BLAME FOR DRUG
ADD|CTS LAID
To DOCTORS
By KENNETH CLARK

~, By KENNETH CLARK
Before the last decade, authorities
generally agreed that the chief
causes Of drug addiction were pri-
marily unwise administration Of
drugs by physicians.
Present-day experts believe the
causative factors are three-fold. as
explained by DR.. Walter L. Tread
way, chief Of the narcotics division
OF the United States Public Health
Service.
"Our study convinces me that 70
per cent of drug addiction is caused
by bad associations, rs per cent by
medical administration of drugs to
relieve pain and per cent by curl
osity on the part of persons seeking
n new pleasurable excitement" said
DIR. Treadway.
Experts View Problem
The Bureau of Social Hygiene,
inc, of New York, has published a
book by DR.. Charles E. Terry and
Mildred Pellens on the opium prob
lem. The authors review exhauS.
lively the opinions Of medical ex.
pertS on the causes of addiction.
Some of the opinions follow:
Carl Scheffel-"We learn from
medical history that the medical
profession is directly responsible
for an Overwhelmingly large per.
centage of drug addicts. From the
same source we likewise learn that
in caring for these unfortunates,
medical fads have held, and are
still holding sway. Pecuniary in
terests seem to have crowded out
scientific pursuit, and little real
good has been accomplished in
either eradication of the habit, or
the cure of its victims"
League of Nations Committee
''In Europe and in countries whose
customs are similar to those of
Europe, the abuse of drugs occur
chiefly as a consequence of their
employment for medical purposes"
C. E. Sceleth-"It is a terrible
stigma on our profession that in
% per cent of the cases of chronic
Gorphinism. the drug was first ad-
aASlistered by a physician; and that
ID less than 10 per cent it was not
given for its prime indication-in.
durable pain"
Physicians Blamed
r. x. Dercum-"Physi cannot
rid themselves of the great respon.
nibility involved in the abuse Of
. morphine, for it must be admitted
4; that it is too frequently prescribed
Cor comparatively trivial affections.
and that some physicians are alto.
Rether too ready with the use of

L. L. Stanley-"Besides pain. and
disease, there is a nervous strain
of modern life, or the mania
Americana which is temporarily
relieved by the soothing effects Of
opium, but which is subsequently
made worse by the continued use.
Physicians are prone to it's, use.
They are in daily contact with the
drug, and although they realize
the firm grasp with which it takes
them, many, endeavor to fling aside
their troubles and cares or to stim-

FIGHT COMPULSORY
AUTO INSURANCE
Companies in Maryland Said to
Oppose Law, Fearing State
Will Take Over Business.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 11.-Fear that
the State will eventually take over all
automobile insurance is causing OPP
position on the part of insurance COM
panieS of Maryland to compulsory
automobile insurance law, according to
an official of the Automobile Club OF
Maryland.
Approximately one-third of the
automobiles in Maryland are owned by
persons irresponsible financially" he
declared, land at least half OF the
drivers who figure in accidents are
unable to pay for personal injury and
damage to property inflicted by them.
1T is difficult to obtain the exact
figures in connection with automobile
accidents, but statistics show there are
a shocking number of cases in which
compliments are unable to get penny
for even serious injuries.
About one-third of Maryland's auto
mobiles are insured, one-third are
owned by persons responsible financial
ly and the remaining third are owned
by persons irresponsible financially.
1T is the financially irresponsible
driver who is the reckless driver. He
does not have to worry about the cost
Of an accident. Usually he has very
small equity in his machine and can
get used cars from $25 up.
Congestion of the streets and tAe
number of automobiles are increasing
rapidly. In the hands Of an irreSpon-
sible driver the automobile is, as never
before, a menace to the public safety.

ures be taken to provide for mutual

GERMANS STUDY
u. S. CAR PROBLEMS
Gasoline Tax and Other
LeVies Affecting Motor
Travel Get Attention.

The American gasoline tax, other tax
levies affecting motor transportation,
methods Of highway financing, and the
relation of rail and motor transporta-
ton are being carefully studied by rep
resentatiye5 Of the German government.
the German automobile industry and
by other German allied interests, who
are now on tour of the United States.
The American Automobile Associa-
ton, which has placed the facilities of
a. A. A. motor clubs III all parts of the
country at the disposal of the German
delegation. points out that the expert
enceS of this country in the taxation
field will in all probability lead TO q
new tax structure affecting tho automo-
bile and highways in German.
Primarily interested in the gasoline
taxation as a means of highway financ-
ing" says the national motoring body,
the members of the delegation have
been greatly surprised at the almost
universal tendency to periodically in
crease this tax In view of the steady
rise in this form of taxation, some
members have been keenly interested
in where will it end. When will legis-
lators see that the limit has almost
been reached? This is the question
asked by many.
"At the same time, noting the ire
mendous quantity of gasoline sold with
out the payment of tax, supposedly for
other use than for the automobile,
members of the German party are in
teresting themselves in the question OF
whether payment Of the gas tax is be-
ing eVaded and whether or not the in
creaseS will tend to make for more and
more evasion by users in the latter
category"
The A. A. A. says another problem be-
ing carefully studied is the tendency III
this country to devote portions of the
gasoline tax to schools and other gov
ernmental activities. instead of using
the entire fund for roadbuilding, for
which the tax was primarily intended.
The American Automobile Association
is cooperating with the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, state
and local highway officials and othe"
units, in order that the visitors mav
study every phase of the problems III
which they are interested.

"PROBE" BUREAU
AIDS D. C. TRAFFIC
Investigations Are Conducted Into
Reported Violations of Codes
and Permits.

One branch of the Police Department
that functions daily. does great deal
Of constructive work, which the gen.
eral public never hears anything about,
is the Bureau of Investigations in the
Traffic Bureau. This bureau was in
Stituted by the present assistant super
intendent of the Traffic Bureau, E. w.
Brown, when he was made an inSpec-
tor in 1926 and placed in charge of the
Traffic Bureau. The first officer assigned
to that work was Pvt, now Sergt. Mil
ton D. Smith. Later Sergt. l.. T. Kelly
was placed in charge. During his alb
sence from the city on military leave
for the last three months Sergt. Smith
has been assigned by Assistant Supt.
Brown to take care Of this important
work.
This bureau is really a one-man de-
partment, although at times when work
becomes extra heavy an additional pri-
vate is assigned to assist in the inves-
LEGATIONS. The precincts take care of
all accidents that happen in their re-
spective districts, and all complaints OF
the usual nature that occur in pre-
cinct are or should be reported to the
precinct, but many cases are brought
directly to the Traffic Bureau. These,
with many written complaints as to Sc
rious violations of the regulations, as
well as Investigations as to placing of
signs, one-way streets, parking restric-
tons in outlying sections and many
other matters that affect the motorist
and pedestrian, are investigated. In
many instances, some of these cases take
a long time and mean that several per-
sons have to be interviewed. In one
case of a request to make certain
street a one-way thoroughfare, which
was in the form of a petition, 85 per-
sons were seen personally and inter-
viewed before a report was made.
One typical month of this bureau
showed that there had been referred
for investigation 1903 cases, and during
that same period investigation was made
and reports submitted in SO Of these,
leaving only % not completed. Among
the matters this bureau handles is the
investigation into the character and
habits of all persons who have had
permits revoked or suspended; each per-
son who makes request that their per-
NIT be restored to them must make an
application in writing to the director
of traffic, who requests that the Traffic
Bureau make an investigation. These
cases call for special investigation and
careful check on all letters of reference
and take considerable time, and it Is in
the interests of the safety of the travel
ing public that these investigations are
made by some one trained in this work
who knows the habits and characters
tics of drivers.

Good Roads to Louisville Now

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Smooth high
ways leading to Louisville, where the

marked contrast to those travelled by
carriage and horseback when the city

The thousands of horse lovers ex-

motor highways, with good connections
in every direction, where the earlier
travellers found mud roads which were
little more than trails.
When Louisville became a racing
center a century ago the surrounding
country was almost wilderness, yet
many persons came to see the races.
Today the country is crisis crossed
with paved and hard-surfaced roads ex-
tending from Chicago, Indianapolis, st.
