NEW YORK, May 19.-"Thank
God, it's passed" exclaimed DR..
Royal 8. Copeland, commissioner OF
health, when discussing the Miller
bill regulating the importation and
of Authorizing drugs
into and out of this country. Or.
Copeland continued:
II have been advocating such
measure for the past two years be-
cause our experience in this city has
shown us that II Is absolutely useless
to attempt the cure of drug addist.
when, Immediately after his cure, he
can obtain his favorite drug on the
streets of New York.
"In our big fight against drugs
two years ago we took 1000 through
Riverside Hospital and turned them
out cured. They were, in a medical
sense. but in many cases their moral
regeneration had not been affected
to the extent that they wanted to
keep away from the drugs.
THE Miller bill will solve this stu
alton for us, and hope that Presi-
dent Harding loses no time in sign
ing It.
ut is in the interests OF the Ameri-
can youth. At the present time we
import into this country quantities
of habit forming drugs far in excess
OF our legitimate needs for medicinal
purposes. Much of this excess is
manufactured into morphine and
heroin.
by the Miller bill both the i'm.
portations and expectations will he
under check. and at all times we
will be able to know where every
grain of the pernicious drugs is.
when this bill actually becomes
a law, and the enforcement Of 1t Is
worked out, ! will guarante to cure
every drug addict in the city by
painless method within six months
THE strong support that the
Hearst newspapers has thrown
back of this bill has been responsible
in a large manner for its enactment.
and once more a great moral and
public victory has been won by these
newspapers"

BY MARGERY REX.

NEW YORK, May 49,
Running away from home is
easier than crawling back.
Lots of girls have learned it.
At as early as four or five
years old one can find that
out. When mother seems a
tyrant, there is nothing to do
but pack a dolls trunk, take
the quarter one has saved by
dint of much self-denial, and
divorce ones self from a
cruel family.
Neighbors Tiresome.
Neighbors grow tiresome after
while. They are apt to say, 81
think / hear your mother calling
you," and then one must make a
forced retreat in tears and shame.
But, oh, how nice to be home
again; to be treated as if nothing
at all had happened!
It's just as hard to acknowl-
edge a mistake and come back
when one is fourteen, or even
twenty-four. Just as hard wheth-
er one has gone off with a quar-
ter or a quarter of a thousand.

This Is the conclusion Mrs. Mary
Hamilton has come to after years Of
experience with runaways. Mrs.
Hamilton, who Is connected with the
New York police department. bureau
Of missing persons, has heard the
stories Of hundreds Of girls who left
home, and has coaxed many of them
to take the road back.
The mother who does not know
where her daughter is cannot induce
her to return, but Mrs. Hamilton,
by taking the absent mothers place,
and pleading for her, has won the
title Friend Of Girls" and will be
long remembered as such by those
whose secrets she keeps securely.
Most cases of missing girls
come under two heads, shame or
murder" Mrs. Hamilton explains.
