More than $125, 900 is expended

twice the amount in question,

But whatever the amount is, it
is direct tax on the consumers

The dope ring-what is it, where
is it-when, where, and how? Is
It controlled and guided?
Who's back of it-who pro-
tects it?
What do we really know about
the mysterious beginnings of
dope, we here in America where
we use more than forty times
more dope than any other white
nation on earth?
Here in America, where we see
crime increasing day in and day
out?
Here in America, where we see
our prisons and our insane asylums
and our public hospitals and our
almshouses crowded to the doors
with victims of dope?
Here in America, where fam
lilies are being wrecked by the
thousands by dope?
What do we know about the
dope ring?
Not very much.
Most of us like to smile when
ever we hear OF it. It's always
easy to smile and look cynical
especially when nobody : in your
own family is a dope victim
yet, make no mistake about it,
there is q dope ring and a very
practical, very strong, very active,
very prosperous, very powerful,
very successful dope ring.
Protects Members in Trouble.
Not all the members of this ring
knew each other either by name or
by sight-but they belong to the
ring just the same, every one of
them, and when one of the number
gets into trouble through the using
Of dope. or the buying of dope, or
the selling of dope, or the SNUG
Cling Of dope-the ring gathers
around that one and protects him
and hides him and defends him and
regcues him and spends money
from the day, even the very hour,
that news of the trouble gets
abroad.
No dope peddler is ever so poor
or so friendless or so helpless that
ne cannot call on the ring to come
to his rescue any time, anywhere,
somehow.
The beginning of the ring is in
Agia; it comes from the East, the
birthplace of the plague of dope,
like many other plaques that have
deeimated the human race, the mys-
terious, evasive. subtle and secret
ease.
China, Persia, Turkey, the Straits
Settlements, LAHORE. all the British
possessions in the East are alive
with dope-they live and die by it.
In the Straits Settlements. where
Singapore is, the total revenue for
1920 was slightly over SAP 900 600,
and 9,983,054 came from opium.
In Hongkong the opium revenue
for 1919 was over $16,000.000 and
that was Al per cent of the total
revenue.
In LAHORE. one of the unfederated
Malay states under British protec'
ton, the total revenue for 1920
was about s11 .oo0, 900. and 100000
Of that came from opium.
India is the greatest opium pro
ducing country in the world or
was until China went. back tc

India alone raised over 900 tons
Of opi6m in 1920 and it only takes

she changed her opinion. She said

"And you'll not go out with them,
either" she said.
So Jimmy didn't. Every one for

what happens to n newly-married man.
Little by little he discovers that lie
is not married so much as chaperCn-
ed. His friends are not allowed OF
the premises and she doesn't allow
him on their premises. Most friends
realize that eventually the nGwly-mar-
ried man will strike for freedom, hut

her for cancelling the friends Of
