"DRUGKING" SENT
TOATLANTAPR|SON;;
USED FAKE CURE

NEW YORK, July 13-Convicted of
operating a bogus sanitArium for drug
users and of secretly importing heroin
and other narcotics for distribution
throughout the East, DR.. Riley Z.
Hammers. a wealthy physician. Vas
sentenced yesterday afternoon by Fed
eral Judge Hand to two years and
nine months in Atlanta Federal prison
and to pay a fine Of S2.ooo.
Although Hammers operated from
Florida, his arrest came in this city
when Revenue Agents Yancy and
Dobbs, Of Inspector Nuts squad.
trapped him. and. with every word
being recorded by a dictaphone, got
him to arrange for the sale of large
quantity OF heroin and cocaine.
Seventeen thousand fve hundred
dollars worth of smuggled drugs
which he had clinched the case
against him, and $500. 900 worth which
was discovered stored IN his sani-
tarium made Hammers give up all
hope.
This sanitarium was at Tampa, and
was supposed to be a place for curing
drug addicts, but the revenue agents
found that instead OF curing people
there, Hammers was selling them the
drugs.
His profits were enormous-s30 and
$40 an ounce being paid him oy
secret retailers OF narcotics.
In urging a heavy sentence for
him, Assistant United States Attorney
John c. Knox told the court that In
running the youth Of the country
Hammers did more harm to the Gov
eminent of the United States than
could any hostile agent. He declared
him to be the most extensive dealer
In narcotics ever seized.

GOTOCATERPILLAR
TOLEARN TO DANCE,
IS EXPERTS ADVICE

The Biblical injunction to ego to
the ant, thou sluEgard, consider his
ways and be wise" has been i'm
proved on by Elise DuFour, inter
pretive dancer, who, in a brief talk
to the Arts Club. advised her auditors
also to consider the ways OF the cat,
the caterpillar, the frog, the bear,
and the birds.
"All the world is rhythmic except
man." said Miss DuFour, whose real
name is Mrs. Nash. He alone is out
of harmony, and the rhythmic dance
is the way to put him in tune.
I'VE should go to the cat to learn
to loosen the bones OF the spine; to
the caterpillar to learn to curl up
and uncurl from the center: to the
frog to learn the proper articulation
OF the leg.
Bear Teaches Hip Motion.
I'VE should go TO the bear to learn
from his easy lope the proper articu-
lation OF the hip Joints. From the
birds we may learn the flying rhythm,
and one sings as one files. There are
many animal rhythms that we might
study with much proft"
Miss DuFour was one of three
speakers at the Arts Club lawn party
yesterday evening, the others being
ossip Peralma, Russian portrait paint
er, and Edwin Callow, singer. The
subject for the evening was What
is Legitimate in Art
The talk of Mr.. Peralma contained
as much patriotism as art, and he
made frequent reference to the bonds
of fellowship uniting this country and
the new Russia

Phosphorus In Human Body.

The human body contains, among
other constituents, about two pounds
Of phosphorus. This phosphorus, If ex-
tracted and put to another use, would
make up about 1000 packages of fric-
ton matches. Besides phosphorus the
human body contains a. few ounces Of
sodium and half an ounce of potas-
stun. The quantity of the latter would
be sufficient for many experiments in a
class in chemistry. In addition to So
dunn and potassium there are a few
grains Of magnesium in the human
body, enough to make the "silver rain"
for a family's stock of rockets on
Fourth of July evening or to create
brilliant light visible at considerable
distance.
