ENVIED FREEDOM
OF THEIR BROTHERS
Runaway Girls Gut Off
Hair Like Boys.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O,-(speciaD-
Two girls, one II and the other y
who had left their homes a week ago
determined to be boys, were fonnd
yesterday in the basement of tba
fiathouse, 400 East 160th Street Nv
the Chlldren's Society When the Of
ficers finally found them, after
search of the entire basement. thew
had cut aft their braids of hair and
were crying over the sacrifice de-
manded by the new role they meant
to assume. The girls were Lottie
Carroll of 1,115 Washington Avenue
and Florence Bayha of 6 Gouvernenr
Place.
According to their story, Florence
had been away from home before
week ago Florence met her friend
Lottie, and confided to her that she
didn't like the lot of a girl.
You either sit around the house
waiting to get married." she said
doing housswork while you are
waiting, or you work in a store or
factory until you lose your complex
ion. Now boy can go anywhere or
any place, and he can work at most
anything outdoors"
For some time the two girls went
out early in the morning and slipped
back again in the early evening. They
did not at once put into execution.
their design Of wearing boys clothes
LOttie was the first to have her
hair cut off. Florence sheared her
and then in turn submitted to the
same operation at the hands of Lot
tie. The braids we're lying on the
floor and the two girls were looking
at them tearfully when the two
agents, Harrington and Dubert, of
the Children's Society, came into the
boiler room and found the two girls.
Sister Hannah had succeeded in trac-
ing them to the basement and her
mother had notified the society. The
two girls were taken to the society's
rooms.
"They wouldn't have caught us at
ALL" said Florence, 'if we had had
the nerve to cut off our hair be-
fore.

The Motto On the Coins.
philadelphia Press.)

No one who reads President Roose-
velt's earnest and elevated letter ex-
planning why he sanctioned the omis-
sion of the motto In God We Trust, ="
from the new gold coins will question
his sincerity or doubt his good faith.
He was manifestly actuated by the
highest impulse. He acted in the
spirit of reverence rather than of
iconoclasm. Instead of encouraging
any departure fro mthe Hottest ma
tional idealism he thought to rescue
the coinage from being the occasion
OF impius jestings His motives were
the best.
Nevertheless as the true friend of
the President and deeply anxious that
he shall not be misled, we cannot re-
sist the conviction that his conclusion
was mistake and that the dropping
of the motto was unfortunate. If the
motto had never been used, if it were
now an original question of placing
it on the coins, there might be good
reasons for declining. To declare our
national trust in God on the coins is
no more essential to our Christian
position than to declare it in the Con-
stitution. The ages will not misun-
derstand that this is a Christian ma
ton. The evidence is not dependant
on coins or Constitution Our history
is not to be the science of numismat-
les or the preservation of parchments
or the relics of museums. The glori-
GUS essential life Of this great people
will not be read in the twilight of
tradition or the explorations Of anti
quarians.

be condemned by the local board of
health. which would receive the backing
Of the State Board Of Health.
he city aud the health authorities arc
now confronted with a problem whicl,
can not be easily and readily solved
IT IS A serious proposition.
Owing to the continued drouth Of
more than three months. the water sup
ply from CiSternS. not already dry. is
limited The greatest majority of the
people have been consumers Of water
supplied by the Watcrworks Company
If the water is condemned and the peo-
pie be advised to not drink it. where will
these people obtain their supply of
drinkablc water?
Only few years since. the water sup
piled by the Wa,erworks Company was
pronounced by experts To be better than
Cistern water. and on this recommended
ton thousands of citizens abandoned
their cistcrns. which have been de
Stroyed
Now comes the experts who declare
that Red river water is the water for
the people. and some other experts in
slst that rain water is desirable over all
other waters. and there are the other
experts who swear by the artesian well
system, while others are prepared to
pronounce against the artcslan. the rain
and all kinds of water III general.
Is it proposed that the people shall
take to the kind which fires the mind and
degenerates the spirit?
