THIRD GRADE PUPILS
 SMOKE AND CHEW, SAYS
 MICHIGAN SCHOOL HEAD

HILLSDALE, Mich, Nov. S.-Vig- orous measures to wipe out cigarette smoking among third grade school boys here have been taken by s. J. Gier, superintendent of schools, fol lowing an investigation which showed, he asserted, that the use of tobacco among school children virtually amounts to an epidemic.
 School children of nine and ten years are almost addicted to chewing tobacco and smoking it in pipes, Su- perintendent Gier said. Many pupils are said to have admitted grocers and tobacco dealers sell tobacco to minors without question. Prosecutions will follow, the superintendent declares.
 Fifty pupils in third to eighth grade are smokers, Gier estimated after questioning them, and about sixty in high school.

US. WOMAN SAW HORRORS IN
 SMYRNA

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.--Filth, pes tiienca and death followed the Tur- kish occupation of Smyrna, accord ing to Dr. Esther Loyejoy, Of this city. Dr. Lovejoy, president of the International Medical Women's As sociation, was the only American woman present during the Turkish occupation of Symrna. She returned recently to her home here.
 Only a few days ago cholera was discovered in Smyrna and since the refugees have been transferred to many different ports the disease is bound to spread. Many dead bodies are still floating about the docks. The streets are in an unspeakable state and probably will not be cleaned for weeks. The simplest sanitation Is out of the question.
 T went to Smyrna" says Dr. Lovejoy, with an open mind, and no baised opinions, and for long time I retained that attitude. The Turkish soldiers have great re- spect for the American uniform, and I noticed that when an Ameri- can was in evidence the Turks treatment of Christians was much modified.
 When I reached Smyrna all but the Turkish quarter was smolder. ing ruin, and the docks were simply alive with refugees. The Turkish quarter, however, was in no way damaged, and the bazaars seemed to be doing more business than be. fore the disaster.
 "When Christian women were compelled to leave their homes they took with them only a few of their belongings. AS women will, they wore their best clothers, and most of them had on high-heeled shoes After these women had been on the docks of Smyrna for two weeks and their clothes were torn and muddy and bedraggled the effect was weird The high-heeled shoes had been lost in the mad rush. Most of the women were barefooted.
 "The entire city beyond two blocks from the docks was in the hands of the Turks, and after night fall no one knew exactly what took

place. In the dark piercing screams
 were heard-one taken up by an other and in a short time the en-
 tire section was bowling, blood
 curdling bedlam. We could see
 nothing, but we knew the morning
 would bring tales of missing daugh- ters.
 American sailors did much to aid the suffering. In their clean white uniforms they stood out in contrast to the poor, starving people they were guarding. The sailors were
 sometimes reprimanded by their of ficers for going outside of their line of duty in their eagerness to aid women and children.
 "The women did not dare to en- ter a house. They were afraid of being outraged should they leave
 their places on the docks. For two weeks they lived on the same
 wharf, not daring to quit one spot
 lest they lose their only place of
 safety.
 aThe Turks pressed into service an iron picket fence that runs the
 length of the docks. All refugees had to pass along this fence to board the steamers. AS they passed
 along the Turkish soldiers stopped the men of military age and took everything of value from all. If man, women or child Jagged or in- terfered with the movement through the gate they were strapped.
 "Women were searched in a bold, brutal manner. Their waists were
 torn open in the front. Their dress es were lifted and their stockings pulled down in the quest for loot. All rings were torn from their fin
 gers, and earrings were literally yanked from their ears.
 Many men of military age cut their throats when they saw that 1t was hopeless to trp to escape. One old man came to us to help him find his daughter, whom he had left in a little shed. He had gone in search of bread. When he re turned she had disappeared. We told the father we could not find
 her. He pulled knife, I was un'
 able to prevent him. He cut his throat and fell at my feet.
 "The man in charge of loading
 the refugees aboard the boats was
 called the packer He actually did pack the people aboard.
 q was called upon for case oi
 childbirth in the hold of one of these
 steamers. The women were almost | wedged in. The air was so close that the atmosphere was humid.

Reece was indicted by the grand
jury a year or so ago on a murder
charge. 1t was alleged that he per-
mitted a snake to bite and kill one OF
his children. However, when the case

Judge declaring every person in this

DON'T LEAVE PARCELS
OUTSIDE MAIL BOXES
Public Warned to Place Them
Inside ReceptacIes for
Safety.

Persons who take valuable parcels,
place them under or near mail boxes
and then trust TO luck for their deliv-
cry cannot blame Uncle Sam if they
fail TO reach their destination
Postal authorities today made this
clear IN discussing the trustful habit
possessed by some folks in mailing
letters and parcels. 1t Is q common
sight downtown to see large patches
OF mail placed on the tops Of letter boxes
in and near Office buildings. Occasion
ally long parcels or big ones are pumped
down near boxes on the street corner.
The belief is that these letters and
parcels are in the care of Uncle Sam,
and that no one will touch them ex-
cept mail carriers. As a matter OF
fact, the postoffice does not consider
anything mailed that is not placed
on the inside-not the outside-of the
receptacles for such purpose made
and provided, postal officials say.
At the same time this ruling was
explained, the authorities exploded the
tender myth which some people be
lieve, that because such letters and par
cells are so placed, and very frequentl,
remain on the outside or boxes unit
collected, that the public is muci
more honest than it is supposed to be.
A man who receives M il that isilef
in this way will naturally praise th
honesty of human nature, OF st tn
least the respect with which the gov
eminent has inspired the dishonest
That is all right for him. But Their
is a certain proportion Of the mail
hungry public that complains abou
the non-delivery of matter. In man,
cases the cause is found to be that til
matter was not placed inside the DO
provided.
There are miscarriages of mail oc
caSonally, it was said, because letter
are dropped into the larger boxes pre-
vided for parcels. Some Of the ma
thus carelessly dropped gets mike
with the parcels and obscured, wit
the result that it is taken to the wron
destination and the postoffice, instea
Of the sender, is criticised.
