By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press
The United States Public Health
Service issued a warning yesterday
against the excessive use Of codeine.
a derivative of morphine used In
cough syrups.
Codeine is one OF the essential ele-
ments in many of the indications
used to relieve coughs and is very
effective In relieving spasms and pain.
DR.. Lowrey F. Davenport, attend
ing specialist at the Marine Hospital
in Boston. said that since codeine is
a form Of morphine, its use over a
long period or in large amounts is a
potent factor in leading persons to
addiction to stronger narcotics.
THE reported cases of known
codeine addiction give incontrovertible
evidence OF the dangers Of the mar
cotic." he declared.
The borderline addicts constitute

Col. Battle told the Kiwanians the

at the scene of the violation. The
right of appeal would not be obviated

cation. This fat is used as fuel for
the long trips some of them take
on the extreme southern journey.
Upon their arrival in May, when
they are deeply concerned about
domestic affairs, they are far more
interested in keeping out of your
sight than in 1t.
These birds are about 9 inches
long. Their colors for field identifi-
cation are olive brown above and
gray below. The short, sturdy bill is
inconspicuous and tipped with black
The forehead is covered with feath-

with bars of white. Their feet are
a light yellowish green and their
eyes carmine.
These bog hunters are surprisingly
quiet when attending to family mat
ters and you are not aware of their
presence unless You enter their do
main. Then there arises such a con-
certed chorus expressing dismay
and indignation that you think the
bog is an overcrowded district and

Soras are modest little birds that
spend their time in fresh water bogs
minding their own business. They
are so well dressed for their sur
roundings that they escape your
attention at first. Some who have
seen them have mistaken them for
dark bantam hens, wondering why
they were so far from home.
Many call the sora the Carolina
rail, some know 1t by the name of
meadow chick, others mud hen, and
too many other names to mention
here. This will give you some idea
of the distribution of the bird. Its
range is North America. The breed
ing grounds are from Central British
Columbia. Southern Mackenzie, Gen.

writers and musicians are forever amazed
to find their once-popular productions
hopelessly out of fashion.
If fame has been but an incident in
the deserted individuals happy life, its
passing will not matter. But if he has
tried to build happiness on fame, he
must begin life's structure anew-begin
it upon different and sturdier founda-
ton.
Fame oftenest comes to someone who
seeks the happiness of work we'll done.
The authoress of Gone With the Wind"
labored many years to create a master
piece for its own sake. Now that fame
has come to her, she finds that it is
unpleasant.
You cannot win fame by seeking it
directly. Fame is by-product of con-
structive endeavor. When you have
achieved something that gives you
happiness, you will probably find that
fame has come to you. This bonus from
fate will then prove an unimportant
detail in your joy of liUing.
l knew the President of one of the
largest corporations in America when
we were in college together. He was a
nice fellow, full of fun but inclined to be
unambitious, we thought. He had no
money. But he went to work at some
thing he liked and slowly, surely, worked
his way up. l went to his Office recently.
1t took me three-quarters of an hour
to get by his various secretaries and
assistants.
"Well," l said, chow do you like this
business of being famous?"
"All right" He grinned. II like it,
Bill, now that it has come to me along

with other things that are lot more
important"
That was the way his mind worked.
Go after important things first - job
you like, woman you love, an oppor-
tunity to give everything you've got to
the fun Of living. Let glory and fame be
the frosting on your cake!
The man or woman | admire most is
not the famous person. For such one
breathe a prayer that fame may not
spoil his happiness. My hero is the
happy individual. He is the rarest of his
race, the psychological champion of his
community. For every truly happy per-
son there are scores of famous ones.
To win happiness you must know how
to live, to love and to laugh. You must
be able to win and to lose, to rule your
self and to submit to others, to give and
to take.
The happy person cannot cheat, for
no matter what he might gain, by cheat
ing he would lose his self-respect. Being
happy is the hardest - and the most
profitable - job in the world, because
it includes the continual enjoyment of
all other jobs.
You can be happy and famous too, if
your happiness is so great that you can
forget you are famous. But you cannot
be happy if you live for fame, because
chasing will-o'- '-the-wisp soon destroys
happiness. Show me happy person and
l will show you great one.
If you want to be happy, seek happi-
ness. If you desire fame, follow the same
method. You may attain fame as an
incident to happiness, but you can never
be happy if you begin by seeking fame.

A Los ANGELES judge, granting ali
~ mony to former film star,
said recently: "Back in Potts
town, Pennsylvania, and Hois-
ington, Kansas, they think film actors
all live in luxurious homes and every
thing is milk and honey. I've found
that this is not the case. An actor is as
good as his last picture. An author is as
good as his last story. Fame is aeeting
thing"
The judge was right. Fame is intang-
ible, food tide of invisible thought
waves rising unpredictably from millions
of minds and subsiding just as mys-
teriously into nothingness. Some ac-
complishment of the famous person
attracts great wave of adulation just
as the moon, in full phase, draws vast
ocean waters toward herself.
But the moon wanes again and the
waters recede. Neither moon nor human
can remain for long in the phase of
greatest attraction. Fame is created by
the coincidence of many influences, some
of them quite beyond famous PERSONS
control. To stake ones happiness upon
their recurrence is to devote ones life
to bitterness and disappointment.
John Gilbert, idol of the silent screen,
slipped into obscurity almost overnight
when pictures began to talk. Advent of
the microphone was the uncomfortable
factor in his case. How many famous
beauties have found themselves unable
to turn back Time, and how many
world-conquering athletes have striven
in vain to renew the youth of their fall
ing muscles! In the matter of entertain
ment, public taste is tickle. Painters,

EVERY cop is two persons, a

alligators, and rounding up stray
steers; hogs and bears. While
criminals were ducking the arm

man had the responsibility of
caring for a stray duck; six other

Berle's Hot Memo

Lines formed on the right,
left and middle Of Assistant
State Secretary Berle's office
the day the news got out about
his balloon-puncturing report to
the anti-monopoly investigating
committee. Business advisory
services, lobbyists and news men
rushed there to get the verbatim
text Of what may become new
doctrine in Administration ap-
proach to the business problem.
Be-le ordered 100 extra copies
for the second printing that
day, but there will be more.
None of the other economists
whose views were contested by
the Berle memo were angry at
having their toy delusions dis
PEELED. The tone of the recon-.
mendations was completely i'm
personal and carried the force
of sincere conviction. Leon
Henderson, secretary to the in
vestigating committee, cooper
ated in making public the eco
nomic analysis although it diff
fered sharply in some aspects
with his views.

Fr0nkfurter Boom

Frankfurter publicity promo
ton for the Supreme Court is
going over Unexpectedly well.
LeftwingerS here got Senator
Norris to start it to controvert
the general expectation that a
Westerner would be appointed
to the Cardozo vacancy.
Those who are near the court
(and furthest from Roosevelt)
say the technical situation of
the court requires a Westerner.
No sitting justice is capable of
handling the peculiarly intri-
cate oil, Indian lands, mining
legal problems, which require
special Western legal back
grounds.
Therefore, courtmen have
been betting on either Bratton
New Mexico), Denman (San
Francisco, or Stevens ID. c.,
formerly Utah) for the vacancy.
They think the President would
logically leave the Fraakfurter
appointment until the Brandeis
vacancy occurs, but, of course,
they are just being logical,
which is to say, inconsiderate.

There seems to be no truth

merce Secretary Roper, Navy
Secretary Swanson, War Secre-
tary Woodring, Vice President
Garner and others whose views
are known to be varyingly less
than 100 per cent, will be re-
quired to walk the plank. Such
suggestions, it may be said with
out fear of official contradic-
ton, are probably Pigments of
the imagination Of the Tory
press.
