DRUG DREAMS CALLED MYTH
Research Has Shown That Habituai
Users of Opiates Can Do No
Lasting Good Work.

The gulf between the songs of pop
pies that breathe of sleep, the golden
and green dragons, and the ecstatic
dreams that mark the literature" of
drug addiction and the dismal side
of the vice which the police behold,
is brought out in an article by DR..
Carlton Simon, who emphasizes in the
Scientific American the fact that
opium, hasheesh, cocaine, heroin,
morphine and the rest are far from
lyrical.
From the standpoint of the POI
lice," he writes. 'aIl the romance of
the songs and short stories is swept
away on the fumes of drug which
brings depression. poverty, despair,
and DEATH" 1t has long been sus-
pected that the drug dream, as a
literary motif, was much overrated.
BY the time the addict is able to write
of his visons-if he has them-after
a. debauch, he is i'll and purposeless
and ready for another dose. For any
body but a DeQuincey a sniff is in
spiration enough for drug poem or
tale. Go further, and the dreams van
ish in q loathsome reality.

Admirers Throng White House
For First Reception of Kind
in Nine Years.
$500 ATTEND FETE
Thousands Stand Hours in Biting
Wind to Shake Presidents Hand;
Many Races Respond to Pub
lie Invitation.

Washington-Pr and Mrs.
Harding threw the White House doors
open to the public for the first New
Years reception held there for nine
years. The number responding to the
general invitation was officially esti-
mated at $500, many of whom stood
for hours in a biting wind and in a
slowly-moving column of tours which
extended for blocks from the Penn
sylvania avenue porticos.
The President and Mrs. Harding
met and shook hands with all, a
physical feat of no mean magnitude
and one from which they showed more
than few signs of strain at o'clock
when the last person in the line had
passed.
1000 Officials in Line.
The official section was received
from IL until o'clock and there were
approximately 1000 participating in
1t, headed by the cabinet, diplomatic
corps. members of Congress, army
and navy officers and the higher Of
ficials of the government establish
ments. The brilliant uniforms and
gala dress kept the big staterooms of
the White House full of color while
the curving driveways were damned
with automobiles The numbers were
swelled by the delegates and attend
ants upon the arms conference, all
Respondent in orders and decorations.
The gates of the White House en-
closure were swung back at 2 o'clock
for the public to enter and, led by the
inevitable small boy, the head of a
long column which had dared the JAM
uary breeze, swept forward to the
pillared entrance. A relocated ma
rine orchestra, divided in two sections
so that by alternating, continuous mu-
sic could be maintained, began its pro-
gram as the procession moved up.
The big doors were propped back and
for two hours the moving mass moved
through the massive entrance, it's in
dividual units jigging under the COM
bined stimulus of the music and the
cold.
"Keep Hands in Sight"
Secret service men, ushers and
gOld-cQrded military aides cut the
quadrille line down to single file, once
it was within the entrance. Under
their insistent instructions of keep
your hands in sight" many developed
a tendency to put both hands out in
front above the waistline and hold
them there. Uniformed police mean
while combed the column outside for
cameras, relentlessly relieving their
bearers or taking the boxes away for
deposit.
The presidential party stood in the
oval blue room just out of hearing of
the orchestra and the visitors passed
at the rate of 80 to 40 minute. This
speed was attained through the in
sistent pressure of aides and attaches,
and the President and Mrs. Harding
rose to the occasion, meeting the
physical test practically without flag
ging The crowd was thoroughly cos
mopolitan, representatives of many
races and nationalities. The children,
of whom there were many, were given
special attention.

BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

ORANGES, conception of her needs
! In the way of a defensive navy
and the firmness with which her dele
gates upheld their position brought
about a, complete deadlock in the
Washington conference last week and
made it almost certain that no agree
ment will be reached by the present
gathering concerning the reduction
and limitation of submarines and aux
Hilary naval tonnage. The other pow.
ers participating in the conference
were willing to concede the fairness
of the, French position concerning the
reduction of her land armament, but
they feel that in this naval matter
France is demanding too much.
Albert Sarraut, having received
fresh instructions from Paris, told
the. naval committee that France ac-
cepted the allowance of 175,000 tons
of capital ships, contingent upon per-
mission to begin replacement building
In 1927 instead of 1881. but insisted
that she be allowed 10000 tons of
submersibles and $4,000 tons of aux
Hilary ships. The submarine tonnage
he asked is equal to the maximum
proposed by Mr.. Hughes for Great
Britain and the United States and
three times what France now has. Y
Mr.. Balfour, in language as plain
as diplomatic usage permits, retorted
that France could want such subma-
rine fleet for no other purpose than
Illegal use against commerce, that the
plan was direct threat against
Great Britain, and that In the circum-
stances the British would agree to no
limitation in the building Of cruisers.
destroyers and other anti-submarine
vessels. To NJ. Sarraut's assertion
that British fears of French aggres-
sion were baseless since Britain was
allowed capital ship tonnage greater
than that of France and Italy com
iined, Mr.. Balfour replied that, in the
event of war between Great Britain
and France. England, having no large
army. could not strike at the heart of
France, but France, employing q great
navy of submarines against commerce,
could destroy the Every existence" of
Britain. To the layman it would seem
that Mr.. Balfour had the best of the
debate. but II. Sarraut was unyield-
ing. Therefore Mr.. Hughes, deploring
the attitude Of the French, an
nounced with regret that an agree
saent on the reduction and limitation
of submarine and auxiliary tonnage
appeared impossible.
