*1* ' Chateau Life in the lumber country of Indiana has been glamorously translated to the screen with all its outdoor freshness and beauty in a picturization of Gene Stratton-Porter’s famous novel “Freckles,” showing at the Chateau tonight. Tom Brown plays the title role of ‘'Freckles," an appealing story of an orphan boy whose gentle character and steel-edged courage gain him the love of a girl, the admiration of a yougster and the friendship of the townsfolk whom he aids in the capture of a band of lumber bandits. The picture was filmed in the Mother Lode country of California. Hushing streams, giant forests and beautiful scenery are seen thioughout the picture.

in American underworld life is revealed by David W. Maurer of the University of Louisville after years of what he calls “academic snooping.” In a publication by the Columbia University Press, Maure” makes tbe following distinctions between addicts and other underworld characters: 1. Gangsters, racketeers and criminal aristocrats do not use narcotics. When a gangster becomes addicted he is eliminated immediately as he menaces the safety of the organization. 2. Narcotics have little connection with violent crime. 3. The narcotic racket is controlled by gangsters of a vicious type, not addicted themselves, who spread the habit mercilessly to enlarge their market. 4. There is nothing romantic about the life of illusion and misery which the addict leads. The lingo of the addict provides insight into this psychology and his underworld life, according to Maurer. “Coasting,” “floating,” and “to go

on a sleigh ride’ are all expressions to denote the exhilarating sensation produced by cocaine. “All lit up” also indicates the state of being un- ! der the influence of narcotics. The argot of addicts, one of the “languages outside the law,” is the most difficult to investigate, Maurer found. Hostile silence confronted him for several years in his attempt to gain information regarding it. “If safe blowers, pickpockets and short-connors and other underworld professions had developed well-de-fined argots,” Maurer said, “it seemed logical that addicts and peddlers should have developed one of their own.” After several years of work, with information obtained from stoolpigeons and informers employed by authorities, federal agents and physicians, Maurer was able to weave together a representative cross section of 238 terms of the addicts’ professional jargon. He learned that a “circus” is a feigned spasm enacted m public in the hope a physician will administer

narcotics. Other words having related meanings are “Brody,” "cartwheel,” "figure eight,” "twister,” “wing-ding,” To “make a croaker for a reader” is to persuade a physician, by one means or another, to write a prescription for narcotics. Nonaddicts, people with no criminal connections, and taxpayers are “do-right-people." and arc also designated by the term “square John.” A person, not a confirmed addict, who indulges in an occasional shot of dope is called a “joy-popper.” “However, ‘joy-popping’ is usually the beginning of permanent addiction,” comments Maurer. An opium pipe is a “joy stick.” A “panic man” is an addict who is desperate for narcotics because of deprivation. “Since the bodily secretions are dried up by opiates, their absence In the system of a confirmed addict causes an intense and unnatural flow which can be stopped only by further application of narcotics,” Maurer says. “Furthermore, taking an addict off narcotics suddenly often has

a severe aprodisiac efect on him. Hence he is literally ‘in a panic’ for dope. “ ‘Deadwood’ is the thfcig an addict fears most. It means to be trapped by an agent posing as a ‘panic man ’ Many addicts find it difficult to resist a plea for dope from another addict who is desperate. “A ‘bang in the srm' is a shot of narcotic, most commonly morphine or cocaine, injected directly into the vein, as contrasted to “skin shot.’ The term also appears to be generalized. however, and may indicate any injection of narcotics, “When morphine is used, the addict is usually conscious of an unusual and very satisfying clearness of the mind. Cocaine and heroin produce tingling sensations of varying degrees, usually of great intensity and extending over the entire body. This type of shot is not used as a rule by the amateur: the hardened addict uses it almost exclusively.”

Ex-Chief Protests

GLASS COFFIN ON VIEW 12 YEARS NOW TO BE CLOSED ST. LOUIS, (UP) — Joseph Marconnot, now 12 vears dead, appears to have wasted some of his money. Marconnot, descendent of one of the early French settlers of Carondelet. Mo., lived a thrifty and lonely existence for many years so" that he could afford to have his body mummified and placed on public view. According to his desire, the exhibition should be forever. For more than a decade his body has been on view in a mausoleum in a St. Louis cemetery. It rests in a heavy bronze coffin before a glassed window. But now relatives have decided the curious have seen enough of it, and has closed the coffin. Marconnot provided in his will for the preservation and exhibition of his body. He requested that iKbe placed on show only on Catholic fast days, but undertakers left the coffin open all th time, believing light was better than darkness for preserving the body. Several influences are said to have shaped his course. Living almost alone, he often indicated a desire to create a stir, and toward the end of his life, told one of his few acquaintances, “Nobody looks at me now, but after I’m dead I’ll make the world come and see me.” When he died on Dec. 27. 1924. newspapers were devoting much space to the finding of the tomb of King Tutankhamen in Egypt and to

the daily exhibition in Moscow of the body of Nikolai Lenin. The recluse ordered that at least $3,000 be spent on his funeral, and the eventual cost was several hundred dollars more. He left an estate of about $70,000, mostly in property. In the first years after his death, crowds of curious visited his tomb, but since then the throngs have dwindled to a point where relatives felt justified in closing the tomb. Undertakers say. however, that if generations a hundred years hence wish to view Marconnot his body will still be there, perfectly preserved.
