Opening Their Eyes.

It would be impossible to estimate
the good already achieved by the
United States Public Health Service
and the many state boards of health
in the nation wide campaign to con-
troll venereal diseases. Suffice it to
say that there is scarce a community
in the United States which has not
been reached with the direct appeal.
or one in which the appeal is not al
ready bearing fruit.
All have not yet taken active steps
TO stamp out syphilis and gonorrhea,
but great majority Of them have
had their eyes opened to the menace
and it is only a question of time be-
fore they follow the lead Of the more
progressive communities.
Unlike most ailments which beset
mankind, venereal diseases had as
strong an ally in false modesty, or
prudery. as in ignorance. Persons
quite familiar with the menace did
little to enlighten their fellow men
because the subject was pretty gen.
orally taboo. One Of the great tasks
OF the Public Health Service was to
break down this barrier and at the
same time get clinics underway where
the diseases have been treated free.
Without the one the other was al
most impossible.
Thanks to splendid cooperation
from state and city boards of health
and broad-minded editors success
- now in sight The words Syphilis"
and "gonorrhea" are appearing daily
in the largest newspapers in the
United States and the readers are

Drug Victims

The special committee appointed
by the Department of the Treasury
to investigate the drug habit has
made Its report with startling revela-
tons. Representative H. T. Dainey
OF Illinois. q member Of the commit
tee, has given serious study to the
problem and the necessary campaign
to reduce the evil.
The number Of victims of the drug
habit In the United States Is estimat-
ed az not less than 10000 There
Is no part Of the country without
them and no state where the evil has
not been a growing problem. An ag-
gresstve campaign will be carried on
to check the use of drugs. The Har-
rison Federal Narcotic Act should be
strengthened by amendment. This
law forbids the sale Of opium or
cocoa leaves, or any Of their com.
pounds except for the cure Of those
addicted to their use, with the single
exception where 1t is needed in legiti-
mate medical use. Greater corpora
ton must be required by state and
local authorities. Thus far only three
oA1SOS-INC" 4oih A0oCodShoSCtto
and Tennessee-have taken the lead
in necessary supplementary legisla-
ton. Provisions are recommended
for the treatment Of addicts by the
Federal government or the states. or
regulated by them.
The worst form Of drug Is heroin.
which has three and one-half times
the strength Of morphine. It Is a
German product and was announced
to the world by German chemists as
free from the harmful effects Of OPT
UNI. In Germany there is the strict
est control over the distribution Of
drugs, SO that the harm done has
fallen almost wholly on the world
outside Of Germany, probably the
most heavily on this country.-Union
Signal.
Petty soon the long suffering,
hard-dyins. law-defying booze pro-
motors will be pointing to drug ad-
diets as wholly an outcome Of dry"
conditions. There will have been no
drug evil before July :, 1919. and
robbed and outraged rum interests
will rejoice in what the fanatics
have went and done.
But let us possess our souls in pa.
thence for q few years In the knowl-,
edge that the drug evil Is not an out
growth Of temperance or unsatisned
craving that could be allayed by al
cohol. but rather a product Of BOOZE
cultivated depravity. For a time hu-
man systems degenerated by alcohol
will reach for any devilish thing that
disenthrones the spiritual being and
gives relief" from consciousness Of
ones own distance from decency.
But the demand for alcohol and other
drugs and narcotic poisons will grad
ually decrease.
Meantime the proponents of per
sonal liberty and self government"
are predicting all manner Of en-
croachment upon their "rights"-pro-
hibition Of tobacco smoking and
chewing. restraint OF those who
would make love or eat pickles, de-
struction Of family pets, suppression
OF croquet and jackstraws. We
should not be surprised at wholesale
suicide on the part Of the personal
libertyites. because there's nothing
left to live for. Reduction of the
drug evil Is the last straw. II they
are robbed Of the privilege" of max
ing irresponsibles and criminals of
themselves and feeble minded and
moral perverts Of their offspring
they just simply won't play any
more. So there!

AUTOMOBILE MAKES RECORD

An Overland Model 30 has just estab-
lished worlds record for a nonstop run
with gears sealed in high. The car was
driven over the roads around Oklahoma
City for several days. In the 16s hours
OF continuous running the car covered
1901 miles. That exceeds the next best
record which has stood since 1916 by
almost 200 miles.
The remarkable feature Of the was that
in making this distance equal to a trip
from Milford to Los Angeles and back to
Oklahoma without change Of gear or en-
gine stop, the overland drivers averaged
624.s miles a day. The gasoline used
averaged 2O.66 miles for each gallon. It
was gasoline OF So test. The previous
American Automobile Association record
for a twenty-four hour, nonstop run
was 5s7 miles.
The run was held by Dick Carhart, Of
the Carhart Motor Company. Of Oklahoma
City, Overland and Willys-K knight dealers.
The car was run on dirt roads more than
half Of the time and the rest OF the run
was on rough country boulder stretches
and the poor pavements OF the suburbs OF
Oklahoma City. The carburetor was never
adjusted, nor spark plug replaced. There
were but three punctures.
During the seven days Of continuous
driving the Overland 80 encountered two
days Of hard-driving rain and from twelve
to fifteen hours Of each twenty-four were
spent in the traffic Of the city. -Four
drivers were used. working in four shifts
The run was planned by Mr.. Carhart
in an effort to break existing records for
a sealed-in-high-gear, nonstop test. The
judges for the event were carefully Sc
ected. consisting Of the president of the
chamber Of commerce, the managing ed
itor of the Daily Oklahomian and the |
editor Of the Daily Oklahoma !
News. These men checked the reports of /
he observers and closely followed the
,ar themselves. The run excited the
greatest attention throughout the State |
IS a demonstration Of economy and eff
'iency Of operation.
