rs. SHE IS PICKPOCKET.
Aged Woman, Hungry, Falls Into
Old Ways.

New York. April 26-Lieut Burns at
police headquarters looked over his desk
today at little gray-haired woman who
had just been brought in, accused by
a department store detective of picking
pockets.

and have labored to lessen the evil eff
fects of the social evil said Foster, land
despite my adherence l have been logic
ally forced to the conclusion that prosti-
tuition is with US and always will be with
us, despite laws and theories to the con-
trary.
Il am speaking of what know 1 am
speaking from my experience in dealing
with thousands of unfortunate girls and
in studying the social evil from every
viewpoint through all my life In many
countries.
There are none so blind as those who
will not see. Some there are who would
sweep away the teachings of history,
would close their eyes to what is on ev-
cry side of them, would deny the funda-
mentals of biology and endeavor by law
to suppress prostitution, seemingly care
less of the fact that they thereby invite
and bring to pass a condition far worse,
menacing the most carefully guarded
homes and running the youth Of the land.
You Cannot Reform Her.
THE social evil is a reality, and prosti-
tuition is a fact. To have the human race
| subdue its strongest instinct, you must
first reconstruct that race, and you can
not do that by laws. Even among the
Eskimas, the coolest and most dispas-
sionate race, the social evil exists and is
necessary.
I'm the first place, you cannot reform
the prostitutes, for they have become
morally drunk. Not 10 per cent of fallen
women can be reclaimed, no matter what
good positions and inducements to lead a
straight life are offered them.
THE lure of flnery, the call Of excite
ment and the loyalty to their men, whom
we in England call 'bullies,' take them
back to the old life. A virtuous life seems
to them one of privation, of sneers and
snubs and cruelties from womankind. of
temptation and bounding by mankind.
The old life means at least physical COM
forts, the luxuries of f1nery and the COM
partnership of their DULLES And back
they go.
"Prohibitory laws will affect but few
men. Close the houses of prostitution and
men will seek and find their pleasure else
where, stopping not at the ssnctity OF the
home nor the innocence Of youth.

Education Is Necessary.

THE greatest progress that can be made
in solving the problem is in education OF
the people TO face the situation honestly.
TO acknowledge its effects and to do the
best to combat them.
Let us see that in our factories and
mills we are not educating young girls
through misery to look upon prostitution
as relief Why cry out against prosti-
tutes if we do not lift our hand to save
them before the fatal step?
Young children should be taught the
meaning Of sex, and warned against the
dangers of disease and the sorrows of IL
licit indulgence. Perhaps not in your
mixed schools. but the parents or physi-
clans should inform all children of these
things.
why should a mother blush at the
though of telling her daughter something
necessary for her safety and well-being.
and why should a father balk at telling
his son that which will save him from
pitfalls?

WHY THE MISTLETOE KISS?
Present Custom Is an Outcome of an
Old Practice of the Morse
Druids.

The mistletoe was held in great rev.
erence by the Druids. It was believed
to be particularly and divinely heal
ing; in fact, it was given this attribute
for centuries. 1t had special signifi-
canoe as the cause Of the death of
Balder, the Morse Apollo, who Was
killed by an arrow made from its
branches.
Subsequently Balder was restored
to life, the mistletoe tree was placed
under the care of F>rigga, and from
that time until it touched the earth
was never again to be an instrument
of evil.
The present custom of kissing under
the mistletoe is the outcome of an old
practice of the Druids. Persons of op-
posite sexes passed under the suspend
ed vine and gave each other the kiss
of love and peace. in full assurance
that though it had caused Balders
death, it had lost all its power of doing
harm since his restoration
