giving. Miss Moody TOLD the story.
One Sunday. walking home behind
little primary girls, she heard one
say. to the other, "Your teacher must
chew twice as much gum as does
mine because I gave my teacher one
cent and you gave your teacher two
cents.
The dangerous age, when the child
needs help the most is best told,
Miss Moody affirms, but this story.
One Saturday afternoon a small boy
was instructed by his mother to
spade the garden Of the home which
was adjoining a ten-acie lot where
the boys played ball. He was busy
spading when shout went up from
the players. He peeked through a
crack in the fence and envied them
Then he remembered the promise to
his mother. He went back to his
work. Another shout. This time he
looked through a knot hole in the
gate. Went back to work. A third
time Of great excitement. One Of the
teams had made home run and
there was much noise. The boy
dropped the spade. dashed through
the gate and, into the field. From
the house came the voice of his
mother, Edward" and the boy
slowly retraced his steps. head hang
ing look and feet dragging. Then
his mother scolded him: said she
had seen him peek through the
crack; saw him come back was
proud of him: saw him peek through
the knot hole and come back:

Limit Opium Growth
Mrs. Wright's Final Goal

Geneva, Sept. ia. p. by MaiD--
Mrs. Hamilton Wright of Washing
ton intends actively to continue her
| endeavors to secure a limitation of
the production of opium in those
countries which grow the poppy
| plant. despite the failure of the
! League of Nations Opium Commits
sion to find any solution OF this
| opium commission Mrs.i Wright in
PRODUCED a resolution asking the
! council of the league to approach the
governments of Persia and Turkey
| to ascertain whether they are con-
templa ting the substitution of other
| crops for such opium as is produced
| over and above the legitimate world
requirements, but in view of the OBJ
| jections raised by various European
| delegates, she withdrew her resolu-
| ton.
| The Opium Commission seems to
feel that there is no ractical way of
| forcing any individual country to
! curb its poppy planting short of
| decision to send an army of enforce
| ment into the affected countries. AS
| nobody thinks seriously of going to
| this extreme. the experts have
| framed a project to be submitted to
| the international Opium Conference
setting up of an international board
| Of control to handle the whole ques-
| ton of narcotic drugs and which
stipulates that every country shall
make an annual estimate of it's re-
quirements in opium and narcotic
drugs like morphine, heroin and CO.
caine. Extensive powers are given
to the board of control 10 reject any
national estimate which is deemed
unreasonable. The experts believe
that by this system national con-
sumption will be checked. and that
tries will find extensive opium grow
ing an unpaying proposition.
But Mrs. Wright. like many other
Americans, is firmly convinced that
the opium evil cannot be met ade-
quately unless direct steps are taken
to limit production in countries like
Persia and Turkey. Outlining her
views to the correspondent Of The
Associated Press. Mrs. Wright de-
clared that there was no use what
soever In attempting 10 boycott the
producing countries. as some people
favored doing, because. in her opin-
ion. the producing countries could
easily retort by themselves going
into the business of manufacturing
narcotic drugs and by subsequently
flooding the International markets.

are derived from opium. She said

replace the opium crops with crops
of silk. cotton, tobacco or wheat.
Mrs. Wright explained that she Is
trying to induce the National SILK
Association Of the niUted States to
start silk factories in Persia as first
step towards substitution of the
opium crops with the idea of DEM
cnstrating to the Persians that silk
is just as good a money proposition
as opium. Another way OF achiev-
ing results. she said, was for the
powers to agree to give economic in
dependence to Persia in the way Of
import duties, thus giving something
tangible to Persia in return for her
abandonment OF opium growing.

"who hit meg" the prince inquired.
"She did"
He looked at Jane.< In pure Brook
lynese he moaned, "i'll say she packs
a hefty punch"
n hour later the Kid and Jane
were receiving congratulations
at one end of the counter at T-Bone's.
How did you work it out?" final

She laughed. "The picture Of the

it was the prince.
I'm flash 1 remembered a lot of
things-the K guy being chased out
Of New Orleans, San Ansone and Ell
Paso. I remembered how uninter-
ested in playing in the picture he was
until the boss mentioned Mexico.
Right away he saw the easiest way
imaginable to cross the border.
"I knew the X guy was q crack
swimmer. Let the prince wouldn't
get himself wet. His color would
run. Then I ran out and asked Sam
and Louis to locate the prince and
bring him here"
But, listen." I said. "you must have
had something more definite than
putty-colored hunch to make you turn
the prince over to the police"
"Of course 1 had. You told me
about 1.-THE British embassy check;
the check for $4,000. Before escap-
ing for good, he just couldn't resist
passing one more K check"
"K check?" I repeated, puzzled.
"It wasn't a K check he gave the

"Pardon-to u.s." piped up the Kid.
"Ah, Mr.. Walker" Jane turned to
him, smiling affectedly, did 1 hear
you inviting the boys to a cup of
coffee on the $3.50 the prince gave
us?"
"'Tis a good idea," laughed the Kid.
Then with q wink at tho gang, he
said. "And listen, don't give me no
cracked cup"
"Try and find one." Jane laughed.
