LONDON, June s.-The parents

of the league of nations at Geneva
are worried over numerous newspa-
per dispatches from Switzerland re-
counting the wholesale traffic in CO.

1t is understood that several girl

parents who are fearful of leaving
them exposed to drugs.
Although the league keeps the ma
chinery and doings of its secreta-

that two girls were recently dis
charged and shipped to their homes
in England and France for being
cocaine addicts.
