CLtRTYSS SUCCEEDS
IN TEST OF GLIDER
AS AERIAL TARGET

PORT WASHINGTON, u. T.. October
"A special test with = 140-pound
glider, towed by q seaplane. was con-
ducted here under supervision on
Glenn H. Curtiss, airplane inventor
and pioneer and experimenter in
aeronsutics.
I Several weeks ago Mr.. Curtiss sue
cessfully employed a motor boat to
raise a glider from the surface of the
water. The new experiment was made
chiefly, 1Mr. Curtiss said, to develop
q moving aerial target long sought by
aviation officers of the Army.
The glider was attached to the sea-
plane by zn S00-foot wire, and was
piioted by David H. McCulloch. 1t
was towed across Manhassett bay by
a Curtiss saaplane. and rose almost
at the same moment that the plane
left the water. McCulloch kept the
glider from t1fty to seventy-fve feet
above the plane in order to receive
the benefits of air currents which
were in no way disturbed by the flight
Of the plane When he had gained an
altitude of 200 Geet, the wire was cut
and the glider sailed back to the sur
face of the bay.
Mr.. Curtiss SAIL he was satisfied
with the test, wlEch he described as
an extremely haszardous undertak-
ing.

WILL CALL NATIONS
TOCURB NARCOTICS
Representative Porter Tells
President of Great Increase
in Use of Opium.
HOPES T0LESSEN OUTPUT
Resolution in Congress to Summon
=. Conference for Ending ),
; Present Abuses.
HOPES TO 0LEssEN 0UTFU'

= So alarming has become the in
crease in the use of narcotics in this
country within the last few years
that Representative Porter of Penn
sylvania. chairman of the House COM
mittee on foreign affairs, will at the
next session of Congress introduce
resolution calling for a conference of
nations to bring about reduction. in
the production of such forms of
drugs.
Representative Potter made this
known Saturday efterpoon at the
White House, following a conference
with. President Harding, when he told
the latter, of statistics recently OBJ
tanned showing the tremendous In
aIkaloids, such as morphine, cocaine,
etc. He called the executives atten-
tion to the fact that there is already
an abundance of law prohibiting the
illicit sale of narcotics. and that there
is also q treaty with a number OF
opium-producing countries. put ne ne
this country will not be materially
decreased without better under
standing. such as will be proposed by
the conference to be provided for in
his resolution.
ACCOTQlu& W NIL OE tCi Sh0 Soh-
sumption, of opium in the United
states is thirty-fve grains per capita
per year. compared with not more
than five grains in all other countries,
with the exception OF India and pos
sibly China. although the latter ma
ton recently enacted laws SO strin-
gent that the consumption has been
greatly reduced.
Representative Porter's statistics
show that 1,211 tons of opium are
produced annually. the major portion
in India. although it is ~Bnown that
ten tons would be sufficient to an
swer the medicinal requirements OF
the entire world Therefore. more than
90 per cent OF the annual output of
this drug is destined to destructive
ends.
An interesting fact which Repre-
sentative Porter alleged by his in
formation and figures Is that in the
United States the narcotic addicts are
for the greater part persons under
twenty years of age.
