GIGANTIC DRUG
RING REVEALED
International Smuggling on Big
Scale Discovered by Fed
eraI Agents.
SUPPLIED By SEAMEN
Foreign Sailors Sneak Huge Quanti-
ties of Narcotics Into United
States Through New York
Cty, Say Officials.

New York.-The existence of a gi-
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 facili.
tate the activities Of the band.
Business Grows.
''The business of smuggling mar
cotics into the United States has
grown so extensively" said DR.. Carl
ton Simon, commissioner of the mar
cotic bureau for New York city, "that
our department is preparing to recon-
mend 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 business of SNUG
Cling drugs into this country have
their regular markets. The amount
of narcotics which they must smuggle
through to net them a huge profit is
in such compact form that the busi-
ness of detecting them is made in
creasingly difficult.
There's Money in It.
All sorts of queer containers are
contrived by the smugglers in order

Of course | would, said Tom,
knowing that he would not smother,
and thinking how surprised Mr.. Rat
would be to see him come out alive
after he thought him dead.
"Want to see me do it?" he asked.
81 should be delighted" said Mr..
Rat. "but / must say do not believe
you can. SO do not take any chances
on my account. You might not be
able to do it this time"
"Oh, if you had as many lives as l
have you would not be afraid" said
Mr.. Tom. 'It must be very uncom-
Portable to have only one life. Well,
here / go. Now watch"
When Tom jumped in, Mr.. Rat, as
quick as a streak, ran up the box and
tipped the cover, and down it came
with a bang.
"Are you dead yetT' asked Mr. Rat.
Mr.. Tom, to make him think he was,
did not reply, but when he tried to
lump out Of the box, to his surprise,
the cover was so heavy he could not
move it.
Mr. Rat was safe, and he decided he
would not run just yet, so he asked :
Are you there, Mr. Tom?"
Eyes, / came to life again; open the
cover and l will show you," was the
reply.
"Oh, I'll take your word for it," said
Mr.. Rat. "You have five lives left
and / have only one, and If let you
out my one life would not be worth
a grain of corn.
81 will take your word for it, Mr..
Tom, that you are alive, and as you
have five of your lives still left will
take care you do not see me again.
GoOd-by. l hope You get out before
your other five lives are used up"
Poor Mr.. Tom meowed so loudly
that some one heard him and let him
out, but he stayed in the meal box
so long that he almost smothered, and
he was not at all sure after that
whether he had five lives left or only
one.

BULL HALTS SCHOOL RECESS
With ChiIdren's Play
time.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Hundreds of school
children in the Foose public school
were denied their usual recess while
a regular wild West show was staged
In front of the schoolhouse. A vicious
bull broke loose. from its owner,
George Benzel of New Cumberland,
In front of the school building.
The enraged animal chased Benzel
up a tree and from his perch he tried
to dispatch it with a 22-caliber re-
volver, while another sharpshooter,
firing from a window of a nearby
house, tried to snipe the bull with a
small-caliber rifle. The shots from the
small weapon only served to make
the bull more frisky.
Motorcycle Policeman Fetrow finally
appeared on the scene with a high
power army rifle and killed the bull
as it was charging him.

Some of these are small tins placed
in false-bottomed trunks. Others can
be hidden in the clothing or hand
baggage of the smuggler.
"And one thing above all others
that is making the business Of SNUG
Cling narcotics so attractive to the
seamen who are working for the ring,
said Doctor Simon, 'is the fact that
they obtain the drugs for virtually
nothing in their. own country. At the
present rate of exchange one dollar
is worth more than % lire, which
makes the purchasing power of the
dollar for the drugs very great. They
pay little money and the risk is about

SNOWFLAKE'S SUNSET
BY DELLA F. SMITH

Had you but seen
The setting sun Snowflake hills
And felt the grandeur it insts,
Like great dream,
You'd know the Gods had done their best
To show their skill along the west
The sky is blue, the clouds are white
To lend charm of mellow light,
Then dashes of golden red
Along the horizon are spread
In all the world there cannot be
Another sight so fair to see
For Nature placed the coors grand
AS recompense for wind and sand
It must have been
When Betsy Ross sought colors rare
The colors fine beyond compare
She chose the twins
Of those that shine at sunset glow
All fecked with patches pure snow.
They blend so we'll at close of day
When Snowflake sends the parting ray;
She must have dreamed of these same hills
And felt the grandeur it instills.
AS the old sun sinks out of sight
She must have formed our banner bright.
The red, the white and then the blue
Are colors that she knew were true.
That old, old sum-
He's travelled many trackless mile
Trying Earths creatures to beguile
His races not run;
If he is worn there is no sigh
He seems to glory in his prime.
A cloud comes forth but in his might
The sun shines forth in heavenly light
'Tis brilliant and it sends glow
Of gladnesson the hill below:
Then slowly, slowly sinks to rest
But how twas done one has guessed;
He leaves glow of tender light
To cheer US for the coming night

WOMAN SUGGESTED
For Member of American Disarma-

Washington, d. C., Aug. 26.-Selec-
tion of Mrs. Mary Chandler Hale,
mother of Senator Hale of Maine, as
a member fithe American dsarma-
ment conference delegation, has been
recommended by Representative Alice
NJ Robertson of Oklahoma, who an
nounced yesterday that ten days ago
while at the White House she had
urged President Harding to appoint
Mrs. Hale.
Since then, she said, the president
had written her a. follows:
Il must compliment you on your ex-
treme good sense and your wisdom and
diseernment. Mrs. Hale is very
remarkable and highly typical repre-
sentative of American womanhood.
Miss Robertson, however, said she
did not think any woman would be ap-
pointed. Such action, she added. might
be considered seeming act of inter
diseourtesy to delegates from
countries less progressive than the

Commissioner Haynes.

Washington, ID. C., Aug. % -Imme-
date disposition of liquors seized un.
der the national prohibition act on
which storage charges are accruing
was ordered to-day by Prohibition
Commissioned Hayner.
Instructions were sent to federal
prohibition directors and international
revenue collectors to request the Unit
ed States attorneys in their districts
TO petition the courts for disposition
orders for all seized liquors, automo-
biles. boats or other vehicles taken by
the government for violation of the
prohibition laws. Liquor, such as moon
shine, adulterated and low proof liq-
uor, having no commercial value,
should be destroyed, Mr.. Haynes said,
while the high proof and unsdulter-
ated liquors should be diverted to COM
mercial but non-beverages uses.
Incomplete reports form the various
districts, Mr.. Haynes said, estimated
the total value of good liquors held
by the government at about 81 900 900.
