City, Say Officials.

New York.-The existence of g.
gantic International ring for SNUG
Cling narcotics into the United States,
has been revealed in New York city
by federal officials active in crusade
against illegal drug selling. Accord
ing to officials, seamen from foreign
ports make New York city the center
for their drug selling. The ease with
which seamen may conceal the mar
cotics in their clothing or among their
personal effects and the low rate OF
exchange in foreign countries facill-
tate the activities of the band.
Business Grows.
1.-THE business of smuggling mar
cotics into the United States has
grown so extensively" said DIR. Carl

cotic bureau for New York city, that
our department is preparing to recon-
mend a federal law by which all sea-
men from foreign countries Will be
subjected to a thorough examination
before they are allowed to go ashore.
1t is the belief of officials that the
seamen who make a business of snug

their regular markets. The amount
of narcotics which they must smuggle
through to net them huge profit is
in such compact form that the bust

THIRD PRIZE LETTER A Mother's Influence

Why do I love flowers? Because they bring to me tender memories of my dear mother, long since gathered by the Master Gardener" to bloom in his garden above.
 Whenever I see a bright patch of flowers, always finger to gaze a few moments, and my mind travels across the ocean to a little old shioned English garden, and in my imaglna- ton I see her again diligently tending her masses of flowers, which seemed to thrive and bloom miraculously un- der her care.
 This garden was enclosed on three sides by a low wall of cobplestones and had graveled paths bordered by pink dwarf daisies, bright nastur- tiums and clusters of pinks- The center plot was riot of color. There were snapdragons, gillyflowers, eolumbines, phlox larkspur camomile, daisies, cornflowers of every hue, carnations, and. later in the season, asters and chrysanthemums- The house ltseu hao 8 trellised porch, smothered by the Seven Sisters climbing rose, Whicn mingled its blossoms with the green leaves of a grape vine, which clam bered to the very caves and nung nl festoons around the upper windows. Flowers were as the breath or nfe to my mother, and she instilled into the minds of her five children a great love for them also. and for all the beauties of nature. Therefore, flowers are to me a beautiful reminder Of mother influence, and so,

SECOND PAoE LETTER

I am wondering if anyone in this world feels about flowers as I do2 l can't really describe my feelings: to me they are almost human beings. l love them so much that l can't bear to cut them for the house. l like them best in the garden or wherever they grow. Every time I cut or break one. feel like I had done something wrong, and I wish to ask their pardon. Whenever anyone steps on them or destroys them, l feel like running to them and trying to do something for them I know this sounds strange, but it is just as I feel toward all kinds or flowers. I see beauty in green leaves and twigs--in their shape and color, and little wild flowers have their beauty for me as well as hot house beauties Flowers have the same ef- feet on me as beautiful music or our wonderful western sunsets
 Years ago I lived in an fashioned dugout on an Oklahoma homestead There were no flowers or trees-noth- ing but prairie. So l sent away TOT some fashioned moss seeA- These planted on each side of the step that led down into the dugout. Soon I had a lovely array of blossoms Of all eolors. Morning and evening they raised their beautiful faces for all to see. They were truly blessing-not only to me, but to neighbors and passersby.

 cHiLDHoOD'S FLOWERS
 Just an old fashioned garden,
 I stepped out of it's flower burdened paths into the field of life long years ago: but still there come to me like pesfume, fleetingly waited, memories and teachings left with me in that gar den
 It was my mothers garden. and l
 was but a little child. She led me with words of love and gentleness as ad the coorful paths. My early lessons were joys in that marvellous setting and to this day, l have only 10 see some lovely flower to be remern- bered that good is beautiful in God s sight even as flowers to us are beau tiful, and wrong is noxious weed we l should tear away and destroy. Ills thought is no! always conscious but l 1 feel it even as I sense flower when the scent is there, though see no blossom.
 Flowers take the very soil to make pure and sweet blossoms said my
 mother as in the cool of the evening 1 we walked in the garden together l Eager moths fitted from flower to | flower to kiss them My little head thoughtful in wonder how the white
 night flowers lifted their faces to Lady
 Moon while .he sun worshippers drop ped in sleep until day came again How do they know?" I asked, and I learned many, many wonderful things
 as we walked hand in hand. '"Flowers, next to human soul, are 1 the most beautiful things in the world,
 was one of my mothers thoughts which l is also mine Ever her teachings were
 for purity of living, sturdiness of char
 acter, integrity of spirit. All dross is as weeds that would stifle the growth of flowers and weeds though
 rank are not beautiful. Ambition tC
 excel is the spur toward cultivation 1T i a garden or if1 a career. and nothing can grow without cultivation.
 With reverence for good and fol l God and a love for His works, mS mother led me through that garder and into the highways of life. She Jeff me but the perfume of her garden l: l waited to me even now.
