YOUNG GIRLS LURED
TO IMMORAL PLACES
Mrs. Atwood Of State Free En-.
ployment Bureau Has Atten-.
tion Called to Matter.
Will Read a Paper Before Wom-
ems Council, and Take Up
Private Office Evils.

Mrs. Agnes l. Atwood of the state
free employment bureau will at a
meeting soon to be held by the Wo-
mems council, read paper on the
work of the local free employment
office together with statement of
facts as to how girls of but little city
experience are sent by others to
places Of not the best moral atmos-
phere.
Mrs. Atwood has been much inter-
ested In the problem for some time,
as it has come to her notice on sew
eral occasions that young and green
country girls are some times sent to
places OF in-repute on the pretext
that there they will find a. decent
chance to earn an honest living.
Mrs. Atwood has been collecting
evidence for some time and recentlv
placed in the hands of Chief Troyer
a case, which, if enough evidence car
be secured, will result in the convic-
ton of local person.
Some of the employment offices
send girls to wrongful places, it is
said,. Mrs. Atwood says that the
proprietors may not be to blame, as
1t 1s an easy matter to do it with
out knowing the nature of the place.
She states that the free employme ent
bureau has to be constantly on the
watch, as most of the people order
girls over the telephone and there
is no way of knowing the character
of the place to which the girl is go
ing unless the proprietor happens to
be personally known. " .-.f q.
Mrs. Atwood says that the matter
should be carefully investigated. Hav-
ing had number of such cases come
to her notice she has become very
much interested in the matter. :.
Because there are things going on
each day which look suspicious, Mrs.
Atwood says that people generally
should use the state employment
bureau more freely. : : - .st.55s
Each place to which a girl is sent
is carefully investigated before the
girl Is allowed to take the position. Il
Steps are being taken to 5investigate
the whole matter thoroughly. II
enough evidence against unscrupu lous
persons can be secured, arrests, con-
victions and punishments will surely
follow. ss 5s$ II ss

Reunitinq Estrsnaed Couples,

married man out west was taken before the court on charge of aioan- donment. They had been married only three months and the court did not think it was long enough time to get sufficiently acquainted with each otli- CT to know whether or not they could live quietly and happily together
 So the court entered a. non suit in the case and ordered that the husband and wife shall live apart for one year, in which time they will be able to de- termine which is the better course, a permanent separation or happy married life. To aid In the solution of this problem, the court has ordered that the husband pay to the wife SIS q month and stay away from her.
 The courts these days are adopting various devices in applications for di- vorce, to keep the parties together in some way so that the differences be- tween them, which are often tempo rary and volatile, may have a chance to disappear. This idea is justified by the fact that couples who have been dfcorced have como together and re- divorced have come together and re- ported in the newspapers.-Ohio State Journal

"PAID IN FULL.v

For next week, the seventh of their engagement in this city, the Poli Players will present Eugene Walters great American play of today, Paid in Full" No play in years has created a sensation to equal that of this play upon its first presentation in New York Over night it made not only company famous. It Is still one of the strongest delineations of modern American life in existence and will be an admirable bill for the local play CTS. It is gripping from beginning to end. and presents clearly and for cibly the distinction between a strong, good woman and a weak man.
 During the past week portion of the seats in the orchestra were re- served for the first time and the idea proved SO popular that 1t will be con- tinued for the future. Seats may be secured ono week in advance for any matinea- On Wednesday afternoon souvenirs of Lawrence Dunbar will be presented to the ladies attending the matinee. The regular special nights w1u continue through the week as uUual. Wednesday night is Baltic night, and . late car service is arr ranged on the Westerly line. Thurs day night is for Jewett City. Plain neid and Central Village. Friday is Halle club night and judging from the success that greeted the initial eff forts of the club last night, Friday will regularly be one of the big nights of tic week. Seats are now selling at the club for next Friday and in the hands of the members as well. Tonight and on each Saturday night the late service is continued on the Westerly line in addit1on to the Wednesday night service.

 Value of the Investment--The say ing to the citizens of Norwich on the gas and electricity used, of $5e,000, is an annual dividend of 5 per cent on $1,0O0,000, and the direct profits shown in the reserve and depreciation funds are a good return on the city's investment of $302, ,000.
 The fact is, that Observer" does not wish to believe the gas and elec- trical department is making money, and the question is, Why doesn't he!
 Does he want to see the city lose money or does he and his associates wish to buy the property for song and then charge our citizens the New London, Christmas-present rate of IA cents per XVIII, less 1 cent per K- VIII and the bulbs2
 Norwich should wake up to the fact that there is an influence here that is trying to discredit ard ruin the gas and electrical department, for It's own selfish ends.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mir. TPacy's HepIy to Observer.

NIT. Editor: Referring to the letter In your issue of January 18th, signed "Obse1ver,'' would suggest that any one with the wish only for facts and to satisfy sincere desire for informa- ton would sign his own name so we could know from his personality whether his interest was genuine or only assumed. but whether genuine or assumed the following will answer all of his questions:
 The Depreciation Tund.--The depre- cladon fund 10 taken out of the profits on the business transacted otherwise the city would have to borrow money to make the proposed improvements {, at the cantral station. The physical condition of the entire plant outside that station 10 better than it ever was aAd shows no depreciation whatever.
 In taking out some old machinery Wo are putting in enough new to care for the largely increased business of the department.
 All the interest payments made by the city treasurer are charged against the department and paid out of the money received from the department
 Charging for Bulbs.-Instead of commenting the department for re- ducfng the gas and electric rates, he refers to the fact that the department charges for electric bulbs and does not allow . 10 per cent. discount for prompt payment of bills.
 The matter of the bulbs js too triv- ial to figure ia the calculation, as they would not cost dve cents q month to replace worn-out ones in the average household.
 Let vs compare present prices and results with those of the old company rates and the present New London rates. based on consumption of S5 K. W. H. . moPth. which is probably more than the vest majority of fam iHoo use in NofWiehs 85 XVIII per month at old com-
