NEW DRUG VICE
IS INVADING U.S.
•Hashish,’ Obtained From Gre
cian Hemp Plant, Intoxicates
and Maddens the User.
LONDON, Oct. 3. —Revelations deal
ing with the smoking of "hashish,” a
vice which is said to lead to lunacy,
have been made by A. Lucas, director
of laboratories in the survey depart
ment at Cairo, who read a paper on the
subject before the Cairo Scientific so
ciety. entitled “Confessions of a Hash
ish Smoker."
He declared that the use of the drug
rapidly is increasing in Europe and
America.
“Hashish originally comes from.
Greece,” said Mr. Lucas, “where hemp
is especially grown for that purpose.
Its Intoxicating and narcotic properties
are no modern discovery, however, for
there are references to it in Herodotus,
who records that the Scythians burned
the seeds of hemp during the purifica
tion ceremonies that took place after
death, and that they became intoxi
cated by the fumes.
Drug Taken in Many Ways.
“In the 'Confessions of a Hashish
Smoker’ the statement is made that the
drug is often taken in cigarettes. But
it can be indulged in in other ways.
The hashish is either powdered or in
fused in cold water, resulting in a tur
bid liquid, or it Is ground up in water
or milk, to which is added pepper, sug
ar or spice. It is also boiled in a pow
dered form and taken hot. In Egypt
and Turkey it is taken in sweetmeats
and confections, prepared with sugar,
honey and molasses.
“Very often it is smoked in pipes, and
excessive smokers to whom the simple
drug no longer appeals add such ingre
dients as opium, arsenic, nux-vontica
or datura seeds.
“It is Interesting to note, in passing. »
that our word ‘assassin’ comes
the Arabic ‘hashish.’ the plural i o j'
which is ’hashasheen.’
“The latter name was given to a fa
natical Moslem tribe of Carpathians
who flourished In the eleventh century
under a chief called 'The Old Man of
the Mountain,' whose stronghold was
Mount Lebanon. This band was the
terror of the world for nearly 200 years,
and devoted Itself to murdering secret
ly or by surprise all the enemies of the
Moslem faith.
"Before perpetrating any of their
bloody deeds they fortified themselves
by drinking or eating a preparation
of ‘hashish.’ It is easy to see how ‘as
sassin’ replaced the original word
‘hashasheen,’ and how ‘assassin’ came
to be applied to any one who killed by
secret assault.
Gives Joy and Appetite.
“The first effect of hashish i» to pro.
duce cheerfulness and an abundant ap
petite. A small dose produces gayety,
a larger one hallucinations, delirium
and sometimes catalepsy. An average
dose induces a dreamy state, when the
victim becomes the sport of rapidly
shifting ideas. One can never mistake
the habitual ‘hashasheen.’
"In his normal state he can rarely
collect his thoughts: his memory goes,
and he i« inclined to curious errors of
perception. Tn Egypt, of course, the
hashish habit is most prevalent, the
Berberine servants being the greatest
offenders, and the residents learn from
bitter experience to recognize instantly
the hard, hollow cough, and the rau
cous, byenallke laugh of the habitual
hashish cater.
“Hashish fetches anywhere from *7
to sl2 a pound, for which the smug
g'cfs pay not more than about $2. The
profit, therefore, is big enough to make
smuggling worth their while. Two
pounds of hashish meet the require
ments of a dozen "hashish” fiends for
a week, and as the drug is easily con
cealed. it Is only too evident that it is
difficult to prevent its entrance into the
country or stop the consumption."
PATIENT ELUDES NURSE
AND LEAPS TO DEATH
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3. —While his nurse's
back was turned, Thomas Patterson. 44
years old. left his cot at the St. Ixiuis
Mutlanphy hospital, leaped from a win
dow on the second floor and was in
jured fatally. He died two hours later,
after having been carried back into the
hospital and treated by the house sur
geon.
hundreds of thousands of people all over
the country.
Even Carnegie Disagrees.
He evidently objects to the fact that
over twenty million dollars have been
distributed to employees by the Steel
Corporation during the last few years
under Its profit sharing plans.
He evidently believes that it would
have been better had this sum gone to
swell Mr. Carnegie’s individual fortune.
It Is interesting to know that in this
latter respect Mr. Carnegie himself dis
agrees with Governor Wilson; for Mr.
Carnegie has repeatedly expressed to
me his great admiration of the rela
tionship that the Steel Corporation has
succeeded in establishing with its em
ployees. He has frequently compli.
mented the corporation upon its profit
sharing plans, which, as he himself
puts ft. have made partners out of em
ployees.
Mr. Carnegie is so wise and far-sight
ed that he sees that we are entering
a period of co-operative effort, and he
cordially welcomes it as a method of
adjusting some of the serious problems
existing between capital and labor.
Tiie business questions of the hour
are of grave moment to millions of peo
ple in this country. They can not be
waved aside witli the exclamation of
“Rats!” or “Tell It to the marines!’*
