OUR DAILY NEWS LETTER

Peiping, (UP)--In its long, losing fight against the opium habit, China now finds itself in the grip of heroin, deadly derivative of the dreamy drug which for so many decades has curs- ed this country.
 General Pao Yu-lin, director of public safety in Peiping. admits that a tremendous illicit traffic in heroin Is now being conducted here and that thousands are heroin addicts.
 In recent weeks there have been several customs seizures of large consignments of heroin on board in- coming foreign steamers; but the traffic is well organized and heroin has followed opium and morphine beyond the port cities into the in- terior of the country.
 Shansi province is said to be par ticularly afflicted and 1t is reported that the small railroad Junction of Shihchiachwang, with popula- ton of 3O,000 inhabitants. con sumes $1,2O0 (silver) worth of heroin daily.
 The Union church, supported by English speaking Protestants. both foreign and Chinese, announces that all the money required for building is now subscribed and the church is out of debt.
 The project for building the new edifice was decided upon eight years ago and since that time SOL ,0O0 (silver) has been raised. Part of this sum includes dona- tions from England and the United States. but most of it was raised In China.

 "If there is worse act in the world. we haven't seen it.-Naw York Times"
 He got his job. Within a few months he was on the big time. And there's a moral to aspiring per- formers tn this brief tale.
 When Libby Holman, now one of tle heavy favorites of the Who's Who. arrived from Cincinnati look ing for chorus girls job she was told by the casting director that she wasn't sufficiently good looking. that she was too big-"and your voice is terrible"
 That wasn't exactly encouragins And yet rke same terrible voice now earns her something like $3.O0O a week. She took a job with one of the little unprofessional revues to get sart and walked right out of it into prominence. Her father-a wealthy :awyer-had tried to dis courage her, and compromise was reached when she agreed to get d college degree before taking a fiing at the stage. The family believed that the degree would cause her to change her mind. But degree, and all, she arrived in the big town to win a place.
 She had a Ford coupe, with a HVeried chauffeur which attracted some little attention. She likes to smoke, but allows herself but one cigaret a week because she fears the effect upon her voice. She co,- lects Pennell etchings and rides horseback in Central Park almost daily.

[. A Land of Glaciers and Gcyscrs.


 This week we shall have another set of island puzzles. By the time the series is over, you ought to have a fairly good knowledge of the worlds great islands.
 Before you cut out the pieces of to-day's island see whether you can guess it's name from the following hints:--
 It is located in the North Atlan- tic. about 500 miles north of Scot land.
 Eighty-five per cent of the land is not fit for people to live on. It is a home of glaciers, vol canoes, lava deserts, boiling mud springs, geyses and snowfields. More than 100 volcanoes have been found on the island-some are active and have caused heavy loss of life.

 SPEECH FROM GALLONS

Marion, Va - Southwest Virgin ians believe that as far as unique campaign speeches go, Fayette Me- Mullin, Southwestern politician for 50 years. in the half century from 1890 to 1880. takes first prize.
 Near Marion a man was about to be hanged for murder. On the morning of the public hanging, 10.- 900 men gathered to watch the event. McMullin. as friend of the sheriff. occupied a place on the platform in the rear of the gfallows
 When everything was ready. the sheriff asked the condemned man if he had anything to say. The prisoner said he had not. Where upon, McMullin stepped forward, rubbing his hands, and remarked, MT Sheriff. if the gentleman will yield his time to me will em- brace the occasion and make a few remarks on the political situa- ton and to announce myself can didate for congress"

Legislature has passed a concurrent resolution asking for statehood. The committee on Territories of the House will give the proponents an opportunity to be heard if a bill providing for admission as a State is introduced. I am convinced that supervision of the administrator of all territorial and insular pos seasons should be consolidated in one executive department. At the present time, the supervision is scattered through various offices, the administration hindered by beauracracy, red tape multiplied. A consolidated bill will be introduced at the next session."

 Now that Chairman Scott Lea witt, of Montana, and other mem bers of the House committee on In dian Affairs, visited Alaska during the present summer, Delegate Wick ersham has sought to induce Chair man Lynn J.

There is still hope that this may be accomplished altho there is some doubt about it, as recent letter received from Senator Frazier, now in North Dakota, says:
 T appreciate your interest in the Indians of Alaska and assure you that I will be glad to do any, thing I can to help I doubt whether it will be possible for the sub-com- mittee to make the trip as far north as Juneau this Fall. trust. however, that some legislation will be enacted by the next session to help your Indians"
