Calderon's belief that man is the re-

death.
Mr.. Ditrichstein figures as the domi-
mating character, Crespo, who moves
with charm and power through vivid

into drunken courage. We live with
him in Spain itself-the Spain Of yes

mists, but Mr.. Ditrichstein presents
her in Right Is Might" in full glory
and shadow. He is supported by a
company of sixty people. The splen-
dor of the production is enhanced by

) In Washington, D. c., there was
recently held the National Anti
Narcotic Conference, and Uthai v.
Wilcox writes it up for The Watch
man Magazine, of Nashville, Tenn.
Under the caption, "Mustering For
ces to Fight the Drug Fiend," his
report appears in the the August
number. The findings of the con-
ference were startling revelations
Of dope addiction. Mr. Wilcox quotes
Hon. James A. Hamilton, Secretary
Of State of New York, as saying:
Drug addiction is on the increase
In the larger centers of population
in this country, as well as others.
What is more important is that the
drug addicts are generally between
the ages of twenty and twenty-five
years, which means that the use OF
| habit-forming drugs is sapping our
young manhood and womanhood, for
many Of the drug addicts are young
women" Another speaker said,
There is one drug addict to every
500 persons in the United States as
| far as can be estimated, and the
| traffic in narcotic drugs shows the
United State: to be the largest con-
suming country with an average Of
thirty-six grains Of opium per capi
tai as contrasted with one grain in
Italy, two in Germany, three in
| France and three and one hall
grains in Holland"
But horrifying as may be the
evidences of the ravages of the dope
evil, we are more concerned with
the constructive phase, with what
can be done to reclaim present
slaves or prevent future victims.
The law-enforcing group, represented
by Mr.. Meyer, City Attorney of
Houston, Texas, James A. Hamilton,
Secretary 6 State Of New York,
Cannon w. H. Bliss of Seattle, saw
"the need Of more policemen, stricter
laws, longer Jail sentences, more cor.
rective institutions, and harsher
treatment all the way around"
Another group saw in education
the escape from the evil. DR.. Geo.
