THE SOCIAL Kym..

newspaper that the age Of consent should be
raised. but also agrees that this IL not the only
CT the most effective manner Of dealing with

The suggestion as to young men In worthy OF
careful consideration. A law similar to that
which she advocates Is in operation in some OF
the States Of the Union. the lawmakers recog-
