MILLION DOLLARS WORTH IF OPIUM
 OV DOLLAR LINER
STEAMSHIP COMAPNY LIABLE TO FINE $25 EACH OUNCE
 UNDER THE LAW

NEW YORK, Oct, 4, (P)-A cus- toms agent with only one eye but with keen sense of smell led his colleagues to a cache of 16,OOO ounces of opium concealed in the anchor chain locker aboard the Dollar Line steamer President Harrison.
 The opium was in 2,665 tins and valued at $1,0OO,0Oo, and was seiz- ed when the liner docked after a tour around the world.
 Agent Edward Starage, who lost an eye in a government raid years ago, smelled the opium under the anchor winch and 90 fathoms of chain was ordered run out before the drug was revealed. The search was begun when it was noticed that 130 Chinese were among the crew. Under the law the steam ship company is liable to fine of $25 for each ounce.

BLUE MONDAY IS DRIVEN FROM TOWN
South Carolina Textile Center
 Solves Problem

Greenwood. S. c, May 15.IPl- The traditional blue Monday" with odors or soap ana steaming laundry pots, has been abolished in two tex tile mill villages by James C. Self, cotton manufacturer.
 He believes that lifting women from drudgery is one of the needs ot the changing problem of labor and has installed plant laundres $ which deliver wet wash" free of charge to all families employed in his two large cotton mills.
 The more labor we eliminate for the women in the home" Self says, the better able they become to ill their places in the manufacturing scheme, not only where they are en- ployed in the mill. but where they must look after the needs of large families so employed or attending the mill schools"
 Self further believes in tho ador- ton by textile manufacturers of 1 the most modern machinery for health promotion An automatic humidlflcation system in all his plants maintains regularity of hu- mldlty and temperature in place Of the ehang"ahle temperature, dust and disease laden air Of the old days.

ways corporation does not predict in the absence Of more complete ob- Servation.
 No fresh goods or livestock are handled on the barges, although large quantities of grain and other produce that will keep in transit are handled. It is explained that move ment is too slow for products sub lect to spoilage, and that the harges do not have the necessary equip ment for transporting livestock.
 Following a personal inspection of the line. Secretary Dwight Davis Of the war department said avenues of cheaper transportation will en- able the farmer to compete with South America for the eXportation of corn and with Canada for the ex- portatlon of wheat. Likewise, he said, thousands will have the advantage ot cheaper coal and coke, steel pro- ducts and other commodities.
 Factory products from the region served by the line will reach every community west Of the Mississippi at greatly reduced freight rates. the war secretary said, and farmers of the west and northwest will find an additional means of distributing their products for consumption, east of the Mississippi.
 While the entire industry of the middle west will benefit from the reduced rates of this service on both raw materials and manufa ctured articles Davis continued. ''it is natural that in this agricultural re- zion they should prove Of especial advantage to the farmers"

EXPECTED

DETROIT. Aug. 1.-The passing
OF Jack Hayes, who left Chicago last
niaht to join the Minneapolis club
of the American Association on an
option of "a hours, makes 1t all the
more certain that the Washlngf n
club will benefit later in the year
by picking a player from the Mill
ers. He will probably be Spencer
Harris. the outfielder, who is now
| making great furore in the asso-
citation.
Hoe Engel, WashingtOn's scout.
Hikes LislEa, right handed pitcher,
And Harris, center fielder. Pres.
ident Griffith has seen them
both. What he thinks Of either
or both is not known yet, but
the mere fact that Hayes has
Joined the MIXERS means that
suitable arrangements have been
made by the Washington club
for either I4islka or Harris, or
both to be delivered at = later
date.
Hayes paid his farewell to the
gang last night before the Griffs
left for this city. He is popular
with the players on the team and
ne was given lot of bunk advice
which he will be wise enough to
forget. However. Hayes wants to
play ball regularly, something i'm
possible with the Griffs, and so he
was satisfied to join the Millers.
The passing of Hayes leaves the
Griffs with Reeves as the lone in
field reserve player. The conclusion
to be drawn from this is that Presi-
dent Griffith is already planning 20
have one or two new players report
for trial inside Of the next few
weeks.
