KISSES USED FOR
SMUGGLING drugs
Babies Garments Also Garry
Dope to COnViets

Washington, July 7.--Dr. Heber
votaw, superintendent of prisons and
brother-in-law of President Harding.
made known yesterday some of the
findings OF federal Investigators into
the use OF drugs by federal prisoners
and means by which narcotics are
struggled into penitentiaries and in
stitutions.
Conditions have improved greatly
within the last year, he said, with the
result that thousands of prisoners are
finding 1t extremely difficult to get
even small quantities of drugs. He
aided that when the investigation
-. begun the drug traffic was -four
ishing in the Atlanta penitentiary.
The investigation disclosed that
prisoners frequently received presents
Of handkerchiefs, apparently new, but
upon examination found to have been
saturated with cocaine. Prison physi-
clans discovered that prisoners would
virtually eat the cloth and that others
would soak the handkerchiefs In
water ana use inc Hulu Hspouei-
mically.
Drugs Given in Kisses.
ut was also found" said the re-
port, that in many instances when
wives, sweetharts or other women rel
atives. were permitted to see prison.
ers they surreptitiously passed to the
men in their parting kiss a small re-
ceptacle containing drugs or narcotics.
Also In other instances, when infants
were pressed to the bars for a final
cuddling by the prisoners, they were
the innocent bearers of dope Sc
creted in the small rubber napkins or
elsewhere about their clothing.
According to DIR. Votaw many con-
victs had large quantities of drugs
hidden In the soles and heels of their
shoes when they arrived. Others car
ried narcotics in their mouths. Under
the folds of envelopes in mail arriv-
ing for prisoners frequently small
quantities of cocaine had been con-
cealed.
In a few institutions Dr. Votaw
stated guards and trustees were found
to be leagued with prisoners requiring
drugs, InOuSn Iue great NoluIne Oh
drugs entering the prison was trace
able to the prisoners and their
friends
Occasionally Slips By.
when the tact Is realized that at
Atlanta there are more than $500
prisoners and but 10 guards" said
DR.. Votaw. 1T is marvellous that the
government has been able to cope
with the situation as we'll as 1t has.
We have a splendid system of check
ing up on all material received into
the prisons. but occasionally some
dope slips by.
The drug evil is one of the most
alarming situations we must cope
with, and It is a regrettable fact that
thousands of young men and women
too are slaves to the habit. If the |
federal government would establish |
an institution for first offenders we
would be able to salvage many incip-
tent human wrecks. AS the situation
is, however, these men and women
who are Just beginning to fall VIC
Tins to the drug habit must be herd
ed with old offenders and incurable
users of narcotics"

AIR SERVICE TO LINK
 UNITED STATES-HA NAH
Brigadicr General William Mitchell of Army Airplane Units Predicts
 Supplantinc Of Steamships

Honolulu, Dec, 15.-Regular air. plan service between Hawaii and the United States requiring 20 hours should replace within five years the steamship service of five to seven days, according to Brigadier General William Mitchell. assistant chief Of the army air service, who was here recently on tour Of inspection.
 This service for mail and passen- gers, he said, was possible with the type Of plane now being constructed or planned by the United States The present type, he said. includes a plane with n flying radius of 9,000 miles with eight or ten engines operating n single propeller.
 Hawaii now possesses the most powerful and most important air service in the Pacific, and the gov ernment is awake to the needs Of greater development here" he said. "Tn time the aviation forces will be strengthened in order to make Hawaii strong defensive arm of the United States in the Pacific
 The islands, he added. form a fer tile field for commercial aviation, and there Is no reason why regular mail and passenger service among the islands should not be developed im- mcdiatcly.

 The effect Of such payments on the exchange value of the franc has also been an important obstacle.
 The recent declaration Of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon that the United States does not want to press France on this question has opened in French minds the possibility of the early funding Of tn. debt so as to put it in the form the American treasury would like. with a provision for de ferred payments Of interest and prin- cipsl that would give France time to turn around"

MIND-CCRE

In it's proper way or place, Mind cure" is in some essentials at least a part of personal or individual hygiene When a sincere regimen of health re- gulations has been carefully selected and put in running order. one must have faith or confidence. that it will help in regaining normal condition He must also have confidence in the physician who prescribes a health diet, proper exercise, baths and living conditions for his improvement
 Mental conditions affect the body and health to a marked degree. Worry over conditions or work, or failure in certain enterprises, lack of sleep or rest through worry, will have serious effects on the digestive sys- tenn.
 The X-ray has successfully detected the disturbances and arrest Of peris- taltic movements in both stomach and intestines on account of worry or fear, In other physical manifestations it has been shown that strong emotion may lead to a marked increase of sugar in the blood. In such cases. a proper mind condition will cure the prevail ing disturbances.
 The brain is the great master. To attain the desired results from any hygienic measure or treatment, the mind must concur in body welfare, The successful operation by a physi- clan depends to a great extent on the determination and will power Of the patient to get well after the opera ton.
 Mind-cure in reality is the satisfy- ing in ones own brain that all faith and hope is centered on a condition of health to be attained. Lack Of it often causes despair and death. Its working presence will build and help restore many a seem- ingly hopeless case.

advances totaling IS million liyres made by France to help the American War Of independence. All interest on that sum was waived by Louis XVI, only the principal being repaid.
 If the United States in fixing a rate Of interest were inclined to consider the capacity of range to pay, French officials believe an arrangement might be made on a per cent basis.
 This. it is pointed, would reduce the total debt to an extent that would enable the government to justify it. self before parliament for what the opposition might construe as pre- cipitable arrangement in view of the immense obligations hanging over Frances head. obliEa tions there are no visible means of satisfying. The probable effect of such an arrange ment Of French exchange is under stood to bc the greatest preoccupa- ton Of official and political circles.
 There has been some speculation here as to whether the United States might he willing to insure France against the effect of these payments on the exchange value of the franc by agreeing to suspend them when the franc was too low to permit such payments without disastrous conse- quences,
