Tune of "Yankee Doodle"

It's a trick he learned by himself
and performed for reporters-a lit

to lose an audience on the verge
of impotence, breaking forth into
a lively refrain that was unmis-
taxable.

NARCOTIC ADDlCTS
REDUCED IN NATION
Traffic Among School Chill
dren Causes Concern.

Washington. - Narcotic addiction
in the United States is decreasing,
but the official report of H. J. An
Singer, commissioner of narcotics,
transmitted to the International
Drug convention through the secre-
tary of state, disclosed, neverthe-
less, that in this country there still
is close to one addict to each thou
sand of population of about 1885,
900, 1000.
Among the events of the year in
volved in the report to the conven-
ton, which is connected with the
League of Nations, was that of the
development of a widespread traf-
fic in the narcotic known as In
dian hemp, or marijuana. This
traffic is not forbidden by the Har-
rison narcotic act, although it is in
violation of a number of state
laws. This problem, it was said.
had proved most disquieting to the
bureau during the year throughout
the country"
Marijuana Traffic.
Attention is called to the fact
that over 1875 tons of marijuana, in
the form of plants, Towering tops
and cigarettes, have been confis-
Gated and destroyed in the various
states during 1885," the report said.
While not disclosed by the report,
the narcotic bureau and Washing
ton police investigated the use of
marijuana cigarettes by school
children. This aspect of the mari
juana traffic was regarded by treas
ury authorities as particularly Sc
rious. 1t was expected that in the
next session of congress an effort
would be made to amend the Har-
riSon act so that the federal author
tiles might cope with this traffic.
In discussing the decline in illicit
narcotic addiction during 1885 Com
missioner Anslinger called attention
to the following factors:
The cooperation resulting from
the 1881 treaty limiting the manu-
facture of narcotics, and the fact
that production in Europe has been
reduced by thirty tons annually.
The high adulteration of mar
cotics, acting as a forced reduction
treatment.
Forces High Prices.
The scarcity of pure narcotics,
causing a prohibitive increase in
price, and forcing certain classes
of addicts to take cures for eco
nomic reasons.
Collateral allied police activity
by foreign governments Except
those of the Far East in breaking
up organized smuggling gangs, in
cooperation with the United States
government.
Secretary Morgenthau has insti-
tuted campaign against the illicit
entry of narcotics into the United
States. 1t was significant that Com
missioner Anslinger's report, coup
led with an ordered concentration
of Treasury enforcement agents on
the west coast and in Hawaii, in
dictated that this country's princi-
pal problem in restricting the illicit
traffic was concerned with the ORR
ent.

New York, Sept 23.-Dinner in
Chinatown the other night and a
stroll through Mott and Pell Streets
where the greatest temptation in the
curio windows is a beautiful ivory
packscratcher.. SO many people
speak of Chinese food when the term
is as inclusive as reference to Amer
lean food; do you mean North China
food or the cuisine of South Coast?
Are you talking ABOUT Cantonese
dishes and, by the way, one walk
down place with red leather settees
heralds Cantonese Epa,urean De-
lights" in Neon flame and lives up to
the brag-or do you have in mind the
dishes of Turkestan, Manchukuo and
Mongolia?. -. There are vast differ
ences, as great as those between the
tables spread in New England and in
deep Virginia..
And yesterday mentioned that I
hadn't heard of any Legionnaire pro-
gram which included Chinatown in
the rub5ernacking orgy. Now many
people insist that Chinatown will have
it's full share of the merrymaking
ex-soldiers. Indeed, from the looks
of things the district expects record
crowds; every shop door of any pre-
tensions at all is hung with gaudy
red banners: Welcome Legionnaires"
80. Chinatown billboards are plaster
ed with big news bulletins in crudely
drawn glyphics, before which silent.
unsmiling Orientals stand reading
glumly. News of the war. And as
one group of collegiates staggered
act -
able Chinese lettering, a lad quip-
ped: II can't believe things are as
bad as t!"-peering at the poster
and shaking his head. ...
While we're at it, let's get this Chi
nese gable off our chest There's
the Chinese waiter, who is either the
most courteous of servants or the
most sullen and unbending. -. The
proprietors of the little restaurants
all look young and are bespectacled
They are graduates of Eastern uni
versities for the most part and are
more cultured and better bred than
$3.50 of the gapers who google at them
as if they were Zulu savages. ;. Chi
nese food, which has the reputation
| for cheapness in its quick-lunch and
roadside tavern versions, actually
runs into heavy tariff if the delica-
cies are ordered. The dingiest hole
in-the-wall eatery in Mott Street of
fers $500 dinner, beginning with
birds nest soup-which l have never
been able to#like OF course the
same kitchen serves 5O-cent dinner;
but first-rate food is expensive as I
have bored you with repeating
Park Avenue and Mott Street alike.
Chinatown is particularly zes,fu
now, because an Italian fiesta is in
progress in the narrow passages i'm

WELL-FED CHILDREN
HAVE BEST FUTURE

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 23.-
Well, fed, rosy-cheeked children have
a better chance to succeed in their
school work, in the opinion of nutri.
ton authorities.
And the school lunch is one of the
important meals of the day, said Miss
Sallie Brooks, extension nutritionist
at. State College.
An appetizing, nourisEing lunch can
be prepared with three or four kinds
of food, she added. She offered the
following suggestions for the mother
who wishes to pack a tempting lunch
Sandwiches made from day-old
bread, preferably while wheat, light
ly buttered and with Filings made Of
chopped eggs, minced meats, cheese
chopped nuts mixed with cheese, JAM
or vegetables.
Fruits either raw, stewed, fresh, or
dried, or fruit juices.
Sweets such as baked or boiled Gus
tards, junkets, cookies, small amounts
of homemade candies, or milk chO-
colate.
A hot dish or drink such as cocoa,
creamed soups or creamed dishes, car
ried in a thermos bootle or made and
served at school.
The lunch should be carried in a
ventilated container that can be wash
ed and sca1ded, and which includes a
thermos bottle Select foods and pack
well. Cold foods should be only those
which taste good when cold.

The most decisive and humilitatlng
defeats in all British naval history,
have been inflicted by ships of the
United States.
First of those defeats occurred 1853
years ago today, when squadron OF
four American ships, commanded by
John Paul Jones, attacked fleet OF
80 British merchant-ships conveyed by
two frigates.
It is interesting to read a British ac-
count of this. such as Claud Golding's
in "Cavalcade of History"
1.-THE naval engagement which took
place off the Yorkshire coast, Sept. %,
1779, between two English ships and
an American squadron, is famous for
the fact that the Americans were led
by the notorious sadventurer Paul
Jones. 81
Jones had more mud slung at him
than any man living during the 18th
and 10Th centuries.
"It is difficult to say whether he
deserved it

that the fleet was conveyed by H. M.
S. Scraps and Countess of Scarbor-

"His ship, Bon Homme Richard,
