the young girl for her hand in

get up nerve enough so he decided
to wait a few days.
Years passed by and Mccarthy
quietly gathered courage to make
the proposal.
Yesterday his friends at the

DRUG VENDORS
PEDDLE It
IN JAIL
BY KENNETH CLARK

Dope for sale in Jail"
This sign could be tackled on the
walls of several jails throughout
the country, for official Government
records show that dope not only is
struggled but can be purchased by
addicts in many prisons.
Because drugs are so easily con-
cealed authorities have been baffled
in breaking up the traffic.
Hop Heads Paradise"
In New York there is a Jail
known among the addicts as the
hop heads para disc" Prisoners
have testified that dope is cheaper
in the jail than outside.
Recently Federal officers received
a letter from two Young prisoners
in a Jail in Pacific Coast city.
One said he has received his first
"shot" there. The letter described
conditions as being virtually wide
open"
I'VE have seen plenty of booze
and dope" the prisoners wrote
Dope fiends who have money get
all the dope they want here. Those
who have no money have to lay
here and kick their habit.
we have seen an officer take a
dope fiend out Of here and when he
came back he had plenty OF dope.
I'VE have seen an officer passing
dope to an addict every dav as long
as his money held out. We have
also seen an addict go out into the
office and come back with dope and
two Of them sit down at the table
and shoot it"
Files Record Cases
These are not isolated charges
Government files are full of similar
eases. Sometimes convict addicts
peddle the stuff among their fellow
officials sell it to reap vast profits.
John W. Shook. ex-warden OF the
Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta. is
authority for the statement that
prisoners attempted to kill a guard
who had been energetic in ferretins
