Seek to Stamp Out
Rule of Marihuana
Authorities Start Fight on
Pernicious Drug.
New York. — Narcotic authorities
throughout the country have started
a grim, Intensive drive against the use
of marihuana, one of the most insid
tous and pernicious dope evils of the
Twentieth century. The campaign will
be prosecuted with an intensity thal
no (similar past crusade has known.
And It probably will fail. Almost in
evttably it must do so.
Hut that is not deterring United
States officials from bending every ef
fort to stamping out widespread use of
mnrlhuann. If anything, their deter
mination was whetted by the recent
discovery here of the raw material for
1,000,000 “reefers.” This is the slang
term, used by addicts, to describe
the innocent-looking cigarettes made
form the lethal Mexican plant,
A Drop in the Bucket.
But—statistics startlingly show—tin■

baps—was a mere drop in the huge
bucket of marihuana dissemination.
To root out the menace it would he

list of drugs forbidden by the Harrison
act.
This measure fixed a heavy penalty
for tlie sale or possession of opium,
heroin,, cocaine and similarly deadly
narcotics. But on the topic of mari
huana it is silent, although desperate
efforts nre made yearly to have the
latter included in the ban.
The outstanding reason why the lat
est and most savage thrust against
marihuana may fail is easily explained.
This Is tlie facility with which the ad

nut marihuana can easily and cheap
ly be made by almost anyone. “Mary
Warner," as it is known along the wa

backyards, any patch of earth. There
n lies the grimness of the situation.
And the ironic corollary to this is the
fact that in at least half the states of
the Union it may he sold quite openly,
without fear of arrest.
What is this sinister marihuana? It
is scientifically designated as cannabis

its plant hasheesh is made—a mixture

Then he fails into a profound slumber.

forever. Sensuous images become mag

addict can literally hear a pin drop.

Our Neighbor—the
O
Oriental
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
So fur as numbers are concerned
the late Immigration laws have en
deavored to solve
the problem of the
Oriental in our
country. Restric
tions have prohib
ited the Japanese
and Chinese from
entering. Whether
this is a wise pol
icy time alone will
reveal. It is true
that much of our
menial labor can be
done luore willing
iy and far cheaper
by the Oriental than
by those of the
white race. It is also true that mer
chandise made in Japan hjis been of
fered for sale in this country at a price
cheaper than it can he manufactured
in our shops. It is also true that the
Oriental may not be the most con
genial neighbor. He comes to us with
Political Prodigy
Rush D. Holt has been elected United
States senator from West Virginia on
the Democratic ticket, hut being only
twenty-nine years old, he cannot qual
ify for the place until next June. Mr.
Holt was a member of the West Vir

gained fame for his successful fight
against waste in government expenses.
His father, Dr. M. S. Holt, is mayor
of Weston, W. Va.
the background of a different culture
and insists on expressing his hereditary
tendency. For tills reason we find the
Chinese, in particular, developing
colonies of their own where they have
their own temples, shops and social
privileges. Every large city has Its
Chinatown. This is only one side of
the picture. We should not forget that
In our universities many Oriental stu
dents have won first rank In the field
of scholarship. Many are preparing
for a professional career in their native
land. All of the Orientals in this
country are not of what might be
called the artisan class.
When we seriously ask ourselves,
what are the obligations we owe these
neighbors, we face a dilemma. One
thing certain: we cannot press assimila
tion to the extent of intermarriage If
we want to preserve the white race.
The latter invariably loses Its Identity
in the offspring of all intermarriages.
On the other hand, the best judgment
of the Oriental mind Is equally opposed
to Intermarriage. Nor can we assim
ilate them into citizenship, for the ren
son of their tendency to colonize. It
would be just as impossible for us to
become Chinese or Japanese.
Perhaps our obligation is best ex
pressed in the exercise of Christian
courtesy and neighborly spirit, endeav
oring to instill into them the spirit of
American democracy, and leave It to
work from within outward. Whatever
assimilation Is possible, must arise
within the personality of the Oriental
himself, and cannot be forced upon
him from the outside.

IN THESE days when economies are
sought it is well to remember that
fuel can he saved In many little ways
of well-planned cooking. Frequently
the saving proves one of time as well
as coins. Modern stoves and methods
require different management from the
one-time kitchen stove burning coal
and which was always kept going.
This is seldom found. There were cer
tain advantages in it, for the constant
heat made it possible to cook, slowly
at least, without adding to the fuel
bill. Rut on the other hand, the very
fact that the tire was constant in
creased costs. It is because the heat
can be regulated at will today, that it
is so important to have the fire going
ns little as Is com
patible with the
culinary work.
Cooking on top of
a gas, oil or elec
tric stove requires
less fuel than oven
cookery. So when
ever possible, use
top burners. When
stoves are equipped
with oil burners,
top and oven are
heated at the same
time, but It still
should be borne In
mind that more oil
Is used when the
oven is made hot*
than when the top
of the stove only Is
needed without
high temperature.
With an oil burning
range the planning
of cookery to save
fuel Is much the
same as with the
ordinary, if less
used, range. That is
when the fire is
high, do oven bak
ing as well as top cooking, and thon
let the fire burn low, or even cut off
the flow of oil and let the fire go out.
For Thrifty Cooking.
When using the regulation oil stove,
or the gas or electric stove, confine
cooking to top burners as much as can
be managed with results satisfactory.
For example, try that delicious pud
ding, baked apple tapioca, made from
cored, peeled, and sliced apples and
pearl tapioca, water, sugar, a dash of
salt, and cinnamon, if liked. Make it
in a double boiler on top of the stove.
The tapioca will steam in the boiler
much quicker and the apples soften, in
much less time than in the oven.
Serve in sherbet cups, and top each
glass with whipped cream or marsh
mallow whip. Macaroni witli cheese
can be made in the double boiler, and
if dished up and top covered with but
tered crumbs browned under the flame,
the effect is practically identical with
baked macaroni.
When having a roast use the oven
to cook other things which require a
hot oven, when that is needed, or
which take long rather slow cooking if
a lower temperature is right. It Is
amazing the reduction of time of keep
ing current on that can be managed In
this way. Carelessness in turning
burners down, when a lower tempera
ture is all that is needed, will bring
up bills a bit. And not to turn off the
current immediately it is not needed, is
actual loss.
A l’lace for Everything.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure is certainly true when
it pertains to putting away things so
that they are easy to iind. One’s pa
tience is not taxed nor her temper e!
tlier when she can go to a place and
find, not part of what is wanted, but
every piece needed. Few things are
more trying than to find one cuff of a
collar and cuff set lacking, when one
is in a hurry, and all three pieces
should be together. There are some
aids which may prove helpful in guard
ing against such an inconvenience.
If a set Is to be put away for some
time, a good way to insure having all
parts togettier is to take a stitch or
two through them just enough to tack
the articles together. See that these
stitches are taken through the portions
which turn under in each piece and so
will not show even the tiny stitch
holes when put on to wear. Pins can
ha used,, but they are likely to leave'
rust marks wherever the pins rest, as
well as in the pinholes, so the stitches
are better. Another way is to spread
the collar out on cardboard and lay
both cuffs on it too, over the collar.
Wrap the whole set in tissue paper,
and lay in a box. Many sets can be
put in one box which should be wide
though not necessarily deep.

GIVES CHANCE TO
COMBINE FABRICS
PATTERN #!*•
A two-piece frock is nice for a
number of reasons, one of the best
being that it affords such an excel
lent opportunity for the combination
of different fabrics. Take ibis de
sign—you can make it entirely of
wool with just buttons and a belt
buckle for trimming, or you can make
it with, for instance, a plaid wool
skirt and a plain velveteen blouse,
repeating one of the most attractive
shades in the plaid. However you
make it up, the well-cut skirt with
its smart kick-pleats and the becom
ing lines of the blouse will appear to
advantage!
Pattern 9135 may be ordered only
in sizes 12, 14, 1G, 18, 20, .80, 32, 34,
