With meetings scheduled by the

were taken to curb it's use. Only last october was it barred from the United States by federal provision.
 Marijuana is dangerous not only because of it's effect on an indi- vidual's health but also because it causes industrial unrest, sex crimes and overt acts of various kinds.
 MeTicanS Introduced Weed
 Marijuana was first introduced into the United States during the World War when Mexican laborers imported into the southwest brought it across the border It has since been a major problem in many of the states in that section. New Mex ico authorities recently blamed mar ijuana for more than half the crim- es committed there.
 The weed grows in dense clumps in most any soil and under even climatic conditions. It reaches a height of about IA feet and has a Towering top.
 H. J. Anslinger, commissioner of the U. s. Bureau of Narcotics, is one of the key men in the govern ment campaign.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Alarm- cd by the increasing threat to pub lie health and safety involved in the spread of the marijuana habit, fed eral authorities are uniting to fight this menace.
 Most alarming aspect of the sit uation is that marijuana is cheap weed, which grows wild and abund- antly under most any conditions, and is easily available to thousands, whereas morphine, cocaine and other drugs are expensive and diff cult to get.
 Because of its cheapness and av- ailability, marijuana is being ped dled freely in scores of cities. It is usually made up in cigarets, con- monly called "reefers," in which the tobacco is mixed with the pulverized leaves, stem and blossom of the marijuana weed. These sell as low as Is cents and can be manufactured
