U.S.|NTERVENES
ITO SAVE PACT
ON DRUGS

The state Department has In.
tervened in an effort to save the
League of Nations antinarcotic
treaty. Universal Service learned
yesterday.
Although the responsibility rests
with the League, the department
has sent polite but firm notes to
world powers urging them to speed
ratification of the pact.
Faced by Failure
The treaty, pledging limitation
Of manufacture of narcotics to the
worlds scientific and medical
needs, faces complete failure be-
cause of lack of sufficient ratifica'
tions.
None OF the manufacturing
countries of Europe. heretofore
the chief source of illicit drugs
entering the United States, has
approved the treaty, signed at
Geneva more than a year ago.
These nations form the backbone
Of the Leagues so-called opium
bloc" dominating Geneva's anti
dope policies.
Only the United States, Persia
and Portugal have ratified. Two
countries, Peru and Nicaragua,
have notified the League Of their
AcceSSionS.
Needs rs Countries
The treaty must be ratified by
Is countries before April 13. 1888,
to become effective on July Is.
These notifications, moreover,
must include any three of the fol-
lowing seven manufacturing cour1-
tries: France, Germany, United
Kingdom, Japan. Holland, Swit1er-
land and Turkey
Unless the notifications are
Forthcoming the treaty will be
thrown into the discard. The
League Council would then have
to decide whether to summon an
other conference.

CITIZENS URGE
SCHOOL THRIFT

District citizens, meeting last
night in the annual conference
with the Board of Education on
the 1884 budget, made economy
requests and urged construction
of only three new buildings.
The new schools requested are
a modern building to replace the
5O-year-old Grant School in West
End Washington. an elementary
school in University Park and
construction OF a vocational
school on property purchased for
the purpose 30 years ago at
Potomac Avenue and Thirteenth

The only other major request
was for the erection of an ath-
4etic stadium for the new Roose-

Save Your Eyes

Seeing is believing"-you have
heard that motto dozens OF times, and
so have l, without thinking how much
is contained in these words. If YOU
can convince the eyes of person, YOU
can pretty surely convince his mind
also. That's why every salesman, who
can, carries a demonstration outfit,
and as soon as he gets his foot inside
the door, starts vacuum-cleaning your
rug or washing your windows or rub
bing off spots, that he carefully pre-
pared on the bottom of a saucepan.
Actions speak louder than words, es-
pecially if you can see them, and these
statesmen that edge themselves inside
your door know it.
Of course, your eyes may lead YOU
astray sometimes. You won't believe
that nature intended rabbits to come
out of hat. But at least you know that
some remarkable tricks can be done
with hats, for your own eyes have
given testiment to that much; and in
fact, the reason that you don't go fur
Their and expect bundles to pop out OF
all headgear, is that your eyes have
not given evidence for it-you have

American Education Week, NOvem-
Der Z to IS. inclusive, will be observ-
ed in all the Montgomery County pub
lie schools. The following letter, de-
scribing the purpose and aims of
American Education Week, has been
sent out by principals of Baltimore
County schools to school patrons:
Educational thinkers of today more
and more appreciate the influence OF
the early frontier on American life
and ideals. On that overwhelming and
shifting boundary that stretched
westward, the first seeds of new de-
mocracy were engendered and the
American ideals of equalitarianism
and humanitarianism took root.
I've honor the men and women who
faced hardships for the ideals they be-
ieved in. It is to them, the founders
of our nation, that the school boys and
girls of America viii pay tribute dur
ing Education Week, 1882.
Monday, November Z, is set aside
for the sturdy of the homes of the
pioneers; Tuesday, November 8, for a
review of their schools; Wednesday
November 8, for the progress made
during the last two centuries in the
New World schools; Thursday, No
vember 10, for the study of the equal
ity of opportunity offered in American
schools; Friday. November II, for a
continued and deeper insight into the
ideals of America in relation to the
educational system; Saturday Novem-
II, to the schools and progressive liv-
ing; and Sunday, November IS, to the
schools and things of the spirit.

furnish the grounds for most Of your

Favorable Health
Condition Means
Lower Death Rate
State Report Shows There We're
923 Fewer Deaths Than
In Previous Year

Reports of the State Department OF
Health for the nine months ending on
September so, show that health condl-
tions as indicated by the general death
rate and the infant death rate have
been unusually favorable during the
current year. There were 1923
deaths reported 1928 fewer than were
period of 1881. Of the total during the
current year, 1888 occurred in Balti-
more City, and 1908 in the counties.
There were fewer births reported than
during the corresponding period of
1931-22,2S7 in comparison with 49,
1873 during the first nine months of
1881, but there were fewer infant
reported during the corresponding
deaths in proportion to the number of
births, 1856 infant deaths being re-
ported in comparison with 1918 in
1881. Of the infant deaths reported
during the current year, $50 occurred
in Baltimore City, and S26 in the
counties. During the corresponding
period of 1881. 767 infant deaths were
reported from Baltimore City and 951
from the counties. Of the total births
reported during the current year, TO-
1923 occurred in Baltimore City and
II ,459 in the counties.
In pointing out the significance of
some of the figures, DIR. r. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health said: "Two of the yardsticks
used in measuring the health of a
community are the general death rate
and the death rate of infants. Both
rates have reached unusually low
levels this year. The general death
rate for the entire State for the last
five years has ranged from 1872 to
1876 in every thousand of the popula-
ton. The general death rate for the
entire State for the nine months end
ing September 80, was 1875 in every
thousand of the population,-the low
est figure we have ever been able to
reach for the entire State. The rate
for the corresponding period of last
year was 1874.
"The infant death rate for this first
nine months of the current year was
65.2 in comparison with TIA of the
corresponding period of last year. This
means that during the current year
there were 65 deaths under one year
to every thousand live births, and that
last year, there were n infant deaths
to every thousand live births"
The records show that there were
3,159 deaths from heart disease in
comparison with 1920 during the cor
responding period of last year, 1900
of pneumonia in comparison with 1919
during the first nine months of 1881;
1161 of tuberculosis in comparison
with 1922 in 1881; 995 from diseases
of the digestive syste min comparison
with HOG in 1881; and LOG maternal
deaths in comparison with 141 during
the corresponding period of 1881. Two
of the leading causes of death which
showed an increase were cancer and
diabetes. There were 143S deaths from
cancer in comparison with 1883 last
year, and 800 from diabetes in COM
parison with 274 last year.
The deaths from heart disease,
nephritis, cancer, cerebal hemorrhage,
pneumonia, tuberculosis and diabetes,
reached a total of 1884 and consti-
tuted two thirds of the total deaths
from all causes and in all age groups.

Those that doubt the Importance Of
protection for American labor and in
dustry might muse on these facts:
General Electric closed its big lamp
works in Buffalo the other day and
six hundred men were automatically
out of work.
This happened because American
wages cannot compete with cheap pro-
duction of certain kinds of electric
light bulbs in Japan.
This year United States citizens will
buy and use 100000 lamps made
with the cheapest labor in foreign
countries, principally Japan. At least
fifteen hundred American workers will
lose their Jobs. In addition to the loss
Of labor there Is the loss OF warehous-
ing. distributing, selling.
People that buy cheap bulbs pay
more, in reality. because they use

do domestic lamps. This extra expense
amounts to about eleven million dol
lars Q year.
There is more in the tariff than
mere politics.
