PERIL OF NARCOTICS
BY CAPT. RICHMOND P. HOBSON
-II-Ertent of the Peril

OF morphine daily. eighty times q nor
NAL dose, and is paying 81 a grain
and up.
1t Is estimated that more than nine
tenths of all murders, hold-ups and
daring robberies are now committed
by addicts. 1t Is especially the addict
Of heroin who IS capable OF cruel and
daring crimes.
Sheriff william Traeger of Los An
geles County, California, declares that
30 per cent OF the crime committed In
that county is traceable 10 users Of
narcotics. The warden OF the Califor-
MIA State penitneuary at San Quentin
says 30 per cent Of the inmates OF
that institution have been users of
narcotics.
At the Federal institutions the per-
centage is also high. At Atlanta
prison 20 per cent of all criminals
sent there last year were addicts: at
Leaveaworth during the same period,
"a per cent sent to that institution
We're eddicts. During the last half of
1922. AZ per cent of all prisoners sent
to Leavenworth were violators OF the
Harrison anti-narcotics act
America is the special objective of
organized drug exploitation. The lat
est reliable figures show that Italy
consumes one grain of narcotic drugs
per capita per year. Germany two.
England three. France four and the
United States SO.
Already the amount consumed in
the United States is enough to drug
every man, woman and child in the
entire Nation for thirty days out of
every year. The amount consumed Is
! increasing at the rate Of more than
one-half grain per capita per year.
Our country is rapidly becoming q
drugged nation.
We need not wonder at the per
sistent wave OF crime and other
alarming symptoms in our social
structure.
Something effective MUST be done.
and done quickly.

STEADY NERVE IS

INMARBLE TILTS
a.
HootS of Crowd Can Get a
Champion Off His Style
in Quick Time.
BY EIARLIN MCCOY
First National Marble Champion

Nerve plays a big part in marble
shooting, especially when there is a
championship at stake.
A fellow has to keep his nerve or
he will blow a lot Of shots when he
is playing before a strange crowd. In
tournament games, the people who
watch the games nearly always do a
lot Of roofing. It is best not to pay
any attention to the crowd or to what
the people around the ring are saying.
A player who pays attention to the
rOoters viii very likely get ratified and
Jose his nerve Just like q baseball
player DOES when he listens to the
crowd that is yelling at hip'
Lots Of times a player who keeps
his mind on the game ana takes
plenty Of time for each shot can beat
a fellow who is a better shooter. but
who gets nervous and shoots in a
hurry when the game gets tight.
1t takes a steady eye to make a
good player, but 1t takes a lot of
enrve, too.
