islation to tighten WaShington's
narcotic laws.
Because Of this endeavor. the
federation has arranged to have
a speaker from the office Of the
Commissioner Of Narcotics give
q talk on "Marihuana."
GROWS WILD
This dangerous narcotic drug
grows wild in almost every State
in the Union and is therefore
easily obtainable. Not only does
it grow in the countryside, but
along the roadSideS and in the
vacant lots in the cities. In
many cities, its presence was
first discovered when health
officials surveyed vacant lots
in a drive to destroy ragweed
and other noxious plants. This
weed, which can either be
smoked, chewed or distilled, is
known to produce mental dete-
rioration in many cases. Its
effect upon the human body and
mind can be observed in natives
of the Malay Peninsula. who,
while under it's influence, have
been known to engage in violent
and bloody deeds with complete
disregard for their personal
safety.
AS far back as 1888, a cam
paign to wipe out the weed was
begun. The Bureau of Narcotics
endeavored to impress upon the
various States the urgent need
for VIGOROUS enforcement Of To-
cal marihuana laws. Appeals to
women's organizations and clubs
were made to lend their support
in getting these laws enforced.
Smokes" PEDDLED
Marihuana cigarettes h ave
been peddled to school children
all over the country. At the be-
ginning of the year, Narcotics
Commissioner Harry ]. AnSling-
er, in his annual report to Con-
gress, reported a 81 per cent in
crease in the seizures Of the
drug over those of the previous
fiscal period.
Other features of the meeting
included a talk on ethical and

The City of Nome should set the example or its citizens, in keeping up the appearance of its property as we'll as in other mat ters. And we wonder if, by clut- tering up the street in front of the City Hall with a rather de- crepit and very unsightly oil wagon, the city fathers feel it is setting very good example for us.
 he city hall i, after all, the cen ter of municipal government, and if the city fathers are not Suffic iently interested to keep the ap- pearance of the building and the street in front of it as good as possible, why should they expect their next door neighbors and individual property owners to be interested enough in the appear ance of the community to keep their premises in order.
 If the city has no warehouse in which to store it's machinery, we would suggest that it at least be parked in the rear or some back street, and not furnish an eye. sore on our main thoroughfare.
