lighthearted, certainly quite different
from the Lindbergh who landed from

back, carrying his son, Jon, in his
arms.
Col. Lindbergh was asked whether
he planned to 90 on to Ireland for
the first departure of an Imperial
Airways' ship from Foynes for Amer
lea. which is believed to take place
next week.
Yes" he replied, Il think prob
ably will be going over"
Otherwise, Lindbergh maintained
his traditional silence, but it was
silence that had nothing unfriendly
about it.
1t was very plain that the British
government is making a considerable
effort to display its friendship for
Lindbergh. At a luncheon which fol-
lowed departure of the Centurion

Officer Harvey A. Barnett of the

the escape by police radio, stopped
the cab at Seventh street and South

the driver and another man in the
cab to the county jail. The women
were returned to Occoquan last night.

POLICE MAKING AIN
INVESTIGATION HERE
Sample of Confiscated
Cigarettes Sent to Fed
eral Authorities

The treacherous Marihuana
cigarette, which made its APP
pearance in this country several
years ago, is now being sold in
HagerstoWn, in the opinion of
local police officers. Samples
confiscated several days ago
have been sent to the Federal
Narcotic Bureau for analysis,
and the police are now awaiting
reports of the Governments
findings.
The suspected habit-forming,
drug-loaded cigarettes, were taken
from white woman several days
ago by the officers, who brought
her to headquarters for question
ing. The arrest was made in the
colored section of Hagerstown,
where it is reported by the inves-
tigating officer, the purported
sales are thought to be made.
They are, however, without clues
as to the source of the supply. 1t
is believed, however, that the Gig
arettes are being bfought here
from nearby city, where, several
months ago, Federal agents con-
fiscated large supply and later
discovered a farm near Baltimore
on which the weed was being
grown.
Marihuana is probably one of
the most dangerous and habit
forming drugs known to medical
science. 1t affects the smoker
not unlike other drugs and the
habit of smoking the weed is ex-
ceedingly difficult to conquer.
