DRUG SMUGGLING BECOMING AN ART
Finished System in India Not as
 Crude as U. s. Rum Runners

Rangoon, Burma, Sept. 22.-THhe drug smugglers of India and Burma through long years of experience have developed a finished system of operations which has little resem- blance to the more or less crude and hit or miss methods of rum runners in the United States.
 The men who finance the smuggling of drugs, says R. K. Anderson, super intendent of the Burmese Excise De- partment, are to all appearances re- spectable, well-to-do merchants, with flourishing businesses in piece goods, rice or timber which hide their real occupations as traffickers in opium, cocaine, morphine and hemp drugs. These men do not handle the drugs, but leave the details to hosts of un- derlings. If an underling is arrested, fined, and sent to jail his principal pays his fine, gives him his salary, and supports his family while he is in prison

Death Rate from Tuberculosis
 Reaches New Level

New York, Sept. 22.-The deati rate from all forms of tuberculosis in the year 1921, reached the remarka bly, low level of 90.7 per 100000 popu- lation. This information has been ob- tained by the National Tuberculosis Association from the registrars of 45 states in the Union.
 In 1921 returns from 40 states showed death rate of loS per 10o.- 900. The decline in 1921 is equivalent according to the association, to a saw ing of about 1s,ooo lives in 1921 over 1920.
 The association points out further that since it began its active program in 1905, the tuberculosis death rate has been cut from slightly over 200 to figure well below 100 per 100,- GOO population.
