Indianapolis.—Legal traffic tn narcotic drugs in Indiana Is decreasing, the state pharmacy board believes. It observes that the number of prescriptions for such drugs is decreasing. In a recent report the board said: “The number of addicts is now almost negligible. This condition has been brought about by constant surveillance and the system of reports required of druggists. With the disappearance of the whisky drug stores from the state, the business of the balance is of a very high standard. The narcotic evil is in a great measure disappearing, and many druggists have announced their intention of discontinuing the handling of narcotics entirely.* Nashville.—Federal agents, assisted by the sheriff of Brown county, arrested Rev.

FILMS SAVE TIME Put to Good Use by Department of Agriculture. Pictures of Educational Vidue May Be Borrowed From the Government at Little Expense. The motion picture is a time saver. Stippose a county agent is showing a group of farmers how to construct a wooden silo; with the motion-picture outfit he can show them in 15 minutes what it would take him days to show by actual demonstration.. Suppose a home-demonstration agent wishes to show a model kitchen in Massachusetts to a group of farm women in Nebraska. A trip from the Great Plains to the North Atlantic is not . necessary. The thing can be done in a few minutes with the motion-picture projector and a reel of films. The United States Department of Agriculture is using the motion picture in a great many ways. Films already made cover 112 agricultural subjects. There are 460 reels, or more than 460,000 feet of film available for distribution. All of this film Is In circulation, most of It constantly. During the past 12 months more than 700,000 persons saw one or more of these films. The films were in use, not only by the extension workers and othdr” employees of the department, but by state colleges of agriculture, farm bureaus, chambers of commerce, womens’ clubs and various other organizations, as well as commercial motion-picture houses. • Persons desiring to use any of these films can borrow them if they comply with some necessary regulations. Applications can be made through the county agent, the director of extension of state agricultural coll««j .or any other officially co-operating ■agency. The borrower does not*'have to pay anything for the use of the films, except the coxt of transportation. The whole matter is explained in detail in Department Circular 114, which has just been printed and copies of which may be had free. This circular gives a list of all the motion-pic-ture reels, it explains in detail the borrowing process, it outlines the procedure for those who would rather buy than borrow, it tells how to select a projector, and setV forth the advantages of the various kinds. It discusses lights and screens, and it gives definitions of words that motion-pic-ture users should know, \ “Bee§” Fooled Napoleon. ] Napoleon was not satisfied with the fleur-de-lys, when he came to the throne of France, as a royal emblem. He desired something more ancient, and in seeking It he saw what was 1 supposed to be a handful of gold bees, their wings encrusted with a red stone of no great value, but rich in its pure crimson. The “bees” were scattered on a green cloth, and Najioleon inquiring into their origin, was told they had been found in the grave of Childeric when It was opened in 1653. This-was ancient enough for the new emperor, and he Ordered that they be adopted as the imperial emblem forthwith. The facts are, that what was held to be golden bees were in reality mere ornamentations, scattered on the harness of horses, especiallj- war horses, so that in parades they would glitter as much as their mailed masters. A few bearing what was thought to be wire legs were in reality those that retained the wire -.devices for fastening them to the leather or trappings. They have since been known as “fleurons.” The original “bees” discovered in the tomb had been sent as a; curiosity to Louis XIV. Cars to Be Run by Sugar Power. Sugar as a source of alcohol for use as motor fuel was predicted by Admiral Dumas at the Imperial motor transport conference, held at Olympia, London. He looked forward, he said, to sugar being a by-product of coal and alcohol becoming the main product.- Similarly with wine. He hoped to see wine the by-product and alcohol the main product. The admiral added that he welcomed the “Pussyfoot” campaign, as it might set free sources of alcohol now wasted in wines and spirits. “I should like to see,” he declared, j “a prominent government official hanging on every lamp-post where gas is burned owing to the loss of benzol Incurred in the burning of coal to produce gas.” Springs a Leak. After gaining a reputation among fishermen apd camping parties by many years of reliable behavior, Pamella lake, in the mountains of western Oregon, suddenly sprung a leak last summer like a punctured basin, according to an article in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Toward the end of the season the water surface had shrunk to a few acres, all the rest having drained out through fissures in the bottom, enlarged, apparently, by some subterranean disturbance. r, Explain This. “Pop!” “Yes, my son.” “Doesn’t eating satisfy the appetite?” ? , “Oh, yes, my boy.” - x - “Well, why Is it then the more a man eats tlie more appetite lie is said to have?” Bang!
