Are Dope and Alcohol Twins?

To thc Editor Of ttc Ercriro PubNc L'd0'r:
Sir-AI.ettcrs recently published from

show a marked contrast. The former
called attention to important facts.
reasoned logically about them and pre-
scented n strong ease for our careful
consideration. whether we like his con.
illusions or not. wish there were
more letters published Of this calb.r.
Th" latter writes tn" hHsty. superficial.
sweeping gcncralzationS of the fanatic
and is ignorant of or ignores the follow
ing facts:
The laws against dope are fully MS
strict as those against Intoxicating boy
rrages. yet he pleads for legislation
against dope. Theorists hate to 20
into details, but one would like to know
just what further legislation he wants.
II seems to mo there is enough law
now. There might be better enforce
n,rnt. but tlis will always be difficult
matter whore a small bulk commands
Il high price and there is big money for
corruption Of the agents of the law.
It is also n fact that not one in ten
thousand would vote for relaxation Of
the dope laws, while it's very doubtful
if our present extreme dry law has the
support of ma jority of our citizens.
Nobody believes that cope should be
used except when prescribed by doc
tor, but about half of us believe the
moderate use Of alcohol to be benef-
cial.
1t Is further fact that no dope user
or thief thinks he is doing right while
ut least % per cent Of alcohol users
think they nre right In their indul-
g"nce. Whether they are actually right
or not is immatcria to this argument.
Some propaga ndists are trying to
class alcohol with dope. but the public
refuses to fall into line.
In view of the above facts there seems
IN be no Inconsistency in cond"mnins
dope and defending alcohol.

CALIFORNIA DOCTOR
PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE
TO MELODY OF BIRD

LONDON, June mot even th
most petted and pampered prima
donna has ever had so great a COM
pliment paid her voice as the COM
ipliment which DIR. Casey Wood, of
/ California, has just paid to the COM
mon British, nightingale The doctor
has Just completed a 5000 mile quest
in order that he might hear the Drit-
ish nightingale in full song.
The quest must have cost thou
sands of dollars. 1t has meant much
discomfort, travelling night and day
| by sea, air and road, but at the end,
| risking pneumonia by llneeling on
the damp, dewy grass, he has full
filled his long-postponed wish.
Far away in the fastness of a
! Surrey woodland the doctor heard
the metallic "tweet-tweet'' of the
nightingale. He must have been dis
appointed, for the nightingale has
rather harsh note at times and Of
ten drives distracted inhabitants of
the lonely country houses here to shy
shoes at the disturber of the night
rather than listen reverently to it or
bended knee, as did DIR. Wood.
1t is now dangerous to whisper
the word nightingale in the ear OF
DR.. Casey Wood. 1t is true he came
all the way to hear the songster, but
he bitterly regrets ever spilling to the
reporters the cause of his long jour
ney. Since that date he has been
bcsieged by well-meaning helpers
who wanted TO track their own par
tiCular nightingales for his benefit.
Bird lovers from all corners of the
continent have been Fostering him.
They even inquired at the embassy
for him, and it was all too 0verpow-
ering for him, so he had to move
about incognito.
no the International News the doc
toe gave his impressions of the
nightingale, Il
THE result was highly success
ful," he said. ''Toward noon of a
bright sunshiny day the first night
ingale was encountered. His deep.
sweet song was distinctly heard at
intervals for over an hour. This
demonstrated the falsity of the sur
rent belief that the bord only sings
at night or in the cleaning.
During the tramp over the beau
tiful downs in Surrey a dozen, birds
of the species were heard in full or
partial song until hunger and the
shades of night drove the explorer
to rest"
