English Sparrows Guests
Daily of Inspector

Some persons feed pigeons and
some prefer squirrels but it is
hundreds of saucy English SPAR
rows hanging around the front
Of the Navy Building that get the
breaks from Inspector William
Wright.
The inspector is in charge of
public building guards. He also
feeds more Sparrows per year
than any other person in the Dis
trict, distributing in IL months
more than $50 pounds Of bread,
not including many more Of cake.
The inspector, who was an In
dian fighter and a Regular Army
major in the World War, has
had IS years service as inspector
Of building guards.
He first became interested in
daily handouts to Navy Building
sparrows during the bitter win
ter of 1925-26 when snow reduced
the birds to starvation. A few
handfuls of bread created such a
furore of excitement and delight
Inspector Wright became inter-
ested in their welfare and, eight

years later, still Is.
Every day at 11:30 a. m. he
scatters in small bits, a loaf and
a half of bread. Occasionally he
adds a bit of cake.
Most of the birds are sparrows,
but robins, blackbirds, and pigeons
horn in sometimes for dessert.
AS individuals stand out in any
crowd, so do sparrows, the inspec-
tor has found. One he became
especially attached to had a de-
formed leg and bobbed tail. Be-
cause Of "Limpy'S" handicap the
inspector fed her aside. Oddly
enough the other birds never at
tempted to snatch Limpy's choice
morsels but confined their scrap
ping to their healthier brothers.
Limpy stayed here several years
and then disappeared, as did an
unusual white robin after one
season.
The inspector lives in the 1900
block Seventeenth st. N. w. He
has scar over his right temple
from a Sioux arrow, but he'd
rather talk about sparrows.

200U.S. CLERKS
REEMPLOYED

Approximately 200 Federal en-
ployes, dismissed from statutory
bureaus, were reemployed during
the past week, mostly by the new
emergency organizations.
The Civil Service Commission
has found some difficulty in get
ting reports of the number from
the emergency units. because the
latter are so busy that matters
of routine are swamped beneath
the press of emergency work.
The probabilities are, therefore,
that the number may have been
larger, but the estimate of 200 is
made on the basis of the best in
formation the commission has
been furnished. Last week 229
employees got new jobs with the
Government.

MANCHUKUOANS
ENCOURAGING
OPIUM EVIL
By KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright. 1888, by International
News SerylCel

The JapaneSe-controlled State
of Manchukuo is threatening to
become the dope" depot of the
world.
This puppet empire is endan-
gering all the efforts of the rest
of the world to stamp out the
narcotics evil. More than a mil
lion pounds Of opium is expected
to be produced there this year.
Details of how the Manchukuo
government is increasing produc-
tion and consumption of opium
were revealed to International
News Service today by a govern
ment authority.
Rich Poppy Area
BY absorbing Jehol province,
Manchukuo has obtained some Of
the richest poppy producing area
in the Far East. A government
monopoly has been established
over the production and conSump-
tion of opium for smoking pur-
poses. Unlike other government
monopolies which are designed to
restrict production. this one indi-
fectly fosters increased produc-
ton.
The Manchukuo government
even has gone so far as to pledge
revenue derived from the produc-
ton and use of drugs as security
for an internal loan. 1t recently
floated a 100000 yen loan,
approximately $8,400, 900, with the
salt tax and the profits of the
opium monopoly as security. This
Is the first time in the history of
the world that profits made from
the smoking of opium have been
pledged as security for gov
ernment loan.
This is in direct conflict with
The Hague opium convention of
1912 and the other opium conven-
tionS to which all the principal
nations of the world are parties.
Tax Reduced
Manchukuo not only has estab-
lished a special bureau to handle
the opium monopoly, but it has
reduced the tax on poppy produc-
ton half Of what it was under
Chinese rule. This is considered
a direct incentive to the farmers
to increase production.
OF greater danger to the world
at large, however. is the fact the
government permits expectation
of the narcotic to anyone who
claims it will be used for medical
purposes. None Of the import
restrictions which apply to every
other drug-producing and manu-
featuring nation cover Manchu-
kuo. Thus, narcotics can be ship
ped out of it's territory freely.

MARYLAND DOPING
REVEALED BY j. S.
Practiced Generally or
Horses at Nearby Tracks,
: AnsIinger Declares.

Declaring that doping" had been
practiced generally over the Maryland
racing circuit as well as elsewhere Ii
the country, Harry j. Anslinger, COM
missioner of narcotics, who has been in
charge of the lengthy investigation
which recently resulted in several in
dictments in Chicago, said here this
afternoon it was up to the racing people
themselves to clean house.
Anslinger said the Federal probe
which started in Maryland at the
opening of the annual Fall meeting last
year. hao developed that not only were
horses being tampered with at the four
major tracks-Laurel, Bowie. Havre de
Grace and Pimlico-but the half-milers
also were the scene of these operations.
The inquiry also extended over the
Spring meeting this year.
Anslinger, who has just returned from
Chicago. held a conference yesterday
with Harry Stringer secretary of the
National Thoroughbred Association, and
John o. williams of the Bureau OF
Snimal Industry, at which plans were
discussed for breaking up the doping
practice at the Maryland tracks, but
no definite conclusions were reached.
One proposed measure under conSidera-
ton is the saliva test, which, it was
said, would reveal the presence of a
narcotic in an animal.
In the Maryland investigation, the
commissioner sadi. it was developed that
a solution of heroin. digitalis, nitro-gly-
cerin. strychnine and kolanut was COM
monty used to stimulate the speed Of
the horses In some cases, the mixture
was injected into the neck of the horse,
and in others it was administered
through the mouth or simply placed on
the tongue.

employees to decide which plan they
preferred He said Cannon's interven-
tion was unfair and that his message
conveyed the wrong impression.
Cannon's telegram follows:
Employees of Allis Chalmers Co. Of
Milwaukee advise that the company will
force employees to vote Thursday on the
proposition Of staggered hours instead
of 35-hour week under code. Employees
are In favor of 35-hour week. Company
threatens If employees adopt 35-hour
week about go per cent of employees will
be laid of. Is this not essential viola
tion OF the recovery act? Believe this
situation calls for immediate action on
your part to stop this vote"
Babb denied the company was using
compulsion or coercion in the vote.

When the summer sun beats down zeient-

sultry-a visit to the new Frigidaire air
conditioned Peoples Drug Store will prove
a delightfully."- refreshing experience. The
Frigidaire air conditioning unit draws in the
warm, stuffy air, passes it over the chilled
surface Of large cooling coil, cools the
air-at the same time, reducing humidity
by eliminating excessive moisture, and re-
moving all dirt, dust particles and pollen,
through a process of condensation. Then
this cool, dry, invigorating air is circulated
back through the store by means of spe-
cially designed fan which creates an even,
gentle circulation without annoying drafts.

Mindful Of Our Needs

1t would be interesting to have the exact fig
ures indicating just how much money the federal
government has spent IN tile past few years in its ef-
forts to aid the farmer.
Some Indication Of it is seen by looking into
the record Of what has come into Sheridan county
alone in the form Of government loans during the
past few years. The amount in seed and feed loans
now approximates 81, 900, 600.
When there il added to this amount the hun
dred thousand dollars that will have been sent into
fhe county ~ direct emergency relief from last Octo-
her till May first, and The money spent through tbe
Red Cross during the past two years Of drouth, there
II afforded most convincing proof to The people of this
state that the federal government has not only been
most genuinely concerned for their welfare, but that
Y has evidenced its sympathy for their plight and It's
faith in Their future in d most practical way.
Our mendacious politicians forget this: it is
most evident from some of their published statements
II they ire correctly quoted. We need not be greatly
concerned about them Or their influence on the people
however. The fact speaks plainly to tire nun who has
