Pharmacists Score
Use of the Term
Drug Addicts'

A substitute for the expression
drug addict" is being sought by
the members of the pharma-
ceutical profession and the drug
trade who feel that the indiS-
criminate use Of the word
drug" in this connection is a
reflection on an honorable pro-
feSsion and tends to degrade it
in the minds of many lay per-
sons, says the Modern Hospl-
tai.
It urges the use of the words
narcotic" or dope" when refer
ence is being made to narcotic
addictS or dope peddlers.
AS defined in the national
food and drugs act. drug is an
article used for the purpose of
curing, mitigating. or preventing
disease.

CH|LLUN GROUP
ASKS $4,000

Charging that Congress author
lied an extension of New Hamp-
shire Avenue in 1918 and that
owners of abutting properties
have since paid $52,995 to the
District for benefits they have
not received, the Chillum Heights
Citizens Association are seeking
a $4,000 appropriation.
Members Of the association
will request a House District Ap-
preparations subcommittee to con-
slider expenditure of that amount
in 1884 for extending New Hamp-

The item, which was stricken
from the 1888 budget, was omit

FOUND DYING,
BELIEVED SHOT
BY ACCIDENT
Luther Pannett, 55, Discov-
cred in Basement; Fall Likely,
Say Police Probing Case

WINCHESTER, Va, Dec. 21.-
Frederick County Sheriff Luther
Pannett, 55, was dying here to-
day from a bullet wound re.
ceived in the local Jail.
While no one witnessed the
shot and Sheriff Pannett has not
regained consciousness, it was
presumed that the wound was
accidently inflicted.
Found Near Stairs
The sheriff was found lying un-
conscious at the foot of the base
ment stairs by his wife and her
brother, Deputy Sheriff Robert
De Haven. His pistol lay on the
steps and a flashlight near the
crumpled form.
The bullet entered behind the
right ear, penetrated the brain,
and emerged on the left side
above the temple. Physicians at
Winchester Memorial Hospital
held out no hope for recovery,
saying death was a matter of
hours.
County officials after examina-
ton said the shot had been fired
at the top of the basement stairs
and that the sheriff had tumbled
down the 20 steps to the base
ment floor.
It is believed he was aroused
by a noise and thinking someone
was in the Jail basement had
gone to investigate.
Stumbled, Is Belief
The stairs are narrow and
steep and the official theory is
that the sheriff stumbled and
in attempting to keep from fall
ing grabbed the wall with his
right hand, diScharging the pistol.
The sheriff, his wife, and Dep
uty Sheriff De Haven occupy
quarters on the top floor of the
Jail.

demands, with the approval of their

The publishers didn't want to sub

of all the printing trades crafts has
given the unions the unusual oppor-
tunity of securing the public's atten-

may judge the merits Of the unions

this industrial warfare on the shoulders
of the managers of the newspapers

The managers of the commercial shops

will voluntarily reduce their prices on

In conclusion, let us remark that
there must be something RADICALLY

per week flexible-hour cut.
Decreased earning power of the
printers and other crafts is not a re-
cent condition. These crafts have been
underpaid since the beginning Of the
World War. 1t has taken 10 years to
build up their scales through small in
creases gradually secured through ar
bitration. To prove that the printers
land other crafts are underpaid NOW
as well as for the last Is years, please
read the decision of Professor Paul
Douglass of the University of Chicago,
an internationally recognized author
lty on economic matters, who served as
arbiter in the arbitration case of The
Typographical Union VS.. Butte and An
aconda Publishers, IN 1928, which also
confirmed the decision of U. S. Com
missioner L. M. Van Etten, who acted
in the local hearing in Butte:
"Prior TO this decision, the day scale
for printers in these cities was only 3S
per cent and the night scale 81 per
cent higher than it had been in 1913,
although the countrywide index of the
cost of living was then " per cent
above the 1913 average. If we accept
this countrywide index as the best
measure of the movement of living
costs in Butte, this would mean that n
weeks wage could then have purchased
only 80 per cent or less of what it
could nave ooas-4; Is years before.
While il is true, as the publishers point
out, that this is an appreciable increase
in terms Of the purchasing power OF
the 1920 wage, it should not be forgot
ten that the REAL WAGES of the
Butte-Anaconda printers were greatly
deprecated in that year below their
pre-war standard, being approximately
SO per cent below their 1913 average.
The present increase, as a matter of
fact, only brings the money earnings Of
the might printers to 1870, and Of the
day printers to So per cent above the
1913. Even this decision does not there
fore restore the pre-war purchasing
power of the printers in these cities and
in view Of the fact that the wage earn
ers Of the country as a whole have &C
tually improved their status by from rs
to 80 per cent during this period, l GER
tainly cannot regard the increase IN
remuneration granted by the local
chairman as unreasonable"

PUBLIC MUST HAVE
FACTS TO SECURE
ECONOMIC REFORM

The development of a public mental
inquisitiveness concerning all economic
facts is one Of thu basic needs Of
America, Miss Mary van Kleeck, direc-
tor of industrial studies for the Russell
Sage Foundation, told a large group of
representative Denver citizens at lunch
con meeting sponsored by the Colorado
Labor Advocate.
Before constructive action of benefit
to the masses Of the people can be ex-
pected in such crises as the present de-
preston and unemployment situation,
declared Miss van Kleeck. public opin-
ion must be developed in far greater
degree than has yet been possible.
She explained that one of the pn-
mary reasons for the sad lack of a con-
certed public action on economic ques-
tons has been due to the concealment
of the real facts by those in possess
sion Of them. She criticized severely
the trade journals and newspapers
which withhold facts from the public
because they are controlled by power
full financ:ai interests or are suscep-
tible to "palm-greasing."
The LABOR press and other journals
which attempt to give their readers
what facts are obtainable we're laud-
ed by Miss van Kleeck as performing
a valuable public service.
The speaker expressed the opinion
that when public inquisitiveness be-
comes fired with the realization of
what can be accomplished in Fighting
the wrongs of the present economic
system through possession of facts, it
will set up such a clamor for the truth
that it can not be denied.
When this has been accomplished
and the facts are in the possession Of
the public, Miss Van Kleeck believes
a new order of things will be in the
making in which poverty will be mini
mixed; incomes will be more evenly
distributed; industry will be placed
upon q basis of stability under which
wages will have prior consideration
to profits, and economic planning win
supplant economic Reorganization.
