothpick held in place by lit
tie wax was his trolley pole.
Many children will find delight in
handling different colored papers and
combining the colors; also in past
ing pictures and post cards into a
scrapboOk. A scrapboOk can ca silly
be made by folding old window shades
and sewing them into booklets.
Seed catalogs and magazines with
| pictures of flowers can also be used.
| Have the child cut these out neatly
and paste them in a circle on a piece
of heavy paper, thus making wreath
with which the wall may be deco
rated.
Uncolored pictures found in maya
zines and a box of crayons will while
away the time pleasantly.
A little girl domestically inclined
may play housekeeping. Supply her
with a cardboard box and a furniture
catalog. The lid of the box may be
used for partitioning the rooms Then
after cutting out the furniture she
can place it in the different rooms
By making Sits in the box the furni
ture may be inserted so it will stan(
upright.

ORE MOVEMENT VIA WARRIOR RIVER Brazilian Ore for Local Plants On Way to Port of
 Mobile

: A cargo of 1000 tons of manganese ore from Brazil is shortly to begin move- ment up the Warrior river from the port of Mobile.
 The cargo is coming from the steamship Bantu and orders have been received at the port, according to advices from Mobile, to have the entire movement northward made by barges on the Warrior river.
 Not long ago the Tennessee company received 5000 tons of manganese ore and the movement from the coast to the mills at Fairfield was divided between the river and railroads, the river being un- able at that time to handle the entire cargo. With a vessel like the City or Birmingham, the new self-propellcr, in service the river can handle it all. Throe more vessels like the City of Birmins- ham are being built and three 9o0-horse power towboats are also under construc- tion. one now waiting only on high water to move from her moorings at Jefferson vile. Ind.
 The City of Birmingham is on her way upstream and should reach the Port or Birmingham by Thursday. Her south bound cargo will consist of steel plates. wire mill products, cotton and lumber. Her southbound load will be full one.

chubby overalled little bodies touch a chord of sympathy
 The visitor rings the doorbcll and is met at the door by Mrs. Ramsey, who is sweetly confused and frustrated at being asked to show the lady over the house on Saturday morning. She disappears, and after about half an hour of fidgety waiting, announces that she will take you over.
 To the visitors first question as to where the girls are she is told that the girls are busy or taking their baths.
 Up in the dormitory for girls between the ages Of z and 10 the little girls are sitting in an orderly row waiting for a bath.
 Good morning, girls, said the matron.
 Good morning. ma am" they chorus in voices quite as orderly as their rows.
 IN SPOTLESS ORDER
 The dormitory is in spotless order, as is the big new dormitory for the boys which occupies the major part of the new building. The boys doruitory is empty except for the matron, who is little excited and disheveled as she hurries out to greet the guest Apparently the time for the boys bath has not yet arrived, or they. too. would be occupying the neat rows of chairs placed at the foot of the beds Each dormitory is equipped with baths and convenient lavatories which are as clean and neat as every thing else in the home.
 As we pass back through the girls dorrnitory the little ones who are sitting there on the edges of their chairs smile uncertainty. The one on the far end whose turn comes next has already begun to unbutton her shoe. but she stops po- litely as Mother Ramsay and the guest walk through.
 On some of the faces are the smiles which come by real effort and stay from habit Often when the little ones come to the home, according to Mother Ramsey. the smiles must be coaxed to the faces and the sunshine to the hearts, for the children come from some of the darkest byways of life and all the smiles do not come spontaneously.
 In the nursery, which is the most sn- teresting place in the house the tiny tots are playing and waiting for the older girls to give them their baths,
 SMILES"
 Can you sing us a song?' suggested Mrs. Ramsey. So they group themselves nicely and quickly and sing their kin dergarten songs
 They sing. too, Father We Thank Thee," and '.Bubbles." As they sing Bubbles it seems to apply so thor oughly that the guest has a hurt in the throat which won't leave right away. With their serious eyes fixed on the in- truder they chirp Fortunes always hid ing, I've looked everywhere and even ing, they seem to feel how true it is for the one with the biggest brown eyes shook her cropped head and looked sor- rcwful just at the right time, Fortune does not have to hide for those children does it?

The balmy sunshine of yesterday aft ernoon proved too much for the indoor sports. Many cars which had been bed ded down for the winter were un- packed, and motorists who thought them seleves marooned for the winter were found speeding over the highways ill midseason form.
 As result of this increase in traffic a run was made on the free service Of the Birmingham Automobile club that kept all their cars on the jump all aft ernoon. More than a hundred calls came in to club headquarters and as many stranded motorists sent on their way re joicing and praising the Automobile club.
 Many of them joined the club on the spot and many of the others signified their intention of doing so in the near future. For two more Sundays the call service will be free to everyone needing aid, but after that date only members of the club will receive the benefit Of the call service.
