By DR.. CARLTON SIMON.

Alcohol and drug addiction are sep
arate problems. Only in one way do
they both resemble each other. The
drug user who becomes a victim
through vice, springs from the same
soil as does the average drunkard.
This breeding soil is the mental I'M
stable types. the unstable emotional
classes, the morally or mentally weak
groups. There is this difference, how
ever. that d man may be a moderate
drinker all his life and never be a
drunkard or a chronic inebriate, but
he who takes narcotics, even for
a short time. becomes a confirmed add
dict.
In spite of Increased legal control
and law enlargement, narcotic addic-
ton still remains a problem that con
fronts civilization.
International agreement in the linn
itation of the growth of narcotic plants
and their distribution may within 10
or 20 years largely solve the problem
vet before that time methods may be
used that will have greater influence.
The great mass of drug addicts in
the United States are confirmed drug
slaves of many years standing. Most
of these have tried to be cured. many
of them have been forced to secure a
cure for their atfiiction and they have
all failed to find relief. Only compar-
atiVely few escape from the maelstrom
of their bondage. No cure has been
discovered that acts without the help
of the addict. The drug has entered
into every recess Of their being They
continue to cling to their drug. the

people
The narcotics whose influence has
undermined their Will, their nervous
system and their general physical
body, have created a condition which
they cannot resist. Their very dreams
are 2 nightmare of suffering and in
cesSant demand.
The great work TO be done lies in
the discovery OF an antidote. a cure
for the demand of the drug, a cure in
which the will of the addict has no
connection Another solution lies in
the discovery Of substitute narcotic
that will have no habit forming quail
ties.
The discovery OF an absolute cure
belongs to the realm of medicine. The
chemist is at present working toward
producing drugs that are not habit
forming and also trying to remove the
habit-forming qualities in those mar

Alcohol is manufactured normally
from the food we eat and therefore is

CowPuncher and Big Cattle Ranches
OF Former Years Are Passing in West

The cowboy and the large cattle
ranch. long typical of the great west
ern empire" are rapidly passing into
the limbo of extinction.
According to the California Develop
ment Association in this State alone
ranches have increased in number
from 972 in 1850 to $40 in 1920,
True. huge ranches remain to this
day. One holding in California COM
prises 100000 acres. But the dirt
farmer is crowding back the cow
rancher, water development makes
possible intensive cultivation and high
land prices make less profitable cow
raising.
But today there is no American
frontier Rather there are two from
tiers, pushing west from Kansas and
east from California, Oregon and
Washington. No longer does the West
have the political significance of old.
Cattlemen often find themselves in
difficult positions. They have travelled
so long in single deep rut that they
have difficulty reconciling themselves
to cabbageS and chickens. Such jobs
as these are for women.
The motion pictures have drawn
many "punchers" from the ranches,
and the rest would like to see their
face on celluloid. Those who can't
get a job on a movie lot sun them
selves at railway stations, ranchers
say, and their employers look about
for new help.
Ranchers say labor problems are
just setting in with them. as the
cotton-raiser has had his troubles with
seasonal help.
OF the Western States, Nevada
probably will be the last to fall before
the subdivider. Oregon and Wash
ington offer more to small home
steaders than any Western State eX-
cept populous California.
Along with higher land prices has
come a changed diet. When beef was
lust beginning to bring a good price.
America suddenly began to eat

London Going West.

London is following great American
cities like New York and Chicago. in a
tumultuous struggle to expand and
get breathing space for its business
districts. And in London the prob
lem is pressingly acute. The whole
city is wriggling to free itself from
archaic bonds, particularly the
cramped quarters near the Bank of
England, where inches are worth
thousands. AS result. many of the
old city firms are barking defiance at
tradition and going westward-to the
West End district of shops and
hotels and theaters. A new business

sibilities Of a decade.

School for Cypsies.

What is believed to be the first
gypsy school in England was opened
for the children Of itinerant gypsies
who make Surrey their parade
ground, SO that when mother and
father are on the road the children
may still go to school. The building
is in sections and portable.
If the gypsy population leaves the
neighborhood the school can be taken
along. 1t was opened with great cere-
mony, several thousand gypsies being
in attendance. But the children were
diffident and had to be cajoled into
the classrooms by games.

Linking the World
Together With Type

Linking the world together, par
ticularly the business world, by
means Of type is the province Of a
newly created body called the Inter-
national Topographic Council.
No attempt is being made looking
to the adoption of a universal lam
guage, but steps have been success
fully taken that mean the use Of
recognized standard faces of types
in the principal countries of the
world. The members Of this Interna-
tional Council are: Edward E. Bart
lett of New York, chairman, and
Harry l.. Gage, New York for the
United States and Canada; George
w. Jones, London, for Great Britain
and Ireland; Georges Draeger, Paris,
for France and Belgium; D. Stempel,
Frankfurt am main, for Germany
and Raffaello Bertrieri, Milan, for
Italy.
This council has been created by
the Mergenthaler Linotype company
with view to the adoption of type
faces that will reflect the spirit of the
different countries, the best thought
in art and designing so far as type
Is concerned.
In producing new styles of type
or rather the renaissance of old
forms-exhaustive studies have been
made in the countries of Europe so
that only authentic examples will be
used. In this way, type for book
work. job printing and general adver-
ltising will enjoy higher plane Of ar
tistic merit than has ever before been
the case.

are to be congratulated on the
marked interest which has been cre-

attained. Through the efforts OF
these two progressive banks the
school children of the city have been
able to express their own individual

forceful posters are the result.
