LONDON ALARMED By Late Increase in Drug Traffic—Violators of Law are Sentenced Every Day BUYERS MOSTLY GIRLS All Take Cocaine, Sniffing the Powder, After Hurrying Into Dark Corners (Ity Charles McCann, United Press staff correspondent) London — (By Mail) —London Is fighting nn army of dope-sellers who, from police court records, seem to rival in number those of any city in ( the world. Every day one or mare cocaine sellers are given three or six months' "hard" —for hard labor —for peddling their wares, almost exclusively in the small district between and around Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus—the heart of the more vicious nigiit life of London. Anyone who knows what ho sees may see girls any night “sniffing" cocaine in the streets of the district. The Piccadilly tube station at Piccadilly Circus is an observation post, for any one can see drugs sold and taken on the spot, amid hundreds of unconscious theater-goers.

The dope traffic in Izmdon is carried on by both men and women in about equal numbers. The buyers are principally girls, and they all take cocaine, "sniffing" the powder instead of using a hypodermic needle, which, though more effective, is harder to use. An observer in one of the dark side streets running off Coventry street, which forms a two-hundred yard link between Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus, will not have to wait for more than a few minutes to see a couple of girls hurry into a dark corner, take a hurried sniff and. relieved, hurry back to the bright lights of the street that forms their nightly promenade. It is possible to see men—the girls do not get up so early—taking their matutinal sniff in the fog or sunlight of Piccadilly Circus at 10 or 11 o’clock in the morning. There is little trouble with morphine in London, and practically none with heroin, which is practically unknown. But the east with which opium or cocaine may be smuggled into the Port of the World by one of the innumerable seamen of almost innumerable nations who bring in a few ounces or pounds is making it hard •for the police to suppress the traffic. s—s—s— WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s
