INFLUX Of DOPE
FROM ORIENT
PERIL TOU.S,
BY WINIFRED BLACK
Universal Service

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-The
dope traffic-again.
Yes, again-and worse than
ever.
The manufacture Of dope has
been going down in Europe for
the last year or two.
In 1927, Germany, France and
Switzerland produce 1890
pounds of heroin, the narcotic
drug which is considered unessen-
tial to medicine in this country,
but which is most favored by the
dope" trade. Last year under
the terms of the new drug limi-
tation convention, signed at &C.
11eva in 1881, those countries
manufactured SGT pounds only.
Good neWS-as far as it goes.
Far East Making Dope
But you might just as we'll get
out an extra rejoicing that there
are only $4,000 poison gas bombs
being manufactured for use in
the orphan asylums as to make
much of a fuss about this heroin
victory"
It is true that Turkey las
closed for the time being any
how the factories that have been
turning out eight tons of herein
Q year-but what was manufac-
tured in Europe and Turkey be-
lore the new act went into effect
IN those countries has not gone
out of existence at all.
They make it in China and in
Japan now instead of in Turkey
and in Europe and at this very
minute the agents from the Medi-
terranean territory and what is
much more important to us,
the agents for the territory of
the United States are right over
there in China and in Japan this
very day laying in incredible SUI
plies of heroin, cocaine. morphine
and plain opium, and before win
ter really sets in these cruel and
devastating drugs will be on their
way to America.
Menace Threatens U. S.
If this great illicit supply of
degrading drugs gets into America
by way of Canada or by way of
Mexico or by way of the Pacific
Coast, in any sort of proportion
to the amount that is being
made in the Orient right now,
then we will be almost as thor.
oughly drenched with dope as
they are in poor brokenhearted,
desperate China.
And how are We planning to
meet this situation?
BY cutting down the appropri,
alton for the narcotic control
organization.
Harry Anslinger of the Federal
Bureau of Narcotic Control is
going before the Budget Bureau
early in December with some
facts that may induce Director
Douglas to put the antinarcotic
forces back into real business
again. by giving it something like
the amount required to even
make a good fight to keep Amer.
lea from being absolutely drenched
with dope.
What will the budget director
do about all this?
Time will have to tell.

GIRL KILLED
CLIMBING TREE
Helen McGinnis Hurled To
Ground Through Branches
Caused by Electric Wires
COMPANION LEAPS; SAFE

Helen McGinnis, 13 years old, of
Dagsboro, was electrocuted Thurs
day night when 5000 volts of cleo
tricity passed through her body as
she sought to climb to the top of
tree near the Dagsboro railroad
station. AS the current coursed
through her body she was hurled
through the branches of the tree
to the ground. She was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. McGin-
mis-, and is survived by them and
several brothers and sisters. The
girl, in company with her sister,
Viola, s years old, and her cousin,
Dorothy Timmons, Is, had been to
the station to watch the arrival of
the evening train and then walked
along the tracks. A large cedar
tree attracted their attention and
they started to climb. One of the
girls received a slight shock and
leaped to the ground but it was
said Helen continued to climb until
I she came in contact with the wire
which carries current from Vienna,
Md, to a number of lower Della
ware towns. The girl was in the
sixth grade of the Dagsboro school
and a favorite among her compan-
ions. Coroner Harry Pusey en-
paneled a jury and verdict was
returned that the girl came to her
death through accidentally touch
ing a live electric wire. Funeral
services were held Sunday after
noon at the Dagsboro Methodist
Protestant Church with interment
in the Red Mems Cemetery.

Washington.-As the result Of
drives in larger cities and political
subdivisions throughout the coun
try on state and local taxes, the
bill has been reduced more than
$5OO0O0OG0 annually from the high
point. it was disclosed by special
committee report of the United
States Chamber of Commerce EN-
bracing a nation wide survey.
If the lesser governmental units
which have made little or no re-
trenchmen follow the same COURSE
the report Indicated another say
ing of S500O0D00O can be Effected
without Impairment Of etiiciency
while If all tie states we're brought
back ~ tie 1926 level the cut would
be !. on G9G.C90. The comm.ttcn
estimated that 'wo-thirdS Of GOV
ernment costs result from state
and slOcal taxation.
Specific steps to accomplish this
purpose were recommended by the

ton Of business organizations

Definite and substantial progress
In the reduction Of the routine eX-
penditures Of state and local gov
ernments." the report said, comes
from every section of the country.
In many places where actual re-
ductions have not yet been made,
definite economy measures are
pending.
"The steady increase in the In
tensity of the public demand that
taxes be reduced is significant
Much of this demand, however. and
much of the activity of new agen-
cies advocating tax reduction, are
directed at the large expenditures
of the federal government This
may tend to obscure the urgent
need for general reductlon OF statt
and local expenditures.

problems OF state governments In
dicates that a number Of them are
facing acute taxation difficulties

states the administrative authori
ties, vested with power to curtal

are not so fortunate in their gov

James Whitlock, aged %, of

GOV. SIGNS KLAIR
LAW REPEAL BILL
Measure is First Bill to Be
Enacted i'm the Present
of Delaware Legislature
BILL SIGNED PROMPTLY

Governor C. Douglass Buck
Wednesday afternoon signed the
bill that repeals the Klair law. The
Loose law is now the only State
prohibition law now in effect in
Delaware. The repeal bill is the
first one passed by both branches
of the General Assembly at the
present session. The bill was in
troduced in the House by Repre-
sentative Leroy F. Hawke, of Will
mington, early in the session. It
was passed by the House Monday
afternoon and by the Senate Tues
day. Speaker Julian T. Robinson
in the House signed it Wednesday
morning and President Pro Tenn
w. A. Simonton in the Senate
signed it Wednesday afternoon.
Governor Buck arrived in Dover
! shortly after noon and few min
utes afterwards he attached his
signature thus making it a law Of
! the State With the elimination of
the Klair law it is now possible for
physicians to prescribe liquor for
medicinal purposes, and it will be
possible for druggists to have
liquor for sale to fill such prescrip-
tions. The druggists, however, will
have to be licensed under the Fed
eral dry laws. The Klair law made
it impossible for doctors to pre-
scribe liquor no matter what the
emergency. How the repeal Of the
Klair law affects the handling of
liquor under the Loose law is being
widely debated and, in fact, thru
out the State. Doubt has been ex-
pressed as to the right of drug
gists in the dry districts of Della
ware to have liquor to fill doctors
prescriptions even with the Klair
law a dead issue, but the advocates
of repeal point to a section of the
Loose law which, they claim
makes it clear that druggists in
all parts of the State are now able
to have liquor for medicinal pur-
poses. They claim that the Loose
Law makes it unlawful to deliver
liquor to any place in the State
where sale of liquor is prohibited
by local option. However, the
Loose Law, states that nothing il
, that section shall be constructed tC
; apply to individuals who may bring
into any section of the State where
the sale of liquor is prohibited by
law, one quart of spirituous liquors
or twelve pint bottles of NAL
liquors, nor to the delivery Of
; liquors for medicinal purposes tC
druggists actively engaged in bust
! ness" While Senator Simonton ha!
a Loose Law amendment on tn,
calendar, he states that it is hi
intention to have the bill furthe
: amended in committee to protes
= legitimate drug stores. Under tn
y proposed amendment, it would pro
tect these drug stores from com

a prohibition referendum in tn
political divisions of the State.

MONEY AND BOOKS FOUND
Lost in November, Returned Wed
nesday to Newark Woman


Mrs. Orville Little, of Newark,
considers herself the luckiest wo-
man in New Castle county, and
with good reason. For Mrs. Little
has just had returned to her S51.5O
in cash and four building and loan
books which she mislaid in Novem-
Der and had long since given up as
lost. On the day that she lost the
money and the books Mrs. Little
had attended an affair in Mitchell
Hall at the University of Delaware,
Wednesday, while he was cleaning
the hall, James Doyle, the janitor,
found the books and the money I'M
derneath the upholstered seat of
the balcony chair that Mrs. Little
had occupied that day. The books
had apparently slipped down be-
hind the upholstery while Mrs. Lit
tie was sitting there and had re-
manned hidden there all the time
Numerous affairs have been held in
the hall since the books were lost
Doyle said that he nearly missed
the books entirely for on Monday
as he was cleaning the upholstery
he was interrupted just as he had
finished cleaning part of the chair
in which they were. Wednesday
when he resumed his cleaning he
went back to the chair and then
found the books and money.

FARM BRINGS s4,2OO AT SALE
Nine Years Ago Purchased for
$4,000; 85 Per Cent Depreciation

Nine years ago Ralph K. Mason,
of Bantam, Conn, purchased
Eagle Nest" a 202-acre Sinepux-
ent Bay front farm six miles east
of Berlin, for S27,030. At that
time, July 1926, the Worcester
county tax rate was SLAB per $100.
Last week at Snow Hill at mort
gagee's sale, the Eagle Nest farm
of 202 acres was sold at public
auction to Raymond Bounds, Ocean
City garage owner for only $4,000.
The farm land in nine years de-
preciated nearly eighty-five per
cent in value, but a perusal of
county records show the county
tax rate still remains at $1.45 per
S100-unchanged in nine years de-
spite the drop in farm land values.

walton. where about fifteen hum
dred Indians were located, in the
house of Rev. Luke c. Walker,
himself a Santee Sioux Indian.
Our visit lasted three weeks,
during which time Mr.. Pancoast
and I were at Lower Brule, Crow
Creek, Rosebud and Pine Ridge.
The impression produced on our
minds by what we saw was pro-
found and can be briefly summariz-
ed as follows:
'SThe Indian of North America,
war-like and intractable as he may
seem to be is at the heart of his
being like other members of the
human family. That is, by pa
tience and Christian love he can be
led out of his primitive state to
understand and to be a part of our
civilized conditions. The educa-
ton of the various Christian
Churches that have labored
amongst the Sioux in the work of
their churches and schools have
proved this: Indian children in the
reservation school and those of
Hampton Institute, Hampton Vir-
ginia, as testified by General Arm
strong, are not unlike any boys
and girls in any school all over the
world. Captain Pratt of Carlisle,
Pennsylvania, later said the same
thing.
1--WE two young men came back
from this visit with the knowledge
thus gained and began to talk
among our friends of what we had
seen and heard. Suddenly and un-
expectedly to me, large opportun-
tiles for speaking and spreading
my ideas came in the cities of
Brooklyn, Long Island, New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Richmond, Virginia, Syracuse,
Utica, Albany and many othe:
places. The plea urged was that
the citizenship of the country
should take an active interest in
bringing about the immediate civil
ization of the Indian and his alb
sorption in the common life of the
country. His old life as hunter
and warrior was no longer posi-.
BILE. The thing now to do was fol
us through Congress and the Exec
utive, to fit the Indian by JUS
treatment and education to become
one with us. AS a result of these
ideas and their agitation, the In
dian Rights Association was form
ed December 18th, 1882, in the par
lors of the late John Welsh. Tit
Society has functioned ever sine

A new type of radio character will be co-featured with Arthur Tracy, the Street Singer, in the series programs to be heard thrice weekly over a coast-to-coast WABC Columbia network beginning Mon- day. June 5, at S:15 ?. m. EDST.
 Lonesome Lula" will be the radio pseudonyn of the new char acter, who will be heard on each boradcast in a brief dramatic mon- ologue. Through the series, the romantic life of one persen will be traced and the audience will hear dramatizations of various in- cidents in her career. Although only Lula's voice will be heard. many other characters will appear by implication.
 Though the dramatic monologue is not new to the airwaves Cor nelia Otis Skinner, for example, has appeared on a number of pro- grams in the capacity of guest artist-it is believed. that Lone some Lula" will be the first mono logist engaged to present con- nected series.
