WAR AGAINST TOBACCO HAD SMALL EFFECT Sixty-two Billion Cigarets Were Manufactured Here in 1921. WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. —The various campaigns waged against tobacco in the past year ha<l little effect c>n the production and consumption of the ••weed” in this country. The enormous amount of *"•- 000,000,000 cigarettes were produced in this country in 1920, of which 46.000,000.000 were consumed here and the remainder exported. This does not take Into account the number of cigarette? consumed by smokers who ‘Toll their own.” In addition to the vast amount of cigarettes produced in 1020. 20,515.090 cigars and 3.970.56S pounds of smoking, plug an i twist tobacco were turned out. KEMK RY HAD BIG \JELI>. Kentucky, with 530,000 acre? and 467,500.000 puunds in 1920. led all tobaccoproducing State?, followed by North Carolina, with ”S2.<XO acres and 354.17>\COO pounds and Virginia with 243.00) acre- and 177.390.tXX) pounds. Prior to the Civil War, Virginia led all other States in producing tobacco, but Kentucky usurped this distinction in 1869 and ha. led the field since. The estimated average yield per sere for the United States m ib-'• was Tbd pounds. c> :up*.rc;i to 761 for 7919. Yields for the several States vary greatly, ranging from 1,510 pounds for Pennaylvania to 600 pounds for Georgia. As. a rule, higher yields are detained in localities producing the hlgh-pri- ed types used in the manufacture of cigars. Although the United States is the greatest t baceo producing and manufacturing country in the world, considerable quantities of both unmanufactured tobacco and tolacco products are imported. The leaf imported is mostly devoted to the manufacture of high grade cigars and certain brands of cigarettes. Cuba is the greatest contributor of leaf tobacco to the United States. I’LEN TY OF TOBACCO FACTORIES. The number of tobacco factories in this country is pproxlmately 15,791, of which 11.485 m ajfa aire cigars. 237 cigarettes and 1.871 tobacco and snuff. New York has the iargt-st number of tobacco manufacturing con> --ms, followed by Pennsylvania. Illinois. Ohio and Wisconsin in the order named. Asa revenue bringer to Uncle Sam. tobacco ranks among the foremost, bringing in 8294,267.000 n 1 92’* in the various of tobac:o taxes. T,:is was an increase of more than over that of 1919. which, ir. turn, was iarg-.-r than that reported so.- any prior year.

SEEK TO PLANT DRUG HABIT IN BOYS AND GIRLS Ped 1 ■ Give iway ‘( oke’ to School Children, Sa? s ( onfessed Addict. SYRACUSE. X.

Ir-e of chary. to that they vviil a< quire the drug habit.' Knepton. arrested r.s :t drug Toddler, declared he had formed the habir in a Brooklyn high school in 1913. He denied that he had ever sold drugs. FOUGHT LOSG TO BE FREE. According to his jfory. Knepton has been making a long and unsuccessful fight to rid himself of the habit, acquired. he said, when fellow high school students offer* and him the drug. “When I tit' - : acquired the habit 1 never had to buy any drugs. Every one of the addicts cr peddlers that you would meet in poolrooms and dance hails would gladly give you u littie cocaine or heroin to fir you up till you had acquired the habit and had to have s< tne every day. Then they refused to give it any more, but would offer to sell some or would suggest where vou could buy It. I know several handsome, innocent young girls who acquired the habit in public dance halls, where they met addicts and peddlers. The peddlers would even make love to them in order to get them Into the habit. No longer able to get money by other means, timse girls soon became disreputable in order to get enough money with which to get their needed dope. HABIT BROKEN IN ARMY. F’nallv it became very hard to get *i mars. I came to Syracuse and got a poritton on the New York Central as a trainman. I broke the habit. I enlisted in the United Slates Army April 2, 1918. went overseas, served on three fronts and returned home on May 13. 1919. I returned to Syracuse and started in again as brskeman. Then the railroad strike cam# on. and I was out of work. 'One day during that period I was sitting in Fayette Park and saw several addicts come there to take their ‘shots.’ Discouraged, it created the old longing in ir.e and I bought some cocaine from a peddler to forget my troubles. “On Nov. 1. 1920, I was appointed to the Syracuse police force. I tried to make good, but everywhere I went I rnn into addicts who knew me and threw slurs at me as a hypocrite and threatened to squeal to my superiors This discouraged me. I again took to morphine and 1 cocaine. I “While on the force I was taking from ■four to five grains daily, costing mo Itliree dollars. Finally the habit had l-iich a strong hold on me and the adKicta In the city Jeered me so that It became unbearable, and on Sept. 18. 1921 I resigned from the force. Drugs wrecked me mentally and physically. I have an Idea that some of the addicts informed some of my fellow officers of my condition.” iSouth Bend Couple I Dead in Terre Haute I Special to The Time*.

Get German Codes From Sunken Boats | LONDON. Dec. 28.- A fascinating ac- , j count of how sunken U-boats were made jto yield up their secrets was told rt !

Describing the methods adopted Sdf Frederick said that each enemy Mibmni rin carried codes, operation orders and i other material of the utmost value ti England, which was obtained by the English in the most extraordinary auxiliary to war Intelligent service ever : formed. This was composed of divers and i other salvage experts selected from the I Admiralty salvage section, which, organ- [ tzed as a Bpecial branch, dealt with salvage as a whole. Whenever an enemy submarine was sunk the salvage branch was told off to overhaul her. In very few cases was the boat raised. The divers went down to her as she lay, cat their way Into her Interior and then searched her thoroughly. It was extremely dangerous, ill (lieu It and sometimes grevso no work. It often i had to be done at great depths, anil the | divers crawled about the sea bottom in ; inky darkness performing their task as I best they could. i Much information of the utmost value j In combating the U-boat offensive was obtained. It was this submarine branch that also unearthed the secret of the German mug j netlc torpedo, letting the world Into the : secret of a grave menace to shipping.
