ELECTRICITY IS USED CHIEFLY IN CITY HOMES Indiana Ranks Twelfth in Electrical Development Among States. More than three-fourths of the homes In Indianapolis, and more than one-third of the homes in Indiana are lighted by means of electricity, according to a survey Just completed by the Indiana Public Utility Association. Figures, as of Jan. 1, 1922, show that there arc 248.000 Indiana residences with electric lights, that number being an increase of 11. b per cent more than Jan. 1, 1921. The State ranks .twelfth among all the States with regard to electrical develepment, Illinois being first, with California, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio coming next In order. Development In Indianapolis, however, is far ahead of that in the State generally. Slightly In excess of 65.000 Indianapolis homes are wired for electric service and have meters working. Tbts Is more than one-fourth of the total for the State as a whole. There are in Indianapolis, according to the latest estimate by the postal authorities 84.314 homes in the city, which would Indicate more than three-fourths receive electric service. This business is divided between the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company and the Merchants Heat and Light Company, almost exclusively. The two com panics employ a total of 857 people In producing and selling electrical energy. In the State at large it is estimated there are more than 5.000 people engaged in the electrical Industry, a questionnaire answered by' members of the Indians Public Utility Association showing 3,655 persons employed by thirty-three companies. This estimate does not include municipal plants. The privately-owned companies reported a total of 8,082 stock holders and security owners. Companies throughout the State are preparing to Increase their facilities as rapidly as they can obtain additional capital. In order to meet the Increasing demand for electric service. A wellknown local authority estimates the electric companies of the State will require new capital amounting to about $15,000.000 a year to keep up with the demand for service in the next few years. It is estimated nationally the new capital requirement of the electrical industry is three--quarters of a billion dollars a year.

One or two trees are already In bloom, he said today. Last year the blooms came earlier than this, and the frost and low temperature killed them.

Rubber Industry Has ‘Come Back’ to Prosperity Basil

AKRON, Ohio, March 28—The rubber Industry—a barometer of the nation's prosperity—has ‘‘come back," officials of the biggest tire manufacturing companies, declared today. Tlie war time boom city, the first to feel the depression pinch now indicates the country’s return to prosperity days—business officials here Baid. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company considered on the financial rocks last summer, In an annual nt>ort Just announced shows a production of 22,000 tires daily and a net earning of nearly $1,000,000 a month. “Increased automobile production, increased expenditures by automobile users

AMERICAN WOMAN FOREMOST IN WAR ON OPIUM HABIT Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DREXEL. WASHINGTON, March 28.—Mrs. Hamilton Wfight will leave next Tuesday on the Mauretania for a meeting of the opium advisor- committee of the League of Nations, which will ineclf Aprn u' and for a week or ten days after. On the eve of her departure for Geneva (stopping off In London en route), I asked Mrs. Wright to say something about the dangers of the drug traffic and how they might be overcome. First, It should be explained that Mrs. Wright, though the mother of a debutante daughter and several younger chil- j dren, Is now the foremost American in ' the fight tc rid the world of the opium ! evil. In keeping‘up this battle, she is following in the footsteps of her hus- ■ band, the late Dr. Wright, who, appointed by President Roosevelt, on various international commissions, succeeded in making the United States the leader in stamping out this curse of mankind. Dr. Wright was the father of the Harrison narcotic act. Mrs. Wright accompanied him to three international conferences held at The Hague and to Shanghai. He died In 1917. His widow has been indefatigable In keeping up his work. She again visited the Orient to study conditions since the war; she was In Paris during tbe peace conference, when in Article 23 of the covenant of the League of Nations, the opium quew was entrusted to the! league. Small wonder, then that Mrs. Wright was asked to serve on the opium advisory committee created by the league. She Is not serving as an American; she made that very clear in view of America's repudiation of the leng*ue. But she was appointed by the Council of the League as one of three experts In addition to representatives of eight nations primarily interested In the opium trade— Great Britain, India, China, Japan, Slam, Portugal, France and Holland. Mrs. Wright said she had had word that representatives V Serbia and Germany also would be added. It Is diff. ’ult in a brief article to give even a resume of the diffi-

and increased Income to make possible that expenditure Is Indicated, E. G. Wiliner, president, declared. “Tho present business has far surpassed that of a year ago.” Views of other officials In tbe Industry were: “There will be no further wholesale lay .offs for Akron Rubber workers,” W. F. O’Neil, general mangaer of General Tire and Rubber Company, said. "Sales are increasing,” Firestone Tiro and Rubber Company reported. Miller Rubber Company and I>. F. Goodrich, reported increased sales. In addition, bank cleraings for the last few weeks have shown consistent Increases over the week before.

culties of the opium situation as Mrs. Wright outlined In her statement Mrs. Wright thinks the opium question should have come up in the recent Washington conference. But It did not, except in the giving back to the Chinese of their postoffices recently in control of Japan. Through these foreign postoffices great quantities of drugs, grown from the poppy iu China and then manufactured in Japan and other countries, found their way back to China. The drug question has two particular angles of special concern In the United Plates, the growing menace of drugs to our own population, and the other, its strangle-hold on China. According to Mrs. Wright, you cau't help China to her feet without helping to rid her of the insidious poppy. A long step in the control of manufacture and sale of drugs throughout the world had been taken through signing of international agreements before the war, in which America was a leader, but all this progress was upset by the confusion of the World War. “Today America consumes more drugs per capita than any other country,” Mrs. Wright said. “But it is impossible to do anything without acting iu conjunction with other nations, because India, Turkey, Persia ‘and China are today the great poppy growing countries of the world. Most of the harmful narcotic drugs menacing mankind are manufactured from this poppy in still other countries. The only solution is to restrict the growing of the poppy to the medicinal needs of various nations. Then you have the drug evil by the throat. You control at the source, and that Is the only method.” “But alas,” said Mrs. Wright, “America refuses to cooperate with other nations on this question nor even to answer questions. At the meeting of the opium advisory committee, with which I affiliated last May in Geneva, we decided to send a questionnaire to all governments. This was to determine the basis for future action. But I understand the United States Government has not even answered tbe questionnaire. “In view of tbe growing evil of drugs In this country which can only b restricted by nations acting together, what Is America going to do about it?” asks Mrs. Wright on the eve of her departure to the scene where other nations will strive to cepe with this menace to mankind. —Copyright, 1922 by Public Ledger Company.

LEATHER DUTY THREATENS BIG * CONGRESS ROW Senate Proposal to Cause Boost in Shoe Prices if Retained. WASHINGTON, March 28.—Senate Finance Committee action in putting a duty on hides, boots, shoe* and leather Is destined to start a fight In Congress the consequences oi which may be an great as those of the row a decade ago over “schedule K” In the bill. The proposed tariff, If retained, will make shoes cost from 30 to CO cent? a pair more than at present, according to authoritative figures furnished today. Representative Hawley, Oregon, formerly for such a tariff, now is strongly opposed to It. As the tariff bill passed the House, hides, boots, shoes and leather were on the free list. The Senate Finance Oommlttee Republicans. however, determined on a 15 per cent ad valorem duty on hides, a 10 per cent ad valorem on boots and shoes and 10 to 25 per cent on leather. Hawley figures only the packer-tan-ner would benefit from the new regime. The farmer-stockman vould get an estimated $34,000,000 for his products, but he and his farm workers would have to pay $38,600,000 more for their products than would bo the case under a free listing. He estimates the average Increase in the price of shoes would be 40 cents a pair. In addition to the hides battles, there will be a fight oti the sugar schedule and probably on the lumber shedule. Louisiana. the great cane growing state, wishes 2 cents a pound duty on Cuban sugar, while the Finance Committee Repqbilcans have fixed the rate at 1.16 cents a pound. Likewise, the Louisiana growers are displeased with the mild treatment accorded blackstrap molasses used lor feeding cattle. SHE DARKENED HER GRAY HAIR Tells How She Did It With a HomeMade Remedy. Mrs. E. H. Boots, a well-known resident of Buchanan County, la., who darkened her gray hair, made the following statement: “Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray or faded hair, and make It soft and glossy with this simple remedy, which they can mix at home. To half a pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, one small bex of Barbo Compound and Vi ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be purchased ' at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair every other day | until the gray hair is darkened sufficiently. It does not color the Bcalp, Is not greasy and does not rub off. It will make a gray-haired person look twenty years younger.”— I Advertisement.

Fear for Life of Lenin to Keep Him From Genoa

BERLIN, March 28.—“ Nicolai Lenin has neither cancer nor kidney trouble, nor in fact any other serious ailment, but his nerves are badly shaken from years of overwork, terrific strain and responsibility.” This was the statement made here by Klara Zetkein, SO, radical member of the Reichstag, who has just returned from Moscow with Karl Radek, a member of the Soviet. Continuing her Interview, she said: “At tbe recent meeting of the Third Internationale in Moscow I heard Lenin make one of the most lucid speeches It ever has been my good fortune to listen to. Undoubtedly, he is a bundle of nerves, but reports of his serious illness might be attributed to political propaganda. “The mission In Soviet Russia of Dr. Felix Klemperer, the German specialist, ’is not connected with Lenin at all. He went to Russia to work In the famine district.” Advices direct from Moscow said that
