iTells Amazing Story of the
Ease With Which He
Was Able to Buy Nerve
Destroying Substances.
, t Twenty-four hours out of a. police celt.
jva boy of 19, imle, lliln ntul hardly able to
a drnif one foot nfter the other, tolJ today
liqjv he took to tulngr cocaine nnd heroin
t .and .what the druRs hae done to him In
the two yenrs he has been their victim
" William Schaffer, MJ Olive street, a the
,boy. He was arrested as a disordcrlj
character Magistrate Tracv, at the
Eleventh and Winter streets station, puo
Tilin Ills freedom yesterda.r . Today he be
gins his light agalnet the drugs.
t Schaffer la u flaxen-halrcd youth who
ras fairly sturdy In the days before he
.began experimenting with heroin He
welghe'd about 110 pounds then. Todaj
.' his weight Is down to 120 and the clothes
t-
lie wears are sizes too large, though on e
tlie'j; fitted him. 1IH head hangi weaKh
nd he' has trouble walking more than a
. lew step?.
1 rfchanVr has Ijwi ti cited 'nice foi the
l. drug habit. Unco It was In thr House f
Correction, where he sreved three months
utter stealing from ,i department store to
Ket money for tho drugs. A month asu
ha was discharged as cured from the
Philadelphia Hospital.
"But you can't keep awav from It
around here." Schaffer explained, as he
told his stor. "I kept away from the
drugu two weeks and then two men held
some heroin before me. I've been pretty
bad stncu then."
His being "ptetty bad" jcsulted in an
attack of heart failure, which caused his
arrest. When Patrolman McKcnna. of
the Eleventh and Winter streets tatlou,
found that Schaffer was not drunk, the
boy was snt to the Hahnemann Hos
pital and then back to the police station
"1 had a close raii. ' said Schaffer. "1
ivas filled with heroin and cocalno all day
and a convulsion got ni. That's th way
they all die," he added, shaking his head.
Schaffer can clear up the mvstery that
surrounds the making of 17-year-old co
caine llends.
"Hard to get cocaine? Well, I should
ay not' ho e.Ntlaimed. "I never had
any trouble buying all I wanted when I
ha'd the money. Did they mind selling to
" a boy? The did not. I could show you
a good man drtirf stores where ou cm
, .. buy it now. ISut most of It comes fro.n
the cocaine peddlers.
"I staited taking drugs just about two
yars ago. 1 used to sta around a pool
. loom at Eighth and Vine streets Tho
fellows In there asked me If t didn't want
to try some heroin. So I did. 1 tool; it
rvery day for a month and then I thought
I il stop. But 1 couldn't."
The onl limes slnco then that the
Schaffer boy has lived without dtugs have
been the periods Just following his re
lease fiom ho-pltals.
' "l worked tor -.onie chemists at Uidith
-vjind'-'-ttHowhiH-sireets when I first-be-SHtt---cr
using the stuff." Schaffer went on. "But
Ft . (Vouldn't'-nold on long after tue habit
, KOt me. T started taking one tablet of
i one-slth of a grain 3 da. Saturday I
i took So tablets.
, "Of coin so, 1 didn't alwavs have money
to bu heroin. I used to steal things from
department stores when r needed money.
Once ou get the habit you can't go more
than three or foil) hours without heroin.
"I used to take little things fiom tho
rountets and I neer got caught. But
last march I pleked up some Jew.diy and
they caught mo out on the sidewalk."
Schaffer was sentenced to three months
In th) House of forroction for that. He
was released on June 5 and then got work
as a meehanle
"I was getting along all right." aitl
Schaffer. "I dldn t go with tne old crowd
and I thought I had won.
"Hut one night down at Eighth nnd
,-Xine htreets 1 met a fellow named Hart
man. He held some heroin under my
nose and then 1 Just had to buy It. They
seil two tablets for a nickel. Since then
I have been taking 23 or SO tablets a
-day."
charter t.ays he has taken heroin for
the last. "I'm scared," he declared. "I
Know what happens and the all die when
they get like I am I'm going to stop.'
Schaffer thinks getting out of the city
to a farm Is the best wa to keep from
iiolng more drugs.
"But what chance have I got"" he
nsked. "I don't know where I can go.
Sure, I know lots of other oung fellows
'uho are taking diugs. How old are the '
WOh. 16 nnd 1? and some vounrer. Any
one can buy the stuff if they know wh're
to go."

a result or tno European war.
Oscar Straus Is the Initiator of the

chairman of tho National Committee. The
latter also will be here tonight to address
the mass meeting In Musical Fund Hall,

toward tho war will be discussed.
"I do not care to discuss the question
ns to who la right and who Is wrong In
this war," said Dr. Levin. "Nor do t
hold that public opinion la always right.
That Is a separate question. What I do
wish to point out, however. Is how far
the nations are forced, when they find
themselves In a dangaious position, to
take Into consideration the power of tho
world'i opinion. You may go contrary
to It In times of peace, but when a catas
trophe comes, ono becomes more pliant,
because the entire world sits In Judg
ment, and history may come to collect
old debts.
"As an example we see that even tho
Russian Government has suddenly be
come sensitive and alive to tho fact that
Jewish soldiers are sacrificing their lives
In this war. This wnr was necessary in
order to open its eyes to see that seven
million Jews in Its domains arc also
human beings. At present, however, the
Ruislan Government Is making only
promises, and these under a 'blind ad
dress.' She has them announced through
anonymous sources in Copenhagen. But
this Is characteristic of war times. Even
the great bear has bestirred itself and
begun to heed public opinion."

throughout tlie world ta the -wftr, he
said:
"But as the Jew? afft scAttered through'
out tho world, and they rout fight
brother against brother, II la quite hard
to apportion their sympathies. It Is al
most commendable that Germany Is not
angered with the Russian Jewish sol
diers, and Russia with Its German and
Austrian Jewish soldiers. England, how
ever, desires greatly that all Jews who
are not taking a definite side In the wnr
should sympathize with England and
with England's cause.
"It appears strange that at this time
there Is no united Jewish public opinion
on the present war. Tho Jewish opinion
Is greatly scattered becauso tho Jewish
nation Is scattered."
Dr. Ixivln also spoke of tho terrlblo
conditions In Palestine as a result of the
war. Palestine Is dependent for Its ex
istence upon tho rest of the woild. And
when the rest of tho world Is nt wnr
there Is nothing left for the Jews In
Palestine except starvation.
AMERICAN NOTE IN STYLES
Emphasis Placed on Native Designs
at Strawbrldge & Clothier'a
The war's embargo on Imported fash
ions has given American modistes oppor
tunity to show capacity for originating
their own styles. Demonstration of this
capacity was the main featuro In the fatl
opening of costumes and gowns Bhown at
Strawbrldge &. Clothier's this week.
While many of tho designs reveal the
Paris Influence, the grea'tor number are
by American women who aro expected
to rank among fashion authorities of
tho futuic.
Among the stunning street costumes
shown Is ono fashioned of taupe broad
cloth combined with mole cloth nnd
sltunlc fut. The ''American" touch Is
noticed In the tunic, falling over n mole
foundation. At the front and back this
Is of knee length. The front and back
are caught by a cord. The whole In
edged with skunk fur. The broadcloth
jacket has a bolero of mole cloth und Is
mudo In shawl effect at the back. The
jacket opens over an embroidered vest
of taupe. The bell-shaped sleeves arc of
broadcloth, decorated with mole ruffs.
Another creation for nfternoon or eve
ning wear is of midnight blue velvet.
The novel feature hero Is tho gathered
skirt, held In place In high waistline
effect by a jet cord. Tho waist of this
costume Is fashioned of rose embossed
velvet.' and tho kimono sleeves are
draped In to foim a part of the skirt.
The neck Is finished with feather trim
ming In blue and pink. Over this Is worn
a rich cloak of midnight blue velvet,
made w Ith a deep yoke nlid hood effect at
tho back. The lower section of the coat
Is made with a pronounced flare.
Greek lines are brought out in an eve
ning gown of Jet over u foundation of
black tulle. The skirl extends above the
waistline and the bodice Is fashioned of
flesh colored tullo with shoulder straps
of crystal beads. A single pink rose with
long stems Is arranged at the side.
Imported cloth of crystal formed the
basis of a gown thnt also showed the
classic In Its draper.
The exhibit reveals the latest predilec
tions In color, blue, white, black, hunter's
green and brown with all light evening
shades prevailing.
