before is indicated in the music
study course, as outlined by Miss
Ruth B. Hill, Marion county super
visor of music, and four township
music supervisors.
Music is given directed attention
in the rural schools this year,
whereas formerly it has been left
to local instructors. This is the first
year the county has had music
supervisor.
First topic in the study outline
is: "Cultivating love for good
music"
Aim of the county organization
is to have music daily in the first
six grades, not less than twice a
week in the seventh and eighth
grades and to have music recog-
nized as a basic subject in high
school.

possible removal or transfer OF
Charles Britt, deputy administrator,
looms, it was learned today.
This will be the second shift IN
six months. In the last switch,
John wilkey, then administrator,
was removed and the personnel of
the department changed.
All major cases presented to the
federal grand jury, which was re-
cessed a week ago, were made by
men from the special agents de-
partment, not by Britt's department,
records show.
And this is in spite Of the fact
that Britt'S own force of dry sleuthS
was increased several months ago
from eleven to twenty-one.
Slapped by Grand Jury
Indirect rebuke was administered
to Britt and his deputies when the
grand jury refused to indict ap-
proximately sixty persons arrested
on liquor violation charges by the
agents.
These included cases in which
agents were said to have bought
two or three rounds of drinks, but
had no evidence to present, except
testimony of the actual purchase.
Raids after sales Melted nothing
in many cases, and in others only
two or three bottles of home brew
or half-pint of liquor were seized

The
Chief
Tire
Changer
Speaking

The Chief Tire Changer is in re-
ceipt of letter of wonderful in
spiration from a patient at Sum
nyside. Here is young man, in
the flower of his life, stricken
down by the white plague, who
refuses to be beaten. Thanks to
his indomitable spirit and to Sun
nyside, he is coming back and
when he steps across the threshold
there will be a faithful wife and
an adoring baby waiting for him.
SunnySide is living inspiration
for the fellow down on his luck
or the chronic complainer who
has his health. Take a trip out
there some Sunday. It's better
sermon on humanity than you
can get from any pulpit.
Live each day as though it were
your last. Do nothing that might
give you cause for regret if you
should pass on tonight.
When you patronize an independ-
ent store you know that in case
of adjustment you can go direct
ly to the owner. Chain store
managers are mere puppets OPP
Grating through strings pulled by
the higher-ups in some far-off
city.
Chain store operators rarely permit
managers to stay in a town over
year. Established homes or
community ties mean nothing to
them. In one instance a former
chain store manager had just
established his home when he re-
ceived wire to move on to an
other city.
We get just as much fun Watching
the progress of expansion as kids
do with a new toy. There is
something extremely fascinating
in seeing brick, steel, wood and
mortar take form and order and
a structure that you've planned
and dreamed about rise out of
chaos. Perhaps man was ever
thuS-dreamer and builder.
While we dislike to think about it
winter will be coming along one
of these days. Cold days are not
conducive to pleasant driving.
May we show you our line of new
Arvin heaters. Lots of luxurious
warmth almost Immediately. Sold,
of course, on our convenient
budget or charge plan.
Batteries, too, should now be given
attention. Our new Battery De-
partment is the last word in
"clinics" for sick or rundown bat
teries. Come in and let us dag
nose your battery cease" There's
no obligation.

The movement for the abolition OF

was immensely speeded up by the Great
War and has continued since, until to-
day We find a broad belt across two
continents. from Kamschatka to the
Spanish Peninsula, from the Arctic
Ocean to the Himalayas, which has
been swept bare of crowns and thrones.
The casualties to European monarch
les between the outbreak of the Great

married. as follows: On August 4. 1912,
there were 81 sovereign rulers in Eu-
rope. BY April Is, 1881, this number
had been reduced to IA.
In addition to those IA remaining
sovereign rulers of Europe, kings and

Of any consideration of strategy and

The drys will have-or at least readily

as certain as that Mr.. Raskob and the

Raskob and his majority can write the
wet plank. But the drys, with their
third. can prevent the naming Of wet
presidential nominee.
Under this condition the chief reason
for thinking Chairman Raskob will have
his way Is that his side is working, is
arranging TO have wet delegates come to
the convention, whereas the drys are
doing nothing equivalent to that. Mr..

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

w YORD has just reached
n Washington from authentic
wv quarters that the Chinese
government is seriously con-
Sidering the establishment
of an opium monopoly. In effect sucn
action would be tantamount to the
legalizing, under official supervision, OF
a traffic which in the United States
is looked upon as criminal and which
Americans for years have been trying
to suppress in China itself.
The presence in China this Spring
of two executive officials of the League
Of Nations, a Frenchman and Pole,
and of a distinguished Engllshman,
Sir Arthur Salter, who recently re-
signed as director of the economic and
finance section of the League, has
given rise TO the impression that
Geneva is supporting the idea OF a
Chinese opium monopoly. II it Is, the
Leagues apparent motive is belief
that the opium traffic would be better
regulated under such circumstances.
Restriction of the international traffic
in narcotics 10 legitimate purposes is
one Of the Leagues main programs. In
a few weeks there will be held at
Geneva another international confer
ence for limitation of narcotic drugs.
Question to Be Aired.
The whole question OF government
monopolies will be aired on that oc-
casion.
Nationalist China, this writer is in
formed. is weighing the pros and cons
of an opium monopoly for two reasons,
first, to control the traffic, and, sec
ondly, to derive for the Chinese treas
ury revenue now going into the pock-
cts Of opium bootleggers, both foreign
and domestic. Existing prohibitory
laws are about as effective in prevent
ing Illicit use of the drug as liquor
prohibition is in the United States.
Bootlegging is rampant and universal.
Huge fortunes are being made out OF
the trafflc. India, Persia, Turkey,
Greece, Jugoslavia and the Dutch East
Indies are said to be cleaning up"
Handsomely and, of course, Chinese
growers of poppy as well. The Chinese
government does not believe it can
suppress opium smoking and the at
tendant evils, but it thinks matters
would be no worse-and might be
much better-if strict supervision Of
the traffic is taken over by the ma
tional authorities.
The financial aspect Of monopoly,
the Chimes freely admit, enters con-
