FL PASO VIEWS "DRUG'
 PROBLEM AS SERIOUS

FL PASO, Tex, March S.-El Paso has a drug problem to solve, and ac- cording to city and county officials, 1t is a serious one. Mrs. Emma Web ster, county probation officer, ina statement asserts that more than 100 boys here are confirmed drug addists. Daily she is confronted by heart broken parents, who have just found that their children are using mar cotics in some form. One belief ex- pressed by those who claim to know is that a modern "Fagin" Is teaching young people to use narcotics. Smugglers are believed to be ths chief source of supply. Mrs. Webster said that many children in Juarez are farming the habit or already are confirmed addicts to the use of va. rious drugs.
 Curiosity is one of the chief fac tors in the forming of the habit, au- thorities say. as many will try 1t once, ignorant of the misery that follows. A few years ago, according to cor poration Judge Charles Pollock, one could have counted the drug users on the fingers of one hand. Now, he says, there is an average of one a day at least, before him, not counting the many who fall into the hands of federal officers and are sent to Leav- enworth prison for cure.
 Drug addicts are not now confined to the poverty stricken, but are found in all walks of life, from the poorest to the members of rich social circles, college hoys and girls and various employees of the business world, ac- cording to these authorities.
 Judge Manuel Ayala of the Juarez lower court, declares that the tricks employed by narcotic vendors are many and varied and constitute 8 diff ficult problem for the officers.
 One tricks was discovered when man was arrested for selling small match boxes to boys at 25 cents each Investigation proved that a drug was wrapped in small papers and hidden beneath the matches.

ECTOPLASM NOW | PROVEN THEORY, DOYLE ASSERTS
English Man of Letters Resents Toc Mu~h C-i+;cie--, of
 Theory

NEW YORK. March 3.-Demonstra- tfon of ectoplasm, the intangible sub stance declared by certain spiritual ists to be emitted by mediums. be- fore a group of 100 leading Austrian scientists. was announced by Sir Ar thur Conan Doyle in a letter pub lished in the New York Times today.
 Thirteen seanees were held. Sir Ar thur wrote, at which Dr. Sprenck- Notzing of Munich demonstrated with Willie s. A Young. German medium, and convinced slleptIcs and bitter op- ponents of his theory that the claims of spiritualists that ectopiasin exists are true.
 Sir Arthur's letter. which was a re- ply to his critics, said in part:
 T have refused the report of the recent demonstration by Dr. Schrenk- Notzing at Munich, which surely puts an end to the whole debate, so that anyone who reopens 1t is inexcusa bly, ignorant or wilfully perverse.
 of the zoo (who witnessed the demonstration, S1 are university professors, including Zimmer, Beech erm, Kalker, Freytag. Selzer Cartez. Vanino, Ruber. Hortogs, Heilner. Geigner. some of whom verified their results in as many as 12 seances. A
 
 is promised in the next number of the Revue Meta physique of Paris.
 So that seems to be settled as clearly as any matter can be settled, but we can hardly leave 1t without pointing the moral. We were public 1y assured by Professor Justrow, Mr. Black of Montreal, and. I am sorry to say. by my friend, Houdini, that this was all what they called bunk and that what we observed was really regurgitated food. In vain we point ed out on the occasion of demonstra- tions by the famous medium. Eva, Chat the substance was white, whereas the medium had been made to swallow carmine. My last mails from the states still bring me absurd asser- tions othat it was regurgitated food.
 Criticism is most welcome and helpful, but l would beg our oppo- nents to exercise some restraint in 1t or they make the subject and themselves rather ridiculous"

LUMBER INDUSTRY BRINGS ALEXANDER CITY b|G RETURNS
About 15,000,000 Feet Han- died Annually Bring S350,- GOO to $500, ,OOO Into
 Circulation
ALEXANDRA CITY. Ala. March

ALEXANDRA CITY, Ala. March 3, Special l)-An industry for this city that is again coming into It's own with rapid strides is that of manufacturing yellow pine lumber. Following the business slump of a year or two ago, the lumber busi- ness fell along with all other lines. but even at that time a market was found for the product turned out by the mills around Alexander City, be- cause 1t was long leaf yellow pine lumber, for which there has always been a demand and that too, at a. price considerably above other grades of lumber.
 One reason for the demand of lum- Der manufa ctured by the mills around Alexander City has been the fact that much of it has been seasoned by kiln drying, making 1t adaptable to building purpose without loss of time to the buyer taken out in the drying process. This lumber had been cut and dryed with view of using 1t largely In the erection of resi- dences and business structure, which made 1t much in demand This not only created a demand for the prod uet. but helped to hold the price of lumber up here when it was sag ging at other places.
 So great has the lumber business become that something like 15,0o0, 900 feet are handled annually through this market, bringing In returns from s350.ooo to s5O0.o0o, adding quite a sum to the business life of Alexander City and the surrounding country. Now that the price is again on the upgrade and the demand great, there Is much activity in lumber manufac- turing circles.
 Another item in connection with the lumber industry in this city and section is that much of the lumber is made into the finished product here in this city by the Alexander City Manufacturing company, which makes doors, windows, screens, show cases, etc, all of which, of course, are not made of pine lumber, but much is made of the better grades of yellow lumber Lumber manufac- trrers and dealers are looking for ward to a big business this year. be- cause of the increased building ac- tivity, not only in the south, but over the entire country.

PAPER MILL SOUGHT

Probability that large paper manufacturing mill will be located in Albany Decatur soon loomed here Saturday when the Chamber of Com merce announced that 1t is negoti- ating with the owners of new plant and that the railroad facilities and proximity to this section of large tracts of timber led to the be- lief that the mill will be located here.

Location of the paper mill here would give em- ployment to many people, it was pointed out, but would create also a strong market for gum and other soft woods at good price. thereby hringing many thousands of dollars to the Tennessee valley.
