Mrs. Finley, chairman of the press com

At some of these meetings Mrs. Birney
presented her views on the subject, and the
enthusiasm with which they were received
convinced her that the necessity for the
careful and early tr aiming of children need
only be demonstrated to be quickly ac-
cepted and acted upon.

gave the subject her most earnest thought
and attention, but it was not until late last
fall that she decided to take the initiative
in solving the important problem of child
education Sne first confided her secret
to Miss Emma Morton, sister of Secretary
Morton Of the Department of Agriculture

an active promoter of the movement

He Is Accused of Running Away With
14-Year-Old Girl

The officers are looking for "Prof."
Richard Carlson, the aeronaut, who took
French leave several days ago. A com
plant was sworn out by Mrs. Minot of
1011a San Pedro street, who charges the
professor with having taken her daugh-
ter away for improper purposes. This is
the same girl whose disappearance was
reported last week, her name being CIV
en- at that time as Belle Maynard.
The girl left home on the 5th of July.
AT that time she told her parents that
she was going for street car ride to
Boyle Heights, but they have not seen
her since. 1t was suspected that she had
run away with EarlVon. He was seen
day or two later by the grief stricken
mother and taken to task, but would
neither deny nor affirm that he was re-
sponsible for her daughters disappear

As soon as he learned that she was again

When Mrs. Creede returned from her

Hattie Murphy with her. One day last
week Miss Murphy called at the Creede
home during Mr.. Creede's absence at
Elsinore. She chatted for some time with
Mr.. Phifer and said that she had come
to see the little girl. Her aunt, she said,
was out buying real estate, and she had
nothing to do but dispose of her time.

by Mr.. and Mrs Creede has started
