Federal and State action

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Omitted
Press. Federal and state govern
ments should cooperate in establish
ing clinics and dispensaries for the
cure of addicts, the use Of opium,
cocaine, morphine and other drugs.
l.. G. Mutt. supervisor Of the federal
field force, says.
st has been estimated that there
are 100000 drug addicts in the
United States" said Mutt. "But this
seems to me as more than a conserv-
alive estimate.
San Francisco Has 10000 Addicts
"San Francisco has about 10000
addicts. Pasadena. California. has
a larger number relatively than any
city on the Pacific coast. Salt Lake
City has 5000. The illegal use of
narcotic drugs seems to be stronger
on the Pacific coast than in any other
section of the country with the pos
sible exception of New York. In
New York state there are probably
$4,000 addicts.
Despite these alarming figures,
the enforcement of the Harrison Mar
cottc law is continually cutting down
the number of addicts in the coun.
try"

LONDON (By Mail.)-While the

becoming more Disguised over the
numerous disclosures of fragrant
abuse of the cry, "Help the unem-

the result that really deserving cases
frequently receive but cavalier treat
ment.
During the past New Year "bar-
gain sales" season the West End shop
ping districts of London have been
continually paraded by professions of
unemployed, headed by bands and
collecting boxes. But the most pop

disclosed the amounts of the daily
collections there have been many
frauds ON the public. The wounded

COMING TO UNITED STATES

Lenglen, the French tennis wizard, is
practically sure to come to America
this summer. She will compete in the
woman's championships at Forest
Hills, L. l., and will make an exhibit
ton tour as far as the coast.
Americans will see in Mile. Lenglen
perhaps the greatest girl player. Ten
mis- critics who have seen the slim
little French girl on the court declare
that May Sutton is the only star that
could approach her game.
Mile. Lenglen is great little ad-

attractions Of the Olympic games last

for her prowess on the court. but for
her conquests among the opposite sex.

NEW ALPS TUNNEL
TO OPEN SOON
BY HENRY WOOD,

by I1ENn WOOD,
United Press Staff Correspondent.
ROME, Feb. %. - Announcement
has Just been made that, barring &C.
cident, the second tunnel under the
Simplon pass, The Alps. and which
runs parallel to the present one, will
ing summer.
Its operation is expected to stim-
ulate an increase immensely both
passenger and merchandise trans
portation between the channel ports
and the Mediterranean and Adriatic.
Work on the second Simplon tun-
null has been in progress since 1912.
Despite the war a certain amount of
work was at all times kept up.
In building the present tunnel, the
engineers were able to utilize the gal
lery which had been built when the
first tunnel was constructed for the
purpose of ventilating the latter. In
fact the new tunnel is little more
than an enlargement and adaptation
of this gallery, although the en-
gineering problems involved were
fully as great as those Of the original
tunnel construction.
The first tunnel was pierced at a
cost of over $15,0OO,000, whilst the
second one will cost only about
$7,OOO,00O.
The two tunnels now have a total
of about twelve and half miles of
which five and half are on Swiss
territory, and the remainder on
Italian soil.

The right of survival as a nation

"Our relations are simply of

that Turkey be permitted to sur

in preference to thousand deaths
