Washington.--Oplutu huiuUnx. which it wwc!eol year* ,m(j decllne<l in dm united Siuies, U showing un "itInrmiuk ucrease," the narcotics bureau of the I reinjury department revealed. Seizures of snaking o(iltiin by federal ugents lust yeur^ttle.l 743 pounds, or twice as much as lu 1032. the bureau reported. Officials made no secret of the fact that they view the development with alarm. Practically all of the prepared opium elsed, the records disclosed, came from China and appeared to be mostly a blend of the Chinese and Persian products. The heaviest seizures were on the Pacific coast, lu the Hawaiian Islauds and In the Philippines, nearly all of the drug coming to these areas by ship from the Far Fast. On the Pacific coast the most popular brands were found to be "Choong" and "Ylck Kee"; in the Hawaiian Islands, "Um Kee" and "Lo Fook Kee," and In the Philippines, "Lion," "Dragon" and "Tongee"?all identified by federal agents as originating In the Far East. The price In the Illicit traffic remained about the same as In 1032, but officials said this whs duo to the 1q* creased demand taking up the additional supply believed to be available. Although the opium traffic has Increased, government officials reported decreases In the seizures of heroin and cocaine. Most of the heroin smuggled into the country came from French ports, while the cocaine seized was of Swiss origin. Officials ulso reported a disconcerting development in a number of the states caused by the Increasing use of Indian hemp, or "marihuana." There Is an extensive wild growth of the plant In Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. Federal agents found that In sugar beet states many field laborers secretly plant marihuana patches and sell the product or use It personally. The drug Is most commonly used In the form of cigarettes, selling generally from 15 to 23 cents each. It Is also mixed with beer or other beverages. Girl, Turning to Stone, 1b Saved by Physician* Los Angeles.?Facing almost certain death four* months ago as a sufferer from ealelnos, h disease that has stricken only twenty-two other persons In medical history, Trudy von Ravensherg, pretty nineteen-year-old high" school graduate, virtually has recovered and Is looking for a Job. When her case came to the attention of the orthopedic clinic at General hospital four months ago the girl's limbs 1 were incased partly in stony shells and the area of calcification seemed to be Increasing. A diet deficient In calcium, proscribed on the theory that too much lime would Increase the stony accumulation beneath her skin, failed to help Miss Ravensberg. Endocrine specialists then took charge of the case and a series of metabolism tests 'VHre made. A hormone of the parathyroid gland, which governs the amount of calcium In the tissues, was prescribed, although physicians were hesitant, as It wuf known to rob the bones of calcium, their most essential element. To counteract this a diet of milk, orange Juice and other foods rich In lime content was ordered. This seemingly paradoxical treatment had the desired effect, and physicians have told the girl, who four months ago was slowly turning to stone, that she con again go to work. The onlj? trouble, according to the girl, is that she can't find a Job. Key to Libby Prison Found in Rubbish Pile Mt. Carmel, Pa.?A large brass key from Libby prison, made famous In Civil war days, was found here in some rubbish. The key is about eight inches lon^j and weighs two and one-half pounds.

But_tt was eventually lest and forgotten until founiJUin the rubbish heap.

Purls.?-A party of thrco Aiujuiruns have gone to Siberia to soartfl ulong the swamp-lands near tho frontier for the last rental us of the American doughboys who died In that side line of the World war.

As the result of the trip, a score of Gold Star mothers who lost their sons In that desolate backwush of the world will find out within the uext few months whether the remains can be located. Task Difficult. Lieutenant Colonel Corbln declared: "We have no Idea how many of the bodies we will be ublo to find. They were burled at widely dispersed points neur about ten villages in the Amur region. After fields are plowed under, and smull crosses are lost or removed, the Job of locating a burial place years afterwards Is no mean tusk. "That Is why the War department will not ask tho families of the slain soldiers what disposal they wish made of the remains until we have located the bodies. We shall avoid unnecessary grief." Search In Summer. The bodies have to be located and exhumed during the summer, despite the swampiness of the land due to overflowing rivers. Winter lasts seven months out of the year there, and tho land becomes frozen. The actual work will be done by residents of the territory, under agreemeht with the Soviet authorities. The bodies will all be brought through the U.. S. & U. to Leningrad, and will be put on a ship there for Hamburg. At .Hamburg, the coffins will be sent either to Franco or the United Stales, in accordance with tlie* wishes of the families of the dead.

He was there In 1920. The third member of tho group is Daniel Glbbs. Both Dutcher and Gibbs are ex-service men who have been employed with the American Groves registration service In Paris.
