White and Colored Drug Users

7 INTERESTING as is the report Of the phv-
l sician in charge of the drug-cure ward at
the City Home, it cannot be taken as basis
upon which to formulate statistics concern
ing the use of drugs in Richmond Accord
ing TO Dr. EZekiel's report, Of the thirty
eight habitual users OF drugs who have APP
Piled for treatment, thirty-seven have been
white. Judged by this scale, the number of
white habtuals is vastly greater than the
number OF negro habituas.
But it must be borne in mind that these
nave sought 4 cure for their disease only
since the Federal antinarcotic law went into
effect under the provisions of which many
drugs that, before that time might be pur-
chased openly may now be dispensed only
upon doctors prescriptions The Harrison
act affects very little the most degraded class
of drug-uscrs in this community and the
larGest-thc cocaine sniffers. For number
OF years. the State law has forbidden the sale
OF cocaine. eucaine and their derivatives ex-
cept under careful restrictions so that the
Federal law is merely cumulative as to them.
II 1t were possible to estimate the number
OF cocaine snifers, who now. as before obtain
tho drug from sinking statesmen of the
underworld, the proportion would, in all
probability. be reversed. Certainly, the list
OF hahituals would be increased many times

A Wild West
Girl Abroad
By DELLA BREWERTON

Helen Gorton was u ranch girl. She
was born on her fathers ranch and
lived on it till she was fourteen years
Of age, then was sent east to school.
She was no great student. not because
1t was hard for her to learn, but be-
cause she was pining for the wild life
Of the west.
At eighteen she returned to her home
and resumed her former habits. She
was an excellent shot and rider and
could stand any amount Of exposure.
by campfire under a tree she slept
more comfortably than in a bed.
Helen was obstinate When she was
twenty and announced to her father
that she was going to Europe to visit
SO much he knew that it would be use
less to attempt to stop her.
When Helen departed she was es,
corted to a railroad station some TWEEN

dozen or more cowboys. each one Of

one on either side Of the strait of Gil
braltar, and landed not many miles
from the base of Vesuvius. When a
month had passed she had not yet left
Naples. She made acquaintances rap
idly, but so unconventional were her
ways in that land Of conventionality
for women that members of her own
sex, even though they understood her
and looked upon her as being a thor
oughly good girl. did not dare counte-
nance her.
This troubled her. Why it was that
innumerable men were markedly at
tentive to her and few women seemed

to care to he intimate with her she
could not understand. One elderly
American lady who realized her limo.
cence endeavOred to caution her by
telling her that In land full OF crimi-
mails 1t was not safe to go about alone
Helen did not know what fear was
and. misunderstanding the purpOrt of
the caution. continued to go about
without n chaperon.
But one day her eyes were opened
very suddenly and very wide. While
visiting Pompeii with party she over
heard an Italian prince make dlsparag-
ing remarks about that American
girl" 1t being plain that he referred to
her. She was not only wounded In
spirit. but indignant, the former feel
ing giving place to the latter. She
had once confronted grizzly bear,
which. for reasons best known to 1t.
self. retreated on sight. but had been
brought down by ball from her rife.
She did not regard Prince Leonardo di
Giuda as formidable as the grizzly, and
she was not sufficiently versed in for
eign ways to know that 1t was not
considered lady's part to protect her
good name by mans methods.
Helen concealed the fact that she
had overheard the slurring remark and
finished her visit to Pompeii without
any one knowing that she was hot with
Indignation. On the way back to Ma
Piles she asked one Of the gentlemen
OF the party. an Italian, what he would
do to man who had spoken con
temptuousiy of n woman he loved and
respected. He replied that he would
call the man out under the code duello
The next morning Di Giuda received
a note written in feminine hand and
signed III. Co." asking him to meet
her in certain retired spot that she
named on the outskirts of Naples that
night at II o'clock. Without the sign
ed initials Di Giuda would have look
ed upon the note as a trap to enable
some one to rob him. He was not sure
the note was genuine; but, with his
opinion Of Helen Gorton, he thought 1t
very probable 1t was. He decided to
grant the interview.

Elastic concrete ties Of great
strength, holding nails and bolts bet

German railway product. Ties of iron
and steel have been used to some ex-

proved disappointing. The new con-

! Bigelow is now addressing crowds
daily and nightly from his auto
mobile. At night he uses stere-
opticon to illustrate the points of his
speech. A reference by him to the
fact that Jesus spoke on street cor
ners drew fire from Charles p. Taft,

and what it called Bigelow's message

longs to the city and should be taken,
