Washington, September 23.- In an effort to obtain garments to clothe 10.00o0o0 people in oc. cupied France and Belgium this winter, the American Red Cross will conduct a drive for old and discarded clothing the week of September g While 1t has been estimated that at least 10000 tons of garments will be neces- sary, the Red Cross hopes that at least 5000 tons will be collect ed during the one week. Every kind of garment for all ages and sexes is needed

 F'limsy garm ents. ball room dresses, high heeled shoes, etc, will not be accepted. The gar ments wanted are those that will give the most service and keep the people warm. The Red Cross chapters throughout the country will collect the garments as in the previous campaign.

Drug-Users A National Problem

The fact that thousands of drafted men have had to be dis missed from war cantonments as drug addicts unfit for service, while other thousands are being subjected to treatment for this reason. removes every possible doubt that the country is facing in such addiction a serious prob. len
 The Rainey committee, after a careful inquiry in which Treasu ry agents assisted, reports that many young men in the draft be came addicts by using drugs un- der malicious advice, to avoid military service. The number more or less addicted among draft age men alone is estimated at 100000. For both sexes and all ages 1t may reach the appall- ing total Of 100000. Unless preventive action is prompt and successful, even this number is certain to be greatly increased by Prohibition. More Ameri cans, even HOW, are ruined by drugs than oy liquor.
 The ease with which dangerous quantities Of morr hine. cocaine, and other drug preparations can be hidden makes it hard to fight their illicit use: yet it must be fought. Something can be done by provisions in the Revenue Bill for registration of dealers and sales. But there is room for sharp work by Boards of Health and prosecuting officers in every community. And there will be still more work if Nationwide Prohibition becomes a fact.
