Evelyn Nesbitt.

II. She can tell some great motor
cycle stories. ....-.
After the whole thing is over and
the girl has been taken in charge
by the authorities then is when her
mother could still step forward and
reclaim her. The young girls career
is often very short and skyrockety, it
lasts generally about a year or less.3
Her waywardness often isn't dis.
covered at all during that time. But
when the finish arrives and her par
ents know all, too often they stand
away and refuse to aid unless they're
forced to.
The father shuts his doors against
his daughter.
My own case is a truthful example
of many other girls cases. When 1,

they're often very young ana employ
ed because of their personal appear
ance. Evelyn Quick is a case in
point.
They're entirely at the mercy of
some men with plants. They have
to obey orders or lose their jobs, and
when the supply Of actresses is
greater than the demand, there's
only one result when they lose their
jobs. So they're between the devil
and the deep sea.
Cheap moving picture shows are a
menace. Here's something that saw
myself:
was walking past a five-cent
show recently and saw a little girl
stop to look at the posters. She
couldn't have been more than 13 or
IA. She had bundle. 1t looked like
a hat in abag.
Evidently the manager of the
house knew her. 1t was getting late
pretty near time for the show to
end for the night Far too late for a
little girl like that to be out running
errands. He talked to her for min
ute or two in low tones and then took
the. bundle out of her hands.
''Youp run along home and tell
your people that the bonnet isn't fin
ished yet. Then come back and I'll
let you turn the wheel and make the
pictures"
Anybody could see through his de-
sign. The show would be about over
when the child got back. A man and
his wife had been standing there
looking at the posters and they heard
what did. The man stepped forward
and said to the child: 'You go on
home and don't come back. I'll settle
with this fellow"
The manager turned white, spIut-
tered something, then turned and
beat it inside.
Suppose that man and his wife

hadn't been there?
Motorcycles are another bad thing;
A girl is out of place on motorcycle.
There's hardly a girl comes into the
detention home without telling some
tale about a joyous ride on the back
seat of a motorcycle. The youngest
girl in the juvenile hall right now is

STATE MERCHANTS
AN HONEST LOT
Report OF State Inspector Of
Weights Has Surprises.

Helena, Dec. 31.-That the Mon
tana merchant is honest in hi!
weights, and that, wherever there
is question of giving or taking,
the dealer gives to the customer ra
ther than takes from him, is the ex
perience of Joseph Corby of Butte
state Inspector of weights and mea
sures. Mr.. Corby in the operation
Of his Office has visited the majority
of merchants of the state in his offic-
ial capacity, has tested their weights
and measures and this is the opinion
he expressed today:
''The public is wrong when it at
tacks the Montana merchant ON the
honesty of his SCALES, said Mr.. Cor.
by. There are more scales in this
state that cost from $10O to $3.50
each than there are in the state of
Yellowstone monitor. [volume] (Glendive, Mont.) 1905-1928, 1913-01-02

New York, and the merchants pride
themselves on giving honest weight
and measure. In all my experience
with merchants in Montana, | have
found hut one whose scales were in
correct, who continued to use them.
1t is needless to say that this man
paid heavy fine.
when it comes to package
goods" said Mr.. Corby, lit is a diff
ferent story. Ninety per cent of the
package goods sold in Montana are
to the loss Of the purchaser; and this
is because we have no le~t. .tion
covering the r>a%ls 1he bntte"

ca : aua other carton goods give ~
weight though they are sold TO The

Many Of those convicted were

Mcnamara paid for explosions.
Herbert S. Hockin, who resigned
as secretary of the union only a few
weeks ago, who was branded as the
"Iago of the conspiracy" in having
helped to instigate the plots and
employing Ortie E. McManlgal to
carry them out, while afterwards
"betraying his fellow conspirators"

convicted. He figured almost dai-
