Deploring the drug habit, which is
showing alarming increases through
out the country. DR.. d. G. Dickerson
of the United States public health
service told the public health com
mittee of the Washington Board of
Trade that there were more than
1000 drug addicts in the National
Capital.
Various types of drugs-cocaine.
morphine and heroin-are easily OBJ
tainable in Washington, according to
the Speaker, who said that every eff
fort should be made to fight the con-
stantly growing army of addicts.
The war is blamed by DR.. Dicker-
son for the spread of this pernicious
evil. He pointed out that many
Americans lived in Europe and fought
in Europe. and that many of them
acquired the use of drugs for stimu-
lation in those trying times.
Approximately one million drug
users now live in the United States
said the speaker, and the number is
increasing.
Registration Of all known addicts
and severe prison sentences for all
offenders were among the remedies
suggested for tn curing of this evil

Declaring that United States pro-

hundred thousand dollars.
Liquor and wines valued at $500 900

from which place they had been
taken.
Judge Thompson ruled that the dry
agents had invaded the individual
rights of citizens as guaranteed un-
der the fourth amendment, reguIat-
ing the right of seizure.
I'm many prosecutions under the
prohibition act" said the court, "evi-
dence cannot he obtained except upon

the very foundation upon which the
successful prosecution of the guilty

Merely Dribbings
From
The Thought Tank
By THORN
And the Rand PLAYED

And the Band Played On.
| am led to believe
That when the Palatka Players
Exhibit their prowess
At the SANITY City
Every loyal Augustinian
(Or is Augustinonion?)
Studiously stands at attention
And enjoys the good music.
If the attendance Sunday afternoon
Is to be criterion
Each of those SANITY people
Appreciated the excellent program,
And many are wondering
Why that city should stand
For an unusual weekly pay roll
For an imported body of musicians
When it could, much cheaper,
Patronized home industry,
And save several simoleons
On each and every concert?
l think an aldermanic board
Or an ordinary city council
Should handle public monies
Just precisely as carefully 7
AS if it all belonged
To some individual member;
And l do not believe
Any ordinary private person
Would pay out $4,000 or $4,000
For one seasons music.
If he did he'd be accused
IOf having more cash than brains,
But there are some people
Who'd not be forced very strongly
To have a great sum of money
To answer that description.
What | started to say
Was that the Palatka band
Made some mighty good music
Sunday afternoon at St. Augustine
And won excellent publicity
For the city of Palatka.
Yassum.
