BIC QUANTITY OPIUM BEEN
 CONFISCATED

MANILA, P. l., Jan. "A (by Associ- ated Press). - Approximately 1000 pounds of confiscated opium which was sent by the bureau of supply of the Philippine Islands to the chief of the bureau of insular affairs at Wash ington for sale in the United States more than a year ago, has just been returned here.
 Several months after the opium reached the United States, the chief of the bureau of insular affairs sent the following cablegram to the gov ernor-general:
 "The pharmaceutical manufacturers here do not make any offer for the purchase of the nineteen cases of opium. There is an abundant ship ment of Turkish opium in New York City with more uniform amount of morphine It is believed that the ship ment will be a complete loss"
 In view of this cablegram the opium was ordered returned to Ma nila where it is now being held by the bureau of supply.
 The publication of an article by an afternoon vernacular newspaper that the opium had been abstracted from the cans had been opened by secret the Pacific and molasses substituted, brought forth a denial from the bu- reau of supply. It was asserted that the cans had bee nopened by secret service agents and all of the drug had been found intact.
 The value of opium confiscated dur ing the last year and now in the hands of the bureau of supply is said to amount to several hundred thous- and dollars.

LEGISLATION IS DEMANDED FOR
 UNEMPLOYED

LONDON, Jan. 24 (by Associated Press) Labor leaders are demand ing urgent legislation to solve in some way the problem of unemployment in Great Britain. Warnings have been given of a serious social or industrial upheaval, of some kind of startling direct action" unless the British gov ernment acts promptly.
 "If nothing is done within the next six weeks," said J. R. Clynes member of parliament the other day to Dr. Mcnamara, the minister of labor, in the course of a discussion with labor leaders, "a situation may develop that will threaten the life of the state itself"
 w There is said to be an ugly temper , among many of the 100000 or more unemployed over what they regard as dilatoriness on the part of local and governmental authorities in taking steps to meet the situation adequate ly. About 100000 of these idle men are in London.
 Homeless and destitute, they have seized about 39 suburban public Ii. hraries, baths and assembly halls. From some of these they have been forcibly ejected by the police and this has caused more ill-feeling.
 Delegates from employed commit. tees in score or more of London boroughs have recently formed cen tral council, which is holding secret meetings at which direct action" is planned.
 What form this direct action" will take Is not divulged by the leaders, who proclaim their intention to act in- dependently of the labor party or trades unions; but Dennis Jennett the chairman of the committee, told the Associated Press representative they will be of a startling nature.
 "Seventy-five per cent of the Lon. don unemployed are ex-service men, Jennett said. "We are not out for loot, but we want work provided at once. Deputations to cabinet minis. ters result in vague promises and don't help us. Relieving acute dis, uess is by no means our full pro gram. We want to reshape the rela tions between capital and labor Workers of all trades must be admit ted to control of enterprises. We propose to make this our main issue and get all workers to adopt this idea This, we realize, is not attainable without hard fight, and we are cer tain there will be a big social up heaval this winter"

HOUSE PROBLEM NOW SERIOUS
 IN LONDON

LONDON, Jan. "A (by Associated Press) It is estimated that London is short of 150,O00 houses and Prem. fer Lloyd George, speaking in the house of commons, has placed the to, tai house shortage for the whole of the United Kongdom at roughly r. 000,000. A house for rent notice hoard in London quickly attracts a crowd
 Housing is a department of the min istry of health and, by legislative act. local authorities are required to sumit housing schemes. Thousands of schemes have been submitted, but progress has been very slow.
 Perhaps the chief reason for this has been the economic factor. Houses which cost three or four times as much to build as before the war, can- not obviously let or sell at pre-war figures.
 Nevertheless, according to govern ment statistics some 60,000 new houses were started in 1920 and the number contracted for has risen dur. ing the year from 10,408 to 133, ,301.
 On striking feature of the effort to provide houses in a housing scheme conducted by the office of works, which was empowered to spend &C., 000,000 spread over IS months. Its operations started in Camberwell, a south London borough. An arrange ment was made by which the office of works supplied the plans, material and supervision, while the local fed eration of trades unions supplied the labor and the borough council as sumed responsibility for the finances The plan worked smoothly and houses were built for &780 apiece, a saving of at least G200, making total say. ing to taxpayers of G400,000. This scheme may become the embyro of a state building department.
 The financial difficulties connected with the housing problem have been responsible for the creation by local authorities of interest bearing "hous ing bonds" which are in some locali ties a fairly popular investment.
 In the north of England, concrete houses have become popular, as ma chinery largely replaces man-power ir their erection. In some parts of Lon don, too such houses have been built recently, owing to the shortage ot bricks, the high rate of wages and other difficulties.

 FORESTS FROM
 DESTRUCTION

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 24 (by AS. sociated Press). - Aviators of the United States forest service last sea son in Calforna covered 388,82O miles, or fraction more than 15 times the circumference of the globe, according to records recently complied
 In the flights, the aviators protect ed from fire 24,O0O,OOO acres of wood ed lands growing 11O,OOO,0 100000 feet of marketable timber, conservatively estimated by the forest service as worth $22O,O0O00O.
 Twenty-siX airplanes took part in the forest flights and, in spite of the extreme hazards entailed by flying over fires, there were but three fatal ities. The patrol was from the Ninth Aero squadron of the army and in- cluded radio service effective in To- eating fires.
 The squadron base, during the sea- son, was located at Mather Field, Sav- ramento and there were smaller bases at Red Bluff, Fresno and March field.
 Next season, according to present plans, the airplane forest service will be extended to Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
 The patrol lacked little of the TO- nance and glamor of war, although it's mission was essentially peaceful one. Often there was sharp necessity for instant action and one particular test of mobility was called for when thirty-two fires broke out in the Las sen forest in two day period. There were plenty of good fighters on hand but few experienced leaders. An s. o. s. call was sent to Sonora, 200 miles away and in a few hours two forest officers from that place were efficiently directing the fighting. A few days later the Stanislaus forest caught fire and the officers were rushed back.
 Through liaison officers, the radio was given a thorough and effective test. Even when the airplane failed to make the fire discovery the data that the observer furnished was inn portant to the protection organization. The system was particularly effective in detecting fires caused by other than human agencies.
 hot N1,s,h Ivy INI tE,N aviators of experiences on the west ern front when the airships were used | for reconnaissance work over large | fires moved onward the aviators, by cessity for directing the charge of the fire fighters as there was for direct ing the barrages of war days. As the fires mover onward the aviators, by wireless, told the fighters below just where to attack. Fire lines were marked for new outbreaks just as enemy lines were watched for new at tacks.
 The forest front" extended 750 miles from Oregon to the Mexico line and the battle" lasted from June 1 until rain came late in the fall. The "enemy," the fire, made TYP attacks, but the airplane-directed army won for the figures of fire destruction fell far below those of former years. Sometimes the fires appeared to win and often brought down ships, there being thirty-six forced landing report. ed during the season.
