DRUG ADDICTS
ON DECREASE
Smashing of Narcotic Ring
a Step in Easing the
Violations
JAPAN IS BLAMED

WASHINGTON sharp drop in
the number of non-nedical drug ad-
diets for the fiscal year just ended
has been reported to Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau by H. J. An
singer, narcotics commissioner.
Mr. Anslinger said that non-med-
ical addicts in the country probably
did not exceed $4,000. and the ratio
Of addiction, which previously had
been considered as one per 1000.
had dropped to about one per 5000.
He reported the crushing of "a
narcotic drug smuggling conspiracy
of worldwide ramifications, when
the bureau of narcotics and Gus
toms agents arrested members Of
ring headed by Jasha Katzenberg,
Joseph Lvovsky and Louis Buchal-
ter, alias Lepke, at New York. He
said the ring smuggled drugs from
Tientsing, China, sufficient to sup
ply the needs Of 10000 addicts for
a year.
Japan Is Blamed.
This case was a forceful demon
stration Of the absence Of control
over illicit narcotic drugs in the
Japanese-dominated areas in Chi
na," Mr.. Anslinger said.
James H. Moyle, customs COM
missioner, reported that illicit drugs
continued to come into the port of
New York in considerable quantities
and were apparently being trans
ported overland to inland cities. He
said the price of narcotics in New
York had remained fairly constant.
During the year the bureau of
narcotics seized 9.561 ounces Of
drugs. as compared with 21,41S
ounces the preceding year. Arrests
numbered 3,206 for the 1888 fiscal
year, ended June 80, compared with
3,469 in the 1887 fiscal year.
Liquor Violations.
Rejecting the general decline of
the illicit liquor traffic, there was
noted a decrease in the activity of
non-tax-paid liquor violators. Dur
ing the 1888 fiscal year, 25,884 per-
sons were arrested for violation of
the federal liquor laws, against 29,-
447 for the year before, according to
the report of Stewart Berkshire.
deputy commissioner of internal
revenue.
During the 1885 and 1896 fiscal
year large seizures Of mash, the
recognized criterion of illicit dis
tilling operations. were made in the
North and Middlewest. In the 1887
and 1888 fiscal years there was
shift of mash seizures to the south
ern states. territory essentially
the base Of operation Of the small
violator Of the liquor laws.
Chief Frank J. Wilson of the Sc
cret service reported that counter
felt notes aggregating s619,290 were
seized during the 1888 fiscal year,
as compared with S654,787 in the
preceding year. Counterfeit coins
in the amount Of $54, ,423 we're con-
iscated by the secret service in
1888 against $67, 1873 in 1887.

styled on period lines having a tiny
low-cut basque bodice with very full
skirt banded in the deep garnet
organdy. The matching bolero
tunes it to informal wear.
It's the fashion for dainty cotton
sheers to be made up in the sweet
simplicity mode with ribbons run
through yards and yards of bead
ing and other cunning details that
are reminiscent of great, great
grandmamma's day. See in the gown
pictured to the right how enhancing
ly this scheme of things is being
tuned to current style trends. The
material for this fetching gown is
sheer cut-out embroidered Swiss or
CANDY with fitted basque bodice and
detachable pulled sleeves. Deep
rose grosgrain ribbon landings
show through the transparent weave
most quantity and effectively.
The beautiful draping quality of
Swiss cloque organdy is stressed in
an off-shoulder style for festive wear
as shown centered in the picture.
A fine star patterning with tiny
eyelet in each star is printed on
pale blue background to make this
ingenious dinner and evening frock
with its softly gathered off-the-
shoulder bodice and full sweeping
skirt. q
Among the hosts of lovely organ
dies and Swisses whose endearing
young charms are making such
definite fashion appeal for summer
there's nothing prettier to be found
than the more-popular-than-ever
transparent organizes that are del
icately shadow-printed in subtle
lace motif accented by use of
matching lace as trimming. Then
there are such delightful effects as
an apple green permanent finish
Swiss organdy in a floral shadow
printed bouquet patterning on a
crisp, clear transparent ground.
Crystal clear organizes both in
pastel monotones and deep tones
are beguiling for gossamer sheer
dinner and evening gowns styled to
emphasize the daintiness of this
type.

child that the other parent is neglected.

individual who really wants marriage
because to them life is complete only
when they have one person to build

possess. Two people with such an
objective usually find a happiness that
is rare in this world because they are
the world to each other. Each is willing
to submerge into each other Pride,
jealousy and dishonesty have no place
in their lives. Personally, I believe to
strive for this kind of love spells con-
tentment in the mind and home.

Bustle Dress Is
In Style Picture

1t is difficult to imagine the hustle
dress coming back into the style pic
ture, but from signs that tell it is
not only coming but it's here. The
movement began with disposition
among several Paris couturiers who
advocated fullness brought to the
back in skirts-a fashion that is
widely accepted at the moment. De-
signers recently returned from the
Paris openings say that the theme
has been taken up to such an ex-
tent many dresses reflect the hustle
influence in no uncertain terms via
big bows placed at the waistline and
via hip drapery that terminates in a
hustle line at the back. For the
most part the hustle trend is con-
fined to formal evening gowns al
though several afternoon lowered
chiffons have taken on tiers of ruff
fies at the back starting at the
waistline.
