Arrest these dope peddlers and
execute them. That is the only
thing that will put a stop to it
as it did to kidnapping. What is
the use to deport such criminals?
Luciano has become a greater
menace after being sent back to
his native Italy than he was in
this country.
The breaking down of the
home has had much to do with
the low state of morality among
them the dope habit than to take •'the people of this country.
There are dope peddlers sneak- such
ren slyly giving them candy a

morphine, cocaine and other
forms of dope. They also give
them cigarettes that contain the
stuff. Their object is to fasten
the habit upon the young so
that they will become complete
slaves to these destroyers of
soul and body. The conditions
that now exhist among teen-age
addicts in the large cities are
appalling.
One city reports that five
teen-agers have recently died of
narcotics this year and estimate
that it has about 1,500 dopers
who are sixteen and seventeen
years old. It has been discover-
ed that high school boys are j
“pushers” among.their friends,)
that is they give them enough |
dope to get. them started and j
then sell it to them.

who peddle dope are not native!
Americans. Many of them have
been allowed to come in as immi-
grants in the last ten years. Nine-
ty per cent of all dope peddlers
in the United States are foreign
born.
On July 30 there was a pic-
ture in the newspapers of some
of these vermin being taken by j
an agent to a Federal arraign-1
ment. They belonged to an in-
ternational counterfeiting and
dope ring. Counterfeit currency
with a. face value of $100,000
was taken from them. Most of
these criminals comb from the
south of Europe.
A thirteemyear-old girl smok-
ed a m arijuana cigarette. In a
year she was a dope fiend. She
tried burglary to get money to
buy the drugs, for now she had
added the rest of the narcotic
list to her habits. She was sen-
tenced* to six months in jail. Af-
ter her release, she became a
prostitute to get money to sat-
isfy her craving. It is said that
some of the police in the large
cities are receiving graft from
these poor unfortunates.

Another chore that most
housewives dread is cleaning a
fat-bespattered oven. There is
no easy way to Jo this job. How-
ever, the most efficient way
seems to be as follows:
Rub down the walls and bot-
tom of the oven with household
ammonia. Close oven door tight-
ly and leave over night. The
next morning the softened grease
will come off easily when wash-
ed with warm soap suds.
If the oven to be cleaned is not
terribly dirty, a saucer of am-
monia set inside with the door
closed tightly will soften the
grease spatterings.
