DRUG USING GAINS
UNDER DRY LAWS

Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-Since prohibi-
tion has been effective the number OF
drug addicts sent to the House of Cor
rection has increased without reduc-
ing the commitments from other
causes.
This is according to the Rev. Abram
Maurer Viven. a Methodist minister
who is a moral instructor at the
Holmesburg institution.
He also said that the men outnum-
bered the women inmates, and that
only one-tenth are colored.
The number of drug addicts received
at the institution was 164 in 1914 and
ss1 in 1918. The Rev. Mr.. Viven said
that inmates receive drugs in letters
from their friends. who conceal them
under the stamps. Drugs are also put
around the inside edges of envelopes.

and the legal tangles involved.
CurtaIIment Of Train Service.
The Postmaster General has issued
a bulletin urging that Christmas par
GELS be mailed early Ito avoid disap-
pointment." The bulletin says that
the coal strike has caused a reduc-
tion of train service on some rail-
roads, and further curtailment will
doubtless be necessary as the strike
continues" .
Two important shipbuilding con-
Germs have asked the Shipping Board
to appeal to the coal distribution
cdtnmittee of the United States Rail-
road Administration for coal, on the
plea that coal restriction will COM

The Shipping Board is not likely to
accede to the appeal as the coal is
needed for consumers higher up on
the priority list.
