U.S.. DIVISION OF
NARCOTICS IS
URGED
Cong. Porter Tells President
Strenuous Enforcement OF
Drug Laws Is Essential.

Creation of a Federal narcotic
division, equal in Importance to the
prohibition bureau, will be pro-
posed in the next Congress, it was
announced yesterday by Congressman
Stephen C. Porter, chairman OF the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
during a visit to the White House
Porter reported to President Cool
idge on the drug conference recent
ly held by the League Of Nations
at Geneva.
Enforcement Of the narcotic law
is far more important to the health
and safety than Is the proh1oition
law" said Porter. "It IL my opin-
ion the narcotic division should be
increased to the importance or the
prohibition unit.
Congressman Porter called atteh,
ton to the alarming increase IN
drug addicts in this country and
asserted that enforcement Of the
narcotic law should be kept apart
from the tyranny OF politics, ana
that more liberal appropriation
should be made to permit OF q
stricter enforcement"
The Congressman admitted that
any measurable success in suppress
ing the dope traffic would be con
tingent upon the success OF efforte
now being made to procure an
agreement from other nations for
restriction in production Of opiates
at the source.

CHAPTER L.
I'VE will walt for Mr.. Sumner, my
dears."
James Horton, deacon In the First
Congregational church of Fatrtown,
addressed this remark to his two
daughters at the close of the Sunday
morning service.
The trio were in the yestibule of
the church. Marian, the younger of
the Horton girls, voiced faint demur.
'It is necessary for all three of
us to escort the new minister to our
house for dinner, Dad" she laughed.
George Dixon is waiting out on the
sidewalk, aud l know he wants to
walk home with me-"
GO on with him." Lois, her sister,
advised Father and l will wait for
Mr.. Sumner
But at this instant the Rev. Harold
Sumner appeared in the yestibule.
He was a young man, tall and fair
He had played football on his college
team-a fact that gave him IAN added
Importance in the eyes of the younger
members of his congregation. He hac
been pastor of the exclusive and pros
perious Fairtown church for only
three weeks. James Horton had in
vited the new minister to his house
to dinner today. AS deacon and one
of the leading members of the church
James Horton could always be
counted. on to do the correct thing.
In this practice he was aided and
abetted by his daughter, Lois. AL
though two years older than her
sister, her fair coloring and small
stature gave her the appearance of
extreme youth. In fact she was but
% years old, while Marian was FL.
Marian was as dark as Lois was fair.
Lois looks like a little saint-you
like a rather jolly gypsy" George
Dixon had said once to Marian.
Now, as the sisters stood side by
side, the contrast between them was
marked Marian's brown eyes were
bright and restless. Lois's blue eyes
were calm and peaceful. Yet it was
at the brunette that the minister
glanced first in greeting the pair.
/ Good morning!" he said to her,
taking her outstretched hand before
shaking hands with Lois. Good morn
ing, Mr.. Horton" to the father, You
three are very kind to take pity on
lonely man and ask him to dinner.

promptly And we are grateful to
you for accepting.

PRICES I. BONDS
HIGHER LAST WEEK
Chief Interest Centers In
Rails, With Puplic UtiIi-
ties Also In Demand

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-(By Asso-
ciated Press.)-With few exceptions
bond prices improved during the past
week in the trading on the New Fork
Stock exchange and insover-the coun-
ter transactions. Bond dealers re-
ported increased buying from savings
banks and insurance companies, and
stated also that foreign purchases
were running at a high rate.
New financing continued large, the
total for last week being S65, 900,
as compared with S45, 1872, 500 the pre-
vious week.
The new issues were absorbed
readily, it was stated.
The approach of the holidays gave
most of the stimulus in the outside
market, many purchases being made
for Christmas gifts.
Bonds of all classes called for pay
ment in December in advance of ma
turity, aggregated $12,So72 200, against
$11 100000 in November.
Interest Centers In Rails.
Chief interest recently has CEN
tered in the railroad group, although
dealers reported that the volume of
INQUIRIES from abroad for public util-
ity liens is on the increase. Few of
these inquiries yet has developed
sales, but traders express confidence
that these liens, already popular
among American investors, are rap
idly becoming better known to indi-
viduals in Europe.
Statistics compiled by financial
news agency disclosed that bond
prices were unusually steady in No
vember. This compilation showed
also that despite greatly increased
activity in the trading, the actual
rally in prices from the October low
point has been small.
Important new offerings last week
were: S1o,o00.OO0 10-year 81 per cent

girl living in abject poverty with a
ne'er- do well husband, while the man
with the nose rose to the height of
his profession.
As for the man quarreling with the
girls mother when she tried to map
out their future for them, that speaks
we'll for him instead of i'll. The
bossy mother in law breaks up more
homes than any other one thing, SO
the divorce courts say, and perhaps
it Is just as we'll to settle who is to
be the head of the house before mar
riage as after it.
In this particular case I should say
that the girl would be wise to go
along and marry her sweetheart.
Mother will come around. and there
will probably be no more love lost
than there is between the average
mother-in-law and son-in-law.
Dear Miss DIX am a girl twenty
years of age. and am engaged to
man thirty-three. He seems devoted
to me, and tells me that he loves me
better than any one on earth, but
before l met him he had been going
with another girl for sexen years.
Do you think this man really loves

Answer: As trouble borrower.
Leila, you are worlds wonder. If
you are going to make yourself mis-
cradle specializing over something
that might happen If something else
happened that hasn't happened, you
are in for nice dark blue existence.
So cheer up and take the goods the
gods provide, and let it go at that.
The best proof that the man didn't
want the seven years lady Is that he
didn't marry. her. So forget that.
And as for man being able to fall
in love in two years, why, two min
utes is ample time for it, SO that's
that. Furthermore, it doesn't make
a particle of difference whom a man
loved in the past. All that counts is
that he loves you now. So can your

past week naturally conferred in
President Coolidge,s message, and,
judging by the behavior of the Sc

treasured by the definite stand taken
in favor OF tax reduction and most
observers were pleased with the po

Final returns on the net earnings

showed a total of $102, 200, 900, or AIS

September. Car loadings meanwhile

Reports from the steel industry

WI Bush's release as manager OF
G the Washington American
League team Is still a topic OF con
versation here.
All things considered. Bush has
done well in his first year as a big
league pilot. From a sixth position
club in 1922. he brought the Grin
entry into fourth this season. half a
game ahead Of the Browns.
On July 81, the Bushmen were en-
trenched in seventh place, with forty
one games won and fifty-one lost for
an average .446.
But the team suddenly spurted.
Apparently Bush had finally instilled
some Of the dash and ginger into his
players which had made him famous
in his playing days. Washington crept
past the Athletics, 1t jumped ahead Of
Chicago and on the very last day OF
the campaign nosed st. Louis oIt for
a berth IN the first section. Thus the
general verdict was that Bush had
done well with the material at hand.

He was out in his corner for ten
