Independent Narcotic Bureau
Needed to Curb Drug Evil

OME day the powerful nations that control the world

That's a hope Of more less remote future.
But IN THE MEANTIME Congressman Stephen Porter, Of
Pennsylvania SAYS that THIS nation do something NOW
limit DEMAND for dope in the United satesand that
interests vy every mother and father every teacher
every social worker
This nation furnishes large profitable demand for the
dope that other nations willing to supply
Porter introduced into the House Of Rep
reentatves bills that would help cut down the dope de-
rand that would make it much DIFFICULT for dope
neddlers to supply the demand of million addc
that would SAVE from the terrible dope habit millions of
bovs and girls who form the FUTURE MARKET for the
international dope ring.
Porter proposes establishment of indie
penden Federal Narcotic Bureau ADEQUATELY EQUIPPED
to deal with this rising dope In the past the Federal
fight against contraband narcotics has been poorly financed
and therefore weak and altogether inadequate
He proposes in his second bill establish closer super
vision of the soaed Legitimate agencies through which
dope is distributed in this Nation
Under the terms of this bill physicians druggists dentists
manufacturers and others who legally entitled to deal in
narcotics would be licensed and the amount OF narcotics in
which they deal would be rigidly limited.

agencies SUPPOSED to be in effect now But really

ments he witnessed in Boston
in 1746 gripped his interest;
and before long he was expert
menting with some very element
ary electrical instruments sent
to the Philadelphia Library by
Peter Collinson, of London,
Fellow Of the Royal Society.
To Franklin is generally at
tributed the distinction between
two kinds of electricity, positive
and negative. He devoted much
time in company with a small
group of associates, making
trivial and amusing experiments
with electricity. His chief
claim to fame rests upon his
proof that lightning and elec-
tricity are identical. Although
some question has recently been
raised by scientists as to whether
Franklin actually performed
the famous kite experiment, it
is rather generally credited
that Franklin did actually draw
lightning from the clouds, which
ran down the moist cord to
which the kite was attached
and electrified a key. by means
Of which a Leyden jar was
charged.
Although Franklin'S letters to
CollinSon attracted little at
tention when read before the
Royal Society, they won in
slant response when published
in pamphlet form. The savants
Of France were excited by
Franklin'S discoveries, which
were generally credited in
Europe. Everywhere was quoted
the saying Of a French poet,
writing in Latin: "Ie snatched
the lightning from heaven"
Franklint is credited with orig
mating the idea Of protecting
buildings by means of lightning
conductors. He received hon.
orary degrees from Oxford and
st. Andrews universities, and
was made a fellow and awarded
the gold medal of the Royal
Society.

remarked Mrs. Green as she
passed the cigarettes and the
bonbons simultaneously.
"And the less sure you be-

THING" agreed Mrs. Divot,
foolishly reaching for a sweet.
"Once," continued Mrs. Green,
IF you had told me that easy
divorce was not a good whole
some thing, I should have
called you a moron. I believed
in modernism, trial marriage
and a quick and painless sur

Mrs. Divot.

Mrs. Green. But, when I see

"Well, I'm looking at it!
What about it?" asked Mrs
Divot cheerfully.
There's at least one divorce
for every marriage over there,
according to Statistics" stated
Mrs. Green. And the women
are rising to protest bitterly,
at the ease with which the men
junk the old wife for a new

more attractive model. Russia

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis e. Bisch-

CERTAIN habits which we see
~ practised on every hand can
readily be explained as to their
why's and wherefores by looking
into their psychology.
I refer to gum chewing, smok-
ing and candy indulgence.
None OF these are bad pro-
vided it is not overdone and
the body does not happen to
be intolerant to it.
But, Of course, the trouble
with almost everybody is the
tendency to overdo, to exag-
gerate. to chew too much or to
smoke too much or to eat too
much candy.
Should any one Of you be
what we might term a slave"
to any Of these habits it will
help you to know how you came
by them, and you may be able
to cut down your habitual over
indulgence to sane and sensible
proportions because of such
knowledge.
The fundamental reasons for
gum chewing. smoking and
candy eating dates back to ear
hest childhood days.
It dates to days when all of
us were what is termed auto
erotic.
Erotic comes from Eros, the
Greek god of pleasure-hence
autoerotic signifies getting plea
sure ON of oneself.
All infants are autoerotic.
Babies interpret pleasure in
terms Of their own bodies.
If they are properly clothed,
II their bodies are warm and
their inners functioning prop
perly, they feel content and
they COO and smile.
But let them be uncomfort-
able to even the slightest de-
gree and we soon have a diff
ferent story.
In babies, too, touch is very
highly developed-much more
so than any Of the other senses.
What has all this to do with
gum chewing and the rest?
Simply this:
Persons who derive pleasure
from excessive maStication are
displaying a survival Of the
autoerotic stage!
They like to keep things in
their mouths!
Mouth stimulation affords a
source of pleasure.
Other habits, continually prac-
tlced, besides gum chewing are
also autoerotic. Tobacco chew.

candy, the alcohol habit even
any activity that pleaSurably
and repeatedly stimulates the

basic cause.
America seems particularly
prone to gum chewing. The
desire to be in constant motor
excitement may be an ad-
ditional factor in this country.

ONE Of the most famous of
" American scientists was
Benjamin Franklin. Born in
Boston on January II, 17O6,
Franklin quickly developed by
reason of natural shrewdness
and habitual industry into a
successful business man. He
early displayed an interest In
natural phenomena, and was
gifted with acute powers Of OBJ
servation which he employed to
the best advantage throughout
q long and distinguished career.
Franklin is remembered to this
day for one homely invention.
the pennsylvania fireplace"
which is in common use today
under the name of the Frank
lin Stove" He conferred a
great boon upon generations
past and generations still un-
born through the invention of
bifocal SpectacleS. With a mind
incurably inquisitive, he studied
hundreds of questions having
to do with agriculture. hygiene.
medicine, and architecture; and
by his shrewd suggestions an
ticipated many later discoveries.
Franklin contributed many of
his observations to the Junto,
which is supposed to have been
founded in 1927. Out Of this
society came the famous Ameri.
can Philosophical Society, which
owes it's organization in 1743
primarily to Franklin. Many
leading scientists Of the day be-
longed to this Society-one Of
the Is charter members, for ex-
ample, being Thomas Godfrey,
senior, the inventor of the quad
rant. In 1859, Franklin was
made president Of the society
and held this post until his
death on April II, 1890.
Franklin has been Justly
termed the "first illustrious
American inventor" BY his dis.
