So there they are. But the police are

DRY FUNDS URGED
TO CURB NARCOTICS
Sirovich Claims Big Gain in
AddictS Since Dry Law
Passage.

Diversion of some of the money used
for prohibition enforcement to bring
about stricter enforcement of the mar
cotic drug laws was urged in the House
today by Representative Sirovich, Demo-
crat, New York.
IF there ever was humane legislation
that is necessary at the present time,
he said, ut is cooperation from every
state of the Union. through its Legis-
lature, that will help rapidly to enforce
the drug laws. We have one enforce
ment agent for the anti-narcotic law
for every 500 900 citizens of the United
States. We have 200 men who are asked
to enforce the anti-narcotic laws
amongst 120.000,000 people.
THE total amount of money spent
for the enforcement of the drug laws
in this Nation is the sum Of 1900, 900
How much better and greater 1t would
be II we would take away some OF the
$36. 1000 900 for prohibition which Is
unenforceable and utilize part OF IL 70
enforce a law that the citizenship OF
our Nation is praying and hoping VII
be rigidly enforced"
Creation Of Board Urged.
The New Yorker, who is q physician
also recommended. creation of mterna-
tional board, composed OF representa-
tives of nations in which opium or Its
derivatives are manufactured, TO control
production of the drugs.
Asserting that the drug evil is threat
ening the welfare Of our young men
and women by the thousands" and that
the number OF addictS In New York
City alone has been estimated between
10000 and 100000, Sirovich said that
knV nf
derivatives would supply the legitimate
needs of all of North and South Amer
lea, almost 200 tons were struggled into
the United States last year. Eighty
five per cent of this. he added, came
through the port of New York.
Claims Addicts Growing.
when the Koran forbade its follow
erS all forms Of alcoholic beverages,
he continued, 'the MohammedanS
found in opium q welcome substitute,
and today the same deadly substitution
Is taking place, not in Islam, not
among the Mohammedans, but here in
the United States, where prohibition
has driven those psycopathic constitu-
tionally inferior types. who fear to drink
liquor because 1t may be poisoned, into
the ranks of addictS who use these
drugs to bring them from the world OF
reality into o world Of imagination.
80 we have the pitiful spectacle OF
having four times the number OF drug
addicts after prohibition we had prior
TO prohibition"
Reiterating his plea for international
supervision Of opium production, DR.
Sirovich aSaSiled Great Britain for
establishing an opium monopoly which
encourages poppy growing even to the
extent of lending money without interest
TO those who are willing to cultivate the
plant" and charged that England to-
day has unofficial agents throughout the
world drugging poor and unSuspecting
victims"
The poppy, he said, is grown chiefly
in countries under the British flag OF
influence, with the bulk Of the crude
opium being sent to England and Scot
land, where it is refined and sent to all
parts Of the world.

Work as Unemployment Relief.
BY the Associated Press.
Relief of unemployment by a con-
struction program to carry out Hood
control plan of storage reservoirs for
run-off waters of the tributaries of the
Mississippi was recommended in the
House today by Representative Johnson,
Republican, Nebraska.
Warning that hungry men are dan
geIv4S men" and that ''it IS heart
less and a dangerous policy for nations
to shut their eyes to the fact OF I'M
employment" the Nebraskan said "a
means must be found whereby labor
shall be employed and not remain hun
grily and dangerously idle"
"NatiOn-Wide. cooperation in sucn q
flood control program should be avail
able at this time" he added, in suggest
ing that the best way whereby idleneSs
shall be avoided and labor employed
with decent remuneration shall be the
undertaking of great public works that
are needed in times Of general unem-
ployment."
Turning to discussion Of the reser-
voir plan, he said IF we work with
nature, rather than in opposition TO
her laws, we can work out more ettl-
cient, extended, useful and suitable
system of retention reservoirs and nat
ural hoodways designed to secure bet
ter distribution of water to further all
economic uses. We can protect our
soils, our bridges, our corps and our
lives
The Nebraskan referred to the water
conservation and flood control con-
ference at McCook, Nebr.. last January,
attended by representatives of nine
States. at which a declaration of policy
in support of the reservoir plan was APP
proved, and added:
THAT 1t is feasible and practical, and
that it is financially justifiable to build
these storage reservoirs, is widely the
opinion of the engineering profession"

Ripping of the skylight on the roof
of Jacks clothes shop, at 1872 Seventh

dropped into the establishment and
made off with approximately $1,000

chair placed on top of the case for the
robbers to make their escape from the

Of the former President and Chief
Justice to wish him q speedy recovery.
Some contain advice for his physicians

Gus maladies.
These sometimes recommend the

advised that the patient be put on a
diet of lots of brown potatoes, oat-
meal with brown sugar, and all the
orange juice he can take"
DR.. Francis Hagner, one Of Mr.. Taft's

probable selection for the post.
Scandrett explained that he expected
Bonner might be named because the
cabinet secretaries who select the Sec
rotary were apt to name an engineer
from the West.
Bonner has recently been under fire
in an investigation OF the Power Com
mission by a Senate committee, charges
having been made that he favored the
power interests"

subsidiaries by the American Gas.

subsidiaries could get satisfactory con-
Struction supervision for 100 per cent
more than the holding company charged.
He added that the Indiana b Michigan
paid the American Gas one-half Of one
per cent in purchasing fees and thereby
saved from 9 to 10 per cent.
English testified that his concerns
had made no contributions to campaign
expenses of candidates for the Senate
or presidency since 1928.
English also added that his concern
had borne no expenses In campaigns
against municipal ownership of public
utilities.

sumers in another continued today.
Under congressional authorization the
