The bout, Max Schmeling vs Mickey Walker, has been agreed upon for several several weeks but upon for several weeks but the Garden has been unable to name a site, agreeable to both sides.
 Miami Doesn't Want It.
 Miami, Fla, Is the latest spot abandoned as a possible site. Com missioner Louis K. MacReynolds, MiamPs one-man boxing commis- sion turned thumbs down on the contest.
 The Garden previously had eliIn- mated Los Angeles, which limits decision flights to 10 rounds and no-decision bouts to 12-rounds.
 Previous experiences have made President W. F. Carey Wary of taking Garden promotions to out side territory and an indoor match at Madison Square Garden in New York or Boston now appears to be the only prospect.
 Schmeling is under suspension in New York for his refusal to box Jack Sharkey.

PONIES CONCLUDE SEASON SUNDAY
 AGAINST NAUCY
Valley Rivals Clash in ThOmastOn in Return Game-Leary to Show With Rubber TOwners
Especial to The Dcmocrat)

Thomaston, Dec 3.-The Ponies football team of this town will trot around the gridiron for the last time on Sunday afternoon with All-Naugatuck furnishing opposi- ton in a return contest. The tussle, originally arranged for last Sunday afternoon, was postponed until the coming Sabbath because of in- element weather.
 Interest Keen
 Much interest is being manifest ed in the second battle between the Ponies and Naugatuck. In the first contest between the two clubs, staged on the local grounds, the borough gridsters sprang a sur prise by scoring an 80 victory over the tribe coached by Fay Vincent. As the season progressed the de- feat at the hands of Naugatuck proved to be the lone setback on the Thomaston schedule and in spite of the lone drubbing, the Ponies continued on through to annex the state semil-pro cham pionship, the honor which came their way by virtue of conquering the Triangles of New Haven, so in a game on Thanksgiving day.
 After Revenge
 It is the aim of the Ponies to get revenge for the beating given them earlier in the season by Nau- gatuck, and the local eleven is go- ing to take the field Sunday de- termined to roll up decisive mar gin of victory in order to wipe out the other game's score.
 Naugatuck will bring n strength ened team to Thomaston for the game with Schwartz, a well known bali lugger, Hines, formerly of the New Haven Triangles and Beans Leary of New Haven are sched- uled to appear in the Rubber town teams lineup.

100000 Drug Addicts in the u. S.

United States. The United States
uses more narcotics for medicinal
purposes than any other country,
the figures being approximately 245
milligrams of morphine per capita
as compared with 152 milligrams per
capita for Europe; 8 for Asia, and
2415 for Africa.
1t has been suggested that Amer
leans are more sensitive to pain
than people of other countries, or
else that American physicians are
more inclined to prescribe narcotics.
Much of the drug addiction seems
to be associated with the smuggling
Of drugs in the United States, which
has extensive borders difficult to
patrol.
The symptoms following with
drawal of drugs from addicts in
clude usually abdominal pain,
twitching, difficulty in breathing,
and in sleeping, and mental depres-
sion.
The height of the withdrawal
symptoms is between 48 and Y
hours following the last dose of the
drug taken.

Battery of Ovens

THE ovens are arranged side by
4 side in the modern plants in
batteries ranging from 5 to 100
ovens. Each oven is built of brick
and is about forty feet long and
twelve feet high.
It is very narrow, however, hav-
ing width OF only fourteen inches.
The ovens are heated with gas, the
flames passing along the sides of
the ovens in f1ues, thus keeping a
uniform temperature in the ovens.
1t takes twelve hours to turn the
coal into coke.
Each ton Of coal yields the fol-
lowing products: $500 pounds of
coke, 1850 cubic feet of gas. f24
gallons Of tar, twenty-five pounds
OF ammonium sulphate, four gallons
of light oils.
The gas produced is used in part
TO supply the gas needed for oper-
atlng the ovens, but in addition
there is a surplus of gas which can
be utilized for other purposes.
The tar can be distilled to pro-
duce light distillate, creosote. ard

The light oils are benzines. which
yield many valuable products of
great use in the dye industry and
other industries. Among them are
pure benzol, toluol, xylol, naphtha
and naphtalene.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

addiction is ease of access to the
drug.
The causes of addiction are eli
vided into: First, previous use of
drugs in medical treatment; Sec
ond, treatment for relief of
pain; third, recourse during emo
tional strain; fourth, influence of
other addicts, both in the COM
munity and in prison; fifth, for the
sake of curiosity, thrill, or bravado.
Addiction is more readily induced
in some people than in others. In
general, it is believed that the most
important predisposing cause is an
inherent mental or nervous insta-
bility.
Addiction may be induced, how
ever, by injudicious use Of drugs in
people apparently free from any
nervous or mental instability
Conversely, such people may be
freed of their addiction by proper
treatment without likelihood Of
relapse, whereas those with nervous
instability are likely to relapse
promptly when under stress.
