ATLANTA, Ga„ May 2S—The death
knell of the dope industry in this
country is expected to be sounded
here soon.
Led by Mrs. Wallace Reid, wife of
the late film star, whose life was snuf
fed out by narcotics, 2,000,000 Ameri
can club women will join hands with
the Anti-Narcotic League in launch
ing a national campaign against the
drug evil when the mid-biennial coun
cil of the General Federation of Wo
men's Clubs assembles at Atlanta,
tomorrow and continues in session
until the end of the month.
First there will be a stirring speech
on the opium traffic as it is known
to exist in this country and then there
is expected to be passed a resolution
pledging every member of the Gener
al Federation to fight to a finish the
war which Mrs. Reid backed by The
Committee of Published Facts, has
just begun.
The committee is composed of Dr.
R. B. von Kleinsmid, president of the
University of California; Judge Ben
jamin Bledsoe, United States Judge
of the Twelfth Federal District; Har
old Lloyd, film star commedian; L.
D. Oaks, Los Angeles Chief of Po
lice; J. P. Carter, former Collector of
U. S. Revenue Department; Brigadier
C. R. Boyd, of the Salvation Army;
and many other well-known leaders.
Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, President
of the General Federation of Womens
Clubs is already co-operating in the
newly launched crusade, and the State
presidents of the 50 federations, in
cluding Alaskan and the District of
1 Columbia, are expected to carry the
nation-wide fight against dope into
each state simultaneously.

Every great crusade must have its j
Jeanne d’Arc.
So says the Anti-Narcotic League,
and it is offering the one person whom
it believes can qualify in the crusade
against drugs.
Mrs. Reid is Leader
“Until now,” writes Ruth Sterry,
secretary to Mrs. Reid, “the sure de
fense of Demon Dope against the hor
rified protests of organized society
been that it was nobody’s business.
Those who have suffered most and
were deepest in its toils had the best
reason for silence, and self-imposed
security.
‘‘It was a battle in the dark. It was
a battle in which the very essence of
success meant publicity, but in which
the first rays of publicity meant the
instant dispersal of the army. In other
words, id was a vicious circle. Ii was
a lost battle because there was no one
openly to lead the fight. It had been
academic and academic crusades do
not end in victory.
“Into the rather bleak situation
comes Mrs. Wallace Reid.
Bares Private Sorrow
“Of ail known drug victims her
young husband had been the most con
spicuous. Never in the hiscory of
the dope evil has a soul been laid
bare—so pitilessly bare—as was her
personal sorrow.
“With a self sacrifice that was in-!
spiring, she gave her story to the j
world.
“Wallace Reid is now dead—a sol-;
dier fallen in the light. Unless his sac
rifice is to be a futile incident, some
one must carry on its pitiful moral to
warn those under the first temptation
of dope.
‘‘Mrs. Wallace Reid has taken the
torch.
"Her first appeal is made to oigan
ized American women:
“ ‘What is your State Federation 01
Women’s Clubs doing toward aiding
in the national campaign against nar
cotics?” she has asked in a letter
mailed to thousands of leading women
throughout the country. And every
club women in American is expected
to respond by enlistment in the Anti
Narcotic league, and the endorsement
of the efforts of the league.
Financing Herself
“he campaign against the dope in
dustry is to be financed by Mrs. Reid
: herself, who does not ask for money
' aid. She expects to raise the neces
' sary funds from proceeds of a film
which she is now making and which
i will lay bare the seriousness o; the
drug menace.
‘‘This film which is expected to be
S released in the late Summer has al
ready received the endorsement 01
Secretary of Labor Davis, Secretary
of the Navy Denby, Surgeon General
Ireland and many United States Sen
ators and Congressmen.”

Commission at Mile 6 1-2 spent Sun
