ABOUT THE STATE

schools last year has just been com pleted. The new course of study for the Miami schools has come from the press and is now in the hands of the local teachers. The work of compil- ing a new course which would sup plement the state course of study and which would adapt the work of the schools to local problems was taken up last year by committees of teachers working under the supervi- sion of Miss Sproat and Miss Per kins. Courses of study from many parts of the country were carefully examined for points of value, for suggestions and materials which could be applied to the local work. The Baltimore county course of study and the Minimum Essentials of the California schools were found to be especially valuable and they became the basis for much of the work out lined in the local course--Bulletin-
 investigate Road Problems
 BISBEEeJoiin Hart, chairman Of the board of supervisors, and Super visor I. c. E. Adams were out yes terday on the highway east of Doug las to endeavor to settle some diffi- culties that have arisen over the
 right of way through some of the land or the rdncneTS m tntl seStAoAA.
 They were accompanied by County
 Engineer Syd Smith and County At torney John r. Ross The trouble | involves what is known as the La Rue contract which runs from Der nardino station to the New Mexico line, a distance of 26 miles
 | One or two owners of land through which the highway passes have
 blocked the road on the claim that they have not been paid for the right of way. In one case, according to the l supervisors. the easement for the right of way was signed by the wife of the owner of the land; another land owner claims that his warrant for the amount due him has never been received

PEYOTE PROHIBITION

something like that of opium or CO., caine, but differing in some respects from that of any other known sup stance. Peyote is taken by sleeping the substance in water and drinking the resultant beverage. It has differ ent effects on different individuals but its unique effect is that 1t gives the one taking it feeling Of ex- treme philanthropy. He feels that he is the brother of all men and would do anything for their good.
 Several white men have experi- mented with the drug for scientific purposes and one of these, who tes- tified before the committee, descrlb- ed his sensations as follows:
 T seemed incapable of having base thought, but all were of high order. I seemed to have forgotten that there was any evil in the world, all was pure and good"
 There is usually no tendency to violence in one under the influence Of peyote. His need for sleep is abol- ished and he stays awake, though ln- active for 24 hours at stretch. Dur- ing this time he is filled with emo- tions of joy and love of all mankind His sensibility to color is greatly heightened so that the world sudden ly strikes him as bright and beau- tifuI picture. At times he is said to see visions, though the white men who have tried the drug seem not to have had that experience. After ward there is a reaction as there must be from the use of any such powerful nerve stimulant, but those who experimented with the drug do not seem to have suffered any pro- longed or severe after effects.
 The use of peyote is undoubtedly growing and has beep growing for years. At first it was used only by few tribes of Indians, but now 1t seems to have spread to nearly all of them. There is a sort of national peyote society with local chapters. which is we'll organized for the pur- | pose of distributing peyote buttons. It has doubtless helped to promote a feeling of solidarity among all of the | different Indian tribes which has been growing of recent years. Few white people realize that Indians of different tribes travel long distances 1 to visit each other. As one Indian said:
 We used to kill each other. but | now we are always good friends"
 The use of peyote is religious rite among the Indians which makes it all the harder to interfere with The peyote society meets at regular
 intervals. The amount of the drug
 taken by each Indian is prescribed by the chief of the society. Then pray

BertOnBraleyS 1NDdily Poem 

He's never wasted minute
 In all of his busy life. He's labored for all there's in if. And out of the strain and strife He's gathered his share of treasure And. by and large, I guess He's won to a goodly measure
 Of what we may call Success But he's sort of '-dreary divil,"
 For he's kind of a gloomy oaf, For he doesn't know how to frivol,
 He's never learned how to loat
 You see he has never tasted
 The merry and joyous tang That you get from moments wasted Along with a jolly gang. Yes. time is a jewel precious.
 We shouldn't forget its cost, We shouldn't let fools enmesh us
 In follies where time is lost: But it's fun, sometimes, to side
 Away from the daily grind And simply be gay and idle
 With never a task in mind. He's never wasted a minute
 But sought for his goal alway, And, trying so hard to win It.
 He never has learned to play; He's steady in his endeavor
 And rich in his golden grist, His moments are wasted never
 But-think of the fun he's misseo'

lntrude Upon Consul


 NOGALES-Burglars entered the American consulate in Nogales, Sono ra, last night by sealing the wall en- closing the back yard and removing part of the wire screen on a door to the back porch.
 The consul, who is alone at pres ent, Mrs. Dyer being in San Fran cisco. was unable to sleep last night and sometime between and o'clock he heard a slight noise.
 He finally sat up in bed to hear better. the noise stopped, and he did not investigate further. On going to his bath. about 6:45 o'clock he noticed that the blind to the bathroom win dow was pulled down and the wire screen was leaning against chair. He at once looked around the con sulate but could not see any signs of robbery. Nothing seemed to be miss ing.-Herald.
 To Form Traffic Bureau
 PRESCOT Prescott intends to have a traffic bureau of it's own. What is considered discrimination in rates between Phoenix and Prescott from California points, and similar discrimination against points in the intermountain section. as compared with through transcontinental rates, have for some time provided local shippers with food for thought, and they have tired of chewing it. They now propose to form a traffic bureau similar to that of the Phoenix cham Der of comerce. which shall act to secure more adequate rates to this city. as well as work in harmony with other agencies in the intermountain section for elimination of excessive rates to points in the section.-Jour- nal Miner

CTS are said and songs are sung The effect of the plant is to heighten the mood of religious ecstacy. Most of the Indian agents will tell you that the religious ceremony is a mere pre- text for the use of the drug, but many of the Indians seem convinc- ingly sincere in this as in all of their other religious exercises.
 Effect of Plant
 The question as to how much harm the drug Is doing the Indians is one upon which you, can gather any amount of conflicting testimony. Some will tell you that the peyote Indian is a worthless fellow and that peyote is rapidly debauching the whole race Many cases are cited of Indians that have become shiftless and poor as result of its use. On the other hand there are undoubtedly industrious and prosperous Indians who have been using it for years One argument tSe Indian makes in behalf of his peyote is that the pey- ote user seldom drinks alcohol. Alco- hol will ruin an Indian more rapid ly than anything else. Peyote has been used by some of the Indians since time immemorial, but it has never destroyed a tribe. while whis- key in a much shorter time has worked great havoc.
 The probable truth is that peyote stands among the Indians much as alcohol does among the whites. It ruins some of the weaker ones, but many of them use it without con- spiouous harm to themselves. If pey- ote were taken away from them they would merely take to other stimu- lants to which they are less accus- toned. Here. as elsewhere, the idea | of achieving moral perfection by force is probably an illusion.
 At any rate the Indian believes tiiai he has a right to his peyote-a right l inherited from his forefathers and l approved by his God The interesting thing is that he manages to asserI and protect that right in the face of nation of reformers who would like to take his peyote away from | him. Congress has failed to pass { law against peyote because the com mattee was told that the Indians would not tolerate interference with theil religious customs. The bureau of In. dian affairs has refrained from seiz. ing peyote and has confined its cam. paign against the drug to mora
 suasion. The postoffice departmen has declared peyote unmailable. bu
 the Indian still gets his peyote reg, ularly by mail. The department O
 agriculture has ordered all shipment, Of peyote held up at ports, but plent, of peyote comes in just the same. I costs the Indian about a cent a but.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspic-
uous thing about US and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II We are very
careful in hair washing, We will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the hair; that dissolves and
entirely removes alb dandruff, excess
oil and dirt; can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
a teaSpoonful Of CanthroX (Which you
can get al any druggist's) in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
Of shampoo liquid--enough so it is
easy to apply it TO all the hair instead
Of just the top Of the head. This
chemically dissolves all impurities and
creates a soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp Spotlessly
clean, soft and plant. while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of natural
color, also fluffiness which makes 1t
seem much heavier than it is. After
CanthroX shampoo, arranging the
hair is a pleasure.
