■COP DODGER' IS NEW DOPE FOR DRUG ADDICTS Increase In Number Os Victims Is Accounted For By Smuggling By Pearl Gross INS Staff Correspondent New York, Oct. 31- Investigation of the drag addicts here has disclosed the fact that a new form of morphine called "cop-dodger” is responsible. This narcotic is apparently so harmless in appearance that is has been smuggled past the eyes of the most vigilant detectives. The drug traffickers have discovered that this dope gets by so easily they have adopted the “cop dodger" cognomen for their wares. All Young Men The new victims in the latest thing! in drug-using, are practically all ycging men. “These boys never took a drug cure before," said Chief City Magistrate William McAdoo after conducting an j investigation of th new evil. "For. that reason it is a doubly dang(4ous thing. This innocent-looking drug is more deadly than heroin or opium. "About 85 per cent of our drug addicts take the drug heroin. Recently, however, they tell me that the peddlers from whom they have bought heroin, are offering tham ’cop-dodger'| instead. The addicts say they can get an equal effect from $6 worth of | ‘cop dodger’ as against sls to $25 of heroin. “Cop-dodger is really morphine. It is made in such form that once smug-1 gled across the customs barriers it is simple to turn this preparation into morphine.” A federal law passed several years ( ago forbids the manufacture, sale and ( distribution of heroin. It is now, principally a product of Germany and [ Switzerland, according to drug ex-j perts, and exported by smugglers into this country. League Is Warned Warning of the new drug was placed before the League of Nations by Stefano Cavazzoini, a leader in the fight against the smuggling of drugs, Cavazzoini, an Italian delegate, asked that the nations be aroused to restrict the amount of this newly manufactured drug and to trace its exportation. Arthur Woods, former police commissioner of New York, American delegate at the League of Nations Advisory Opium Conference this week, introduced a resolution that forty opium factories be placed under government control or taken over entirely by the eight nations involved. “This would be a solution to the problem,” Judge McAdoo stated, in commenting upon the Geneva conference. “It would stop the wholesale smuggling of drugs in this country which is endangering our American youth.*' o Five Million Bathrooms Needed On Farms In U. S. New York, Oct. 31 (UP) The United States, with all its boasts of prosperity and modern improvements, needs 4,000,000 bathrooms to make farm life even approach the American living standard. “Almost three-fourths of farm homes. 73.5 per cent to be exact lack al] such modern improvements as central heating, lighting and water systems, kitchen sinks, bath rooms and sewage disposal equipment" says the article. “ “Only one-fifth of these homes are completely modern. There, in a nutshell, is an explanation of why industrial and commercial interests are eager to see the fullest prosperity in agriculture instead of being engaged in I keeping prices just high enough to en-i courage farmers to keep on producing but never high enough that farmers' will get prosperous and quit, as is so often charged by dadlcals. “With three fourth of the 6,000,000 farm homes lacking those essentials of an American living standard, there a- 1 waits a market for all these products enough to keep the smoke belching from factory chimneys for years." o To Use American Brakes On All Japanese Railways Tokio, (INS) Because more than 2,000 persons committed suicide in Japan last year by throwing themselves in front of trains and street cars the Railway Ministry has decided to install new American brakes which will permit the trains to stop more , suddenly, thus saving hundreds of ] would-be suicides. ]

Has 49 Accidents In 45 Years Os Life Fergus Falls, Minn., Oct. 31 (UP) j Ninety-eight accidents, some of them I serious but most of them minor, have befallen E. B. Lindgren, formerly of Henning, Minn., during his life time. I Geared atfil tossed into a street by a large Holstein bull, whose tail he , grasped, Lindgren suffered his first mishap at the age of 5. His left leg right arm and collar bone were broken and his body was punctured in many places. Now nt the age of 45 he has heen run over by 37 freight cars and a cabbone. The automobile he was driving was struck by an express train, he drove over a 50-foot embankment with ■ his car, he has all hut chopped off his foot with a hatchet and he has jumped oft the top of a barn with a large umbrella as a parachute breaking his left leg, This happened, at tlte age of 6. He s'umbled over a railroad porter’s stool to rupture a joint in ills spinal column, causing total paralysis from his hips ’ down. But despite ail these mishaps, LindI gren today is representative of the ! Standard Extension of University of Chicago and is recognized as a sales lecturer. Although he has but one atm, he can J drive his car, operate a typewriter at a J speed cf 60 words a minute, and can do . almost everything with one hand. o OBITUARY Charles Funk was born in Pickaway county, Ohio, February 14, 1861. j After a long illness, he departed from life Saturday morning, October 1, 11927, aged 66 years, seven months and 15 days. | In early life, he was married to . E'iza Ratliff, who is left to mourn I the loss of a faithful and devoted husband. He was the father of eight | children, all of whom have preceded I him to the Glory world except three, i namely, Luther and Clark Funk, and I Mrs. Lucy Wlsener. There are also ( 14 grand children, three great grand j children and two brothers and two sisters. His was a life of faithfulness to his j children and family. He was a good neighbor to all. Having reared nine of his grand children as his very own, truly, it can be said, he was a father to the fatherless. He was always working and planning for the interest of his family, more than for himself. Sometime when all life’s lessons have been learned And the sun and stars for ever more have set; The things which our meek judgment here have spurned. The things over which we grieved, with lashes wet. Will flash before us out of life’s dark night— As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue— And we shall see how all of God’s plans were right And how what seemed reproof was love most true. In his last illness, he was a very patient sufferer, but many many times he was heard to say he would be glad when his suffering was ended and he could rest. His last words, whispered to his loved ones at his bedside, were that he was ready to meet his God in peace, and all was well with his soul. Dearest father thou hast left us And our loss we deeply feel. Thou no more will join our number, Thou no more our sorrows share. But. it's God who has bereft us; He can all our sorrows heal, When we leave this world of changes, When we leave this world of cares. God grant we may rest as calmly. When our work like his is done. And we hope to meet thee in Heaven, Where no farewell tears are shed. o ' New License Plates To Be White And Brow n Indianapolis, Oct. 31 (UP) Indiana’s 1928 license plates will be white and brown, white letters and numerals with a brown background. Instead of carrying abbreviated inscription, “Ind. ’27," the number will be spelled out “Indiana 1928.” With two-thirds of a million of these t new style plates fastidious folk who i insist on color harmony in their moi tor cars will just have a case of repainting their horsless-carriages. | Many who dare criticize the beauty I of the plate will have to agree it can by no means be called common. I Throughout the United States the color combination cannot be found in any other 1928 plates. Forty-two states have adopted new colors for new plates to go on Americas 25,000,000 automobiles and 23 different color combinations are to be . found in the lot. Hut Texas alone approaches the Indiana plate with white figures and a«dafk brown background. Five states selected whit background with black lettering, the reverse of Indiana’s present combination. o Save a Dime on your hair cut every day except Saturday.

I American “Yeah” Now Popular In London London (United I’ress The American voice is the latest Interest in UmI don’s fashionable circles. It hus superceeded the Oxford drawl ami the pub- ' He school accent which have reigned supreme in polite English society from time immemorial. Starting in a year ago as a fad by an exclusive clique of West End nightj club goers, the cult of the American I voice and American pronunciation has j spread rapidly. Its growth and popuI larity have been fostered by the increasing number of American actors 'and actresses who are seen on the English stage and who are now being received into even the most impregnable social fastnesses. "Yes" in smart circles has become “yeh,” and to be smart you must slur over most of your vowels and consonants. o COURT HOUSE Marriage Licenses Alva Sudduth, laborer, Decatur route 8, io Helen Hess, Decatur route 3.
