HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS MAYNARD.
Fourteen Under Is Years Charged

atty among pupils Of high school age,
delivered in that city last Thursday
night was recalled today when four
teen girls ranging in age from IL to
Is years were taken into the Chelsea
Juvenile Court on charges Of being
wayward children Two men, aged
IS and 81 respectively, are under ar
rest charged with statutory crime,
and the police assert many other men
are involved.
The revelations are alleged to have
been made to a truant oficer by High
school girls who had repeatedly alb
scented themselves from the sessions
and frequented lodging-houses, where,
it is asserted, they met elderly men.
There are hundreds Of beautiful
young girls in Chicago, both white

the streets all hours OF the night and

THE coLoRED YOUNG MEMS
CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.

One Julius Rosenwald, proprietor
of a big commercial house in Chicago,
has offered $4,000 to every city in
the u. s, which will raise $4,000
for a Y. NJ. c. A., Building for Ne
groes, and we appreciate has DISPOSE
ton toward the Negro but why not
offer SIS, 900 to every city in the L. ).
which will open its Y. NJ. {. A door
to their brother in black? The propo-
sition IS a good one but would be
much better if it carried the Christlike
spirit with it. We have no faith in
any Y. NJ. c. A. which will not admit
a respectable, intelligent young man
of color, and we don't believe that
God, in his goodness. approves OF
such devilish prejudice, under the
guise of a Christian fraternity. We
know a young Colored man, who is
an exemplary Christian citizen of
certain community and is liked by all
who know him, and yet, the door OF
the Y. NJ. c. A., is closed against
him. 1t hasn't been very long since
we saw a Y. NJ. c. A. Manager who
was trying to increase his member
ship and while encouraging some
white boys to join, (who refused),
this same Negro boy volunteered and
planked down his ten dollars as an
entrance fee, but was rejected, solley
on account of his color. We pied for
the young man to be allowed to enter,
but our pleading was in vain, so we
have decided that instead of calling

April 3Oth has been set aside this
year as tuberculosis Day." and will
be observed in 100000 churches in
the country in a manner similar to
that Of Tuberculosis Sunday" in
1910, when over 10000 sermons were
preached on the prevention Of con-

today, the leaders Of the movement
state that they hope to enlist all Of
the 10000 church members in the
country.
In one respect tuberculosis Day
will differ from tuberculosis Sunday
of 1910. Instead Of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause a special Sunday service, the
National Association is going to ask
this year that meetings, at which the
subject OF tuberculosis and it's pre-
vention can be discussed, be held on
Sunday, April 30th. or on any other
day near the date, either in the
week preceding or the week follow

is exceedingly fine.

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

me, for 1 wish to publish same, and
will tell you why.
Eighteen years ago had two bright
children, a girl years Of age and a

days later my little boy took scarlet
fever and in five days was dead. My
daughter was also taken with the dis
ease and while she survived, it left
her AFFLICTED for life. She is now Y
years of age and defective; has never
been able to finish her education.
Now. my sisters children had a very
light attack of scarlet fever, so light
the doctors said it was only scarla-
tina. and was not at all dangerous.
and for that reason no quarantine
was established. Two years later an
other child was born to me. 1t lived
to be three years Of age. There was
more scarlatine, 50 called, IN the
neighborhood, and no quarantine.
From this source my little girl con-
tracted scarlet fever Of most malig-
uant type and died. So you see that
NV record with scarlet fever is two
dad children and one living that Is
physicaIly ruined for life"
DIR. Hurry, answering this woman's
letter was Obliged to tell her that the
Indiana laws do not prescribe a de-
finite period Of quarantine for conta-
1v4ous disease. but gives discredonal
power to health ohicers to estaonsh
quarantine in such manner ana LOT

The obvious lesson in this palmetto
story Is that quarantine in all cases

infection Is passed. Many times tne

longer and SO on People themselves
do not realize that the Health Depart

quarantine is only seeking to prevent
more cases. Surely one case In
family is enough; one case in a
neighborhood is enough more than
enough. It would perhaps be dihcult.
no doubt impracticable. to TX an ar
bitrary period for the duration OF
