Name.,,. I, n Packages Analyzed For Drug Contents Seattle, Apr. 3 (U.R) Feder al narcotic bureau chemists to day were analyzing the contents of 16 packages believed to con tain morphine. A. B. Chisler, director of the local federal narcotics bureau, said two men were being held in connection with the seizure, and two other men escaped des pite shots fired at them by agents. Crisler said three agents made arrangements to buy narcotics from four peddlers. The sale was to take place Saturday night. He said the men met each oth er in their autos, remaining in the cars while the transactions occurred. One of the arrested men handed the 16 packages from his car to the agent's ve hicle. But when the trio of agents tried to seize the peddlers, two leaped from the car and disap peared in tne aaricness. - If the contents of the packages prove to be morphine, its value will be about $150,000 and one of the largest seizures in tne Pacific northwest, Chrisler said. Using of Prisoners On Jobs Protested Several county officials here to day formally protested a ciacKa mas county grand jury's recom mendation that long-term coun ty jail prisoners be employed on county road crews. The grand jury report sajd prisoners might be used in "manual and gainful work out side the county jail on county roads and county projects." It reported to Circuit Judge Ralph M. Holman Friday. Two members of the county court and a representative of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal employes have objected. County Judge E. L. Pope said the plan is imprac tical because prisoners escape and the cost is prohibitive. Commissioner Stan Skoko added that the county would have to furnish additional guards and meals in voicing his objection.

"Camels have a mildness all their own and they're welcome to my throat." f Out o? By J?m Sawdust Walls i Fred Cassidy not Hopalong has been having heating troubles all winter; as who hasn't? Fred deserves our aid and comfort, for he is one of the best friends go ing, to both writers and log gers. He is a crack salesman for a big book store, and this is a business that takes both words and trees, making jobs in the timber and at the typewriter. I hear from a neighbor of Cassidy's that he has a gas-fired furnace in his new home that cost him 60 hard bucks a month to fuel during the past six cold months. And now he is explor ing all the angles on what to do about it before another cold season breaks. This, of course, is the smart thing for any house dweller to do. Now in the spring is the time to start work on the winter heat ing problem. Insulation is one answer. The cheapest and most efficient form is sawdust, if it is good and dry and flea-free when applied to ceiling and walls. It's been in my own ceiling for 25 years. Works fine. Nothing wrong with it that I can see. I urge it on Mr. Cassidy. But first, I recommend his reading one of the books that he sells from the stacks in his own store. 'Home Repairs Made Easy' At other times in this space I've enthused over $7 worth of information for the house own er in a giant book put out by Doubleday. Mr. Cassidy sells it, I know, but I have a hunch he has never read it. He should do so now, turning to the heating section, where he will find that the first necessity for gas-fired heat is "a tight house." That means insulation to the utmost. And this, according to "Home Repairs Made Easy," means a basement snugged in with storm windows and doors and strip ma terials. If there is no basement, and if there is room to hunker up and hammer in the crawl space under the floor, then nail paper and shiplap to the joists from underneath. When the floor sits high on short studs that rise from plates on base ment wall or foundation, paper and lumber sheeting are called for to make inside walls. The simple, plain, low-cost shiplap board has been backed off the map in many a building area by expensive and high-powered promotion for manufac tured forms of insulation. But it is really hard to beat an inch of nature's wood for insulation val ue. In this value the wood inch is superior to the brick foot or the concrete foot. No other form of insulation is easier to apply. I make the statement out of some expensive experience. And add that shiplap insulation increases the structural strength of the house. As the Sparks Fly Upward aA. nicVJbODS GHSjfo. The sun also rises, and so does heat of any kind. Fred Cassidy needs to consider this fact in relation to his attic floor and house roof, just as he needs to wall off the cold winds from his first floor, in tackling his heat ing problem. Up here again I say "Sawdust in the ceiling joists" as an an swer to the problem that has worked well in my house for 25 years. Another that I've tested at my own expense is the dou ble roof of red cedar shingles. Never put composition shingles on cedar, though they sweat and rot the good wood. These are pointers that are missed in the big book, "Home Repairs Made Easy," that I rec ommend from the store stock of Fred Cassidy. Anyhow, now's the time to go into action on next winter's need for insulation. Trip to Woodshed Probably Followed Salem, Ore., Apr. 3 (U.R) The telephone operator heard a young voice scream Sunday night: "Give me the police de partment, quick!" A woman's scream was heard in the background. Then the con nection was broken. The operator traced the call and relayed the information to police. Two squad cars sirened to the scene. Officers ran to the door and knocked. A woman an swered. "Yes." said the woman, "my son called the police for help when I told him to brush his teeth before he went to bed. I screamed at him and cut off the phone." Officers were led to the bed room where the youngster, about six, took one quick look and dived under the covers. The mother assured investigat ing officers that the youngster had had his brush with his teeth as well as with the law, Toledo Sawmill Strike Settled Toledo, Ore., Apr. 3 (U.R) A strike of AFL Lumber and Saw mill Workers at the C.
