NARCOTIC EVIL
CONSIDERED IN

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept 13 Q1
The United States, Germany Japan.
Holland and the other drug manu-
featuring or producing countries,
should lead the way in curtailing the
output of narcotics, in the opinion
of Colonel Daniel w MacCormack,
of Boston, technical adviser Of the
Persian government, as expressed on
behalf of Persia today before the
league of nations social welfare COM
lnittee.
In an address, which was rourdly
applalded. Col MacCormack pointed
out that Persia's offer to curtail
opium production and export 10 per
cent annually for three years rep
resented a real economic sacrifice. but
the only persons to suffer would be
the opium smokers of the orient.
To reach drug addicts Of the western
world other and more stringent
measures We're necessary.
Poppy Juice. Colonel NTacCornack
continued, represented 20 per cent
of Persia's entire export traGe and
10 per cent Of the ornment's
revenue.
He observed that the Indian gov
clTment's decision to curtail opium
exports 10 per cent annually had aid
ed Persia in reaching her decision,

NEGOTIATIONS
TO END COAL
STRIKE FAIL

CHICAGO, Sept. 13 pP) - Negotia-
tions to end the coal strike in illinois
failed today when a joint conference
Of minors and operators adjourned
without reaching an agreement.
Conferences had been IN progress
for a week and for the last few days
negotiations were conducted through
joint committee of two miners and
two operators. The miners offered to
go back to work Immediately on the
Jacksonville agreement while joint
commission of four, two miners and
two operators, investigated the situa-
tion to report not later than next
February l.
A committee of nine appointed yes
'terday by the operators refused to ac-
cept this plan and at a late session
today John L. Lewis, international
president of the mine workers, told
the operators that he had done
everything in his power to bring about
peace.
Ninety per cent of the Illinois mines
are still closed and their miners, num-
bering about $4,000 are idle as result
Of the failure of the conference.

the readiness of this government to be-
gin immediate negotiations with the
United States for commercial agree

The foreign office sent word to the
American embassy that Frances reply

vising the embassy of this decision,
the foreign office said it was well
realized that the urgency Of the ques-
ton necessitated immediate treat
ment.
The new French tariffs, which i'm
pose very high rates on certain Amer

strenuous protests from both French

Scotian land long known as a
graveyard for ships"
Other wreckage has been found at
New Quay, in Cornwall, England. The
Cornwall reports do not include iden-
tification marks. Three of the miss
ing planes had wings each of a diff
ferent shade of yellow but none Of
these three had hoped off on it's
challenge to the Atlantic three weeks
ago.
The wreckage seen by the French
fishermen may have been part of

gesser and Major Coli, which set out
May on flight from Paris to New
York The white Bird as indicated
by its name was all white, the only
relief being skull and cross bones
in black.
Four months in salt water might
have caused some change in the
white wings and fuselage and
might have given an appearance OF
the 'yellowish color" observed by the
finders. Although close examination
should have shown that the original
marking was white and not yellow.
The i'll fated Levasseur plane was
made the object of widespread
search at sea and the wilds of Can
ada we're combed in a hope that the
French airmcn might have been
forced to land in the interior.
The three other missing planes,
the st. Raphael, Old Glory and Sir
John CARING all had yellow or gold
wings although different colors were
applied to the fuselage of each.
The st. Raphael huge Fokker
monoplane, flew away Aug. 81 from
Salisbury plain, England, for Otta-
wa Canada, with a fuselage of sky
blue and bright yellow wings.

Bills have been introduced in the
legislature to abolish the State Immi-
grafton Department. This is one of
the silly acts for which Minnesota
legislatures are famous. It has cost
$4,000 to finance this department
during the past five years and during
that time 9,753 farms have been
gained by the state through activ-
ity of the immigration Department.
These extra farmers thus secured, ac-
cording to figures, have paid into the
state something like $780, 900 in
automobile license fees and over
$500, 900 in real estate and personal
property taxes, during those five
years. Instead of hampering this de-
partment the legislature should thank
Oscar H. Smith and give him few
more dollars to work with. Let's get
more settlers. St. Louis county alone
has room for thousands. While we
have more individual farmers than
any other county in the state. we
have room for the overflow of several
large cities.

Here is a little flash at Duluth's
automobile death statistics that
ought to teach the dullest of us some
thing:
Last August six people We're killed
automobiles in Duluth.
Last September NOBODY was kill
ed by an automobile in Duluth.
Why
Part of the reason why nobody was
killed in September was that so many
were killed in August.
That may seem paradoxical until it
is recalled that two men were arrest
ed, charged with manslaughter, for
two of the August killings.
One of these men went to the pen
itentiary and the other got off.
But the fact that two were arrest
ed for August killings was the direct
cause of September's freedom from
automobile tragedies.
There were as many automobiles
going in September as there were in
August.
But there were no killings in Sept
ember because the consequences of
the August killings made the drivers
more careful.
Drivers were careful in September
because the consequences Of Red
August scared them. So there were

where near this in tax rates and as
we ARE always prey to the bewhisker-

rich agricultural counties wish some
of these things all they have to do is
to pay taxes and get them. With the
average farm listed for sale at $500
and more per acre and $4.00 on the
tax list and some of the counties COW

would not be hard matter TO get
valuations enough to build excellent
