ARMS ISSUE RAISED
IN OPIUM PARLEY
Unlicensed Importations of
Guns Into China Causes
Lively Discussion.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, February 10.-The un-
licensed importation of arms into China
was thrown suddenly into the interna-
tonal opium conference and Immediately
caused lively discussion.
The Finnish delegation introduced a
resolution putting the conference on rec
ORD as being convinced that the re-
crudescence of the growth of opium in
the Far East is one OF the most serious
elements of the worlds drug problem,
and largely due to the unfortunate
political conditions prevailing in the
large territories Of eastern Asia which,
in turn. are largely due to the un-
licensed importation OF arms into the
Far East.
Would Refer Matter to League
The Finnish resolution then asked
that the council of the League of Ma
tions consider the advisability of put
ting this aspect of the traffic in arms
on the agenda Of the international con-
Terence for the control of the arms traf-
fic which is to be held in Geneva in
May. The United States will participate
in this conference.
The Finnish plenipotentiary, in
supporting the resolution said that
both Alfred SEE, the Chinese dele
gate, and Stephen G. Porter, repre-
senting the United States and now.
'unhappily, absent" had appealed to
the conference to help China. He
believes that this resolution was a
good way to help that far eastern
country. He argued that Chinese civil
wars were responsible for a heavy
production OF opium, because the
leaders of the warning elements en-
couraged opium growing in order to
obtain additional money for the pur-
chase of arms So the only thing to
do, the speaker said, was to pre-
vent the Illicit arms traffic.
Combatcd by Japan.
Japan, through Delegate Sugimura,
Immediately combated the resolution
by declaring it was too vague. He re-
minded the conference that Japan is
a part of the Far East and was en-
gagged in no Illicit traffic In arms and
had no internal political disorders.
BE more precise and say what you
mean" Mr.. Sugimara said. He re-
ferred to the arms accord concern
ing China which was reached at the
Washington conference and insisted
that Japan was loyalty living up to
her special agreement with Great
Britain and France to hinder the i'm
portation of arms into certain coun-
tries, including China. He admitted
that the control of arms smuggling
into China was not as effective as
II might be, but doubted IL 1t were
heavy.

THIS COP WRITES HYMNS

Howard L. Turner, plain, unpre-
tentious policeman, whose numer-
GUS hymn books, filled with the most
beautiful of his many sacred songs,
express sincerest devotion to every
spiritual feeling. Though the world
knows practically nothing about him
as a man, his old revival and mis-
sionary hymns have been heard at
the very outposts of civilization.
Hymns have been defined as
praise to God with song,'" he said
in an interview. while 1 have writ
ten hundreds of songs and several
books, have never claimed that my
work has any particular standing at
the court of the muses. OF course 1
did not write them with any such
idea in mind, but simply as the out
let of my feelings.
"And if 1 have been the means of
a Christian life happier
through my songs, then feel have
been amply repaid. I've never tried
to commercialize my hymns, nor
seek honors for my own self. Very
few Of my hymns ever have been ev-
en- copyrighted. "-Everybody's Mag |

If before the crossword puzzle

supply a word in four letters mean
ing pirate" you would probably
have hesitated only long enough to
decide whether "Kidd' was spelled
with one d or two. For Kidd" and

two centuries and more, or ever
since the day when there marched
along the London waterfront two
men bearing on high a silver oar in
token that the Kings justice was
about to be meted out to a captain
of ships.
Behind the bearers of the silver
oar walked the unluckiest man who
ever lived, and already on the streets
the ballad mongers were shouting
the songs that were to lay the foun-
datiOn of great lie; a lie that was
to grow more circumstantial with
the years and was to have such vi
tality that doubtless you who read

of seacoast sand and heard the tale
that somewhere in the waste a part

threw the locomotive from the rails
and it pulled the coal car and two
freight cars after it. The engine top
pied over when it struck the en-
bankment at the side of the road.
Conductor Noah Day was in
charge of the train and he and other
members of the crew were riding in
the caboose at the end of the train.
When it suddenly stopped they
thought the air hose on the brake
system had burst and they gathered
up the tools with which to fix the
break and started along the line OF
cars looking for the cause of the
delay. They were dumbfounded when
they came to the overturned engine
with the crushed body of Hastings
under it.
Wrecking crews were called from
Delmar and Harrington, but the
crews worked until 10:30 o'clock
Sunday morning before the tracks
were cleared of the debris and the
engine righted.
Engineer Hastings is survived by
q wife and one child. His funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon at his
home in Harrington. He had been

POULTRY SELECTION
DEMONSTRATIONS
continued from first page)


1:3O o'clock, on the farm of W. v.
Cosden. three miles southwest of
Dover on the west road from Dover
to Wyoming.
It is very important at this sea-
son of the year that every poultry
raiser pay strict attention to the
type of birds he expects to keep
over the winter. For that reason
those promoting the meetings hope
that as many pOultrymen as poss1-
bly, can arrange to attend these dem
onstrations will be present to hear
Mr.. Palmer discuss in detail the es-
sential points to consider in select
ing those hens that are to be used
for breeding purposes next spring.
Care and attention exercised IN
selecting the breeding stock in the
fall of the year will greatly reduce
the need of culling the flock the fol-
lowing summer, for the more thrift
ty and productive the hens are that
are being kept over the winter
months in the laying houses the
stronger and healthier will be those
chicks that are hatched from these
eggs in the spring.
The purpose of these field demon
strations, therefore, will be to show
to the poultry raisers how to select |
their best birds with a view to i'm
proving their focks and thereby !
placing the poultry industry in gen.
eral on a more profitable basis. All |
farmers and their wives in the cOun-
ty are being given a special invita-
ton to attend these demonstrations
which will be of benefit to them

try raisers or keep a small flock in

No other common man in all his
tory has ever been such a figure of
romance as was Kidd. A simple New
York merchant and shipmaster, he
was by the strangest train of cir
cumstances to become the central
figure in conspiracy which involv-
ed some of the biggest figures of the
old and the new worlds, including
His Majesty, the King.
The truth about Kidd, the honest
merchant, is a far stranger and
more romantic tale than the most
gorgeous lie about Kidd, the pirate.
