A girl who works In big New York store
was talking to our superintendent OF narcot-

that she and the other girls were in the habit
OF injecting morphine into their arms to brace
themselves up when they were fstiRued. She
said they had only one injector to floor. and
that had to be passed around. Nearly all the
girls used the vile stun. and none OF them
knew OF lie awful after effects.
We directed our inspectors to investigate.
and they proved beyond a doubt that the
practice exists In several Of the larger New
