New Victims Rise to Lure OF

In a steady stream each year ad.

police and correction agencies are
helpless to stem appreciably the
swirling tide.
One Addict in 100.
Throughout the United States
there is an average OF one addlct
for every 100 of population, accord
ing to the estimates. Or. Charles
e. Scoletn, head Of the Cook County
House OF Correction, estimates that

DR., Scoleth is recognized as an
authority on dope" cures. He has
handled more than 5000 cases, and
his cure IL accepted as standard
formula throughout the medical
world.
not decreased, am sorry to say
he said. Most Of them use NOR
phine. In New York 80 per cent OF
drug addicts use heroin.
New York Is the clearing house
of the illicit drug trade IN the
country" DR.. Scoleth said. Chi
cago addicts secure their supply
from Canada. New York gets its
supply from every ship that sails
into her harbor. The supply Is a..
most unlimited, and there would
seem to be no way by which that
supply can be greatly curtalieo.

not the mentality to fight the bat

he seeks surcease from worry in

Egyptians believed made them for
get the world and all it's worries"
Police and Federal narcotics ex-
perts here agree with DIR. Scoleth
that the use of narcotics is not in
creasing to any extent, but the ad-
diets are constantly changing. For
every one cured a new victim rises
to the deadly lure of the white
poppy.
So far as Chicago is concerned,
the Federal Narcotics Board and
the city police say, they are almost
helpless so long as the national
Government does nothing to re-
strict importations. The only hope,
they say, lies in drastic action by
Congress to shut off the apparently
inexhaustible supply from eastern
countries.

STOP DRUNKS ON
CONCRETE ROAD
Sheriff Robertson Announces
That Officers Will Arrest
Drunken Drivers at Inter-
national Bridge

The best way % eliminate the, men,
ace OF drunken drivers on the concrete
highway is to shut them off at the
source Of supply. and commencing to-
day any drunken automobile driver
crossing the international bridge % the
American side will be arrested as soon
as they get off the bridge" was the an
nourcement made this morning BY Sher-
iff Robertson. TITS the old sory of the
ounce Of prevention" he continued.
If they are permitted to enter the city
or drive onto the concrete highway
every drunk is n potential car-wreckcr,
and il they are taken from their cars
Immediately after crossing from Mata-
moros. given an opportunity to sober
up and then fined for driving a car
while in .oxicated, most Of the accidents
on the highway can be eliminated"
Two men will be assigned to the
bridge by the Shcriffs department, and
at least one man will be there day and
night. and il is understood The city DO
lice force will cooperate with them.
Every car in which the driver shows
symptoms Of being intoxicated will be
stopped. and in the event he driver can
be classified as "intoxicatcd an arrest
will be made. and an effort made to
secure the maximum fine Of $780,
Sheriff Robertson is also making an
effort TO secure the coopcra ion of the
Rotary Club. Board Of City Development
and other organizations in securing n
amendment to the law prohibiting the
driving Of automobiles BY aintoxfcs trd
persons. TO increase the maxim am Anc
from 500 to $500. A memorial will be
forwarded TO Governor Neff calling at
tention TO the inadeQuacy Of the Law
as IL now stands. and requesting hat
the amendment be submitted ut the next
special session Of the legislature.
Those who endaneer the lives Of the
public by driving on the highways while
intoxicated deserve more than a 500
fine" Sheriff Robertson said. I'm view
Of the accidents which have occurred.
not only here. but in all other parts Of
the coun.ry caused ny Drunken sutc
drivers. il is apparent that more strin-
gent law should be passed. or ut least
heavier fine should be imposed The
sheriff's department will make every ef-
fort to arres., convict and impose the
maximum fine on any person in Gamer
on county who drives an automobile
while intoxicated" NJ
Announcement was also made that n
representative Of the sheriff's depal-
ment would appear before the commits
sioners' court Monday with n request
that the court pass a ruling abolishing
the use Of spot lights on Cameron Coun-
IT, highways. County Attorney Kent
holds that such ruling Is clearly within
the legal preroeatives of the commits
sioners' court. and that il has he pow
err to abolish spotlights the same as IL
can abolish similar nuisances on the
public highway. The spotlights have
been prolific source Of accidents in
recen. months. especially on the prn.
cipal highways where their use is en-
tirely unnecessary.
