Ships want Reimbursement from Government

Washington, D. c., January II,
Former Chairman Hurley of the
Shipping Beard denied at recent
hearing by the Boards claim com
mission on the case of the Tampa
Dock Company against the Emergen-
cy Fleet Corporation that, as alleged
he said the war would continue three
to five years and had promised wood
en- shipbuilders sufficient contracts
to reimburse them for their invest
ment in yards. The Tamra Dock
case is regarded as a test case involv-
ing about $6,000,000 in amortiza-
ton claims made by wooden ship
builders against the government!
Mr.. Hurley said he told the Ship
builders the government would treat
them fairly in any readjustment of
contracts which might be necessary,
but he rad no idea of committing the
government to any obligation not set
forth in the written contracts Ship
owners, he explained, were object

he merely assured them of fair treat
ment.

FoX FARMs PRoFITABLE

According to estimates of the De
partment Of Agriculture, there are
now between 10000 and $1,000 sill
yer foxes being raised in captivity in
the Northern States Silver foxes are
favored by the farmers because of
the rarity of these skins, which some
times sell as high as 5000. The
best location for a fox farm is where
the winters are cold and the fox
may have the opportunity to develop
fur in keeping with the needs Of the
climate. The industry is thus con-
fined by climatic conditions to the
more Northern sections. There the
raising of the foxes for breeding and
for the fur market flourishes. Most
of the foxes raised in captivity are
on farms, or ranches" with pens
for from 25 to so pairs, although in
occasional instances the ranches are
much larger, containing pens for as
many as $50 pairs.
At this period of the year the fox
raiser is engaged in making ready
for the mating season. Foxes gen
orally breed in January and Febru
raw, the Young being born Within
fifty-two days. A pair of foxes rails
es one family a year, the number of
young varying from one to ten tho
rarely exceeding five or six. Most
of the fox raisers troubles come when
the young are peculiarly when a few
weeks old, to attacks from worms.
Great care is necessary to carry the
young foxes through this period.

GROWTH oE DRUG HABIT

The suggestion that prohibition
has resulted in an increase in the
number of drug addicts in the coun-
try is denied by the Narcotic division
of the Treasury Department. "The
truth is" said Colonel Forrer of the
Division, that victims of the drug
habit practically in every instance are
young men and women, often in their
teens. Rarely are they alcoholics. The
difference between an alcoholic and
"a drug addict is that the alcoholic af-
ter a spree usually is sorry, and, re-
penting, experiences a period Of re-
form. The drug addict has no such
Experience. Once victim, there is
rarely any cessation. The disease is
rarely durable, and even when the
body is cured the mental craving con
tinues." Colonel Forrer has compli-
ed statistics for the months of July,
August, September, October and No
vember, showing the arrests in .seve-
raj of the larger cities for that peri
cd. They were: Boston Sc; New
York 1O6; Philadelphia 118; Balti-
more 220; Richmond 6; Atlanta So;
Chicago 1856; Minneapolis 1877; Den
yer 1926; San Francisco 1888; Little
Rock 1854; FL Paso 202; Hawaii a;
There were $50 conviction obtained.

ASSERTS PARTY LEADERSHIP

President Harding is extremely

necessary delay, pass the several
more important administration mea-
sures now pending, but he disappro-
YES of the organized group opposition

both the House and Senate. He is
holding almost daily and nightly con-
ferences regarding legislation, and
with all of those attending these con-
ferences he has made plain his inten-
tions as to his asserting of leadership.
Senators Kellogg of Minnesota,
.Capper of Kansas and Kenyon of To-
wa, leaders of the farm bloc" in the
Senate, Rave been summoned to the
White House conferences, and the
President has in no uncertain terms

Federal Reserve Board, besides in
Idicating to them that he proposes to
Iuse the full weight Of his Office to

100000 railroad workers were cut
$5O,O0O,0O0 by the United States rail
road labor board today.
