Police and Defense League
Given Credit for Good

Commissioner Oyster has sent let
tiers commencing the Home Defense
League and the police for their hand
ling Of traffic at the reception to the
arms delegates last Wednesday even
ing, The letter to the league was
sent to Odell S. Smith director, and
said much of the success in handling
the traffic was due to the efforts Of
league members.
In his letter to the Police Depart

1T is indeed most gratifying for me

compliment and express their thanks
and appreciation for the intelligent
and energetic work Of the members
OF the police force on the occasion Of
the reception rendered by the Com
missioners and citizens Of the District
Of Columbia to the distinguished visi-

DR.J.S.R|LEY ATTACKS
PRESCRIBING DRUGS
Seldom Necessary and Invite
Dangerous Habits, Local
Practitioners Say.

The use Of narcotics is habit form
ing and the habit is hard to break
Therefore it is harmful to prescribe
narcotics, in the opinion of DIR. j.
Shelby Riley, prominent chiropractic
physician of Washington.
DR.. Riley yesterday said there are
so many harmful things that come
from the use OF narcotics that Ii
would take the greater part Of a
day to enumerate them, but that the
principal injuries were the loss Of
memory, and the weakening Of the
muscul9r part Of the body. With
the weakening of these two attrib-
utes Of the human being, DIR. Riley
said that there was nothing else left,
and that while there might be soma
reason for prescribing narcotics in
cases of extreme suffering, in the
majority of cases it was harmful to
prescribe them.
Other physicians in Washington
said the use OF narcotics was par
ticularly unnecessary in many cases,
and that some physicians often pre-
scribed them for no other reason
than after administering them to his
patient that he could go home and
get a good nights rest, without fear
Of being reused to go out and admin
lister to the patient.
DR.. Riley's principal objections to
the use of narcotics were:
First, the use of narcotics is
habit-forming. and the person form
ing the habit will find ii very hard
to break. A person well established
in the habit can take, at one dose,
with comparative impunity, a guam
tity that would prove the death Of
half a dozen men not accustomed to
such usage.
"In the second place. the use Of
such drugs will invariably weaken
the mentality Of the individual, dull
his memory, and make his veracity
most uncertain quantity.
"In the third place. it weakens
the muscular energy, weakens the
vital organs, and renders the indi-
vidual less efficient in all business
matters. The life is shortened, and
family ties are broken.
THE Government is wise is safe

The Red Cross Roll Call has failed
In Washington. This was the state
ment issued yesterday by Edward A.
Mitchell, chairman of the local cam
paign.

by the majority of the men and
women whose membership was So

In charge have moved to the District
Chapter headquarters, 16 Jackson
Place, and from there will continue
to receive the returns Of the COM
mittees and auxiliaries which have

sent to the Red Cross at this ad-
dress.
In making the announcement that
the Roll Call had failed. Mitchell out.
lined the work the organization was
doing in Washington. He told Of

Relief From Speeders

Motorists passing through Capitol

a complaint with the State motor

The commissioner is asked to place
a motorcycle officer on this highway
to break up the practice Of speeding
through the town.
The complaint is based upon an acci-
dent which occurred several days ago.
Bernard Schmidt. five years old, was
knocked down by a speeding automo-
bile. The driver did not stop.
