1T might be interesting to know that
the druggists reported to the question
naire received that during the period
Of one year they had filled narcotic pre-
scriptions totaling 200.96 in the District
of Columbia. and in the entire United
States there were filled by registered
druggists 1s,2ss,s9I prescriptions con-
tanning narcotic drugs.
From March /, 1920. to February %.
1921, there were twenty-five persons re-
ported in the District of Columbia for
violating the Harrison narcotic law.
From March !. 1921, to February 2S
1922, there were 10 persons reported.
During these two years the persons
tried and convicted received sentences
aggregating sixty-nine and one-half
years in the penitentiary. From Febru-
airy IS. 1922. to the LIST of July there
were thirty-one persons reported. the
aggregate sentences being seventy-five

There is no question, in my opin-

a growing evil. Statistics available
show an enormous increase in the

there are moro Of these drugs con-
sumed in The United States than in
any other country in the world. The
large majority Of the drug users

are young people. boys and girls be-

years Of age. This is deplorable

link to the ever-lengthening chain
has been added.
ONE of the greatest authorities in

is DR.. Rhees. who has given the mat

sician. he can appreciate the enor-
nous evil that will befall the country
if the illegal traffic in drugs is not

the subject DR.. Rhees says:
THE constant desire Of a large pro-
portion of the young people of this gen.
Grafton appears to be for some new
sensation or thrill. That this passion
for something new has turned these
young persons in the direction of using
narcotic drugs is not at all surprising.
especially when it is known that CO.
caine will stimulate jaded nerves and
bored minds as nothing else will. This
one drug is. in my opinion, responsible
for the downfall Of thousands Of young
girls and men in every large city in
the United States.
1.-The process of becoming user OF
cocaine is ismple. Usually it is through
association with some unscrupulous
young man or woman who, like an octo-
pus. with tentacles stretched in every

finally leading the youth to her owner,
who induces him to try the new sensa-
tions obtained through the use Of

almost Immediately the victim feels
exhilarated and gay a feeling of buoy

ONE PERSON OUT OF EVERY TEN

Registration for 1921 Shows A Gain of 1,204, 74S
Cars and Trucks Over Year of 1920.

Indiana held ninth place, while
Massachusetts moved up from elev-
enth to tenth. Missouri and Wis
consin climbed a notch to eleventh
and twelfth positions, respectively,
while Minnesota slipped back from
tenth to thirteenth place.
Oyer half the cars and trucks Of
the country are registered in nine
States, which is more than on the
entire continent of Europe. These
states are New York. Ohio, Penn
sylvania, California, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Texas. Iowa and Indiana.
Their registrations total 100000.
Comparison of the 1921 registra-
ton figures with the 1920 census
tabulation shows that there is now
one motor vehicle for every ten
persons, as compared with one for
every twelve persons in 1920 and
one for every fourteen persons in
1919.
These facts constitute the best
obtainable proof that the automo-
bile industry is continuing in its
remarkable era of expansion. Fur
thermore, they emphasize the indis-
pensability OF the moto- car. Dur
ing a year characterized by adverse
business conditions a decided gain
was made. thereby presenting addi-
tional evidence that automobiles are
purchased chiefly for business pur-
poses.

Automobiles are purchased to-

which has existed since the auto

Harry Burr, of the Franklin Motor
Car Company.
1T Is true that previous to the
outbreak of the great war, the pub
lie was growing yearly more dis
eliminating. but a shortage Of au-
tomobile output for a time changed
all that into a mere discussion Of
delivery dates. With automobile
production again sufficient to sup
ply readily all demands for auto
mobile transportation, buyers at
once began to pick and choose, to
assure themselves, in so far as pos
sible, that they were getting the
best value possible for their money.
There Is an added factor in the
new situation. The public today
has a much greater understanding
Of what an automobile should be
than II has ever had before. The
Franklin Automobile Company Is
doing more than merely responding
to desire on the part of the buyer
to know what he Is going to get

One person out of every ten in
the United States now owns a motor
vehicle-a grand total OF approx
mately 1O,5OO.00O passenger cars
and trucks.
This staggering total represents
the official registration OF the va
rious States on December 81, 1921,
and is an increase of 1.2O4.74S over
1920. when 9,295,253 cars and trucks
were registered.
This remarkable gain during the
last year is considered remarks BILE
by officials of the automobile in
dustry and surpassed by wide
margin their most optimistic pre-
'dictiOns at the start of last year.
In some States the gain was as
much as So per cent and ten States
reported an increase of more than
20 per cent. The leaders in this
group were Southern States-West
Virginia. Florida and New Mexico.
Ohio. with a gain of IS per cent. led
the industrial States.
The race between Ohio and New
York for supremacy became even
more heated than ever before, but
again, turned out in favor of New
York by a scant margin of some
1000 cars and trucks. At the same
rate of increase Ohio will overtake
New York before spring. The fig
ures are: New York, $4,000: Ohio,
$4,000.
Although New York leads in
total motor vehicle registrations,
Ohio possesses more passenger cars.
The Buckeye State boasts $4,000
automobiles, against 5s1.915 for the
Empire State. New York's truck
registration is more than twice that
of Ohio's.
Among the twelve leaders several
states crawled up a notch or so.
Pennsylvania maintained third
place, while California replaced
Illinois in fourth place-the two
States exchanging places. Michi-
gan stepped up the ladder from
eighth to sixth place. outdistancing
Iowa and Texas. Iowa slipped two
pegs into eighth place, while Texas
remains in seventh position.
