NARCOTIC WEEK
DRIVE OPENS

A drive was launched today by
the World Conference on Narcotic
Education to educate the people of
the United States on the evils OF
narcotics and make them realize
the fearful hold drugs have upon
citizens.
The drive will extend throughout
this week which has been named
Narcotic Education Week. Through
out the week The Washington
Times and associated newspapers
will present facts in regard to drug
use in this country which have been
assembled from the most reliable
sources available.
The World Conference on Mar
cotic Education and the World Mar
Cotic Defense Association have
worked out definite plans for stop
ping the spread of drug addiction
and stamping it out where it has
already spread.
Officers of these two organiZa-
tons, however. realize they are
handicapped by lack of public ap-
probation of the dangers of the
drug evil and have therefore in
augurated this educational week.
The plans for fighting drug addic-
ton include international agreements
to limit crops from which opium
and it's derivatives are made and
the establishment of hospitals in
which addicts will be treated by the
best physicians available.
The opening of the drive was
marked today by the introduction
in Congress by Representative
stephen c. Porter of Pennsylvania,
of bill to establish two United
States narcotic farms for the cure
and treatment Of persons now con-
fined In Federal prisons who are
addicted to the use OF drugs.

 WAR ENGLAND, J. 5.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. (P)-Pres. Coolidge sees no reason why news papers in this or any other country should take seriously the statements by American Naval officers predict ing war between the United States for commercial competitors. He stat ed this when his attention was called to a recent speech made by Rear Admiral Plunkett that the coun- try should know by this time the alarming charge often made when ap- propriations were being sought by Congress. s
 President Coolidge was unable to understand why such a large appro- priation bill as that for the postoffice department can be passed without arousing inflamatory statements, whereas the appropriation bill for the army and navy always bring forth declarations that the country is about to be faced with dire consequences.

 Our attention has just been called to the fact that the editorial mentioned is receiving much wider circulation than that For the Corresponding Secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal church, in his annual report sub-

 When recall the fact that the Methodist Episcopal church has total membership of approximately five and
 quarter millions distributed throughout every state in the Union maintains mission stations in Europe Asia Africa, South America, Mexico Central America, and many of the Islands of the Sea- with member ship of approximately 900000 members and that copy of the Corresponding Secretarys report which is pub lshed in pample form containing 30 pages is sent to every minister in the Methodist church, and to many leading aymen, and to each Mission station in foreign fields it begins to dawn that edtoralis really receiving worldwide circulation.

The opening game of the 1928
world series saw crippled Ruth
crash two, doubles and single,
blasting the ground from beneath
the unfortunate Bill Sherdel, as
clever a southpaw as ever existed.
When every move panied him,
sharp shooting pains dartlng
through his wrenched left knee,
the great Bambino led the attack
against the st. Louis Cards, crush
ing them under the power of his
mighty bat.
With two out in the first inning
Ruth came up. He refused to bite
at the tempting array of slow balls,
stepping back now and then,
though his ailing knee caused him
agony. But when Sherdel thought
to sneak a fast one through, he
laced it into right center and
pulled UP at second base with a
fine slide. A moment later Buster
Lou Gehrig connected for a second
two-bagger and Ruth was over the
plate, putting the Yanks in front.
In the fourth Ruth opened
for the YanIxs. This time he
got another twO-bagger, but to
left center instead of right.
