MORE TRUTH

rHr EIRsT STEPS
By LANES j. MONTAGUE

THE FIRST STEPS
What strength is yours. that you
should dare
To make this journey, pray?
Know you that yonder rocking chair
Is quite five feet away2
One little wobhly step gone wrong
One second off your guard,
And you shall learn that roads arc
long
And falls uncommon hard.
No sudden dash will carry you
Across that gaping space;
Uncertainty you must pursue
A weak, unsteady pace.
And, once you've started though you
find
That you were far too rash.
No nie-strieken change of mind
Can save you from crash.
Yet there you go! Advice you spurn,
As is the way of youth;
From adult lips you will not learn
The hard and brutal truth.
One step-one mora pitfall passed,
Frail steps, and quite unframed,
A trip, a tumble, and at last
The rocking chair is gained.
And OH the proud and happy smile
That lights the face of you
Who've learned that life Is well worth
while
To those who dare to do.
Though life may bring you strength
and might.
And battles bravely fought.
Twill never bring the same delight
That these first steps have brought:

ing to estimates made by Or Carelton
Simon, head of the narcotic division of
the Police Department, in a report
made public yesterday.
DR.. Simon makes this estimate in
spite of his statement that 2,4S8 ar
rests, which his men made in the first
nine months of this year, cut down the
Illicit drug business by more than
$4,000 a day. Nine OF those arrested
were children who were acting as
venders' apprentices.
Since the enactment Of the drug
amendment to the sanitary code, about
two months ago, DR.. Simon says, 982
persons have been arrested for illegal
possession or sale of drugs. A record
Of 93 per cent convictions has been
made, he says, in Ire $50 of these
cases, which have been brought to
trial.

means to purchase his drugs" says DR..
Simon, without resortirg to crime
and who can maintain a private resi-

we catch him in the actual act Of
smuggling or purchasing drugs These
addicts do not carry drugs, and il we
could enter their homes it probably

finding of the body Of Samuel Buffipg-

student, hanging in a closet in his
home at 1928 East SiXty-ffth Street, TO-
night brought a coroner's investigation
Of what is believed may be a peculiarly
diabolical murder.
The body was found By the boys
mother, Mrs. Charles f. Pingham, and
his stepfather when they returned to
the house after several hours absence.
A rope, slip-noosed, was around the
neck The hands were bound.
Examination led the police to believe
that the boy had been murdered. Their
theory is that a burglar encountered
the boy, killed him, and then attempteG
to arrange the body SO that it would
appear to be a suicide.
