USE DRUGS TO GAIN COURAGE
After Stimulant Subsidies, Criminals
Are Cringing towards Again, De-
cIares a Writer.

Stick-up men, shoplifters, burglars
and pickpockets are the largest users
Of drugs. Most persons think NOR
phine, heroin, cocaine and opium are
INDUCED in by the criminal classes
after the commission of crime as a
surcease for their minds.
Nothing is farther from the facts"
said an old detective. 'The criminal
who works in the open uses drugs to
supply him with courage. 1t is a sort
Of false courage, for it dies out with
the effects of the opiate. Neverthe-
less without it your holdup man
would never have the nerve to carry
through daylight robbery. A census
of the drug addicts is a roster of the
crooks in nine cases out of ten. OF
course after time the criminals &C
quire a permanent appetite for drugs.
but the seeming super-cOurage that
sends a man with a pointed gun into

of the poison has worn off he is left a

90 PUBLICITY MEN IN POST

fectiVe Advertising.

OF all the II, 900 posts of the Ameri-
can Legion In the United States and In
IA foreign countries, the one that slips
into the lime-light most often is the
S. Rankin Drew unit Of New York
city. The fact that the post has 30
publicity men on its roster should ex-
plain it all.
Named for the first American actor
to die in France, some of the coun-
try's foremost actors Of the legitimate
stage sought membership following
their war experiences. Motion pic
ture men and those interested in the
allied amusements, along with 80 gen.
uine and successful, more or less, play
wrights complete the membership.
The post stages an annual show In
the New York hippodrome, calling a
meeting of its membership to assemble
a stellar cast. The 90 publicity men
do the rest and the money is given to
charity.

AFTER THE FAKE PROMOTERS
American Legion on Watch to Detect
and Expose Organizations Victim
izing Ex-Service Men.

The harpies who prey on public
sympathy and the vampires who at
tach themselves to every legitimate
and worthy campaign for the relief Of
human distress, have been flying in
focks behind the trudging army of job
hunting ex-service men. The police
courts are revealing the sordid opera
lions of scores of avaricious persons
who have been conducting money-rais-
Ing campaigns on get-rich-quick ba-
sis, on the pretense of assisting unem-
ployed World war veterans. Some Of
these fly-by-night promoters have
formed large organizations, using as
dupes veterans who are, themselves,
honest, but have been induced by ur-
gent need to grasp at the straw of a
Job which the swindler bangles before
them.
Behind a shield Of FEASIBILITY, the
promoter sends his money solicitors
out upon the public. Needless to say,
little of the money raised actually is
used to assist the unemployed ex-
service men. The promoter takes good
care to see that his account books, If
he keeps any, never record the full
amounts which have been extracted
from the sympathetic public. And IL
he makes pretense Of accounting for
the way the money is expended, this
accounting is only a clever construc-
ton of falsities, intended to protect
the promoter, if he is made the sub.
ject of inquiry by public officials. The
system by which he operates precludes
honesty.
These swindlerS often copy the
names and methods of organizations
which are legitimate and have repu-
table sponsors The names the em-
ployment swindlers select for their or
CARNATIONS only too often inspire pub
lie confidence because they may easily
be confused with those Of long-existing
public charitable societies. The Amer
lean Legion is constantly on the watch
TO detect, expose and prosecute organi-
zations victimizing ex-service men.
The public should come to know that
any organization ostenSibly for the
help of unemployed veterans should be
regarded suspiciously If it does not
have the LegiOn's Observation-Disclosures

By
NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE

Soon after the publication of "The
Scarlet Letter." Hawthorne moved to
LenOx, Mass, where he wrote "The
House of Seven Cables" There has
always been more or less discussion
as to which house I'm Salem was pic
tured In this story; some persons clafm-
Ing one, some another.
1t has become somewhat Of an ac-
cepted fact that the house ON Turner
street, now kept as a memorial, is the
original house Of the story. 1t was
purchased by Miss Emerton of Salem,
and during the work of restoration
there were found two more gables than
at first appearedy these were uncovered
SO that now, at least, 1t Is a house of
seven gables.
Some years ago 1t was stated that
Hawthorne himself, when asked about
1T, claimed that he had no particular
house I'm mind when writing the story,
but made a composite picture of sew
eraI.
Hawthorne went back to Concord,
going on with his literary work, and
publishing "TanglewOod Tales, also a
Life of Franklin Pierce; during this
period the author lived at "Wayside."
The writings of Hawthorne show a
subtle imagination and a curious power
of analysis. Beside great mental traits,
he possessed the literary quality of
style-a grace and charm, a perfection
of language which no other American
writer possessed i'm the same degree
and which places Hawthorne among
the great masters of English prose.
His friend and cOl1ege-mate, LOngfel-
low, I'm reviewing "Twice Told Tales"
said that at came from the hand of a
genius" and praised 1T for its style,
which, he said, ''was clear run
ming water"
While Hawthorne lacked the ac-
cOmplishment of verse, he was I'm the
highest sense a poet.

NJ YOUR courtesy, I beg you to

tempt to connect a bygone time with
away from us. 1t is legend, bringing
with it the mist of the past floating
round each character and event-even
round the old house itself.
Sometimes it drifts aside and you
catch a glimpse of older days-days
when Colonel Pyncheon, out of pure
covetousness, despoiled old Wizard
Maule of his house and little plot of
land-days when Maule cursed the
colonel for his sins and foretold: GOD
when Thomas Maule, son of the wiz
ard, built for Colonel PyncheOn over
his fathers very threshold, the House
of the Seven Gables.
On the day when Hepzibah Pyncheon
trod her pride underfoot and opened
the little cent-shop, built in the front
gable of the old house, there were but
few of the Pyncheon blood left. Judge
Pyncheon, his son (who died abroad
and enters not into this tale), Hepzi-
bah and her brother Clifford, little
Phoebe Pyncheon (who had come for
a long visit) and a few cousins, were
all. The race of Maule was supposed
extinct-at least there were none
known.
Long since Hester had let one of the
gables to a daguerreotypist named Hol-
grave; and none others were in the
old house save herself and Clifford
(now pardoned out after serving SEN
tence for the supposed murder of an
uncle), and little Phoebe.
Judge PyncheOn was the great man
of the town; but, despite his ever
ready smile and studied benevolence,
he was not greatly liked. Hepzibah
shrank away from him and Clifford
shrieked when he would have forced
his way in to see him.
Hepzibah and Clifford scarce left
the house even for the garden; but
Phoebe and young Holgrave met there
often; and the kindly mist made itself
thin between them till they saw each
other clear and their hearts drew close
and love came to them-but so softly
and sweetly they knew it not for love,
but called it by that other sweet name
friendship.
Then Phoebe must needs go home
and with her went all the sunshine;
and the mist drifted back-and all the
scant happiness that had come with
her to Hepzibah and Clifford for a Ut
tie, fled away.
When she had gone the judge be-
came even more determined to see
Clifford
cousin Hepzibah," he begged, with
his most benevolent smile, "let me see

"You cannot" said Hepzibah. "Since
yesterday he hath kept his bed"

"In the name of Heaven" cried
Hepzibah, her anger. overcoming her

under false accusation. You hate him
Say so, like man! At this moment

Real Rest DEPENDS Largely Upon
the Depth of Your Sleep


The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,
disturbed sleep.
This is because the final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more
rapidly when the physical and mental forces
at rest.
You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your
nerves are agitated with tea coffee. Both these
drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to the brain and nervous system.
IF you want to know the joy, vgor and
stamina that comes to the person who gets sound
fealthful sleep, why not stop taking tea or coffee
for while, and drink delicious, nvigorating

Even Without Fort Dunn,
mer Mills List Would
Show Gain

FootingS showing the amount of tax
able property in Brattleboro. taken from
the returns made by the listers, were
completed in the town clerks Office this
forenoon, showing a gain in poll tax, real
estate and personal property valuations
of $417.503 over last year. The result
of the tabulation is surprise to every
body, as there had been general down
ward trend in the individual lists and the
listers were unable to say whether the
gains would offset the losses. The Fort
Dummer Mills cotton mill property. which
came into the list this year for the first
time and was assessed at $3.50. 300, was
looked TO to offset in large measure what
losses there might be in other lists, hut
the fOotings show that there would have
been a gain of ST.. DOB without the Fort
Dummer Mills property.
So many towns are showing a loss in
valuation that the result in Brattleboro
