ion of the special committee on jul

Saved from death almost miracu-
lousy, she believes, 10 years ago,
Mrs. Isabella H. Scott has conse-
Grated the life that was given back
to her to help those of her sisters
who have fallen prey to the wolves
of the half world, girls and women
who have been drawn from the
straight course into whirlpools of
vice in our great cities.
That she may live her own life
close to those whom she would
help, this gentle woman, who is a
widow, has given up wealth, home,
friends, social position, everything
that most women would envy.
Her father made a vast sum in
oil. He is the wealthiest man in
Upland, southern California. When
his daughter announced her decis-
ion after her recovery from a NAL
ady declared by specialists to be
fatal, to leave home and take up
this work, he did all in his power,
as did her mother and friends, to
dissuade her, but to no avail. Now
she conducts a home for girls in
Sacramento.
She and her assistants live on
the same food, eat at the same
table and wear just such clothes as
