salesman when the girl returned and
announced that the "chief" was moi

tore your card up" was the tactless
reply.
"You go tell him that that was my

The girl again retreated into the
inner office.

the president. Here give him a nick

When the nickel was proffered the
salesman, not in the least daunted,
reached into his pocket, found an
other card and gave it to the girl.
Tell him they are cheaper than
that; they are two for a nickel"
For the third time the girl went
into the Office and delivered her mes

here" The "fool" did and before be

Women Urged
to Help in
Drug Fights
CLUBS AND PARENT-TEACHE
ASSOCIATIONS URGED TO HELP
EDUCATE PUBLIC AGAINST
S DANGERS TO CHILDREN.

Mrs. Willard Bayliss of Chisholm,
chairman Of the Division of Public
Welfare of the, Minnesota Federation
of Women's clubs, urges the club
women to give some consideration to
of narcotics, especially such drugs as
morphine and cocaine.
The club women are urged to learn
just what laws there are in the sta
tutes of this state for the control of
the sale of narcotics. Are the adj
diets sent to Jail, hospital or an in
sane asylum If they are sent to
jails, are there separate cells to
which the addicts are committed !?
Do the committees on health, child
welfare, industrial and social con-
ditions realize what cocaine and NOR
phine are doing in the schools, fac
tories and hospitals? Do the COM
mittees on Americanization know that
many peddlers in this country are
foreigners who have come here for the
sole purpose of smuggling and ped
ding drugs?
The committee on International Re-
lations of the General Federation
state that narcotic control is at pres
ent as important and as far-reaching
problem as debt refunding or repa-
ration.
As a part of the present program
of economy in the matter of public
expenditures the club women are urg-
ed to make a study of the court re-
cords to see just what it costs the
state to arrest, prosecute and care
for the drug addicts. The remedy
which Mrs. H. E. Maltby, northwest
regional chairman of narcotics of the
General Federation, suggests is edu.
| cation. Speakers on the subject may
be secured by the women's clubs OF
the parent-teachers' associations.

Francis I. Jones. director, reports
on Indiana:
"The outlook in this State for 1925
from an industrial and employment
angle is very promising. There is
every indication that the demand for
skilled laobr viii be greater than
in 1924. and that unskilled labor will
be well employed. It is believed that
the building program will exceed
that of 1924 and resident tradesmen
should be steadily engaged. The State
highway commission is arranging an
extensive program for the coming
year covering construction of roads
and bridges.
Indiana farmers are more opti-
nistic than at this time a year ago,
and increased prices for farm prod
ucts have inspired them to plan
greater activities for the new year.
which viii mean steadier employ
ment for farm workers. Coal mining
in Indiana is very quiet, and there
are no prospects for any noticeable
Improvement in this industry"

A Letter From the Heart of an
Indiana Social Worker

Editor True Story"-Dear Sir:
am assistant matron in a school for delinquent
girls In a small Indiana town ard each evening we
have an hour of reading for the inmates, from seven
until eight o'clock. Ihave always tried to pick out the
best literature obtainable for them, that which is
uplifting to their poor lives. A week ago / pw-
chased a copy of the True Story" Magazine with
no intention of letting these girls read il. It was
the first one / have ever read and / have no words
with which to explain my surprise at the value of
this book. A lot of people make evil of it but let me
tell you how much / think of il, how much trust /
put into this magazine.
Tonight just three quarters of an hour agoI took
this book into the girls dofmitory and / told them /
wanted to read them a story. / turned to the one
in the September issue entitled rE1er Birthright !" the
two thousand dollar prize winner, by the way, and
Dread il. through word for word. AS / read the arms
of one of the girls nearest me went around my neck,
and felt her body shudder. There were sobs through
the little audience, and when / had finished all
wanted 70 talk at once, so | told them ! wanted
each one of them, there being sixteen in number, to
tell me what they thought of the story. One of them
