people with view of purifying the So

under the auspices of the Christian En-
deavor Union Mrs. Ella N Dealing
matron of the Florence Crittenden
home, made the principal address Mrs.
William Hall, a prominent member of
the w. c T. u, also spoke. Both took
for their theme the appalling condi-
tons disclosed by the development in
the Bosschieter case" Mrs. Dealing
said she believed in a Christian rather
than reform movement. She believed
that all churches should unite to crush
out existing conditions, and that united
everything could be done but very lit
tie could be accomplished If each church
or each denomination worked alone.
Mrs Hall referred directly to the Boss
chieter murder, and said the vultures
Of India that preyed upon the weak
were not worse than the men who lured
innocent girls from the path of right
eOusness- The purest We're not too good
for these human birds of prey. In the
name of the mothers of Paterson she
asked all to unite for the protection Of
the children.

cause an equitable adjustment OF price
in all the leading staples
