There are many helpful hints

ment desires additional information
and advice he il free to call at the
office OF the narcotic division, where
II will be given him gladly"
Few Use Heroin.
Detective Sergeant Edward P.
Dowd Of the local narcotic squad,
in report to Maj. Robert Kaiser,
chief Of detectives, dated June 80,
had this to say relative to the
above:
"As far as dope peddlers in our
city are concerned, we have never
in the past six years come in con-
tact with more than three or four
heroin users. Moat OF the addicts
in this city use morphine and, as a
rule, use cocaine as chaser, it
being their contention that the use
OF cocaine does not form habit,
but Is stimulant to offset the ef-
feet Of morphine
with but one exception, we have
not recovered any heroin and go
per cent of the dope recovered is
morphine and cocaine. SO far all
the dope recovered has been in the
form Of powder and alto cubes
about the size of dice The dope
in powder form is commonly term
ed decks meaning. small pack
age, put up similarly as headache
powders. The term checks re-
ferred ITO in the Sentinel is not used
here to our knowledge.
Opium Chinese Habit.
"As to opium, most Of it is con-
sumed by the Chinese element, and
I would estimate our recoveries on
this amounts to about one-fifth OF
the recoyeries of morphine and CO.
caine. The opium, after being
smoked, that is, what is left of it
i'll the pipe, is scraped out and cook
ed and then smoked again-this
being known as yen che. A great
number of times it is put in pack
ages and sold for so cents a pack
age.
GAS to places of concealment, we
have found it in the tongues of
shoes of addicts; their hat bands,
under the cuffs of shirts, inside
etc. The peddlers, when
we proceed to search them and their
premises, have hid their plant in
the flooring. in joints, great many
times it was found in stove pipes
oil in chimneys. wood sheds, etc. In
fact, any place that may afford con
cealment."

Here he had varied experience,
similar in the main to that of any
range rider, at times thrilling and at
other times dull and drab but he
recalls many of the things of those
years as among the most interesting
of his entire career.
1t was in Sulphur Springs valley
near what are known as Cottonwood
Springs that he saw one of the most
Sanguinary evidences of the terror OF
an Indian raid He came upon the
scene just as group of white people
had completed burying IL victims OF
the ApaclaeS on one of their forayS
That was the nearest to any of the
serious conflicts that he came with a
single exception, and that exception
left mark in his left leg when an
Indian markSman ed him a personal
favor by a bum bit of craftsmanship
although probably not SO intended by
the Indian The Cottonwood Springs
tragedy was the work Of Geronimo's
band.
Meets Jake Scheerer
An acquaintance was formed by
Mayor Hinton then which still persists
1t was while he was working for his
uncle, in fact while he was doing his
freshman course as freighter, that
he met Jacob iScheeref, another OF
the weH-known pioneers of Douglas.
Scheerer was then driving bull team
freighting bullion to the railroad and
coke and supplies to the camp.
Now the scene Shifts. The last
week of December, 1883, young Hin
ton, accompanied by his brother and
a helper, left Globe to become mining
prospectors Their objective was Flor
ence. They got there New Years eve.
They travelled over the present mining
camp of Miami and also where the
Mammoth mine later was opened, but
it was too low grade ore to prove
profitable for them when handling ore
IS it then had to be handled and so
they trudged on From Florence they
went to Casa Grande, then to old
Maricopa and thence to Phoenix.
Arrives at Phoenix
Arrived at Phoenix, Hinton secured
employment on the ranch OF A. L.
Henshaw, father of the present sheriff
of Cochise county, George HenshaW.
That was January, 1884. His task was
setting out an orchard, mostly april
cots and trees of that type. He
worked for Henshaw one year. Then
he went to the employ OF Gregg and
Irwin. grocers, for a time but soon
secured position with fantau and
Keller which soon became Keller's and
he was with this concern for nine
years. finally becoming manager OF
the store, having served all the way
from delivery boy up.
Married in 1888
It was while working for Keller's
that Mayor Hinton made the most
important move of his life- he says.
on Sept. 26, 1888, putting it in the
terms of Will Rogers, comedian, ne
was married to his zone and only
wife" The bride was Miss Emma u
Harbert of Phoenix.
When he quit Keller's he engaged
in business for himself, planting frult
and developing his land that way. He
also operated a store. This he con-
tinued until 1904 when he left Phoenix
and went to Mexico with the Greene
Cananea Copper company, and also

"It is not difficult to trace opium
when II is being used, as ii has a
sweet, sickening odor which can be
detected even on the street If the
addict has not taken the precaution
to plug up the cracks around win
dows and doors OF the room in

addict has been away from dope
for some time and feels In need Of

two pills without closing up the

bowl that is known as yen che. The
addict saves and uses the yen che

the same as IL he were smoking a
pipe of opium Yen che also is
mixed with opium, the adulteration
of the latter making the smoke less
expensive. The use Of yen che en-
ables the addict to cut down on the
amount of opium used and to econ

Chcw or Smoke.
Invariably opium smokers burn
incense in the house to kill the odor
of the drug, but the opium smell
can be scented even through the
other. Another practice Of opium
smokers is to burn a wood fire in
a stove and to allow the smoke
from it to premeate the rooms, but
even this does not prevent ones
smelling the opium.
when the addict purchases gum
opium he puts it in rag and boils
it in pot or pan, the boiling
process being to make pipe opium.
After the drug has been boiled the
addict squeezes the juice from the
rag. The rag is usually saved for
future use and it may be the find
ing of one of these cloths in a house
that will lead to detection of the
opium supply and smoking outfit.
Usually an addict tossesl the rag be-
meath the sink, or into cupboard.
The rag can be identified by the
sticky brown mass contained in It'll
after the boiling.
Some opium addicts chew the
drug, This is the common practice
in the fields of Jhe Orient, where
lddicts labor to be close to their
supply OF drug and to obtain the
same without cost. :. !,

who think that Anita Loos' book, Gen
tlemen Prefer Blondes" is an epic of
the American gold-digger are right,
but those who think it is an indict
ment of her have missed the point en-
tirely. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,
is a great "woman's picture" Every
woman who sees it is going to enjoy
seeing the male characters of the pic
ture yield to the glib, innocent-seem-
ing fiattery of the little defenseless
girl, who has no weapons but her
sharp wits. For it is the utter fool
ishness of the male sex that Miss
Loos ridicules. 1t was there, hidden
sometimes but there nevertheless in
every line of her book Malcolm St.
Clair and his splendid cast got the
same spirit into the picture. Lorelei,
like those famous policemen Of the
north, always gets her man, with her
Interior motive his pocketbook It is
not exaggeration, either. Miss Loos
has simply hit on the fact that most
men are simply waiting around for
some clever little gold-digger to pluck
them. 1t makes no difference what
kind Of man he is-a girl as shrewd
as Lorelei could get him.

Accepts New Plot of Public Lands

The Public Lands Commission in
short meeting at Dover Wednesday
afternoon with Governor Robinson
present, took up the problem of sur
veys of land north of Rehoboth. The
commission was then presented with
and adopted the plot made by Thomas
B. Pepper, surveyor of Sussex County
of the lands lying between Rehoboth
and Henelopen Light House lands, as
substitute for plot made by an
other survey party in 1914, which was
found to be both inaccurate and i'm
perfect. A plot, also made by Mr..
Pepper of lands south of Rehoboth ex-
tending to Indian River Inlet was pre-
sented, but not approved, as there was
some doubt as to the ownership of
two islands in Rehoboth Bay, claimed
to be owned by George H. Townsend.

then the actor should play the role

String ties OF ermine and collars
which extend into pointed yokes in

houses. One model has a little

For wear with these coats there
are dresses which combine black

wool crepe. White erlnine is also
used on black frocks, particularly
in bowknot trimming. Inset bow
