WORLDS FIGHT
 i AGAINST DRUG 1 TRAFFIC OPENS
Fifty.0ne Countries, With United States Included, Are Convened at League of Nations Session

Geneva, May 27-(UP)--The civ- ilized worlds fight on the drug traffic-one of the greatest of in- ternational ''rackets'-will be taken up at a conference of delegates from 51 countries, converting here to-day.
 The United States has taken par ticular interest in this phase of the activities of the League of Nations, under whose auspices the barley was called. and is represented by delegation headed by John K. Caldwell. of the American consular service.
 The other American delegates in- clude Harry J. Anslinger, commis- sioner of narcotics; Dr Walter Lewis Treadway, assistant surgeon general and chief of the division of mental hygiene in Washington; and Sanborn Young, a state senator from California.
 The conference was called in the most extensive effort yet made to bring together the nations of the world to consider ways and means for the limitation of the manufac- ture of narcotic drugs to an amount deemed necessary only for medical and scientific needs.
 The United States, it has been conceded, is the only country that has successfully limited the pro- duction of narcotics within it's boundaries to an amount sufficient for it's own legitimate needs. The American system of limitation of manufacture, delegates intimated, may be the basis of plan which the other nations will seek to adopt.

MILLIONS VISIT
 NATIONAL PARKS

Washington.-The national parks and forests set a new record in 1880 by accommodating nearly 3D. 000,000 visitors, it was announced by the Forest Service. The actual figuress on the count of persons visiting national forests were 31,004,- 515, which was almost 150,000 more than in the previous year.
 Nearly all of the 151 forests where the count was made showed some increase in the total num- Der, but a decrease was mani fested in the number of guests at hotels and resorts. The increase was due chiefly, the Forest Ser vice report said, to a large in- crease in the number of campers and picnickers which showed a 300,000 gain over the 1929 figures.
 California Leads.
 The state of California still leads the country with more than 16,000,000 visitors to the national forests located there and the White Mountain Natoinal Forest of New Hampshire leads the East with almost 100000 visitors an nually.
 With new roads and trails i'm proved public camps and picnic grounds increasing the accessi- bility of the forests, the Forest Service expects markedly mo- gain this year in attend ance at the country's playgrounds.

instructions given him by the in spector.
 In court this morning when the case was called, Inspector Carlin, addressed Judge John k. McGrath and stated that while he was not opposed to a continuance, he wished it understood that he was tired of being given the well known run around". T bet I have burned up 10 gallons of gasoline trying to catch up to this man." remarked the popular inspector" and am just sick of trying to have him obey the law"
 Prosecuting Attorney Mitchell G. Meyers interrupted to say that he had called Statkns about fifteen times in an effort to force show down." So it was decided that Statkus must appear Friday. Just to make sure that he would be in- terested in the latest developments Judge McGrath ordered the proper ty bond of $500 posted by Anna Chepulis of 228 Alder street, called. The case will be reopened Friday if he appears, if not, an effort will be made to collect the bond.
 Statkus was given several chances within the past month to borrow $241 to pay back wages to an em- ploye. The final edict was leash or jail". He paid.
 The latest charge concerns stat kus' attempt to build house near Chase Parkway. The foundation comes to. within six feet of the side walk, which necessitates the posting Eofa . bond of ,000 as protection for the public against accidents.
 There has been some tie-up in the plans and 1t has been suggested to Statkue to fill in the present exca- vation and wait until a more favor- able time for construction.
 Statkus, however, not only has failed to obtain the official permit, but persists in carrying out his plans. Inspector Carlin after burning up the gas," started to burn up himself, so he decided that 1t was time for the police and court authorities to step into the picture.

NOT TRADE SCHOOL

The Bliss Electrical School
is neither a trade school nor q
college. It is a special tech
nical school, concentrating
upon engineering essentials
and giving the student a max
irnum training in a minimum
time Men are, not only
taught the underlying princi-
pies of electrical apparatus but
they receive in the laborator-
les under similar conditions to
those found in industry, the
practical applications which fix
the principles in their minds
and prepare them for the
work they must do after-grad-
uation.
Men come to the Bliss Elec-
trical School each year from
almost every State in the
Union and from many for
eign countries. More than g.
600 graduates Of this institu-
tion are found scattered all
over the civilized world.

BLISS SCHOOL

The plan of combining prac.
tical instruction with theory
prevails at the Bliss Electrical
School. The underlying prin
cipleS of electrical apparatus
are first taught, by means of
lectures, supplemented by
charts and, wherever possible,
by apparatus in actual opera
ton. These lectures, supple
mented by the study Of text
books, reviews and conferences,
bring out every detail of the
subjects discussed.
Theory is closely followed by
practice. In the drafting de-
partment the student learns
the principles Of engineering
drawing with special reference
to electrical work, while the
solution Of electrical problems
in connection with both direct
and alternating current appa-
ratus is taken up in the math-
ernaticS department.

to give them the educational
background for advancement
to executive or professional
responsibilities.
The instruction at Benja-
min Franklin combines the
practical with the theoretical.

careful revision and research
extending over 26 years, and
teaching procedures have been
evolved which economic the
