HOLMES OPENS
TRAVEL TALK
SERIES

In tourist parlance, it is we'll
said, THAT all roads lead to Lon
don," and so, Burton Holmes, vet
eran and intrepid globe-trotter,
chose the magnificent British
capital as his topic to inaugurate
the 1880 travelogue season at the
National Theater yesterday after
noon.
Present-day London is most
fascinating-modern, and yet one
notes occasionally hints of a me-
dieval past. 1t is obviously the
cultural center of the vast British
Empire, where in the various
quarters of the great Thames
metropolis are to be found repre-
sentative subjects of English rule.
The Piccadilly Circus of today is
truly modern and few of the struc-
lures that lined this renowned
thoroughfare during the war pc
riod are in evidence today. The
Bank of England, staid old finan-
cial Gibraltar of the crown, is
being reconstructed, with Yankee
architectural influence in evi-
dence; while the mammoth Sci
fridge enterprise in the heart CT
London'S commercial district is
an achievement of an American
merchant.
Hyde Park, that magnificent
botanical expanse in the heart
Of the capital, is to many the
very center of London's activity.
Here one beholds sights, pageants,
demonstrations and whatnotS that
are unlikely to be found any
where else on the globe. True,
Trafalgar Square, the Strand,
Mall, and Buckingham are VI.
brant in certain phases of the
city'S affairs. but in Hyde Park
alone does one encounter the
most unusual. Commonplace are
I the Soap-boX orators, divine heal
erS and pseudo Gladstones, who
rant and rave to the crowds that
gather about them.
GlimpSes of royalty were seen

SPEEDY ACTION
SEEN ON FOUR
MEASURES

Aroused by predictions that the
most important features of the
Administrators prohibition re-
organization program will fail in
Congress, the House judiciary
subcommittee in charge of the
WickerShaln commissions court
reform measures was called into
session today for final action on
four bills.
Refuting the gloomy forecasts
Of others, Representative Christie
pherSon (R0 of South Dakota,
chairman of the subcommittee,
predicted favorable action by the
subcommittee, the full Judiciary
Committee and action by the
House on the "juryless trial" and
other bills. .
Meanwhile Senate drys were
comforting on the resolutions of
Senators Norris (RO of Nebraska
and Wheeler CD of Montana,
both drys, for sweeping inveStiga-
tions of the federal dry law re-
gime.
Fight Looms in Senate
Failure of the Senate Judiciary
Committee to report either reso-
luton brought threats of militant
hackers of the investigation to
carry the fight to the Senate
floor.
The four bills before the
Christopherson sub committee
were:
l. Amending Jones law to de-
fine casual or minor prohibition
offenders, with maximum penal
ties Of $500 fine or six month"; in
Jail.
2. "Juryless trial" bill, which
gives U. S. commissioners the
right to try minor dry law cases
and district judges the right to
pass sentence upon their reports,
reserving to offenders the right
to demand jury trial within three
days.
3. Permitting service by publ
cation upon unknown owners of
buildings in paddock cases, to
prevent escape from paddock by
evading service.
4. Giving State officers the
right to make arrests for viola
lions of the Federal prohibition
law md proceed in Federal
courts.

mittee but by the whole commit
tee," said Chairman Christopher
son.

not prevent action in the House
In my opinion"
Representative TilSon of Con-
necticut, majority leader, indi-
Gated that presentation of the
court bills to the House would
be delayed until the Senate acts
on the tariff bill. He admitted
there is widespread opposition to
the court bills on constitutional
grounds.
Senator Brookhart CR) of
Iowa, a militant dry, issued
demand that the Senate COM
mittee authorize the prohibition
investigation. Senator Borah (R.)
of Idaho, Walsh CD Of Mon
tana and Howell (RO of Ne
braska all favor the inquiry.
Many drys were urging Shelv-
ing of the resolutions on the
ground that the Senate will pass
the bill transferring dry law en-
forcement from the Treasury to
the Justice Department, thereby
taking Secretary Mellon, Assist
ant Secretary Lowman and Prohi-
bition Commissioner Doran out
of the enforcement picture.

SALE Of DRUGS
IN DISTRICT
is CHECKED

The dope evil In the District,
q source Of wrecked lives, misery
and crime, has caused elaborate
red tape to be thrown around the
dispensing Of narcotics, even by
licensed physicians and pharma-
cistS. ..s.
In this city 271 pharmacists
are licensed to handle dope, and
a total of 1892 physicians, den
fists. veterinary surgeons, and
other medical practitioners.
The requirement Of numerous
forms and reports from those
who handle drugs as medicine
emphasizes the necessity for
being alert to the danger in
volved. In order that none
might be converted to illegal use.
an effort is made by Federal
authorities to account for every
grain brought into the District.
Report All Addicts
Physicians, Immediately upon
discovering that a patiept is a
drug addict. are required TO re"
port such diagnosis to the Fed
eral authorities or police, as con-
finement is considered a neces-
sary part Of a cure.
Pharmacists, and other retail
dealers, receive with their sup
plies q form printed at the
Bureau Of Engraving, listing in
detail the amount and kind of
drugs in stock. The disposition
of these must be accounted for
on a separate record.
An ordinary prescription blank
is used by the medical prac-
titioner when he prescribeS mar
cotic dose. The pharmacists rec
ord, which he is required to re-
port once a month to the authori-
ties, reveals just who ordered
drugs from the pharmacy and
how much.
Check Physicians
According to officials at the
Federal narcotic unit, many
physicians who write a larger
than ordinary number Of drug
prescriptions come under obServa-
ton Of authorities. Many, with.
out realizing it, have been checked
on but found innocent Of i'm
proper practice. Others have
come to grief.
Drugs are used by physicians
legitimately to ease ailments
where chronic pain exists, for
instance In treatment Of cancer,
bronchial asthma, or severe in
juries from accident.
In general, however, 1t Is the
trend Of medical practice to veer
away from narcotic prescribing.
In the latest available report Of
the Commissioner Of Prohibition
on the enforcement of the mar
cotic act, 319 grains of morphine,
431 of heroin, and SO Of cocaine
intended for illegal use, were
seized in the District, despite all
possible precautions to prevent
such illegal use.
Quit Drug Use
The trend away from medical
use of some drugs is noted in
a report Of the United States
Public Health Service, which
states:
"There has come better under
standing of the dangers and
therapeutic limitations Of opium
and cocaine, and these drugs are
no longer used in many of the
diseases for which they were once
commonly prescribed"
