remedies. With the ages, with a more
and more increasing perception or me
truth tina there are reciprocal reia-
tions between all of with
more of the Gospel of Jesus christ
as a part Of every day affairs, this
generation is throwing out an lncreas-
ing number of scouts and pickets to
get bearings preparatory TO an as
sault in force upon the forces of evil
which can be. which mus, be. put to
rout.
A great law OF nature is self pro-
lection. and it is ever to the front.
Akin to this is that law which impels
men and women to go TO the defense
of the weak, to the defense Of all in
danger. There is an instinct in the
human breast to rescue from danger.
1T is an instinct which permeates all
classes. The sight of a child in dan
ger from a runaway horse, a man or
woman Threatened by the wheels of a
train or Of an automobile brings at
nee the desire to save, and world

lives being offered 10 save the lives Of
others.
More than this. The wild beast
which threatens life is hunted down.
The hand Of all men is turned against
| the Kissing snake which, with it's
venom. is a menace. TO the rescue"
is a cry as old as the centuries, and
the present day warfare upOn the
evils which beset womanhoOd is but
another exefnplification Of that which
is a dominant one and worldwide.
1t Is a fight upon those things which
has made a truth of the declaration
that mans inhumanity to man makes
| countless thousands mourn"
The Illinois legislative Investigating
committee into the wage scale of
women in connection with vice has
drawn sharp attention to the need Of
measures to correct an increasing evil.
And q fight on the same social evil
has been put on foot by the Young
WOman's Christian Association OF this
country which,, at its meeting in Rich
mOnd this week where problems at
fecting the welfare of young girls
were discussed, agreed fully upon
the need for protective measures for
the 100000 unattached young women
who it is estimated will flock to San
Francisco during the Panama-Pacifc
Exposition.

spoke Of conditions and sim" being
quoted as saying: Two things with

women live safe; We must educat,
their sense Of values and help them t.

Miss Crafty has struck the keynote
The conditions under which womcl
live must be made safe, they must b
educated to a true sense of values a
they relate to social life. But ther
IS something else. That is tina Their
must be a teaching of the same kin
for men. that they must ais hav
inculcated in them his sense of value.
And there must be corrective meas

what is worse than death wonne

offer the least resistance. 1t is 81
