AMBITIOUS GIRL

Dear Mrs. Fairfax:
81 want to do q great many
things-have the incest man In
the world in love with me, inherit
q fortune, and have a career.
81 want people to- look up to
me and really be somebody. Can
YOU tell me how to manage all
this? 1 am only SIXTEEN"
The man you marry, no matter
whom you choose, will be the
"nicest man in the world" It will
be up to you two to keep UP the
illusion. That's the real rub. 1t
will take common sense and
patience.
Your inheritance will have to
take care Of itself. AS to q career,
set UP a mark you can h1t-noC
too high at first. Raise the mark,
as your aim improves. Keep at It,
and the best Of good luck to you.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"My mother objected very much
to my marrying the man I married.
But am very much in love with
him. Here's my difficulty:
"My mother did everything she
could to stop our marriage, even
telling my husband that she didn't
want him in the family.
"Since our marriage, my mother
has got over it, and forgotten how
bitterly she opposed my husband
but he hasn't forgotten, and dis
likes her so much that he doesn't
even want me to visit her.
"He says will have to choose
between my mother and him. /
won't stay away from my mother,
and don't want to lose my hus-
band, so what would you suggest?
"HEART-BROKEN."
It seems to me your husband
should put your happiness before
his resentment toward your
mother. To prove his love for you,
he should forget the past.
He must be broadminded enough
to consider your mothers oppoSi-
ton to your marriage was Just a
selfish one, that she wanted to
keep her child for herself. And
above all, he should realize that
your happiness is the first con-
sideration.

the District Reformatory, Lorton,
Va, and other changes were recon-
mended in a report made yester-

mendations included a full-time
social worker and a psychologist
to make possible the creation Of
rehabilitation committee.

REP. FISH LAYS
CRIME SPREAD
TO DOPE

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Amer,
ica's army of narcotic drug addicts
furnishes one of the major social
problems OF the day." Representa-
tive Hamilton Fish declared last
night in q radio address over a
Columbia Broadcasting SySte m
network.
There is a close relation between
the increase in certain crimes ano
the increasing illicit traffic IN
drugs, Fish said, adding:
ut has been estimated that 30
per cent Of drug addictS become
criminals and that about 81 per
cent of the prisoners in FederaA
institutions are either drug ad'
diets or were convicted of viola
tiOn of Federal narcotic laws"
30 TIMES AS MUCH
Drug addicts, Fish said, consume
about 80 times the amount re
uuired for legitimate use, with tne
resultant increase in poverty
crime and insanity"
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
was quoted as saying that:
Experience has demonstrated
that nations acting alone are un-
able to protect themselves
against the Illicit traffic in mar
cOtic drugs. Isolated action by
one country can have no perma-
nent or effective result while
other countries allow free import
and export Of drugs"
. There is mo halfway stage fol
the drug user" Fish said, because
"you are free from the habit abSo
lutely or you are a victim Of 1t alb
solutely."
Rich Profits
The seriousness Of the drug prob
lem today, Fish said, is due mainly
to the erich profits which import
ers and exporters realize from it.
He added:
"Science has discovered ways
of producing high powered drugs
that are extremely profitable in
exploitation, from the basic
drugs, opium and cocaine"
-. Only through concerted action
of all nations, Fish declared, can
any advance be made toward limit
ing habit forming drugs to legiti
mate uses.
The address by Fish was given
in connection with narcotic educa
ton week, which is sponsored BY
the World Narcotic Defense Asso
citation.

BOARD CLOSES
CORN FUTURES

CHICAGO, Sept, Is Q.N.S).
The Chicago Board of Trade early
today ordered all September corn
contracts closed out Immediately
at $1.101a. The order was effec-
tive as of the close of business
yesterday.
The action ended big squeeze"
in the future that has had short"
buyers in frenzy for days.
The boards directors decided
on the drastic move at an emer-
gency session which began early
last night and lasted until a. m.
today.
Trading was thus ended in the
future two days ahead of schedule,
and settlement must be made at
the $1.1O12 a bushel price ordered
by the directors. The contract
closed yesterday at $1,10 to Sill.
The move taken by the board
was unprecedented in peace times.
The only other occasion when
such a step was taken was during
the World War, when rising food
prices made the action necessary
to halt profiteering.
