ILLIGIT DRUGS : FLOOD AMERICA

Greatest Quantity in History Now Entering Country.

SMUGGLERS BRING IN “DOPE"

Federal and City Governments Driven to Extreme Measures to Check and Blot Out Evil—Smuggling of Narcot, ics Is as Systematic and Well Organ, ized on Business Lines as Smuggling of Liquor—Forged Permits Anothes _Source of Evil. : :

~ America ils being flooded with' thq greatest quantity of illicit drugs in his, tory, writes Edward Thierry in thgq Chicago Post. ‘ Where do they come from? How? The peril of these narcotics, breeds ing crime and breaking down the nas tion’s health and potentiality, is driwvc ing federal and city governments tq extreme measures to check and blof out the evil. : _ Smuggling of narcotics is as syste matic and as well organized on busi ness lines as the smuggling of liquor Like the latter, there is no “internas tiondal ring”-—no single “drug king’'— but the big smugglers work in concert for their mutual protection. In 1020 opium, legally imported, amounted to 1,100,000 pounds from England and 94,409 pounds frem Jay pan. j Smuggled opium, and its derivatives, morphine and heroin, in most caseg originate as manufactured articles in England, after the poppy leaves arqj brought from China and India. Cmi caine comes frem South America, mos{ of it via Europe; it is derived from thql Coca Erythroxylum plant, : l ; Danzig Smuggling Center. | The free city of Danzig and cities in Belgium and Italy are also smuggling! centers. : ‘ Synthetic cocaine is the newest meny ace. Dr. Carlton Simon, special deputy; police commissioner of New York, say§ an agent he sent abroad found thaf German chemists have made it com | merclally possible to manufacture cos caine as a coal-tar byproduct. i “This drug, the most popular among addicts, 1s being smuggled into Ameis ica in amounts far in excess of natura!l | production,” says Doctor Simon. i A great deal of crude opium is brought 1@\&; this country, manufacs tured into morphine and heroin, aud then shipped to Canada or Mexico. All track of it having thus been lost, it ig smuggled back into this country. ' Vieing with the big smugglers, whql bring .in trunks and bags filled with drugs, are those who use forged perwi mits to withdraw narcotics in buil from government bond. : This is. an important source of cony traband drugs. In Detroit a forged permit for 1,600 ounces of gum opluml was seized recently. : ~ Thrown From Ships. 1 - Paralleling liquor smuggling, 10,00 Q! cans of cocaine were thrown off al steamer approaching New York harbor, and seized by revenue officers beford a confederate’s launch could retrievq them.;, - Ships frequently throw off wateny proof bags, each containing 100 ounces of illicit drugs. ’ i ,Government agefits arrested & Brooks lyn letter carrier who had a blue papern package, made by a London chemist for the Italian trade, contalning threq and one-half ounces of cocaine. A hundred such packages had been smugy gled into the country in bulk, tot_a,un‘; 3,600 ounces. \ In the last few months $25,000 wor:’ of narcotics were seized on a Britl freighter, a great quantity of cocaing was found in olive e¢il barrels on 1q French steamer, a steward on thae steamer Finland was arrested ang $40,000 worth of cocaine seized, an $160,000 worth of cocaine was confiss cated on an Italian steamer. : The biggest raid on smugglers oc curred in September, when government agents boarded the Greek steames King Alexander in New York harbor, Five sailors were shot and 327 prlson-l ‘ers taken, of whom two officers, ning sailors and a dock guard were convicts ed and sent to prison. - o Doctor Simon estimated $120,000 weorth of illicit drugs are sold daily in the street market of New York. o “Nearly every ship coming into New York has a consignment of drugy which sailors or passengers are bring. ing in for smugglers,” he says. :

RAPID ADVANCE MADE IN FLYING

New Record Marks End of 18 Years’ Aviation Work. '

Wilbur Wright in December, 1903, Flew 69 Seconds; Recently Edward ~ Btinson Flew More Than 26 Hours ~—Wonderful Achievements of Amer- ~ ican Aviators Mark the Year 1921 —Navy Racer Makes an Average Speed of 176.7 Miles an Hour.

- Man’s first feeble flutter in his conquest of the air lifted him aloft for the fleeting period of fifty-nine seconds. Eighteen years later he soared eagle-like through space for twenty‘six and one-third hours. : When Wilbur Wright, in a heavier-than-air machine, flew 852 feet at Kitty Hawk on December 17, 1903, the feat was pronounced one of the marvels of the century. The whole world rang with the accomplishment. - : Recently a monoplane, piloted by Edward Stinson, accompanied by ‘Lloyd Bertaud, a mechanic, finishéd a continuous flight of 28 hours 19 minutes 85 seconds., In eighteen years a span of less than a minute had been stretched to more than a day and a night. . Yet the marvelous performance at Mineola is heralded as simply the breaking of a world's endurance flight in aviation. : ' Many Lives Sacrificed. While the advance in the science of flying has been both rapid and startling, when the period involved 18 con- | sidered, a careful analysis shows that the progress came not by leaps and bounds, but rather through hundreds of experiments, sacrlflced' lives and determination seldom devoted to similar projects. Five years after Wright's initial flight he still held the. world’s record with seventy-seven miles, made in 2 hours 20 miinutes and 28 seconds at Anvours, France. Two years before that, A, Santos Dumont covered 720 feet in'the first flight ever made in Europe. In 1909 Henry Farman had gained the flying honors for France with a flight of 187 miles in 4 hours 6+minutes and 25 seconds.’ Just a decade after Wright had made his first “hop off” national and international flying races for famous trophies were the vogue in both Europe and -‘America. Then came the war, and the sporting side of aviation gave way to the more serious combat of the air, with hundreds of aviators killing and being killed in a realm foreign to mankind but a-few years before, ‘ ‘ - Before the transition, however, the feats of the Wrights, Farman, Santos Dumont and the other pioneers of the plane had ceased to be" impressive, Flying had passed to the competitive plane, with records for speed, endurance, altitude and passenger carrying being pushed upward annually. Seven years after Wright's 59-second flight, @. Fourney held the endurance record with eleven hours of continuous flying. At the close of 1914 this record had been almost doubled, for W. Landmann maintained a continuous flight of 21 hours 48 minutes and 45 seconds, in Germany, between June 26 and 27 of that year. The records also show that L. Noel of England flew for more than 19 minutes with nine passengers, and fifteen passengers had been carried to a height of nearly a thousand ; feet by the Russian aviator Sykorsky. Stinson added 2 hours and 28 seconds to the world’s best previous endurance record previously held by Broussoutrut and Bernard as the result of a flight made in France a year ago last June. A span of four and a half hours was thus added by Stinson to the record made by Landmann some seven years ago. ; : Flylng at a speed of ninety-five miles an hour, they had battled with a | snowstorm while skimming over the earth at a height of less than 100 feet, with cold below zero, with a seventymile gale, and with hot stinging oil that splashed in their faces and almost blinded them. : : Fly 2,500 Miles. : While no official record was kept of the distance flown by the Americans, campetent observers estimated that their plane had covered approximately 2,500 miles. In distance covered Stinson and Bertaud undoubtedly sur‘passed all former records, and more than equaledthe transatlantic flight of 1,060 miles made by late Capt. Sir John Alcock and Lieut. Arthur W, Brown from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to Clifden, Ireland, ’ ; ~ The endurance flight came as a fitting climax to the achievement of AmerlJ:an aviation in 1921, when four world’s records were made by Yankee aviators. The other three were: f‘ An altitude and efficiency record for fiying boats made when a Leoning monoplane reached 19,500 feet with four passengers on August 16. e An altitude record made by Lieut. J. A. McCreedy of the army air service, who piloted an airplane to the height of 87,800 feet at Dayton, Ohlo, on September 28, breaking the previous mark of 83,114 feet set by Maj. Rudolph Schroeder, ' . = _A speed recordé;r&cloaed course in the Pulitzer trophy race was made by ‘Bert Acosta, who drove a Curtiss navy racer at an average speed of 1767 miles an hour for 150 miles'at Omaha, Noveniber 3. e s AU el

FEW MAPS ARE TRUTHFUL In Fact, Only Those on Globes Are . Able Accurately to Portray Ex- ‘ . tensive Areas,

Do you know what a map is? It sounds like a foolish question. You will probably contend that every schoolboy knows. If pressed for a definition you will probably say “a map is a drawing which exactly represents a portion of the earth’s surface, the distances between the points upongthe map being proportionate to distagce between the points upon the earth represented” or some similar explanation._ : But this 1s only partly true, writes C. H. Claudy in the Scientific Ameri-| can. There is only one kind of map| in existence which ‘will truthfully fit, such a definition, and that is a map made upon a globe. No flat map, large! or small, “exactly . represents” any, portion of the earth’s surface, and only on a globe are the distances between, all points truly proportional to dis-| tances between points on the earth represented. . : - , In other words all flat maps are distorted. All flat maps tell only a part| of the truth. All flat maps to some! extent misrepresent the facts. : This is not due to any lack of moral sense on the part of the map makers. They can’t help it. The nature of a globe is such that there is no process by which its surface can be flattened out without tearing, stretching, cutting or, compressing. And the earth is a globe (slightly flattened at the poles).

Invitation to Admiral Responsible for : Marvelously Quick Recovery ; of Famous Sallor.

A retired naval officer tells a story of a visit made by an American fleet to British waters. Admiral Erben was in command, with the late Capt. Alfred T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs, as his flag captaln, - ,One morning, it appears, Captain Mahan came to his admiral with an invitation he had received to dine with a duke. ; “I can’t accept this,” sald Captain Mahan, “as they forgot to invite you.” “I should say you couldn’t,” growled the admiral. “I'll answer for you."! Whereupon the admiral wrote: “Admiral Erben, United States navy, regrets that Captain Mahan, his flag captain, cannot accept the invitation of the duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is on the sick list.” - : An hour or so later a -messenger from the duke returned with invitations for the admiral and the captain. - This time the admiral wrote: “Admiral Erben accepts with pleasure the invitation for Captain Mahan and himself. He wishes also to advise the duke of Blank that he has taken Captain Mahan off the sick list.”=~Everybody’s Magazine,
