ALARM OVER DRUG TRAFFIC EXPRESSED
By FIORELLo II. LAGUARDIA

AVN
Fiorello II. LaGuardia was born in Nav york
City. Dec. II, 1882. He was graduated in law from
New York university. From 1901 to 1904 he was
with the American consulate in Austria. An inter
prefer at Ellis Island, for three years, he began
practicing Law in New York City in 1910, where he,
was elected deputy attorney general for two years.
he was elected TO congress in 1915 and has served
continuously since. except for a period OF two
years. In 1919 he was elected president of the
board Of aldermen, New York City. He served a.
a commander in the u. S. air service in 1917, and
was stationed on the Italian 'front.'.
IL Is apparent that the US. Of habit-forminz drugs
Is increasing to an alarming degree all over
the country. This Is especially true in large cities.
Police reports. court records and hospital statistic,
prove beyond doubt the alarming increase in the m.
lawful importations OF narcotics now has reached m
amount to be nothing short Of national scandal.
The margin Of profit in this unlawful traffic Is So
great that the total amount reaches several million
dollars every year. Taking q conservative estimate Of
various statements made by police departments, Gus
toms and government and state officials, the value o.
drugs unlawfully imported during the past six months
has been estimated at between s25.000.o 900 and s4o,-
100000. There is such q variance as to the estimate of
the number of addcts and such discrepancy as to the
extent Of actual control Of this traffic that an imme.
date survey is imperative.
The amount of raw opium permitted to be import
ed has increased from s7-343 pounds in 1924 to 14o,17a
pounds in 1928, and it is conceded that this is only a
small fraction Of the amount Of actual manufactured
drugs unlawflly imported every year. While it is true
that congress has authorized two farms for the care
and treatment Of drug addiets, the big constructive
thing before this country today is to prevent and wipe
out the unlawful traffic in narcotics and habit-form.
ing drugs. It seems Ridiculous to provide means OF
cure without taking drastic steps to prevent the ur
lawful sale Of drugs responsible for Grating addicts
thereby supervising the root Of this evil

Into it some eight hun dred people were crowded for the Rhetorical Contest. Chill dren from the city school were present, also pupils from the Sheldon Jackson School as well as all from the Bureau of Edu- cation School. All these as we'll as the delegates and visit ors from the seventeen cities and towns of Southeastern Alas ka, listened with rapt atten- tion to each representative speaker. Nothing before of this nature had ever been tried. Ev- cry one was delighted with the clear and forceful delivery ot the selections, and all were in complete agreement with the decision of the judges.
 It is the plan to continue the An nual Rhetorical Contests Teachers will have more incen- tive to secure accurate and free use of the English language ir each daily class period. They will also have an incentive fol the closing exercises of the school year with an exhibition of pupils in oral delivery who have made definite progress during the school year.

| ou1 l1lS5 UAAI ONAAOOA yS%A VI 1927-28 notice was given to all principal teachers in Southeast l ern Alaska to stress oral English in their classes. They were ask ed to hold local elimination rhetorical contest at the close | ot school last April. All teach CTS complied. The local cham pion was to represent his school at the District Contest to be held at the time of the Annual Brotherhood Convention. The reason Sitka was chosen for the contest was that the pupils se- lected to represent their schools would have free transportation 1 to the Convention with the de- legates of the Brotherhood and Sisterhood. In former years, District Contests, of whatever nature, have been most difficult to hold because of the difficulty in transporting the contestants to some central meeting place, but now, since each village has it's local Brotherhood and Sis terhood Camps, the problem is solved.
 The Brotherhood has taken a real interest in promoting local contests. Some of them have offered prizes for the best local speaker at the end of the school year. The results have shown a great improvement in the clear and correct English used in and about the schools. This is the goal desired.
 ] Ten schools sent delegates to Sitka to contest for the District prizes. They were as follows: Haines, Elsie Perrin, Hoonah, Haines, Elsie Perrin;
 Hoonah, Vivian Shakely.
 Hydaburg, Daisy Skillie.
 Juneau, Frank See.
 Rake, Samuel K. Grant.

 The Grand Camp of the Alas ka Native Brotherhood selected the judges, who were Dr. James H. Conditt, Rev. Webster, both of Sitka and Mrs. William L. Paul, Ketchikan. These judges were directed to consider three points only, which were based on the International Oratoric- al Contest Rules: First, the per- sonal appearance and com manding platform presence of speaker; second, the correct enunciation and expression of the English Language: and

rain, they empty themselves upon the
earth: and if the tree fall toward the
south, or toward the north, in the

THE FORD MOTOR STANDS TEST
Makes a Record Over in Switzerland
and the Region Of Alps

An official test of the Model A Ford
motor in Switzerland, with the Alps
as the proving ground, has demon
strated that the new Ford could be
operated for long, continuous period
over abrupt, steep hills, without lift
ing the hood Reports Of the test have
just been received by the Ford Motor
Company The Ford motor was kept
running for a period of six days and
during virtually all Of that time the
car was enroute over the Alpine pass
es, a relief taking over the operation
while the driver rested. Day and night
the test continued. No attempt was
made for distance or speed, the sole
object being to determine the relia-
bility and power of the automobile
The fact that the trip was made when
roads and climate conditions in the
mountains were bad is cited as furth-
er evidence of the stability of the
Ford car. A strictly standard Model
A Ford with Tudor body was used.
Zurich was the starting point. The
hood Of the car was sealed officially
by representative Of the township.
Two persons occupied the car, the
driver and his relief. Passing thru
Lucerne and the GrimseI Pass, the car
took the Furka Pass at an altitude Of
2.431 meters. then the st. Gothard

SUNoCO GAS, KNOCKLEsS FUEL
Expert Engineers of Company De-
veIop a Power With Rating

=
Given before the modern. highly
efficient motor with its high compress
sion head had been manufactured to
any great degree" says Mr.. Elwood
Bartlett, local dealer of Sun Oil Com
pany, "a few of the refners including
my company, had ready new motor
fuel for this new type motor. 1t is
now comparatively easy to find these
knockless fuels. Some are made with
ethyl fluid, others are made with ben
zol These two products are added to
ordinary gasoline. The resultant com
pound answers admirably the re quis-
ties demanded by these new high
compression motors. The Sun Oil
Company engineers, however" con-
tinued Mr.. Bartlett, discovered a
modern method of giving to the pure
petroleum product the same knockless
qualities Of the compounds. Blue
Sunoco is not only the modern fuel,
but its method Of preparation is per-
haps one of the most important con-
tributions made by the Sun Oil Com
pany. It's color which is obtained by
the addition Of a microscopic amount
Of harmless dye, has nothing to do
with its power or its knockless rating.
1t is merely used to identify the prod
uct."

examined by the official who first
placed them on the hood and were

motor ran constantly from the time
the car was tarted in Zurich until the

Lincoln was a fair marh shooter.
according to 85-year- William G..

quaintance with the Great Emanci-
pator on the 10th anniversary of
Lincoln's birth.
Memories of Lincoln also were re-
called here by Mrs. Clara. j. Childs.
SO, who saw him three times and
who considered him the homeliest
man she ever SaW-"much uglier
than my father"
Slemmons recalled the day sew
enty-six years ago in Paris, Ill,
when he and group of other g.
year-old boys were "knuckIing
down" near the schoolhouse.
Along came a big tall man who
stood for a while watching us"
Slemmons said today. "Pretty soon
he said:
" Boys, I'd like to have hand in
this game. Wen play partners
Then the awkward but very dig
nifled Lincoln got down on his
knees and began shooting. Every
time he made good shot he
chuckled to himself and his eyes
twinkled, Slenmons said.
IF we'd been playing for keeps,
siX-foot Abe would have won all
the marbles in the game. But when
the game was over he gave us back
our marbles and went on his way"

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-Three teams
Michigan, Purdue and Wiscon-
sin - stood out today as possible
winners Of this years Big Ten
basketball championship. The three
went into a tie for the conference
lead when Northwestern, enigma Of
this years race, won from the I'M
defeated Michigan team-24 to 23-
Monday night.
The defeat dropped the Wolver-
ines to a Recommendations
lost standing, the same mark held
by both Purdue and Wisconsin.
Northwestern won by last-minute
drive, almost as the final gun
sounded.
Michigan led Is to Il at the half
The Wildcats scored two field goals
at the start Of the second period.
From then on until the final three
minutes the lead see-sawed.
With three minutes to CO.. Mich
lgan TOOK a three-polnt lead and
tried to stall for time, but with little
over a minute to go, Russell Berg
herm, center, was fouled. He tossed
in both free throws and a moment
later took a pass from Gleighmann
and scored a basket.
In the other conference game
Monday night, Illinois went up
notch in the standings by defeating
Minnesota, 1892.
The three-way tie for the lead
may go into next week as the lead
ers do not meet each other in Sat
urday's games. Purdue probably has
the hardest job on it's hands Satur-
day. The Boilernakers come to
Northwestern and the kind Of bas-
ketbsll the Wildcats are playing will
make trouble for any team. Stand
