Washington. — Narcotic addiction
in the United States is decreasing,
but the official report of H. Jr An-
slinger, commissioner of narcotics,
transmitted to the International
Drug convention through the secre
tary of state, disclosed, neverthe
less, that in this country there still
is close to one addict to each thou
sand of population of about 126,-
000,000.
Among the events of the year in
volved in the report to the conven
tion, which is connected with the
League of Nations, was that of the
development of a widespread traf
fic in the narcotic known as In
dian hemp, or marijuana. This
traffic is not forbidden by the Har
rison narcotic act, although it is in
violation of a number of state
laws. This problem, it was said,
had “proved most disquieting to the
bureau during the year throughout
the country.”
Marijuana Traffic.
“Attention is called to the fact
that over 195 tons of marijuana, in
the form of plants, flowering tops
and cigarettes, have been confis
cated and destroyed in the various
states during 1935," the report said.
While not disclosed by the report,
the narcotic bureau and Washing
ton police investigated the use of
marijuana cigarettes by school
children. This aspect of the mari
juana traffic was regarded by treas
ury authorities as particularly se-
FRIAR AND LAWYER
rious. It was expected that In the
next session of congress an effort
would be made to amend the Har
rison act so that the federal author
ities might cope with this traffic.
In discussing the decline in illicit
narcotic addiction during 1935 Com
missioner Anslinger called attention
to the following factors:
The co-operation resulting from
the 1931 treaty limiting the manu
facture of narcotics, and the fact
that production in Europe has been
reduced by thirty tons annually.
The high adulteration of nar
cotics, acting as a forced reduction
treatment.
« Forces High Prices.
The scarcity of pure narcotics,
causing a prohibitive increase in
price, and forcing certain classes
of addicts to take cures for eco
nomic reasons.
Collateral allied police activity
by foreign governments (except
those of the Far East) in breaking
up organized smuggling gangs, fii
co-operation with the United States
government.
Secfrfetary Morgenthau has insti
tuted a campaign against the illicit
entry of narcotics into the United
States. It was significant that Com
missioner Anslinger’s report, coup
led with an ordered concentration
of Treasury enforcement agents on
the west coast and in Hawaii, in
dicated that this country’s princi
pal problem in restricting the illicit
traffic was concerned with the Ori
ent. .

The mere physical or material

splendid equipment is not our most
vital concern. We are more inter

which education is provided and
the end to be achieved through the
generous expenditure of such vast
sums of money. What is the chief
aim of education? Is it to enable
a young person to earn a living?
Yes, in part, it is that. We have
our trade^schools which train young
people for a definite employment.
We have our professional schools
from which are graduated our
teachers, doctors, lawyers. But even
though schools provide specified
training, are we justified in think
ing that education has fulfilled its
purpose, if it equips one to earn a
living? Let us remind ourselves
that education is no guarantee of
affluence, comfort of happiness. No.
Real education goes more deeply
than that. It does not guarantee
the possessor of a diploma employ
ment in his field of specialization. He
may be compelled to work in some
other field, in some other kind of
work wholly different from that for
which he received special training.
But in spite of the nature of his
employment, the educated man
should be ready for a richer, more
contented life, if he has caught the
meaning of education in the rou
tine process itself.
Education builds life as well as
life equipment.
...j
The ultimate aim of education is
the development of character. “As
a man thinketh in his heart, so is
he.” Thoughts make character, and
education trains the mind to think.
Right thoughts inspire right mo
tives which, in turn, direct the cur
rent of the stream of life. In a
little room of one of the large power
plants on the banks of the great Ni
agara sits a solitary man. He has
under his control volts of electricity

D RINGING a home up to date in
■*“* style of decorations can be ac
complished in two widely divergent
ways. One is to select new pieces
of furniture so discriminatingly that
they will fit in with the things al
ready possessed and each appear
at home with the other. Some fur
niture already owned will probably
have to be discarded, or at least
stored, should it be too good actually
to discard.
The Victorian furniture was such a
startling change from the classic old
time furniture in vogue when the
Victorian came in, that entire house
hold furnishings apparently were
given up in favor of the incoming
style. Had it not been for the spa
cious attics, and marvelous old sta
bles and bams, the classic pieces
would not have remained intact. We
would have been the losers, for
a renaissance of the former vogues
brought again into style the very
pieces discarded, and into th» dis
card went many Victorian fumish-
know not only how to use the power
but also when to use it and where
to direct it. Character as well as
skill is constantly put into execu
tion.
Education motivated by a high
moral purpose and a sincere altru
istic spirit should be the goal of in
dividual effort. No matter what sac
rifice is necessary, if education de
velops the character of a man, it
gives him an equipment that will
not fail, however uncertain may be
the conditions of employment or the
kind of work offered. Education
must cause a man to know him
self as well as facts and theories:
and to give himself a sincere in
terest in his work.

Such wholesale changes were, and
continue to be, expensive. Few per
sons can keep homes equipped in
what are considered smart furnish
ings by substituting a great deal
of new furniture for old. After all
since there is nothing new under
the sun, smartness is a matter of
what is in the heyday of popular
fancy at the moment. But there
are choice pieces of furniture, etc.,
that are always in style, because
always of exquisite lines and grace
ful contours.
Before going further into this side
of the question, let us consider oth
er ways of stressing smartness in
interior decorations, one of which
is by changing perishable things
from the old to the new style.
Another way is to get smart ac
cessories, carefully selected to fit
in with the furniture one has.
Draperies.
Draperies and curtains do much to
alter the appearance of a room.
These have to be renewed periodi
cally in any event. So let them be in
smart style, not too bizarre, to
avoid clashing with other furnish
ings.
Accessories, such as lamps, can
be in smart-style, also, occasional
tables, ornaments, afternoon tea and
after dinner coffee seta, glassware
—crystal clear or colored to fit the
moment—and picture frames, as
styles change decidedly in these.
Such pieces of furniture as foot rests
can be in evidence, when smartly
in style, or be stowed away when
not, except when comfort makes
them too sorely wanted to put away
entirely.

A precision instrument which determines the heart action, pulse
rate and records high or low blood pressure by the means of charts, is
the new “heartometer.” The graph gives a graphic report of the waver
ing in minute variations of heart action, and the blood pressure is de
termined in millimeter scales conforming to the standard mercury col
umn, as a red and blue neon light shows pressure, eliminating the use
of a stethoscope. The chart when completed shows a permanent read
