DEATH
New Law May Fail
DIR. volk declared that unless there
is an open investigation of the entire
narcotic situation the recently passed
Jons- Miller law will fail OF its pur-
pose.
"This law was honestly drawn TO
preyent the importation OF narcotics
except for medicinal use," he says,
1T is to prevent the misuse OF drugs
and check smuggling.
But it has fatal loophoie Tor
wrong administration. 1t is just as
likely to increase smuggling and IL
licit sale by vendors, opening iHegiu-
mate channels and closing legitimate
channels
The Volk bill seeks to expose con-
ditions that have taken the narcotic
problem out of the hands OF reput-
able physicians.
DIR. Volk, with other students OF
the drug evil, believes in solving the
problem by education and by en-
couraging medical workers and stu
dents once more to take up the study
and treatment of narcotic drug addic-
ton without political and other lay
interference.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-A con-
certed drive has begun to secure
passage of Congressman Lester d,
Nolk's resolution for a congressional
investigation of the narcotic drug
evil which has grown to such an
extent that American addicts are
spending more than SCI, 100000 q year
for drugs.
A tremendous impetus has been
given the fight for an inquiry by the
revolutionary action of the American
Medical association. representing co.
600 physicians, in publicly endorsing
the Volk measure.
Politics has kept the resolution
in pigeon hole since last January"
says Congressman Volk, who is a
Brooklyn physician. t.Now the med
ical profession is waking up. En-
dorsements are pouring in from state
medical and pharmaceutical societies
all over the country.
Until the maladministration of
the narcotic law is exposed, hundreds
of thousands of innocent drug vic
tins will continue to be prosecuted.
1t is a question OF saving lives.
Respectable Victims
mot more than 10 or 20 per cent
of drug addicts are criminals. The
vast majority are responsible per-
sons, forced to hide their illness as
il it were a crime.

vote to uphold principles in place Of
masculine prerogatives.

dates of their own sex.

the masculine incumbents in the sup

Auto Drivers
and Booze
BY BILL PRICE.
NOTWITHSTANDING the in

NOTWITHSTANDING the in
nv creased severity shown by Po-
~ lice Court judges toward auto
drivers under the influence Of
whiskey, the number of fatalities
and serious accidents arising from
this condition have not diminished,
and the time has arrived when
judges of the court will have to
impose prison sentences instead OF
heavy fines.
The safe operation of automobiles
in the congested streets of Wash
ington or outlying roads is difficult
enough for men and women in full
possession of their faculties, alert
to their duties, and striving their
best to guard against accident.
Heads and hands befuddled by
whiskey have no place at steering
wheels these days.
Throughout the country the
police and judges Of the courts
are applying severe sentences to
stop whiskey soaked drivers from
killing and manning pedestrians
and from colliding with machines
driven by sober, responsible people.
There are entirely too many men
and women licensed to operate ma
chimes who, even when free from
whiskey, are dangerous to humanity
and traffic, because of reckless tenn
peraments and general unconcern. If
to this responsibility is added
whiskey, the combination is
menace that must be done away
with through the closest sort OF CO.
operation between the automobile
license office, the police department
and the courts.
The taking of heavy collateral at
police stations, or the imposition of
heavy fines, followed by revocation
of the drivers license, do not seem
to have proven sufficient to dimin-
ish the number Of drivers who
operate their machines while under
the influence of whiskey. Sterner
methods will have to be employed
by the courts.
District officials tried to be leni-
ent with whiskey drinkers in the
matter of revocation of licenses.
After a period of several months
the licenses would be restored. 1t
has been found that even this fair
treatment was not appreciated and
that many drivers have repeated
their offenses.
Projection of life is paramount to
all other considerations, and the
second offence in driving machine
while whiskey-soaked should mean
permanent revocation of Licenses
and drastic handling b. the police
and courts.
The taking of collateral at police
stations under some conditions of
drunkenness at the wheel should be
done away with, if possible, and
the offenders compelled to 60 to
court for trial. Forfeiture of col
lateral has been the loophole
through which many reckless,
dangerous auto driver has escaped
the punishment he deserved.

A Strong Wall

NENATOR Gooding Of Idaho says
he would not only have high
~ tariff, but would keep out of
the United States everything that
Gin be made here. That is his idea
OF developing trade, prosperity and
manufactures.
1t will seem preposterous to
many. But IL is not new, and has
been worked both ways. In Japan
it was once a crime, punished by
death, to take silk worms or the
eggs of silk worms out of Japan,
or seeds of mulberry trees, on whlci.
the silk worms live. The Japanese
didn't want anybody else to make
silk.
In France, after "the Field of
the Cloth of Gold" where Francis
I and Henry VIII wrestled,
Dragged and displayed their splen-
dor, and where French mobiles wore
their fortunes on their backs,
French statesmen decided that
silks, satins and mirrors used in
France should be made in France.
They went at it in Senator Good
ing's fashion. If France rules to-
day in the making Of silk, satin,
velvet, glass, it is thanks to abso-
lutte protection and exclusion long
ago.
