OPIUM CONTROL PROBLEM
 OF THE GENEVA EXPERTS
Program to Limit inc Production of Narcotics Being Prepared by
 American

Geneva. April SO.--A program which will limit effectively the pro-
 duction of opium and other narcotics and eventually result in the complete suppression of the drug traffic, has
 been prepared by Edwin Neville. the
 American member of the committee
 of experts of the league of nations,
 and adopted by the committee to be
 submitted at the opium conference
 which will meet in Geneva next No vcmber. The Neville plan will be given
 the support of the English delegates
 to the convention, particularly the
 sectoins which affect countries border ing on India whose commerce is car
 ried on through Indian ports.
 The Neville plan would restrict the
 production of the opium poppy and
 the coca leaf plant in countries where
 il is not known at the present time.
 Since the cultivation of the plants is
 now a large source of revenue to cer-
 tain governments, it has been found
 impossible to effect tho complete era
 dication of the plant at present. The
 Neville program, however, suggests
 that no state in the future be allow
 ed to obtain great revenue from this
 source than is necessary to cover the
 expenses involved in controlling, the
 narcotic.
 This is admittedly a difficult prob-
 lem, since. for instance, the Persian
 government is reported to obtain one third of it's revenue from the produc-
 ton of opium. The conference will have to consider the introduction of alternative crops such as silk and cot ton,
 Furthermore. special clauses will have to be made for the states which by treaty are not allowed to raise the customs duties. and thus compensate themselves for any reduction in opium tax revenue.
 As regards transportation of the drug, Mr. Neville has accepted in principle the system of import and export licenses recently introduced by tho league, which provides that the drug be exported for medicinal pur- poses only on 8 license from the inn porting country. lie suggests there should be reciprocal right of search on the high seas in regions agreed upon, and that there should be no rc-eNnurt of opium.
 A permanent central organization to receive annual reports from all powers who are parties 10 the convention would be established. These reports abapId ahGW ihp afnnunt of nniiin, produced, imported exported and con sumea, and heavy penalties provided
 for of'enses against the regulations.

LEVENTHAL FAVORS
 10 STORY BUILDINGS
Fine Thing for City fl One Was
 Erected Tells ZOnerS

Tt would be the finest thing in the world for the city of New Britain if a 1o-story building were to be erected along Main street. stated Samuel M' Davidson of the firm of Davidson and Leventhal at a meeting of the zoning committee held last night. Mir David <on's statement came after Vice .,resident Ennis of the technical ad- yisory corporation has recommended to the committee that buildings along Main street be limited to six stories in height. For all additional stories he suggested that a set back be proposed.
 The set back idea is being used in all large cities now. New York start ed it some time ago and others are following. It insures light and air in the street.
 Mir. Davidson was not in favor of having any restriction on Main street. He said that a 10-story building would help to advertise the town and erecting large buildings would instill into residents a pride in their city.
 Three Stories Used
 Mir. Ennis said that atethe present time hardly three stories of the build ings are being used for business pur- poses. He pointed out the additional traffic there would be on the streets should office buildings approaching 10 or more stories be erected. He spoke of increased fire department and police department and stated that traffic conditions would be made worse.
 It was decided that the question was too ponderous 10 be disposed Of at that time and it was put over until a future meeting.
 Fine! Fine'!. exclaimed AIrs En- nis, when the committee passed the proposed ordinance forbidding a resi- dence in any public garage. That's the finest stuff I've ever seen in con nection with a zoning ordinance" He said that the committee was giving careful consideration to all the sug- gestions and the objections and ques- tions were coming up at just the right time. "What gets by will stay by he said.
 Considerable discussion was heard regarding apartment houses and the reStflctlon on tneHl. lAlls ihtsiipn, lt was decided, needed more study, and was put aside. The committee eN- pressed itself as wishing 10 know what other cities are doing in this re- spect. MT. Ennis stated that lie would send data on Hartford and Springfield.
 Many of the. ordinances were ao- cepted and the committee was in sts- sion until nearly 12 o'clock hearing Mir. Ennis explanations.
 The duties of the board of appeals which will be created to hear extra ordinary cases regarding the zoning ordinances, were defined by the speaks CT. This board will be appointed by the mayor, subject to the approval of the council and shall he composed of five members II will he n nnn-parti- san board. On this sentence the com. mittee was especially emphatic. II was voted that politics should be kert entirely out of this committee,
 It was also decided that the mem bers of this board cannot be removed without proper impeachment proceeds ings. The mayor cannot remove them for cause. The term of service is i've years.

CHAPTER TX
Below the aIls.

From the ninth of October, when
Joe telegraphed Jennie for inforIna-
ton on the totals of the drafts that
were coming in, his office heard no
word of him until within a week Of
the expiration Of Williamson's offer.
1t was an anxious time for Jennie,
saved from being desperate only by
continual asseveration Of her faith
that Joe would turn up in time, bring
ing some sort of means Of salvation
with him.
But on Tueseay, the second Of No
Sember, just as she was getting ready
to leave the office at the end of the
afternoon, boy from the Stratford
hotel brought her note written In
iraj-pencil, in hand so little like
Joe's that momentarily she doubted
the signature. 1t asked her simply to
come up and see him as soon as she
could, telling her the number of the
room he was in. He had scrlbbled the
words, Its all right after signing,
but this she took as referring merely
to the propriety of her visit
With Notwithstanding premonition
that everything that mattered had
utterly gone wrong, she went along
with the bellboy to the hotel and
had him show her up to Joe's room.
He called in answer to her knock.
Come in, Jennie, if that's you.'

room was unlighted save by small

all alone, was sitting in an easy chair
that had been drawn up to one Of the
windows, a rug across his knees. He
looked round at her and nodded toward
another chair that shared the en-
brasure, but made no other move.
1t was all she could do not to wesp.
