FOR GOING WRONG

Chicago, ILL.,. March 1.-two let

investigating into low wages as a con-
tributing cause to immortality among
women, in which the writers, both
women of the underworld. declare
that it is the evil in men that brings
about the downfall of women. They
say that the remedy is not in an in
vestigation in an effort to raise the
wages of women and girls, but in re-
forming the men.
One of the letters, signed by K. r.
L., in part reads as follows:
Girls don't go wrong because they
are hungry or because they need
clothes They go wrong because they
are tempted by lies and overpowered
by the evil in men.
"They listen to the pretty things the
men tell them and they fall because
they thing they can trust themselves
and trust the tempters. 1t is not the
employer. l was a good girl when /

A second letter calls the men hypo-
critics and places blame for girls going
