ITALY To TAKE

Action for Monopoly Soon

ROME. Aug. II (U.SO.-Italy

ratify the anti-narcotics conven-
ton signed at Geneva in July by
half the nations of the world,
including the United States.
On the advice of Senator
Stefani Cavazzoni, chief Italian
delegate, machinery today is be.

Vention.
Aside from urging early ratifi.
cation, Cavazzoni, the leader. of
the antelope forces at Geneva,
recommended that Italy put into
effect the system of government
monopoly of drug manufacture
and distribution. The Leagues
convention did not go that far,
but that has not stopped Italy
from adopting more progressive
viewpoint.
Monopoly Urged
Government monopoly is re.
garded as the surest method to
smash the dope rings. Proponents
declare it would mean the end of
overproduction of drugs, which
now are manufactured by private
factories in amounts vastly exces-
Sive of medical requirements.
Tt is the excess of these fac
tories. located chiefly in Turkey,
France, Germany, Great Britain,
Holland and Switzerland, which
supplies the thousands Of dope ad-

Based on scientific research,
italy is convinced that narcotics
no longer are essential in medi-
cal treatment as has been here

insistence, italian experts will

Up on information from st. Johns
College that tuition scholarship to
that school was vacant, beginning
with the year 1881, this scholarship
was ordered advertised, returns to
be made to the Board at its meeting
on July l4th.
The Board then discussed the
matter of the State policy concern
ing small high schools. A letter on
this subject from the State Depart
ment of Education stated: THAT
no small high school would be
authorized, and from the result OBJ
tanned from investigations concern
ing small high schools, it knew that
these small high schools were even
more inefficient. than the one-teacher
elementary school.
The resignation of Miss Veanetta
Mower was received and accepted.
The meeting then adjourned.

How depressed silver prices result
in general industrial depression is
illustrated by present conditions in
China.
China deals with the United States
on the basis of the silver standard.
But now that metal is worth about
40 per cent less than it was worth a
few years ago. AS a result, China
can no longer buy from us in the
same, quantities as before, and so is
establishing factories of her own to
produce goods that once came from
the United States.
The silver problem is of vital in
terest to the entire world. There
are many authorities who believe the
United States would be well repaid
if it took the lead in any sound plan
for re-establishing a fair relation be-
tween the value of silver and gold.

SAFETY RESTS WITH THE
INDIVIDUAL

During 1880, insurance companies
paid out $500, 600, 900 as a result of
automobile accidents, only little
less than was paid out for fire loss.
The automobile death toll of 1900
was about 1000 more than were kill
ed in industrial accidents.
In both waste of life and cost to
the public, casualty insurance rates
are a direct reflection of accident
statistics; carelessly and Incompetent
ly handled automobiles constitute
one Of our formost problems.
At one time it was believed that
the ends of safety could be advanced
by improved roads, cars and the like.
But experience has given this theory
a sad blow. It is not uncommon for
some new and important develop
ment, such as four-wheel brakes,
better tires, or lower center of
gravity in a car, to result in more
accidents due to the public overrat-
ing the new safety factor. For the
same reason removing hazards from
a strech of highway will sometimes
result in more accidents occurring
there as result of more careless
driving.
Now safety authorities recognize
that the most important factors are
not roads and automobiles, but the
driver and the pedestrian. They
must absorb the Safety idea" if any
I definite progress in automobile acct
dent prevention is to be made. The
difficulties in spreading this idea are
obvious; at present about 10000, 0OC
people drive the $1,000, 600 cars in
this country.
So the problem comes down to
this, a sense of responsibility on the
part of the individual motorist and
pedestrian. Users of the streets
and highways have it in their power
to make those streets and highways
safe, no one else can do it for them.

AS President Hoover recently
pointed out, tax reduction must be a
vital element in any program for in
dustrial and economic sterilization.
This is not to say that high taxes
alone were responsible for the world
wide depression. Many divergent
forces were to blame. But it is
almost automatic that employment
and business cannot return to normal
if they are burdened with stagger-
ing and constantly growing weight
of taxation.
It is unfortunate that in times of
stress, many foolish, although we'll
meant, panaceas are offered and
sometimes are tried. All of them,
in one way or another, cost the
people money, and sometimes, for a
single experiment, the cost goes into
hundreds of millions. The inevitable
result is higher taxes. Thus the
ostensible cure for depression be-
comes a barrier in the path of
prosperity.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD DRUG
STORE

Did you ever count up the number
of prescriptions you have had filled
within a year at your neighborhood
drug store? That is what the Bureau
of Food and Drugs of the State De-
partment Of Health has done in con-
nection with recent surveys of the
retail drug stores of the State, with
particular reference to the law which
will not permit any but licensed
pharmacists persons who have had
special training and who have gradu-
ated from accredited professional
schools put up the prescriptions
ordered by physicians.
Here are some of the findings OF
the surveys as reported to the State
Board of Health, by DIR. Robert L.
Swain, Deputy Food and Drug Com
missioner of the State Department
of Health:
First, as to the pharmacists: The
total number of registered phar-
macists in Maryland is 1900, two
thirds of whom are employed in drug
stores in Baltimore City and one
third in the counties. The total
number of retail drug stores in the
State is 667; of which 452 are in Bal
timore City and 215 in the counties.
The total number of stores from
which reports were received was
618 of which 418 were in Baltimore
City and 200 in the counties.
Second, as to prescriptions: The
total number of prescriptions com.
pounded in the stores from which
reports were filed, for the year end
ing December 81, 1880, was 2,717,-
us, of which 2,O25, 685 were filled
in Baltimore City and 692, 900 in the
counties. Basing the total filled in
lall Of the stores on these figures, il
is estimated that 3,347, 226 prescrip-
tons were filled during the year, OF
an average of 2 per person in the
State, or-considering Baltimore
City and the counties, separately of
i per person in Baltimore City and
ITO per person in the counties.
Of the total of 2, 428, 722 prescrip-
tons put up in the retail drug stores
in Baltimore City 1,738,518 were
new prescriptions and $50, 2O4 were
refilled. Of the total of 913, 246 filled
in the counties, 6O6, AL were new
and BOG, 8O5 were refilled.
The average number of prescrip-
tons put up in the year by each
store was 4,846 for each of the stores
in Baltimore City and 3,461 for each
store in the counties. In proportion
to population there is one drug store
to each 1871 of the population in
Baltimore City, and one to each 8, :
S45 of the population in the counties.
"The study is the first of the sort
undertaken in this country. In
developing the plan, the Maryland
Bureau of Food and Drugs had the
advice of the U. S. Bureau of the
Census. The information collected, "
DR.. Swain said in presenting the
report, "show the significance and
importance of the drug stores Of
the State"
At the request of the Bureau Of
the Census, similar studies are to be
made by the the State authorities in
Florida, Indiana and Washington.

MASTER FARM HOME
MAKERS
Cecil County Wins Two OF The
Three Awards In The State

Cecil County Wins Two Of The
Three Awards In The State
For outstanding service to their
homes, their families and their COM
munities three Maryland farm women
will receive the title of Master Farm
Homemaker in a public ceremony in
conjunction with the Ninth Annual
Rural Women's Short Course, to be
held at the University of Maryland,
June Is to 20. The recognition
cermony will take place Thursday,
June 10. The award, which is spon-
sored by the Farmers Wife, a
national farm women's magazine,
will be given this year for the fourth
time in this State.
The women to be honored are.
Mrs. Albert F. Graham and Mrs.
Mary ]. Dinsmore, Cecil county, and
Mrs. A. M. Rencher, Wicomico
county. AS in preceding years the
women were first nominated by five
of their neighbors and question
naire, comprising five hundred ques-
tons, was submitted for each.
While the homes of the three
women are not model ones, they are
as near being SO as the circumstances
of the owners permit. One is equip
ped with both electricity and running
water, another has electricity but no
running water, and the third has
neither of these conveniences.
To become masters in their pro-
fession these women had no easy
task and Mrs. Dinsmore in particular
had unusual obstacles to overcome.
Her husband died eight years ago,
leaving a family Of twelve, the
youngest being only year old and
the oldest 26. College educations
are being planned for the youngest
members. although those forced to
quit school have prospered in the
business world. Mrs. Dinsmore is a
member of fourteen different organ
izations and holds prominent offices
in seven of them,
Mrs. Rencher has four sons and
four daughters, the youngest seven
and the oldest "a years old. One
graduated from Collegel lnd:is teach
ing, two others graduated from high
school this year, one will graduate in
1888 and four others are still in
grade school. Because hers is a
small fruit and vegetable farm, Mrs.
Rencher prepares these products for
the market during the summer in
addition to her household duties.
Besides this she finds time to be
President of the Homemakers' Club
and County Houe Economics Exten-
sion Club. She is also Secretary of
the Ladies' Aid.
Mrs. Graham is President of the
Homemakers' Club in her community
and is prominent in church affairs.
She is superintendent of the Cradle
Roll and Vice-President Of the
Epworth League. Mrs. Graham is
the mother of three children, 6 to Is
years of age. She and Mr.. Graham
have what she calls zone pocket
partnership" and consult each other
in affairs of business and in planning
for the children.

SAN JUAN ID REOPEN
 kETCHIKAN OFFICE

Returning from 8 business trip
 to Seattle, Jack Molaca has re- opened offices in Ketchikan as a buyer for the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company. He is in the market for king salmon and will
 buy halibut aS usual when the sea- son begins, says the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 MT. Molaca has taken the offices in the Ketchikan cold storage build ing formerly occupied by the Booth Fisheries.
 There is every reason to believe that spring and summer sales of hanbut will show an improvement, " said MT. Molaca. At the present time, the dealers, fishermen and boat owners are faced with the same situation which confronts the farmers and every other class. Hal ibut is now being sold in Boston
 for 10 and Il cents a pound whole sale. Every one familiar with fish ing knows dealers cannot make any
 money at that price. But one ad- :! vantage of the low price Is the fact
 that the present stock of frozen
 fish is moving. Business men ev-
 erywhere are sacrificing old stock
 in the hope of getting profits from
 new stocks. It Is part of the read
 justu1ent plan"
