I. N. Robinson, who met his death
in an automobile accident near Ridg-

himself was the victim of a serious
railroad accident several years ago
when employed as trainman on the
Rio Grande Southern system. The
train he was on was wrecked and
Nichols came out of the debris badly
crushed and with but few chances for
life. He was saved however after a
long struggle at the company's hos
pital in salida and later brought suit
for damages against the railroad
company. Nichols was awarded $15,-
900 damages in the lower courts and
the case was appealed to the supreme
court by the company The lower
court was finally sustained by the
supreme court and Nichols eventually
handed check for the $15, 900 with
interest at the rate Of six per cent
from time of allowance in the lower
court. This was one of the very few
instances where the Individual gets

Drug Addicfs.

Since the passage of the Harrison
narcotic law, numerous statements
have appeared in newspapers and
medical journals regarding the num-
Der of drug addictS in the United
States. Most of these statements are
mere guesses, no accurate data exist
ing en- which to base any careful es-
Inmates. Certainly the maximum fig
ures given by some writers are great
ly exaggerated. In a recent issue of
the Scientific American, Lucfus P.
Rrown, food and drug commissioner of
the state of Tennessee. furnishes data
ON which to base more or less
accurate estimate
From figures derived from the oper-
alton Of the food and drug laws OF
Tennessee. Commissioner Brown es-
Inmates that there are approximately
5000 drug addictS in that state As
Tennessee comprises about two and
one-thfrd per cent of the entire pop
ulation of the country, this would in
dicate that there are about 2aosGG9
drug a6dicts in the United States.
But" says Mr. brown. Tennessee
being an agricultural state and there
fore decidedly more free from such
addtcts tt1en those states where the
pressure of modern life IS harder. we
should add ten per cent at least to
this number on the assumption that
the drug addGcts throughout the coun-
try Will average ten per cent higher
than IN Tennessee. giving in round
numbers $4,000 drug victims for the
entire counrry' On these figures
he concludes that 25o.oG0 is a max
inum estimate and that the sddIcts
annually use aboue S63@o3,03o worth OF
drugs unnecessarily
These figures, as Mr. Blown says
are bad enough but they are very DIFF
ferent from the two or two and one
half million drug a,d6icts which have
been claimed by some sensational
writers. This estimate quoted by the
Journal of the American Medica
Association IS interesting. though. be
ing based on figures from a single
state, It mus be regarded as only ar
