DOPE PROFITS ARE ENORMOUS IN NEW YORK One Chinaman Said to Hare Made $29,000 on SIOO Investment. NETT YORK, April 20—The o£ administering to dope victims in the TTnlted State and esperlally 'n congested New York are simp',/ enormous. One Chinese laborer Is known to have cleaned up 529.000 on an Initial investment of not more than 5100 in a very few months. The dope is brought in from Canada by girl smugglers in some cases and in others it is imported in quantity lots from European ports, particularly from France and Germany under false man.fests. Sailors, too, bring in opium and heroin, not only from European ports, but from South America , and Havana. It is not the purpose to recommend the j means of curbing the traffic, but merely to describe some of the effects as ob- | served by the police and government au- j thorlties In their recently renewed efforts . to stamp out the vice. A young ship's purser, not more than ; 23 years old, signed on a ship at the \ I’ort of New York for a six monthss' i cruise to take him through the canal j and up the west coast, thence to the ! Orinet. He was known to associate with . a certain actress of rather dubious ac- . quaintances on Broadway, who had spent j several seasons on tour in "second com- ; panics, of musical comedies, was re- I garded as ‘'straight” and it was under- j stood that they would be married on his return. For then he would have an accumulation of six months’ salary at S2OO a. month, plus his tips, which would be considerable. After a few weeks, however, the youngster reappeared in a speakeasy. He was prosperous without working. He had made a connection with a wholesale dealer of dope, operating from a South

TRUST There was ane person In the world he trusted —the woman he was to marry. Then Barry Houston learned that she had betrayed him. Don't miss the first installment of "The White Desert,” Bn adventure novel of Colorado timber lands. It begins in The Indiana Daily Times, Monday, May 1. American city, to become a New York peddler of the product. The stuff would be kept corning to New York in the pockets and personal baggage of two or three reliable merchant sailors. There would be high profits in it for all. The romance with the little showgirl expired. Heartbroken, she took to the road in "any old show" to be away from Broadway and the boy who was wasting himself. lie is still at out the street, but like so many scores of other young men who become the agents for dope importers, selling and handling cocaine and heroin, the purser began using his own drug. Now he can't quit the business. And in the end the authorities will get him, if first he does not succumb to the frightful strain on his nervous system or is not killed by some dopecrazed addict, without money, who must have his cocaine. The police know many young and old men and quite a number of beautiful young girls on Broadway, in and out of the smart cases and hotels at night, welldressed, apparently cultured, prosperous in outward appearance, whose livelihood is gained by peddling "decks" of cocaine to addicts. A deck is one paper like the wrapping of a scidlltz powder. But the stuff is also sold In little candy stores, concealed in chocolate creams and is purveyed in many other forms which make it almost impossible for the authorities to suppress the traffic without first cutting off the sources of supply.

What? Here? No! It Couldn't Be, So Where Did They Go? SHELBYVII.LE, Ind., April 2d.—William R. Van Sickle and Burt It. Van Telt were arrested here on charges of unlawfully possessing intoxicating liquor. They claimed to the Federal officers who made the arrests they had secured the liquor in Indianapolis. Friar Praises U. S. for Help in Famine LONDON, April 2(l.—That the T'nited States is already grappling with the Russian situation, while others are only groping about it. was the declaration made by FMur Bernard Vaughan to a representative of the American Relief Administration, with whom he was discussing the horrors of the Volga Taller. “The only comfort, as one reads the story of Russian starvation, plague and misery,” said Friar Vaughan, the wellknown Jesuit preacher, “is the realization that the United States knows something about it, which means they hare got there on both feet and are grappling with the situation, while others are groping about it. “Language !s altogether Inadequate to describe the horrors of the ' universal famine which sin-e the war has pervaded the civilized world,” Friar Vaughan said. “But if European Levites and others pass by," he said, “the American Samaritan pauses over the s’arvlng multitudes and, like the Divine Muster, has pity on then. “May God bless the citizens of the great republic for following the Master’s example! May God bless my untiring friend, Mr. Hoover, and nay he and all other Americans never want, but ever prosper for doing what they have done!” Asking §35,000 of Christ Church FT. WAYNE, Ind., April 2A—Elmer G. Giggy. a retail grocer, has filed suit in the Allen County Circuit Court for $."o.000 damages from the Rev. Henry C. Hadley, pastor end eight members of the Christ Lutheran Church, for alleged excommunication. Giggy says he was formerly assistant superintendent of the Sunday School, and without formal charges being preferred against him, his church membership was cnnceled. THE MODERN MOTHER faces problems far beyond those of her forbears. She herself must be a much more competent person, combining In one individual the duties of nurse, cook, teacher and moral instructor. It Is no wonder that many conscientious women break under the strain, and that others , drag out a miserable existence; always tired, and yet unable to take a day's i vacation. Such women will find themselves benefited and their burdens made easier by the use of Lydia E.
