MONOPOLY IN OPIUM
SOUGHT BY TURKEY
Angora, Unhampered by Treaties,
Plans Coup in Narcotics, League
of Nations Hears.

By Gable to The Star and New York Wirld.
GENEVA, October 10.-The creation
of a government monopoly in the pro-
duction of raw opium which will en-
able Turkey to inherit the worlds
trade is planned by the Angora gov
ernment, according to reports received
by the League of Nations opium de-
partment.
1t is learned that Angora recently
appointed a special government COM
mission under the commissariat Of ag-
riculture which is inspecting the pop
py fields for the purpose of determin-
ing how much the industry can be en-
larged in the vicinity of Alum and
Kara hiSsar.
The commission also arranged a
meeting with opium dealers during
the opium trade, urged the necessity
of promoting export on national
basis The trade commissariat is in
veStigating the proposals, having
promised its active support while the
government has given it's official sane
ton to the newly formed opium deal
ers' association.
1t has developed that during Foreign
Minister Tewfik Bey's three-week visit
to Geneva during the assembly on the
Mosul question, Prince ARIA Ed
Dowles. the Persian envoy, conferred
at length with the Turks, especially
after the decision of the league to
send an investigating committee into
Persia to assist in abolishing the trade.
1t is believed ARIA discussed the pos
sibility of turning over to Turkey the
Persian trade and also arranged for
the employment of some 10000 opium
growers.
In the future Turkey is not to be
bound by either The Hague conven
ton or any treaties.

in EDUCATION

DR.. G. c. Morgan Urges Communion With Child
Rather Than Compulsion-Raps Mass instruction
as Not Conducive to Best Results.

views on education are not mere the
cries. He has brought up four boys
and three girls successfully. SO his
friends say. Many people misunder.
stand the biblical edict: Train up a
child in the way he should GO" They
sit down and map out a course and
try to compel the boy or girl to fol

passage means the way the child
wants to 60" but with proper guid,

we'll as his inclination.
Discipline Secondary.
According to DR.. Morgan, intellect
emotion and will develop normally
when young people reach about the
right age to enter college. No one Of
these attributes is in the background
while they are getting their higher
education or in after life. The dis
ciplinary element becomes secondary.
But in the earlier stages of develop

cipline. IF a child happens to have
one of the few remaining Noah's arks
and starts to lick the paint off Ham or
Shem. he should be restrained" the
clergyman humorously remarked.
Apart from his books, DR.. Morgan is
best known on two continents as n
Bible student. And he applies man.

Much Platinum in Colombia.

Although before the revolution
Russia was the greatest platinum-prp-
ducing country in the world, Colombia
is now one of the greatest producing
centers. Before Russia lost its place
as head of the list, Colombia was sec
ond. In the Transvaal, South Africa
there are also great platinum deposits.
The present contribution of the
United States is less than l 900 ounces
a year, most of this coming from
California. Science has succeeded in
producing platinum from scrap orcS

Snake Fares Well in Japan.

While laborerS were at work in the
grounds of the Imperial Palace in
Toxic. they came across a live snake,
so large that they first believed it
was a log, and started to move it. The
reptile came to life and the workmen
scattered. However, they could have
done nothing anyway, as the court
officials ordered that the crawler not
be needlesly disturbed, and they en-
phatically declared there would be no
snake hunt. The snake, Japanese be-
lieve, is the spirit of the ancient fort
ress that was once on the site where
it was found, and if let alone will
