P A. * EW YORK.—The good men do isn’t necessarily interred with their bones if they have co-operating wives. The late Hamilton Wright’s world war on narcotics has been shoved on down through 19 years of tireless fighting by his widow. N At Richmond, Va., recently, Mrs. W right pleaded to the N ational Con gress of P aren ts and Teachers for united and effective action against the m ariju an a weed, m urderous M exican narcotic smoked by school children. She calls it the “most pernicious of drugs.” In New M exico, tw elve years ago, the state narcotics comm ission found growers and cigarette manu facturers pressing a campaign am ong children, and they found the children sm oking m arijuana. They passed a law. The use of the weed crept on to New York, Rhode Island, M assachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tex as and several southern states. At the Richmond congress, Mrs. W right represented the federal bu reau of narcotics. In 1921, she be gan h er service as one of three in ternational m em bers of the opium advisory com m ittee of the League of Nations, and has since waged her fight ag ain st the drug traffic in ev ery country w here it originates. She was E lizabeth Washburn, the daughter of the late Senator Wil liam Drew W ashburn, who had been m inister to F rance. Hamilton W right traveled, agitat ed, organized, wrote and lectured for y ears against narcotics. When, in 1918, he went to P aris as a m em ber of the peace conference, he was killed in a street accident. Mrs. Wright, highly placed socially in Washington, left her pleasant home and her four children and picked up her husband's gage w here it had fallen. In China. Turkey and Persia, she fought against the world tide of poi son. She traced the green capsule of the poppy, from the fields of Yun nan and Shensi provinces to the slum s and stew s of world capitals. She rounded up the story of the for eign w ars waged against China to m ake her adm it Indian opium. With Ellen La Motte, who wrote “ The Backw ash of War,” she pieced to gether a narrative as unlovely as any chaplet of horror which ever rested on the brow of the nations. There are so m any things to be against these days, it is bard to pick your opponent. Why not just take m ariju an a weed? This w riter speaks with feeling on this subject, having observed one citizen chew ing another’s ear off in a m ountain ham let in southern Mexico, quite a few years before the weed becam e an extra-curricular interest in A m erican high schools. I had joined in singing the quaint “ La C ucaracha” song about the cockroach that got so full of m a ri juana weed that he couldn’t walk home. There was nothing in the song about the drug’s peculiar in citem ent to m ayhem . The song will becom e distasteful to anyone who has seen m arijuana at work—also m y experience near M azatlan, w here a peon was shooting up the town and lunging at passersby with a m achete. It was about eleven years ago that the Brooklyn police arrested Andrew Huerta, a M exican sailor, who was selling m arijuana ciga rettes. In a backyard in Queens, he showed them a knee-high crop of m arijuana. This led to the arrest of racketeers, growing the weed and selling cigarettes to soldiers. E very year or so there is an a r rest. The cigarettes are m ade from the dried leaves and the flow ers of the weed, which is known as “ wild tobacco” and looks like a to m ato vine. It is a tough growth and so is the habit. If somebody bites you on the subway, you will know w hat is the m atter. All states, as Mrs. W right reports, have laws against its growth or use. except South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee. But, so fa r as this w rit er can learn, there has been no unified or vigorous action, there is m eager inform ation and there is ac cum ulating evidence that, with re peal, some of the m ore resourceful liquor rack eteers becam e agricul turists. • • • Lost Atlantis Again. F or m ore than thirty years, P ro fessor Leo Frobenius has been tak ing the shine off our m odern civili zation by dem onstrating that a lot of it is old stuff. The fam ous G er man archaeologist, lecturing in the United States, is one of the leading defenders of the lost continent of Atlantis theory. Now sixty-four years old, he delves tirelessly in In dia, Africa, Egypt, Tripoli and T ur key. The son of a G erm an arm y officer, also an author and scholar, he m ade his first expedition in 1904. Of all savants, he has turned up the most convincing evidence that many strata of g reat buried civili zations underly our house of life. © C onsolidated N ew s F e a tu re s . WNU S erv ice.
