Drug e; Habit

FL Paso, Tex, Mar EEL Paso has
drug problem to solve, and accord
ing to city and county officials. it is a
serious one. Mrs. Emma Webster
county probation officer, in state
ment asserts that more than 100 boys
here are confirmed drug addicts.
Daily she is confronted by heart
broken parents, who have Just found
mat their children are using mar
cotlcs in some form. One belief eX-
pressed by those who claim to know
is that a modern ''Fagin" is teaching
young people to use narcotics. Snug
slers are believed to be the chief
source of supply. Mrs. Webster said
that many children in Juarez are
forming the habit or already are con-
firmed addicts to the use of various
drugs.
Curiosity is one of the chief factors
IN the forming of the habit, authors
ties say, as many will try it once, ig-
norant of the misery that follows. A
lew years ago. according to corpora
ton judge Charles Pollock, one could
have counted the drug users on the
fingers of one hand. Now, he says,
thefe is an average of one a day at
least before him. not counting the
many who fall into the hands of fed
eral officers, and are sent to Leaven-
worth prison for cure.
Drug addicts are not now confined
to the poverty stricken, but are found
in all walks of life, from the poorest
to the members of the rich socia,
circles. college boys and girls and
various employees of the business
world. according to these authorities.
Judge Manuel Ayala. of the Juarez
lower courts declares that the tricks
employed by narcotic vendors are
many and varied and constitute
difficult problem for the officers.
One trick was discovered When
man was arrested for selling small
match boxes 10 boys at 25 cents each.

the allied governments will permit
the former emperor to exchange the
narrow confines OF his exile for the
wide publicity and amusemepts of
