must have been recruited before the age of 20. Reports from several cities arethat peddlers are recruiting in the schools. A government report asserts that youth will become an addict in ten days and mature man in 30 days.
 Police records show more than 17,000 heroin addicts in the public schools of one borough of New Yrk City. Each one of these is corrupting his schoolmates. In Seattle, one boy caused 30 to become addicts.
 The medical profession used to be- .ieve that ten per cent of addicts could be cured if sent to hospitals for regular treatment. The doctors followed up the ten supposed to be cured, and found that nine of them reNeTteu lO duulCtlOu.
 The International Narcotic Edu- cation Association, which has head quarters in Los Angeles, is attacking this problem as one of prevention by means of education. The Associa. tion's motto is "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" When the truth is fully known about the nature of narcotic drugs and their effect on the human system, narcotic drugs will be doom ed as a factor for evel in human af fairs. The Association believes that no one will voluntarily become an addict after he has learned the na ture of the horrible disease, called addiction, which inevitably follows the continued use of narcotics.
 The Association plans to have all teachers in the schools of the United States to give the children scientific instruction concerning the cause and nature of narcotic addiction, and to have literature on the subject placed in the homes through the CO., operation of Chambers of Commerce, Boy Scouts, civic clubs and other agencies whose purpose is to advance the common welfare. In this way it is proposed to make the rising gen eration immune to the enticements of the dope peddler.
 To this end the association makes its appeal to every agency of light in the land, to every good citizen, to
 join in this effort to arouse the na- tion to seriousness of the situation
 concerning narcotics, so that not a child shall leave the classroom at
 the end of the present school year without having been taught and warned and not a home shall be left
 without a warning bulletin on the l"Peril of Narcotics"

Aldermans on Visit Here

Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney Alder
man of Greensboro and their
daughter Frances came to Chap
ell Hill Sunday for a few hours
stay. They were accompanied
by Mademoiselle Suzanne Steck,
Mrs. Alderman's sister, who
came over from France a few
weeks ago, and by Miss Mar
guerite Alderman. Frances AL
derman is three and a half
years old. When she was in
Chapel Hill last spring it was
chronicled that she spoke Eng
lish and French alternately, with
equal facility, but it appears
that she has about given up
French now. Her unwillingness
to speak the language Sunday
may have been due, however,
to her not liking the queer
sounds made by a Chapel Hill
ian who sought to address her
in what he thought was French.

Joined in 'possum hunt in the
woods east of town Saturday
night. Claudius T. Murchison,
acting dean of the school of
commerce, was the host, but the
real boss of the party was Dun

hunter who brought along four
hounds, a bag for the captives.
and a profound knowledge of
poSsum-kind.
Besides Duncan and his dogs.
there were six in the party. Mr..
and Mrs. Murchison, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gerald Johnson, T. Comp
ton Packenham of the school of
commerce faculty, and Miss
Guelda Elliott, secretary for the
school of commerce.
Fortunately Gerald Johnson
mad kept enough of his World
war Khaki uniforms to supply
one to his wife; and the other
TWO women were also handsome
ly fitted out with breeches.
1t was noted, before the hunt
had been in progress long. that
the head Of the department of
Journalism kept his footinc
much better in the rough woods
than did the dean of the school
or commerce, Mr.. Murchison
although an experienced hunt
er, tripped again and again ov-
er boulders and fallen trees
sometimes going completely
down, while Mr.. Johnson strobe
confidently ahead without anv
such mishaps. This is attribut-
ed by his friends to the fact
that he has had long exper-
ience with night work, and with
threading his way through the
desks and other obstacles that
cluttered up the notoriously ov-
ercrowded offices which the
Greensboro News occupied until
recently.
The hunters started out in
the pitch dark soon after nine
O'Clock, an hour or more before
the moon rose. They trod
through the woods, and cross
ed and recrossed brook with
out finding any sign of a pos
sum. But soon after the moon
came up the hounds raised a
terrific howl, circled around and
around a tree, and jumped fran
tically toward the sky.
The 'possum was deserted
on the topmost branch. Dun
can ascended the tree, cut off
the limb, and the 'possum fell.
The negro had given strict or
ders that two of the dogs be
held tight. But human hands
were not equal to the task, and
all four pounced upon the prey.
The 'possum was rescued from
them before they could des-
patch him, and was stuffed in
to Duncan's bag.
After midnight, as the weary
party was marching homeward,
another 'pOssum was treed and
met the same fate. Both the
captives were taken home by
the negro as his perquisites.
One of the incidents of the
evenings entertainment was a
false step by Miss Guelda Ell
lott, followed. by a plunge into
the brook. Luckily the stream
was shallow. Another exper-
ience that fell to her was being
rolled down the hill because she
was too conscientious in trying
to hold in check one Of the en-
