ANOTHER "CONTEST" DI L.
 IN THE SENATE

Thn Senate is preparing to in dulgo in another "contcs;" over the confirmation of cabinet official. This timo tlc fight" will be against Charles F. Warren of Michigan, nominated by President Coolidge 10 be attorney general to succeed liar Ian F. Stone.
 After the manner in which the flight" against confirmation of Mr, Stone flzzled, we have scant cNpecta- tions of any other result in tho case of MT. Warren. The Senate ma; as well pass it's time in wrestling with crossword puzzles.
 Mr. Warren is objected 10 be- cause he has been affiliated with Michigan sugar companies. 1Ie had been an officer of the Michigan Sugar Company and held arg shares of stocI, in that corporation in trust for the Havcmcycr interests of New York, according to his toSti- mony before ihe lIardwick sugar in ycstigation committee scvcrll years ago. Since his nomination for at tornny general however, dispatches from Michigan state that Mr War ron has withdrawn from all par ticipation with the sugar compani"s. From this it appears he expects 10 become attorney general.
 After the Senate has gone through inc regulation verbal rumpus ike vote is expected 10 give the ioo 10 Mr. Warren by about il 10 1o - which is giving the opposition fine benefit of more strength than it probably has.

 Morphine. cocaine and hcroin ara
 white powders. all soluble in watss and bitter to the taste, In the eass- ern section of tho United States the use of heroin predomnates. When
 turing victims the pedder often calls hcroin "hcadache powder" These pcddlcrs are at large in all the bis cities and in many of the small ones, IL Is their custom to give away heroin free to a youth until he or she Is "hooked." Then a new customer has been developed, Tho narcotic poison, penetrating Inc upper brain, lnflicts deep and swift inJdry upon Hrts that are the most tender which have de- Nelopcd latest in human eyolution- ary progress and distinguish the man from the brute. X hcroin yic- tim usually turns into a brute loses sclr-respect honor, ambition and probily Morality dlsintegrates. Sc- curing of the drug is the owerpow- cring effort of his life. and lying, stealing, robbery and muder follow in the wake of such a ruined life.
 Two of the most pronounced an- tisocial traits of the heroin addict arc; An "eXataton of the ego" looking upon himself as q hero who will dare anything. The daylight hold-ups, robberies and murders committed by these criminal heroin aklicts eclipses in daring all the ex- ploitS of Jesse James and his gang" says one expert. This is also true of cocaine addicts.
 The second pronounced trait is q mania 10 induce others to become addiCts. He thinks, dreams and plots ways to bring others into his spiders web of ultimate doom.
 A general characteristic is se- crctiycness, so that friends and family sometimes are unaware of the addict for months and years.
 Dr. Amos o. Squire, chief physi- clan of Sing Sing prison. said That drug addiction is on the increase there is no doubt in my mind. From 1918 10 1922 there was an increase of 900 percent in the number of drug addicts admitted in Sing Sing prison, There has been a radical in- crease since 1919."
 John w. H. Grim, assistant at torncy general of the United States, said: Narcotic addiction is unques- tionably increasing, About 40 per cent of the prisoners we are send | ing 10 the penitentiaries at Atlanta, Leayenworth and McNeil Island this term of court are addicts,"
 Estimates of the number of mar cotic addicts in the United States vary from 20o,OOO to 100000, these figures being made in the 19l8-19 survey of the L. s. Treasury department. Dr. Carleton Simon, special deputy police commissioner of New York City, estimated that only 5S ounces of heroin were law fully prescribed by physicians in New York City the last r months, ! but that during that time 76,000 | ounces were consumed. From one ounce 2,oo0 young addicts can be created. The mind is appalled, when considering the heroin problem.
 A good dcal of crime has been blamed upon the war. IL would l seem that much of it is directly | blameablc upon the devastating in- crease in the use of narcotic drugs.

Necks By Kid Boots


 If it wasent for your neck you couldent look in back of you with out terning all the ways erround or else bending all the ways down and looking through your legs, wich might be fun for a vile but after a vile would proberly seem like too much werk. Of all parts of your body your neck is the leest fun to wash, the ony verse thing being having some- body else wash it for you.
 Meny animals have longer necks than human beings, especially snakes. Meny men with extcr long necks wear eXter short collars.
 A stiff neck is the most paneful kind and besides it makes you wawk erround as if you thawt you owned the werld and people think you are stuck up, thus adding in- suit to injury.

must, before driving or operat
ing any motor vehicle on any
highway of this State, apply for
and take out permit so to do;
provided, however that no minor
under the age of eighteen years
without special permit shall be
permitted to drive or operate a
motor vehicle on any highway
of this State"
