CHAIN 90 FEET LONG
AND A FOOT in DIAMETER
Seniors Observe Old Custom
in Honor of Class
Day.

Pretty Miss Marion Carpenter Riker,
daughter of well-l1nown Maplewood

cred by the students. There were
twenty four bearers. They were led by
Florence Dorothy Wadhams, of Pitts
from the main building to the library
steps, where it was arranged in front
of the seniors, who were already
seated.
The senior tree ceremony followed
the address of welcome by the class
president, Martha Pattison Bowie, of
Richmond, Va, and the formal class
singing. The daisy chain was again
lifted on the shoulders of it's pretty
sophomore bearers, who led the pro-
cession around the library to the north
side, where the senior class tree is To-
Gated. The chain was arranged in
huge circle around the tree, and within
this the seniors marched until each
one had thrown flower into the grave
of the class records.
The spade used in the interment was
presented by May Margaret Bevier. of
New Brunswick, secretary of the
senior class, to Ruth Elizabeth Pres
ley who made an address of accept
ance on behalf of the Junior class. The
class day song was written by Pauline
Angel, of Waverly, N. Y, and set to
music by Clara Foss. The words of
the tree song were by Miss Angel and
the music by Henrietta Buchler, of Ell
Paso, Tex.
The class history was given in dia-
logue by Georgianna Tichenor, Isle OF

) Previous to the passing of THE
EVENING STARS anti-cocaine law
the conditions were declared to be
worse in Newark than anywhere else
in the country When the law was
enacted the doctors and investigators
reported that there had been luIl in
the use of cocaine, particularly among
children.
But those who had made fat living
off of the sale of the dangerous poison
remained idle only short time. Many
doctors have lately reported the prev
alence of cases where children have
been found in stupor from the use
of cocaine. On being questioned. when
they became normal, they invariably
said that they had purchased the drug
from men, either in the parks or along
the streets. In each case il was said
that the little victim had paid five cents
for a "snin" of the drug. One such
sniff" taken into the nostrils as is
snuff, renders the little victim irresporl-
sible. 1t has the effect OF unduly ex-
citing the brain and giving the user a
sense of exhilaration, which Is mo-
mentarily pleasing. But as the effect
of the drug wears off the nerves are
left unstrung and the victim is for the
time being a nervous and physical
wreck. This leads to the taking of an
other dose of the drug, and before long
the system is permanently undermined
The large number of these cases
We're reported to THE EVENING
STAR. and this paper has been cooper

were the first result of the crusade.
An effort was made to learn from
Walsh, who was specifically Identified
by Patrolman Gaffney as one of the
men who had been selling shifts" of
cocaine to children where he obtained
the drug. II is believed that the men
who have been selling the drug pro

their supplies from the large drug
manufacturing firms of Philadelphia
and New York.

The cocaine habit, which degenerates
its victim, became so prevalent among
some children Of the city that they
would do anything to obtain the drug
Many children were ia the police courts

and they even sold and pawned the
clothes off their backs to satisfy their
cravings for the drug.
The sale of cocaine became so .proflta-
