Paris, Feb. 2.--Some people Claim
the peace conference does not work
enough and shows little method and
progress In its debates. Seriously
speaking, what do these critics expect?
Inside OF one week the conference
decided TO create a society of nations.
and even before actually existing this
aociety assumes the task of settling all
international conflicts, takes charge OF
the German colonies. organizes Po-
land. manages the coal districts OF
upper SileSia. contested between the
Czechs and Poles. declares open inher-
isaaee TO Asiatic Turkey. .oxtcrm!nates
lltraces OF previous diplomatic con-
tracts.
Such an accomplishment Is open to
many criticisms but not to that OF
tack of activity or systematic pro-
cedure. record was made In the ex-
animation of the Turkish question.
Up to the afternoon OF January so.
the official bulletins nor indiscretions
blamed on the press had indicated
that the debate begun on January 81
had exceeded the colonial domain.
Only a few insiders, perhaps had
been asking why Marquis Salvage

Why had the British premier so cas-

Tho communiQue of January 80
undertook to explain tho mystery. In
the course OF session lasting less
than three hours q committee OF ten
decided that henceforth the occupa-

Chicago, Feb. 2.--Fruits and
vegetables out of reach of many
families in war times are receding
10 normal prices. bananas and
oranges are already declining and
vegetables will be more plentiful
and cheaper this spring. Such Is
the opinion of 800 fruit and vege-
table shippers in Chicago attending
the annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Fruit and Vegetable Shippers
association. Bananas the poor
mans fruit " according to the ship
pers, are coming TO market again
at prices the poor man can pay.
Oranges are reaching the market in
larger consignments and are going
tn fan from the pinnacle attained
during the influenza epidemic. Re
lease of ships by the government
will allow normal supplies of inn
ported fruit. especially bananas
from the West indies, according to
fruit importers.

III. S. DRUG ADD|CTS
| NUMBER MILLION
More Expected Under Pro-
hibition, Special Investigate
ing Committee Reports.

There are now more than 100000
drug addicts in the United States,
with the prospect of many more when
national prohibition becomes effective.
according to a report made public to-
day by a special investigating COM
mtttee of the Treasury Department.
What effect, if any, nationwide
prohibition will have on the situation
could not be definitely determined by
by the committee" the report said.
THE consensus of opinion appears to
be that the number of addicts will
increase as soon as the prohibition
laws are enforced. These opinions
are based. for the most part. on the
stitute for alcohol. This opinion ap-
parently receives some support from
Investigations made in some of the
southern states, where prohibition has
| been in effect for some years
The committee of investigation was

Rainey, chairman; Prof. Reid Hunt
of Harvard University. B. c. Keith
|, former deputy commissioner of in
ternal revenue. and A. G. Dumez OF
the public health service.
Would Care for Drug Addicts.
Although the committee expressed
the opinion that the Harrison anti
| narcotic law confers all needed pow
ers for the effective control of the
drug menace. the committee recon
mended legislation by Congress, the
states and cities to provide for the
care and treatment of drug addlcts
who have been cut off from their
supply of narcotics.
The committee also suggested thai

Absolute prohibition of the manu-
| facture and sale of heroin was recon-
mended. Cooperation between pubic
| and private organizations was suR
eested to evolve a satisfactory meth
| cd of treating drug addicts.

The committee found that imports

as the population of the United States

HAGEN WINS GOLF Title

WEST NEWTON. Mass, June H.
Walter Hagen. the Oakland Hills golf
professional of Detroit. defeated Mike
Brady Of Oakley, local club, by one
stroke In the play-off for the national
open championship here yesterday.
The players had tied Wednesday with
scores of 301 for the 72 holes. which
made it necessary to play eighteen
holes more yesterday. The cards were
II and IS. Although Brady is the idol
Of the Boston golfers, they would not
back their favorite to any consid-
cradle extent unless odds of to 2
were given. Hagen's great finish
Wednesday. when he crept up from
behind and tied Brady at the home
hole, was apparently too fresh in
their minds.
The match came down to the very
last hole yesterday and Hagen had to
sink his last putt Of three feet before
he was conceded a victor over his ri
val. Mike had fought a game. uphill
fight. after being four down, and was
ready to take advantage of any mis-
take that Walter might make. The
chance looked close at hand for
moment as Brady, by virtue OF win
ming the seventeenth hole. got the
honor and put his drive straight down
the alley. but Hagen half topped his
tee shot and was lucky to escape
trouble. He had to use a brassie for
his next shot. and a fine wallop bare
ly put him to the edge of the green.
