Jail, Capt. w. l.. Peake, declares in
his annual report to the board Of
charities that the use of both drugs
and intoxicants is on the increase
at the seat of the federal govern
mcnt. Extracts from the report
follow:
"Those who traffic in drugs are
often there own best customers,
and for this reason there was an
increase of twenty-six in the num-
Der Of cases requiring hospital
treatment during the early days of
their confinement. An increase in
the number Of women victims is
noted.
"1ntoxication continues to in
crease, in spite of the drastic laws
aimed at its determination. More
than 1000 cases came under the
various acts, 1,943 of which were of
the police court variety, showing
gain Of 846 over last year."

Unless the market for elk teeth is

Indian braves decorated themselves
with necklaces made of claws taken
from the most ferocious animal in
America, the grizzly bear. Only the
squaws wore elk teeth as decorations
and they used only those from the
animals killed for food and clothing
Now the white men are following the
fashion of the squaws, but are pay

for this wanton destruction Of our

used $50 pounds per crop acre,
Georgia 218 pounds, Alabama 21O

States used still less. Little COM

FORD RETAIL SALES
MAKE NEW RECORD
Company Reports Total Sales Have
Reached 500 Machines a Day

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks
and tractors established a new high
record during June. when, according
70 statement issued from the Ford
Factory at Detroit, an average of s.
709 machines were sold daily.
Ford sales have been showing a
constant increase each month this
year; June being the highest in the
history of the Company with a total
OF l48,439 cars, trucks and tractors.
Of this number, 6,054 were sold bv
the Ford Company Of Canada and 8.
$50 by the various European Ford
companies and South American
Branches, reaching purchasers in
practically every civilized country in
the world. ''
With the closing Of business for
June, Ford records disclosed the fact
that total sales for the first six
months of 1922 were we'll over the
half-million mark, the exact figures
being 652,261. This is also a new high
record as it is considerably in advance
of any previous half-year period.
July Ford sales are expected to
equal, and probably eclipse June. The
estimated output Of cars, trucks and
tractors has been placed at 151 ,7G7,
although dealers have requisitioncd
more than 100000.
FORD officials state that every at
tempt has been made to supply their
dealers with sufficient cars to fiji their
orders, but that for the past three
months, prompt deliveries have been
impossible with some of the types.
The demand for Ford enclosed cars
has been especially hard to meet, due
to the ever-increasing popularity of
the Coupe and Sedan for all year
around use.
a reflection of general business con-
ditions is even in the record of Ford
truck sales, which show an increase
of eighty-four cent over last wear,
Merchants and farmers alike have
come to recognize the utility of the
motor truck in cutting transportation
costs and speeding up deliveries, and
the fact that they are buying nearly
twice as many now as year ago
clearly points to better business CON
ditions.
At the present time Ford is employ
ing $4,000 men in Detroit.--Adv.

STATION AGENTS STICK
Strike Averted When oBard Member
and Union Head Confer

Chicago, July 2A,-The averting
of strike of approximately 10000
station agents, preparations for the
formation of new unions of shop
workers on forty Eastern roads,
and negotiations for separate
peace on the Baltimore and Ohio
marked the progress today Of the
railway shopmcn's. strike.
The move for new unions to take
the place Of the striking shop
crafts was initiated by l.. F. Loree,
Eastern regional chairman Of the
Association Of Railway Executives
and was taken as an indication of
the intention Of the roads to hold
out against the strikers demand
for a return Of seniority rights as
preliminary to any settlement.
Separate Negotiations
The Eastern roads, according to
Mr.. Lorec, plan to take advantage
of rulings by the labor board by
organizing new shopmen in such a
way that each system will have
it's own union and will be able to
negotiate separately with it's men.
Parleys for separate peace due
tomorrow at Baltimore between
representatives Of = the striking
shopmen and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway attracted considera-
bic attention in union circles but
strike leaders refused to make any
comment.
The efforts Of w. L. McMenimen,
labor member of the rail board, to-
day prevented a further spread of
the strike at conference with w.

him such assurances that the sta

Few Outbreaks
Comparatively few outbreaks
were reported during the day, but
further cancellation of trains, said
to be due mostly to the shortage of
coal, were reported from various
sections. The Grand Trunk took off
two trains between Chicago and
Detroit and two between Chicago
