Some Druggists Careful.

But l want to add" continued Chief
Barlow, that there are many drug
stores in Salt Lake that will not sell
DOPE and that very carefully examine
prescriptions in which either morphine or
cocaine are included before they let them
pass to a customer. They are conducted
by the honest and law-abiding class OF
druggists who very vigorously oppose
the sale of drugs Unfortunately, as they
know that it leads TO the encouragement
of the criminal element"
As Chief Barlow continued his analysis
of the effect Of the open dope shop
apOthecary upon the criminal element he
stated that at least 30 per cent Of the
crooks that sooner or later find their
way into the city jail are habitual drug
fiends. This he explained as conclusive
argument that unrestricted drugs estab-
lish harbOrS for criminals.
As near as can be figured at police
headquarters, about 50 per cent OF the
drug element are women and the remain
der males. Probably 20 per cent of users
of morphine and cocaine are girls ano
boys under % years of age. Dazzled by
reports Of the soothing effect Of a drug
they have taken doses when young, sim
pIy because drugs are easy to get in Salt
Lake and then have finally become
slaves. developing into hOldups, yegg
men. shoplifters and all other phases OF
