CARLETON A

Hay dos vastas regiones del
mundo donde el habito de Ia
droga es cast universal, China Y
ia Altiplanicie Andina. En- ell
primer case es ell opio 10 que Sc
usa; en- Ell segundo es la cocai-
ma. Respecto de China, sc ha he
cho una gran cantidad de pro-
paganda v sc ha intentado de
manera considerable un control

sunto han asumido la misma ac-
titud tolerante Y semi-indife-
rente de las poblaciones nati4
vas, bien perdonando ell uso de
la droga o bien considerandolo
meramente como una rara pero
n~ecesaria costumbre.
Ell hecho es que csc habito ha
degradado y debilitado a ambas
n~aciones. Porque entire las po-
blaciones nativas de toda la re-
gi6n andina desde ell sur de Co.
lumbia hasta ell norte de la Ar
gentina, ell uso de la cocafna es-
ia generalizado. El alcaloide es
derivado de Ia masticaci6n di-
recta de las hojas de la planta
conocida cientificamente como
eryirOrlon coca Y utilizada apro
ximadamente por 10 milones de
indios suramericanos. Proba-
blemente ell rs por ciento de los
habitantes del Peru son masca-
dores de hojas de coca. Ell por-
centaje puede ser aun mas alto

Derby Entrant Feels!
That Father Time
Chasing Him
Boy Will Be Youngest
Contestunt in Ruce
For Third Year

Bernard Burnstine feels like he is
being chased-with the hot breath
Of calendar blowing on his neck.
It's all because of the Soap Box
Derby minimum age limit. For the
third consecutive year Bernard
comes pretty close to being the
youngest entrant in the coaster
race for boys.
After school yesterday, at his
home at 500 Franklin street NE,
Bernard stopped working on his
1910 model Derby racer long enough
to say he was glad his birthday
Is in June.
Bernard just skinned under the
Derby age minimum in 1888, when
boys from % to is were eligible.
Then in 1899 the minimum was
raised to 10 years, and Bernard Just
made 1t again.
Il thought I'd be all right in 1910
and wouldn't have to worry" Ber-
nard said.
Age Limit Again Raised.
But in 1910 the rules again were
changed in the interest OF safety
and the age minimum raised to II
years. Bernard will be II in June,
which, he says, makes it too close
too many times"
His situation, however, is better
than number Of other boys, whose
birthdays come on the wrong side
Of July 13-l940 Derby Day.
Eddie Duvall's case is good
Illustration. Too young for the
123s eaee. Eddie eagerly Looked Tor
ward to last year only to be disap-
pointed when the age Limit was
" Downhesrted but still not giving
up, Eddie set back and waited for
1910. But for the third year Eddie
was disappointed. He won't be II
until October 13-three months too
late. He already had started his
racer at his home at 800 North
Danville street, Arlington, Va, but
now he'll have to wait for another
year. =
Derby Director Zeb T. Hamilton
meanwhile reminded Derby en-
thusiasts to get their rule books
early so their cars would conform
to the 1910 regulations.
The Star and the American Le-
gion," he said, ARE going to spon-
sor a quiz program based on the
official 1910 rules. Every boy who
enters the Derby will be eligible to
compete in tn quiz, which will be
broadcast this month.

and also 10 intensity the quality Of
illumination.
Japan, which seems destined for
a long period Of wartime conditions,
was interested in the news not only
because Of the remote possibility Of
general illumination but because
heatless light would be particularly
valuable in munitions factories and
for use in interiors during AFRAID
