 $777O.

London.-Anybody discovered har- boring a rat or a mouse in his house Is liable to penalty of f5 [$19.425 at current exchange] under law recent ly enacted by parliament. If the "of. fense" is continued he may be fined f20 [S77.70].
 Lieut.. Alfred E. Moore astonished & London audience by making these statements in a lecture on Rats" which he delivered the other day. The reason why so few prosecutions had yet taken place under the rat act" as 1t was termed, was because the board of agriculture was waiting until the public became more familiar with IL

CARRY l15,163 BY AIR
No Lives Lost in the Commer-
 ciaI Service.
Records Show a Total of 3,1S6,550 Mileage-Many Minor Accidents
 and Forced Landings.

New York.-A total of 115, 163 pas sengers flew 3136,550 miles in conner cial airplanes during the last twelve months without the loss of single life, the Manufacturers Aircraft as- sociation announced here. These fig ures are based on the performance of 425 planes, and it is believed that the number of passengers and the mileage would be doubled if the fig ures of the l.000 commercial airplanes operating il lhis country were obtain able.
 Tn the absence of any federal sys- tenn of registration, air laws and gov ernment methods for tabulating the ownership and performance of air craft, 1t has been found difficult to trace the total number" the associa tion stated
 "The totals are based on question naires distributed by the association, but, due to the itinerant nature of much of the flying, it has been difficult to trace and record more than half of these. This one half, by eighty-seven companies, or individuals, are per manently located in all parts of the United States.
 Much of the mileage was made on short flights of ten to fifteen miles, for which an average fee of $12.50 was charged, An increasing demand for aerial transportation between the cities has been noted, the average charge for this service being 65 cents a mile. On practically all intercity flights baggage or freight was carried, the quantity limited only by the capa- city of the craft. This business az gregated 41,390 pounds.
 "There were accidents and forced landings, but according to the signed reports from the eighty-seven con- panies, in the 3,136,550 miles flown, not single life was lost There were 222 forced landings and thirty-eight accidents. There have been fatal ac. cidents in other instances, but they occurred in the course of stunt or ex- hibition performances or under cir cumstances indicating that undue risk had been taken"

BIC DRIVE ON
 OPIUM TRAFFIC
Nationwide Campaign Being Made to Keep Illicit Drugs
 Out of the Country.
FAIL TO GET SMUGGLERS
Authorities Admit They Have Been Helpless in Preventing Addicts From Securing Dope-Where
 Opium Comes From.

New York.-A nationwide campaign is being made against the sale of il- licit drugs in the United States. Fed eral investigators have reported that more morphine heroin, cocaine and straight opium are being used in New York city, Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Boston than ever be- fore. While the authorities in these cities have the laws necessary to deal with the situation, they declare they cannot stop something they cannot see
 When it Is considered that one man can cross the Canadian border or the Rio Grande and, without changing his appearance in any manner, return with several thousand dollars worth of drugs, it may be realized how diffi- cult it is for national, state ard mu- nicipal authorities to cope with the situation. Besides this difficulty. the government has announced that the illegitimate use of habit-forming drugs has increased anywhere from 25 to 30 per cent since the Eighteenth amendment became an appendix to the Constitution.
 Where Opium Comes From.
 Virtually all of the opium lawfully sent to the United States comes from London and Edinburgh. In these cities three manufacturers send out more opium than all the rest of the manu- lecturers in Great Britain While some of the opium smuggled into this country comes from India, a larger portion comes from Turkey, Persia and Syria.
 In New York city tie narcotics squad of the internal revenue bureau has made frequent raids against the snug gler, the dispenser and the addict. They have discovered that much CO., caine and opium are brought in by sailors on passenger and freight steam ships.
 Easy to Land Drugs.
 The authorities realize that 1t Is an easy matter for a harbor boatman to load his clothing with dope" during the night He is not subjected to daily search. So long as he maintains reasonable care and observance of common sense in his methods he can continue indefinitely. Drugs are easily concealed. Federal authorities have found opium in women's hair, sewed into mems hat bands, contained in artificial limbs, filling the inner tubes of automobile tires, in consignments of lumber and vegetables and even in collars worn by dogs trained to make daily trips across the Canadian bor- der@
 The solution of tne problem lies in a federal act prohibiting the impOr- tation, manufacture ard exportation of habit-formng drugs, except in such limited amounts as are necessary for the legitimate uses of the medical pro- fession, according to Royal S. Cope land, health commissioner of New York city. He said every honest pharmacist should be made an agent of the government to handle opium and it's derivatives.

GERMANS TAKE TANKS TRADE
ican Make Out of Holland, Says Consul General.

Rotterdam.-German manufacturers of steel tools have practically driven American tools out of the market in Holland. according to statistics cmn- piled by the American consul general
 Previous to the recent industrial re- naissance in Germany, nearly 90 per cent of this trade was in the hands of Americans.
 The charge is largely due, according to Consul General Anderson, to the favorable money exchange conditions prevailing so long as the mark is low and the dollar high.

Negro; Tooth; Dives
 Three Flights; Goes Home

Brooklyn.-Dr. A. R. Gafney, dentist in the Temple Bar building in Brooklyn, pulled tooth yesterday afternoon for Burton Skeete, a negro, of 160 Third avenue, Brooklyn, and Skeete uttered one loud and piercing shriek and dived through the window.
 The dentists office is three stories above the ground and Skeete went downward head first. He landed squarely on his head in the subway entrance at Court and Joralemon streets, after his fall had been broken by an iron railing. When Dr. Brown of Brooklyn hospital reached the scene he found Skeete sitting up. The negro said his head felt all right, but that he had bumped his shin coming down and it hurt very much. After a few moments, however, he got up and went home.

SKATING, BUT ice NOT
THICK ENOUGH FOR CROWD

Due to the contanst changing of
weather conditions the last week or
so. the ice at the water works pond
on Smith street is not ct strong
enough for a big crowd of people to
venture on. Mayor William G. Will
son announced this morning that
just as soon as the ice has reached
y thickness of four inches, imrove-
ments will be made by employees Of
the city so that the lovers of the
sport in this vicinity can enjoy real
skating.
The mayor announces that i'm
provements at the water works have
been placed under the supervision of
James Tooker, superintendent OF
parks. AS 500 as the ice has reach
ed the required thickness, improve
ments will be started after which
the city will issue notices to the eff
feet that skating at the water works
POND is safe.
Already this year a number OF
people have been cut on the pond
skating but they have been doing so
at their own risk.

ICE IS THICK
ALONG SHORE
Coolest Wave of Winter
Comes Suddenly Will be
+. Warmer Tomorrow

For the first time since winter
was ushered in last week there was
ice on Raritan bay and a good
thickness of ice along the shores of
the Staten Island sound and Raritan
river. The ice on the bay extended
about a half mile out. Although
there was a sudden drop in the
temperature following the sixty mile
gale that swept this section yester-
day afternoon and last night the
weather man is today sending out
good news that there Is a promise
that 1t will be farmed tonight.
When early risers got out this
morning and started to go to their
work they were seen to quicken
their pace as they walked along be-
cause of the cold frosting air that
greeted them when they first started
out.
The mercury dropped from 40 de-
grees yesterday afternoon to 16 de-
grees last night and it still went
lower during the night when the
wind had subsidized somewhat. 1t is
said to have reached IL degrees
above at 7 O'Clock this morning and
when the sun began to climb there
could be felt a decided difference IN
the atmosphere in several hours
time.
