NOTED DRUG ENEMY STUDIES IN GAPITAL Miss Sara Graham-Mulhall Plans World Body to Lead Crusade. Fights Drug Evil BY GRETCHEN SMITH. In a book-lined apartment at the| Fairfax Hotel, one of the world's au- thorlties on the narcotic evil, has been living for the. last few months in studious retirement, her presence in the Capital, known to few. Miss Sara Graham-Mulhall, for two rears first deputy commissoner of the ew York State Department Narcotic | Drug Control, arrived in Washington a few months ago, to avail herself of the | opportunities offered in the Capital for the research work to be used in! the successful accomplishment of a | lifet. 1e ambition—the establishment of the 1 ‘undation for World Narcotic Re- search and Reclamation. For 27 years Miss Mulhall, an| Engl “woman by birthy educated in the conters of learning of the old | world, has concentrated her energies | and her resources upon the suppression [ and eventual eradication of narcotic traffic from the uhlrne- stained records of modern civilization. | Sees Wrecked Lives. | As deputy commissioner of New | York, Miss Mulhall came in intimate | daily’ contact with human beings | whose lives have been wrecked and | THE mcd:ul profession who, she :mml are nsible for the forming of drul u Anwn( hundreds of men and physicians, nurses, partly from ignorance, partly from indifference, partly from mistaken sympat and partly from money “Until the hyperdermic needle was known,” she added, “the drug evil was unknown as a world menace. It has now become the greatest menace in the world today.” Legislation governing the disposition of addicts is also flayed by the former narcotic commissioner. Urges Special Hospitals. “It is & terrible thing,” she sald, “to think that a drug addict traffiicking in drugs, is sentenced to the penitentiary instead of being sent to a hospital, where he belongs. “The drug addict is a criminal be- cause of the habit. He is a sick and diseased man, and should be treated as such. The criminal addict is an incur- able criminal so lo: e is an un- cured addict. Happlil she continued, “the Government is recognizing this fact and has already started a building program for the erection two hospi- tals for criminal addicts.” ‘The Foundation for World Narcotic Research and Reclamation of which Miss Mulhall is founder and to which she has donated the prize money won by her recent publication, will be composed of two major departments, a depart- ment of research and a department of reclamation, which thas as its objective the establishment of a hospital for the ly large percentage of Midxctlon = Ahn (f cli lre‘} 'is caused by | worthy. tists and EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
