Gently, the league points out, he de-
clared that the country had little idea
OF the Importance of the work being

In the second place, the league says
that juvenile delinquency, which shows
a proneness TO increase in each country
where the war RACES, can best be com
bated by enlsting the boys of the ma
ton in movement such as that of the
Boy Scouts. That the increase of crime
among boys has already started is es-
tablished by figures included in the bull
letin issued by the Boy Scouts as par,
of the literature in their campaign.
Massachusetts has had an increase thus
far of SIS per cent in crime among the
boys; Detroit reports an increase of
nearly so per cent, and Newark and
Toledo, Ohio, police courts have noted
an alarming increase III boy arrests.
In New York City the Boy Scouts
want four hundred new scoutmasters.
At the same time they want four hun
dred new meeting places where Boy
Scouts may rally.
Several Of the cities where the cam
paign has already been started, have re-
ported that there is every indication of
success. The campaign for new scout
leaders so far has resulted as follows:

Drug Evil Diminishing,
Says Justice Collins
Report ON State Conditions
Urges Laws to Curb
Doctors

BUFFALO,, Feb. 9.-The drug evil in
New York State is diminishing, but
dishonest physicians are still able
under the present law to furnish con-
siderable quantities of narcotics to adj
diets, Justice Cornelius Collins, of the
Court of Special Sessions, New York
City, told the State Conference of
Justices and Magistrates here to-day
He made this statement in his report
as chairman of a special committee on
the drug evil.
although the Whitney bill did not
contain all the recommendations we be-
lieved absolutely necessary. marked
improvement was accomplished" said
Justice Collins. "Peddling Of narcotics
in the underworld is largely under con-
troll, and its malevolence with its in
cidental anti-social propensities checked
materially.
can unfortunate condition, however
prevails with regard to promiscuous dis
tributicn by some unprincipled physi-
clans who have made business OF
prescribing for drug addiction, and do
so, not as was intended for the pur.
pose Of alleviating distress with the
intention of etfecting a cure of the
addict, but rather to keep the I'M
fortunate supplied and to reap dishon-
orable profit.
"The existing law in the state is in
sufficient, too, in checking the addict
seeking supply from physicians. The
abuse of power on the part of some
dlshonorable physicians, happily few in
number, became so rampant that the
Federal officers who had greater scope
of legal authority than municipal OF
state, raided some establishments and
disclosed deplorable condition"

Ills Canadian Chum
And Money Vanish
Koegland Gets New Outfit and
British Authorities Seek
Missing Soldier

After night of good cheer spent
in the company Of o jovial Canadian
soldier, Albert s. Rocgland woke up
yesterday afternoon in room in the
Eastern Hotel, on Whitehall Street. to
md himself alone with a Canadian ,,ni-
torn and a headache His companion
mad departed, as had all his clothes. in
the pockets Of which were a passport
and $40. f"'''''
In great perturbation of spirit Roer
,and roamed the streets and considered
his situation. He could not report for
work on his oil barge in Canadian
uniform, and at every step he was fear
ful OF being arrested as a deserter or
summoned before court martial for
failing to salute the right men,
At last he took his trouble to Head
quarters, and detective was sent with
him to the headquarters of tho British
Recruiting Mission. There Eoogland
spent an embarrassing five minutes,
while officers, who waited for no ex-
PLANTATION, demanded why he did not
salute, why his cap was on hindside
foremost, why he had buckied his belt
that way, why he hadn't buttoned his
coat, and what under the sun he had
been trying to do with his puttees.
When the detective explained the sit
uation, Roegland was sent to the Office
of the British Consul, who supplied him
with an entire new outfit from head to
foot and made careful note Of the name
sewn in the Canadian uniform.

Parole Commission
Called Extravaganza

A committee of the New York County
Lawyers Association, which was ap-
pointed to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of
extending the provisions of the indie
terminate sentence law and the juris-
diction of the Parole Commission to
all felonies save those involving CAPT
tai punishment, has reported against
the proposal and expresses doubt that
the city is getting the worth of its
money from the Parole Commission
The report, which was made public
yesterday, says:
"Thc budget for the ensuing year, as
your committee is advised, contains
items in large amounts covering the
expenses of the Parole Commission;
the salaries of the regular employees of
the commission alone are to exceed
$96,00O Your committee is firmly con-
WINGED that the city and community at
large do not receive any adequate re-
turn for this large outlay"
By far the greater number of Gen
eral Sessions judges opposed the idea
and, while the members of the commits
sion were in favor of it, the committee
reached the conclusion that even with
it's present powers the commission in
fringed upon the functions of the judi
ciary and was inclined to constitute
itself kind Of appellate court. The
committee further stated that the pres
ent indeterminate sentence law as APP
piled to felonies accomplished virtu-
ally the same ends as would be served
by the extension of the law of 1915
although the responsibility was in the
hands of the courts instead of in those
of the Parole Commission.
Herbert r. Limburg is chairman of
the committee. Other members are
Peter r. Gatens, Francis d. Gallatin
and jeremiah T. Mahoney

Boy Scouts Start
Big Drive for
Men and Money
Campaign Designed to Add
to War Efficiency Extends
Over Entire Country

The Boy Scouts of America need two
things-men and money. They are not
particular which they get first nor of
which they get the most. They want
both and have started drive, which
they are confident is going to NEE,
their fondest desires
The campaign throughout the United
States, except New York City, started
last Friday and will continue until
Tuesday night. In New York the
drive is to be started next Friday and
will continue four days
In making its plea for men who will
act as scoutmasters, the Boy Scouts
point out that there are thousands of
boys anxious to JOIN their ranks but
are unable to do SO because of a lack
of men to take charge of the squads as
fast as they are recruited. The war. of
course, has greatly depleted the ranks
of the old scoutmasters, a great per
centage of them having gone into some
branch of the government service.
The need of recruiting up to full
strength the ranks of the scoutmas ters

Ex-Deputy Commissioner

Peanut politics is to be made the

rector of Sea View Farms, Staten Isl

clared that the charges against the
director of the cty's poor farm" were
most trivial and that a serious injus-
tice had been done against competent
city employee.
"Not word in Commissioner Coler's
charges about the welfare of the sick,
about the condition of the food, about
the death rate, about the nursing care,
about the manner Of treatment of the
old married couples who live content
eddy in the cottages" said Mr.. Howe.
