One In 1000 In U. S.
 Is a Drug Addict
Four Times as Many Men Use Harmful Narcotics,
 While Most Victims Are Found in Large Cities

Practically all these drugs are used in medicine and the amount of addiction is determined in some cases by finding out how much more of the drug is produced than actually is used in medical care.
 For years there has been a great deal of research on the nature of Addiction, with view of it's preven- ton and to finding out methods of cure. Once a person has become addicted to some of these drugs, he can take immense doses which would kill an ordinary man; he de- velops what is called a tolerance to the drug.
 This tolerance seems to be asso- ciated in some manner with a change in the cells of the body and particularly with changes in cer- tain glands.
 When the person is taken sud- denly off the drug, he suffers un- usual symptoms. For this reason control of the condition and at- tempts to cure those who are ad- dicted are exceedingly difficult. All authorities agree that the basis of most narcotic addiction is AACAtdk dlu bii0t 6OiAO hlh0 OA treatment of the mind is necessary cry, even after the drug has been withdrawn completely from the pa- tient.
 Obviously, then, it is exceedingly important to discover the reason for which the patient first began taking the drug regularly. Some times this is for relief from pain, but in many more instances 1t is for relief from some mental strain or in relationship to some malad- justment in marriage or sex life.
 Next, it is important to know whether the patient continued to take the drug of his own volition, or whether he was introduced gradually and perhaps semi-con- sciously into it's regular use.
 There are some addicts who take drugs regularly simply be- cause they never have feeling of well-being without the drug. Of this type particularly are older peo- pie who must take certain amounts of alcohol regularly, or younger people under strain, who find themse' yes unable to bear the bur- dens that are upon them.
 There are other people who are sensation hungry and who take the drugs in search of thrills which otherwise seem to be lacking from their environment.
 The kind of mental treatment given to these people depends on the mechanism of their introduce tion to the drug and the reasons for it's continued use.
 Final control of the addiction de- bends on continuous education of the reason and of the will.

Memel Split As War
 For Control Starts
uthuania Forced to Intercede in Propaganda Battle
 Nazis Successful to Date

Memel-(UP) - Two bitterly
 rival Maxi movements are threat ening to split this little strip of for
 mer German territory wide open. They already have given the Lith- l, uanian government an excuse for , Intervention by removing the gov 1, ernor, and they may lead to dip- : lomatic incident between Lithuania and the new Germany.
 i, Memel is autonomous, but under Lithuanian supervision.
 . The strongest of the two Nazi i. groups is led by a veterinary, Dr ], D. Neumann. It is known as the s'People's Socialist Labor Commu- nity," includes the fraternal lodges among its membership, and, &C., 9cording to Lithuanian information,
 receives generous financial support
 from Germany. It contains many
 of the former ruling class.
 The second group is headed by
 Pastor Baron von Sass, and draws
 its supporters from the small civil
 servants, artisans and laborers. ,5 There is little conflict of ideas between the two groups: the
 whole fight hinges on who shall obtain leadership of both move
 ments and the plums of office.
 /, So far, I'D Neumann's Nazis have been more successful, due, their rivals claim. to financial aid from .Germany. They obtained an over .whelming majority at recent cleo lions to the Memel agricultural chamber, and this, coupled with recent disturbances, brought on the Lithuanian intervention. De- .claring that the Memel directorate . headed by pr Ottokar Schreiber, had lost virtually all it's authority, and that the Diet deputies formerly
 members of the Agrarian, Peoples
 and Social Democratic Parties. had Virtually all deserted to one or the other Nazi movements, the Lith- ! uanian administration removed Governor Gylys, replacing him with their own man, pr Navakas. Navakas's administration began with eenrgetic measures against 'Neumann's Nazis. A series of raids

No man who pays for votes can be a member of that august body. The only man who had any money to buy votes was MT Goss. His check for $50 was upon the desk of that negro club. (The An- sonia group) he was buying votes: The only one who could have told definitely what happened to that eek is MT Goss, and he has re- mained silent as the tomb."
 Washington, January "A -(UP) - Charges that dead mems votes were cast in one of Connecticut's hottest political battles today reached congressional committee hearing the contested election of Representative Goss, republican. of Waterbury.
 Martin B. Gormley, democrat, of Naugatuck, who was defeated by 78 votes in 1882, charge wide- spread fraud in the election.
 w. J. Larkin of Waterbury, at- torney representing Goss, asked house election committee to dis- miss all of Gormley's charges on the grounds that they were vague and uncertain and that they failed specifically to mention alleged frauds.
 Attorney McDonough for Gormley
 Gormley was represented by John F. McDonough, of Naugatuck, and Vrdon Tim nfhu Anabtrrxy nf Washington.
 Larkin made much of the de- position of w. J. Pape, editor of two Waterbury newspapers, who charged that voting lists in the city were in poor condition and that it was easy for repeaters to oper- ate.
 "Pape fired a man who said 129 names were wrong," Larkin testi- fled, "but Pape refused to name the investigator because he said he didn't want him persecuted. Now how are you going to pro- ceed on hearsay evidence like that?"
 Pape Claims 5000 Repeaters
 McDonough asked that Larkin's motion be denied and the fraud action upheld. He said that Pape was publisher of two newspapers in the district and a republican at that.
 MT Pape says there are 6.oo0 possible repeaters in Waterbury McDonough continued. That is no hearsay. MT Pape knows" McDonough said he was pre- pared to show that Goss had | handed a negro a check to buy votes in the city of Ansonia. Me- Donough said the key to his case would be the proof that Goss election worker in the third dis entered booths and tried to influ- ence voters despite their protests. | Ansbury confused the commit tee by referring to the congress man" when he met Gormley. Up. on heated protest he explained: | Heated Controversy
 "I would not call MT Goss
 congressman. No man who pays | for votes can be member of that august body.
 The only man who had any money to buy votes was MT Goss," Ansbury continued. His check
 for $50 was up on the table of that negro club. He was buying votes. The only man who knows
 what finally happened to that check is MT Goss and he remains as silent as the tomb"
 | Representative Willard, republi- can, New York, a new member 0f the committee led the cross exam ination of Ansbury and engaged in
 heated arguments. Finally Chair
 man Garigan asked them both to | control their tempers.

WEEKLY MEETING
 OF KIWANECL CLUB
Heard Good Address This Noon By C. M. Foster
 of Bridgeport

The accepted dictum that "Ac- cidents are bound to happen, was declared false and unfounded by C. M. Foster of Bridgeport in a speech before the Kiwanis club at The Elton today.
 There is a moral obligation to protect the welfare of our fellow men in every industry" the speak CT declared in emphasizing the need for closer study of accident prevention and greater use of preventative measures.
 "The generally accepted fatalis.' tic view in regard to accidents makes it extremely difficult to con : vince people that general care and individual special measures will do much to lower accident totals" , said MT. Foster.
 He listed the three Els of acci- dent prevention as Engineering, Enforcement and Education. These he said, are the basis of all pre- ventitive efforts.

Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
 One of every 1000 persons in the United States is victim of drug addiction, and there are four times as many cases of addiction among men as among women.
 Moreover, there is much more of this co ondition in the large cities than in the country districts.
 The drugs, or narcotics, include not only opium and cocaine, and their derivatives, but alcohol and tobacco as well. The popularity" of each drug seems to vary among the different countries.
 For instance, in Egypt and the Far East, there is mulch addiction to hashish or hemp, or to the drug called cannabis indica. In some places there is more addiction to cocaine than to opium.
 In the United States the drug called heroin is so well controlled that heroin addiction is not so se- rious 8 problem, whereas in for eign countries it may be the most serious of all. In Egypt, there are additions to this drug among chill dren 15 years of age and among old people over 65. And 1t is found among all classes of people.

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ :

THE world is living through the most exciting
l. period in the history of physics says DR.. Henry
A. Barton director Of the American Institute OF
Physics
This is an amazing time to be alive" he added.
THE people of this generation lucky"
Dr. Barton believes that the discoveries being
made in the world of physics today are more i'm
portant farreachng, and exciting than those which
came at the end of the nineteenth century and the
beginning of the the twentieth. Those discoveries
included X-rays, rado-activity and radium, and
opened the ways for the marvellous development of
twentieth century physics.
The work of the last few years deals with the
inner core, or heart of the atom the so-called
nucleus of the atom and gives definite hope for the
first time for the realization of two old scientific
dreams One is the ancient alchemists dream of
transmitting one element into another The other
is the more modern dream of releasing atomic en-
ergy.
The only question involved in the realization Of
these dreams, in Dr. Bartons estimates, is for SCI
entists to improve their atomic craftsmanship"
A T the beginning of the present century physicists
n were acquainted only with the negative cleo
irons which form the outer shell of an atom. They
felt that there must be positive electricity somewhere
in the atom, but could not prove it.
Then came Lord Rutherford's epochal study Of
radium which proved that the atom possessed a
central nucleus in which the positive electricity
concentrated little later the discovery of
the positive particle or proton
But the nucleus of the atom remained tight lit
tie fortress which deed all attempts of scientists to
penetrate it. Beginning about 1880, however. the
fortress was captured
Scientists succeeded in cracking open the nucleus
and the new branch of science, known as nuclear
physics or sometimes nuclear chemistry, came into
existence.
1t ushered in by the experiments of Cockroft
and Walton in 1890 They used protons to lombard
the atoms of thium. They found that the proton
which is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, united
with the lithium atom which then split in two be-
coming two alpha particles helium atoms Here
was the first example of nuclear chemistry. atom
of hydrogen and an atom of nthium uniting to form
two atoms of helium
That same year. Dr. Barton points out, Bottle
and Becker noted the emission of new types of par
ticles in atomic bombardments. These isolated
and identified two years later by Chadwick neu-
trail particles Of subaomic size and given the name
of the neutron. On Aug. 2. 1882, DR.. Carl D. An
derson of the California Institute of Technology dis
covered yet another new particle, namely the posi-
tive eectron or positron.
