cleanup campaign against the
evil. He dug up the evidence which
resulted in eight arrests and the
questioning of more than 2O(
persons.
The situation is causing concern
among parents and civic Officials
in this fashionable region.
We're going to stamp out
this evil, with the cooperation of
the Federal authorities, said
Sheriff Casey. cts no easy job
because it is so easy to obtain
the weed"
The marijuana cigarette puts
the smoker on high" imparts a
false courage, breaks down moral
standards and sometimes leads to
acts of violence such as murder
or suicide.
SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED
DR.. Bowman, who formerly was
chief medical officer of the
Boston Psychiatric Hospital and
assistant professor of psychiatry
at Harvard Medical School
described the symptoms Of can
nabis indica" CMarijuana), which
is also know as Hashish in
Oriental countries where it has
been used for centuries.
When smoked there is
transitory stage of apprehension
followed by a definite feeling of
elation and exhilaration," he
said. THE individual becomes
talkative, laughs loudly and
feels capable of great effort.
Ideas flow with great rapidity
and there is the subjective
feeling of great mental clear
ness which is, however, decep-
tive.
There is considerable sex
stimulation and inhibitions and
moral sense are largely
abolished.
SENSES DISTORTED
FLASHES of light and bright
colors appear. The sense of
space is altered and the sense
Of time appears changed.
After an hour or two these
sensations disappear, the in
dividual becomes mildly de-
pressed, underactive, or even
stuporous, and suffers from
headache.
There may be a variety of
reactions, dependent on the
personality of the user. States
similar to the pathological
intoxication from alcohol may
occur with suicidal attempts"
Use of the drug has increased
considerably in the past few years
particularly among high school
students, he added.
SPECIAL LAWS SOUGHT
DR.. Karl M. Bowman, director
of the division of psychiatry, Belle
vue Hospital, declared "marijuans
smoking should be under the Fed
eral drug act.
"The Government should treat
It as it does opium and cocaine"
he said. Special laws need to
be passed and special measures
taken. Rapid diffusion among
students of high school age is a
particularly vicious feature of
the situation.
THE American Medical Asso-
citation has demanded rigid laws
to prevent it's sale throughout
the county"
One of the difficulties in com
batting the spread of marijuana
DR.. Bowman explained, is the fact
that it grows wild. particularly in
the South and West, and can be
easily planted and grown.

Soon, some of Paris will be moving

Train it Is June, and Paris Is
at its gayest.
July, it Is the roaring fjords Of

their branches In the green waters.

these small worlds built Of white brick,

guard around them; such teeming en-
thusiasm and intense hopes! What
better ground is there in which to
nurse the seeds Of future inspiration?
March Brings Thoughts
OF Scotch Highlands.
March Is the Highlands. Sheer
black mountains, snow-capped. Gold
en- bracken cleaning on the hillsides
Twisted pines, torn by bitter winds,
standing outlined against q sky as
moody as the Scots themselves .
gusts Of cloud, quick signs Of rain,
vivid flashes of hail and snow, elusive
moments OF sunshine. The chime Of
cattle bells in the air. blending with
the plaintive note of a shepherds
pipe; the martial note Of Cameron
bagpipes as killed detachment
marches down road Free, wild, and
yet cannily wise and shrewd are the
smiling Scots entrenched in the
tradition that is theirs from the stern
hills and shining rivers, theirs from
the battles of the clans, theirs from
the enchantment that is their music,
the carefree abandon of their dances

April is London, with its budding

 LONDON, March 8.-British Pre- mied Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today that if peace talks with Germany and Italy failed, Great Britain will speed up the already gigantic rearmament program.
 The Premier said if negotiations succeeded, disarmament will fol- low in due course.
 The Prime Minister gave the an- swer to the opposition charges he desired dictatorship.
 Chamberlain said: T have to deal with the world in which dictator ships exist. I have no interest in other systems of government except insofar as they react on other coun- tries. I have no bias in favor of Nazi or Fascist isms or even Bol- shevism because all seem incon- sistent with what is all import ant to me because it is the root of my political creed, and that is individual liberty"

FORMER EDITOR
 TEST|FIES IN
 TREASON TRIAL
Soviet Probes Palace Revo- lution Plot Start
 ed in 1929

MOSCOW, March 8.-Nikolai sBu- charin, one-time editor of the Gov ernment paper, Izvestia, testified to- day at the treason trial on the idea of the Palace Revolution, born among his so-called rightests about 1929.
 First to suggest. the plot, Bucharin said, was Michael Tomski, former president of the Soviet Trade Union, who died mysteriously two years ago. Bucharin said he sent men into provinces to organize peasant upris- ingS in 1881.
 He refused to admit personal share in espionage for foreign powers, but accepted responsibility for spying by subordinates.
 Stalin's forceful collectivation of peasants to which was attributed thousands of deaths by starvation was asserted by Bucharin to be the main cause for opposition to the So- viet program.
