u. S. LEADS NATIONS
AS USER OF DRUGS
PER CAPITA CONSUMPTION
OF DOPE EXCEEDS THAT OF
CHINA, 1T rs SAID.

CHICAGO.-Sho Showing government
reports that America is the worlds
greatest drug user, manufacturing
thousands of tons of cocaine, NOR
phine, codene and heroin annually. and
having three-fourths of it, after being
exported, smuggled back into this
country for Legitimate use, Mrs Har-
riett Taylor Treadwell, president OF
the Chicago League of Women Vot-
ers, astounded members of the organ
ization.
do you know" said Mrs. Tread
well, that government reports show
that we in the United States use 40
times more narcotic drugs per capita
than the Chinese, who have always
been considered the drug drenched
nation of the world?"
Three and half tons of these
drugs are enough for the legitimate
practice of medicine for the whole
world. This amount is based upon
quantities used in hospitals, dispensa-
ries and in private places in the large
cities Of the Atlantic seaboard.
"Yet the government of India alone
supplies $50 tons of narcotic drugs
per year; China, according to English
reports, produces 1000 tons and in the
last fiscal year Turkey produced 470
tons and Persia 594 tons.
Comparisons Startling.
The comparisons among the ma
tons are enough to startle us into
immediate activity. Think of this: In
Austria the consumption of narcotics
per capita is one-half grain. In Italy,
one grain. In Germany, two. In Por-
tugal, two and half In France,
three. In Holland, three and half,
and in the United States SO.
What kind of drugged nation
are we being converted into?" she in-
CURED. Think of it, 10000 ounces of
cocaine being imported annually Sew
enty-five per cent of this for illegiti-
mate use. We import crude opium
and cocoa leaves, manufacture them
into morphine, cocaine, heroin and CO.
dene. We then export the finished
products and over three-fourths of
what we export in this way is SNUG
gled back into the United States.
These are figures that make the
mothers of the country sit up and
think China awoke to the horrors of
drug slavery some years ago and
fought two wars to keep opium and
its derivatives out of China. But the
Indian opium monopoly kept up its
work and now Japan is filling China
with drugs and doing it by means of
the japanese postoffices in China. Chi
nese can step over II inches of
ground into Japanese postal territory
and get shot OF morphine for less
than / cent in American money.
I'VE here in America are II times
worse by actual statistics than the
Chinese. Not pleasant thought now,
is it?"

100000 AUTOS
IN UNITED STATES
ONE CAR FOR EVERY PER
SONS IN COUNTRY. MIL
LION IN NEW YORK.

The year 1922 ended with 1857
$40 automobiles and motor trucks on
the roads of the United States-a gain
Of 1,851,716, or 17.6 per cent over
registration figures for 1921, says a
report made public by automotive in
dustries.
The figures mean a car of some sort
for every $40 persons in the country
New York was the first state to pass
100000 mark. 1t led with l,000,732
and also had the largest numerical
gain over the previous year with 1884,
701. The percentage gain over 1921
was largest in the District of Column
bia and in the state of Washington
the increase being 1874 per cent and
3l.2 per cent respectively.
Fees collected by the various states
from motor taxes totaled more than
$50, 100000, exceeding the 1921 hg-
ures by some $30,000,000.

DOG TRAINS HAUL THE
MAIL ON ARCTIC TRAIL
PENETRATE 1856 MILES INTO
NORTHERN WILDS. MAKE
TRIP TWICE IN WINTER.

The hardest and longest mail route
in the world passes 1923 miles through
the uncharted northland, connecting
Edmonton. capital of Alberta, Canada,
with Fort Mcpherson, just below the
Mackenzie river delta, on the Arctic
coast. Since the completion of the
new railway line to Clearwater the
journey by dog team has been short
ened by 293 miles, leaving 1855 miles
to be travelled by dog team over the
frozen rivers and lakes of the north.
Short Rail Line Built.
This long mail delivery results i'll
an annual deficit of several thousands
of dollars to Canada. Winter and sum-
mer this route is the only road
through the uncharted regions of the
northwest territory of Canada. The
Arctic Express, as the railroad to
Clearwater is called, shows a variety
and oddly of passenger and freight,
unique even on the outskirts of civili-
cation.
Northerners in buckskin coats, par
kas or heavy mackinaws Indians,
with squaws and papooses, i'll at ease
with the motion and noise of the
train; fur traders, missionaries, mount
ed police in their striking red coats
all on their way to points on the Ath-
alaska river, the Slave, the Macken-
zie and the Arctic coast.
The train arrives at Clearwater ev-
cry Thursday. Twice during the win
ter months, on Nov. II and Jan. Is,
there will be mail bags, never exceed
ing 800 pounds in weight, marked
."Actic Red River" and Fort McPher-
SON."
The Northern Trading Company,
fur dealers and traders, which has
posts throughout the northwest terri
tory, holds the contract for carrying
the mail. When the train arrives at
Clearwater on the designated days
one of their dog teams IS ready and
waiting.
The mail bags are checked, loaded
on sled, and the load, which IN
cludes the blankets of the driver, his
food, gun and the dog feed, is lashed
fight. The sleigh weighs Is pounds,
mail 800 pounds, and the dog feed and
supplies bring the total up to 5O0
pounds.
To haul this huskies, as Eskimo
dogs are called, are generally used.
They weigh around 90 pounds each,
are unusually sired by wolves, ana
their ability to stand hardships and
endurance equals that of the wild wolt
pack which roam the region.

TWENTY MILLION WORDS
TO THE SQUARE INCH
Recently Taken to the Bureau
Standards for Measurement.

The smallest piece OF engraving on
glass in the world, so it is claimed,
was recently taken to the bureau OF
standards in Washington for measure
ment. The engraving consists OF the
Lords prayer (57-word version) en-
graved on glass in space of one
thousandth by two-thousandths OF an
inch. The writing can only be seen
under a high-power microscope, the
magni6cation required being from you
Ito 1000 times. The measurements by
which the above dimensions were ue-
rermined were carried out in the lab
oratories of the bureau. The extreme
ly small size of this engraving will be
realized when it is considered that Il
IA square inch were entirely filled with
writing OF this size the entire Bible
could be written rs times in that space
in other words, something more
than 100000 words could be writ
ten in a square inch.

DOG HEIR TO ESTATE IS
BEING SOUGHT BY POLICE
No Evidence That the Canine Has
Been Killed Produced in Court.

CHICAGO.-A mystery has devel-
oped in the probating of the will of
the late Mrs. Margaret Howard, who
died last March, leaving will naming
four dogs as bene6ciaries to the ex-
tent of $4,000. One Of the dogs now
is reported missing and Judge Horner
OF the probate court has ordered that
the probate of the instrument be held
until the fate of the missing canine is
known. It was reported that the miss
ing dog had been run over by taxi
and killed, but no evidence has been
forthcoming to sustain this contention.
1t is now charged that the dog was
kidnapped by a person who planned
at some future time to produce him
and profit from the $4,000 trust
According to the terms of Mrs.
Howard's will the $4,000 is to go to
the Arkansas children's home at Lit
tie Rock at the death Of the dogs.

Tabert thou hast not died in vain,
Thy soul is marching on.
From state to state rises the indiE-

To break the shackles of some slav-

And human rights from cruel ty-

Thus has it ever been,

A Paul laid down his head upon the

At Nero's biddings, amidst the cy-

Unnumbered are the heroes, who

The fires of conscience burning.
In the souls of men and in a nations

For all mems hearts for justice,
right, and truth are yearning.
Yes thou hast not died in vain,
The leasing-system and whipping

And every where that Justice reigns,
The story of Tabert will be heard.
