WORLD DRUG DEMAND IS
 INCREASING

BERLIN, .>ec. z9.-A survey by the criminal law reform commis- sion of the Reichstag shows that the use of narcotic drugs in Ger many has increased rapidly in re- cent years. Cases of morphine poi soning occur with alarming fre- quency.
 Experts placed the world de- mand for narcotics at S0,000 pounds yearly, of which Germany exports one fourth.
 To a suggestion to restrict the German production to the home market the objection was raised that only few countries produced alkaloids and there was legiti- mate world demand for narcotics for medical purposes. It was further argued that the German public health ministry now controls |every ounce of narcotics produced in order to ensure it's lawful use and that an embargo on exports might make the manufacture oi drugs in Germany a n-payine proposition.
 Tn e commission nevertheless adopted a resolution to ask the Reichstag to take adequate precau- tions to limit the German produc. ton of narcotics to the require. ments of the medical profession within the Reich.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 29.-Tex Rick ard announces that Young Strib- ling will meet Jack Sharkey about February 26 at Miami Beach and Jack Dempsey will see the fight as a means of deciding whether he will meet the winner.

 Sharkey's manager announced Sharkey has signed Pa Stribling said his son is to go to Miami and begin training January 25 and Jack Dempsey left Salt Lake with Jerry Luvadis, his trainer. yesterday.
 As for Dempsey, Riekard said 1: q do not know Dempsey, Rickard q do not know Demp ey's plans but if he thinks he can whip the winner of the Miami fight, believe he will go into the ring again. If not he prob- ably will stay in retirement"

FATHER SHEERIN
 RETURNS SOUTH


 The Rev. T. Sheerin, who was in Juneau over the Christmas holidays, is a passenger for Seat tie on the steamer North western. As one of the privileges of his church office the Rev. Sheerin came north to assist at the holi- day services here and in Doug las. The Mass of Dawn was said by the visiting priest early Christi mas morning and Christmas Day he went to Douglas and offieiated at the mass there. Father Sheerin is from Port Towsend. Wash.
 Bishop Crimont arrived on the Northwestern from the Westward and it was planned by both he and Father Sheerin to meet be- fore the ship sailed south. This was impossible as the vessel pull ed out after remaining here only one hour and the Bishop was unable to locate Father Sheerin who at the same time was trying to find the Bishop.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29-Traded to Pittsburgh in q deal for Glenn Wright, Jess Petty returns to the manager for whom he won 29 games back in 1924.
 That year Petty pitched for In- dianapolis in the American Asso- citation. His boss was Donie Bush, now manager of the Pirates.
 Petty's seasons record of 20 won and lost placed him along side the leagues greatest hurlers of all time and enabled the h. dians to finish just three games short of the pennant.
 . With the Indians that year was Carmen Hill now one Of Bush s best hurlers at Pittsburgh. Petty went to Brooklyn in 1925 and Hill to Pittsburgh the next year. Their careers have a striking re- semblance in that neither pitched his best baseball until after he had reached thirty. Hill was 2z years old when he won 22 games and lost II for the Pirates in 1927 and Petty was just 30 when he turned in his great year at Indian apolis in 1924.
 Wright for wh o m Brooklyn traded Petty and Infielder Harry Riconda, had played better base. ball than his record. for the last two years would indicate. In 1924 1925 and 1926, Wright rated as one of the leagues best shortstops. He hit better than 300 in 1925 ana 1926 and looked like another Hans Wagner until he ran into field. ing slump which finally cost hin his job as regular.
 Next year probably will decide whether Petty and Wright have 2 future in big league baseball.

AMER. LEAGUE
 BATTING HAS
 HIGH PLANE
Fifty Players Went Through 1928 Season with
 Marks of 300

NEW YORK, Dec 29.-Baa.ing in the American League through out the season of 1928 was on a high plane and the records show that fifty men went through with marks of 300 or better. a large majority of them being regulars who were there in nearly all of the games. Prem start to finish, the strife for batting honors among the regular performers was chiefly among three men, Leon Goose" Goslin of Washington, Heine Man. ush of St. Louis and Lou Gehr.g of New York. This contest went clear up to the last week, when Gehrig fell a few points behind and not until the final day was the winner determined between Cos lin and Manush, the former nosing out ahead with mark of .S79. Manush was next to him. only one point behind and Gehrig was third with .374., .na sz 15ll
 Goslin made his record in 135 games, sore arm making it ne- cessary for him to lay efs for a time during the season. He poled 173 hits in 456 times at bat and among his wallops were 56 'oubles with ten triples and IT home runs. The record of Manush was per haps more impressive because he was in 154 games, making 241 hits in 63S times up and he had AT doubles, 20 triples and .l3 hon. CTS. He was tied with Gehrig for the lead in two baggers the latter also playing 154 games.
 Once more Babe Ruth of the Yankees was prominent with the bat, hitting 54 home runs during the season which is only six be- hind his record of the previous year. He was far ahead of them all in the total runs scored having tailed 163 times during the year. Gehrig was next to him with 139 and Combs of New York was third with 11S runs. In runs bat ted in, Ruth and Gehrlg wound up with a tie for the honor, having driven in 142. Bob Meusel of the Tanks was next to them having batted in 113 runs.
 Because of the heavy hitting, base running was not prominent in the offensive play. The leading base stealer was Charles Myer of the Boston club and he had only 30 stolen bases. Johnny Mostil of Chicago was next with 23 and Har- ry Rice of Detroit was third with 20.
 Batting feats of the season were accomplished by Goslin who hit safely in 25 consecutive games and by Heilmann of Detroit who on July 26 in one game, batted in eight runs.
 The Yankees took the honors in team batting again but on this oc- casion were hard pressed by the Athletics. At the finish the Tanks team average was .296 and the Mack-men's was .295.

MARYE and 'MOM'
= q n
THEIR LETT. rs

Dearest Nom: Here beginneth
Chapter One in the life of your
favorite working girl. After day of
service, I am the same sweet child
I was, and apparently my job is still
good for at least one more day.
Really, Jane and got big wallop
out of the days toll. Had we been
asked to jab a time clock when we
started-promptly at nine-neither
of us would have been surprised.
But such was not the case. A maid
admitted us to a dressing room,
where another one-with a French
accent that was so delightful that
I decided to parlez French if it took
my last brain cell-looked us over
and was quite ready to give us a
manicure, wave, or take any little
stitches we might require.
We were all baited for bear, how
ever, and had attended to every
thing before we arrived, 1 noticed
she did quite a great deal of beauti-
flying to some Of the other models,
who had apparently left home in a
hurry.
She. decided that I am best in
tailored or sports frocks, and that
my goal should be distinguished
simplicity. So she advised me not
to curl my hair, or wear much
makeup-and not to take on a
pound, no matter how tempted I
might feel to indulge myself at
times.
Jane stacked up on the other side
She appears to be an exotic type,
who can wear bizarre styles and
complicated costumes. It seems she
has a certain dramatic quality,
which I lack.
She is to wear her hair pulled
back, a Ia Russo, and to have it
very sleeky brushed and coiled at
the nape Of her neck. She can be
as lavish of her lipStick as she
will.
Two Of the mannequins here are
blends, and there is a red-head
think is marvellous. 1t seems blends
are the most desirable for manne-
quins, for several reasons. First, they
look so we'll in white, pastels, and
the delicate colors. Also they are
natural magnets to men, and it
seems that when women bring men
with them to help select their clothes
the men nearly always choose what
the blond is wearing-quite regard
less of what it happens to be.
There are only these three man
nequins besides ourselves, and they
seem to be very attractive girls. We
take the places of two others who
recently left-one to go into the
Follies, and the other to marry a
millionaire. We have struck the land
Of opportunity.
Work is really good for my con-
stitution. think I'm sold on it.
With fondest love
MARYE.
