HUNT HIGH SCHOOLS. FOR GIRL AND BOY

DR.. J. o. Cobb Of the United States
Marine hospital has arranged to care
for SO victims of dope.
What were declared to be the first
arrests under the recently effective
Harrison antelope law were made
today when revenue officers charged
ABE" Jackson and John Pool, both
of Gary, Ind, with violating the new
statute. The men were arrested here
early today.
Arraigned before United States
Commissioner Mason today, Jackson
was held in 81, 800 bond for action by
the grand jury. Pool was set free.
Evidence introduced at hearing to-
day sent federal officers to Gary to
arrest a man named Ford, who is
charged with belonging to a gang of
dope dispensers who cached great
quantities of drugs at Gary and Ham
mOnd.

Washington, March 10. - The
dope" situation in Chicago, as pic
tured by United Press dispatches, is
a mighty good argument" for the
Harrison law, was the comment to-
day of Assn Sec'y Newton of the
treasury department, which is
charged with the statutes enforce
ment.
Because, continued the secretary,
if the "fiends'' are being driven
wholesale to hospitals, it means that
many will be cured.
So far, however, added Newton,
as the use of marine hospitals for
treating the sufferers is concerned,
nothing can be done, since such in
situations are, by law, exclusively for
the use of men in the service.
Surgeon General Blue stated that
the public health service was taking
no hand in meeting the situation;
that the matter was one solely for
local authorities throughout the
country.

VICTIMS OF
An investigation into the report
that dope has been in use among
high school pupils may result in an
investigation by the board Of educa-
ton. DR.. H I. Davis, county physi-
clan, sounded the first warning when
he told of a girl pupil at the MediIl
high school who had become a con-
irmed dope fiend IN one month.
From another source it was learned
that many girls and boys, wearied
from headaches as a result of hard
studying, have become introduced to
cocaine and other drugs after some
user had given them a sample.
'"The girl at the Medil high
school," said DR.. Davis, became ad-
dicted to the habit after some man
had given her some cocaine to cure
a headache. Then she was beauti-
full young girl, one Of the most popu-
lar at MediIl. In a month or so she
was a slave, who sacrificed every
thing for a little shot. "
1t is expected that Investigators
from the Office of Lewis E. Larson,
sec'y of the board Of education, will
start a canvass of the high schools
Immediately. With the drug taken
away as a result of the new Harri-
son law it is easy to tell dope fiend
from their haggard, unsettled ap-
pearance. :.
DR.. Davis also said that the new
dope law is causing untold agony
among the poor addicted to the habit.
Whereas the county hospital used
to treat on an average Of about ten
dope fiends a year, we have now 26
