Hope for the Drug Victim.

Recent observations and investiga-
tions Of drug sddicts indicate that the
morphine victim is not wholly hopeless
as is generally supposed. The addition
to morphine is not characterized by
physical deterioration or impairment oi
physical fitness aside from the addic-
ton per Sc. This may seem highly sur
prising. Yet detailed clinical exani-
nations of many patients gave no evi-
dence of change in the circulatory.
hepatic, renal or endrocine functions
When it is considered that the persons
under observation had been addicted
for at least five years, some Of them as
long as 20 years, these negative obser-
yations are highly significant. Thus
there are substantial grounds for the
belief that, were 1t possible to relieve
the addict of his addiction, complete
rehabilitation might be expected.

HOLLYWOOD. June II CN.A.N.A9.-
Wnen horde of war veterans swooped
down on the f1lm colony's water front
at Malibu Sunday there was excitement
galore among the professional group at
the famous hideaway.
Claiming that they had right to post
claims under a congressional act of
1881, which permits war veterans to
secure by entry notice unappropriated
lands. some 1876 veterans posted steel
framed notices along the water front of
the colony's favorite beach and pro-
ceeded to fulfill the requirements of
seizure of "unappropriated lands" by
commencing to erect q cabin on part of
the seized property.
It's many a year since we've had

war had to be ousted with a few tear

at them before they would talk reason.
The veterans contend that the old
Spanish grant from which the Rancho
Malibu title has descended for scores
OF years does not include the water
front.
