HOME LIFE CAUSE
Of GIRLS RUIN,
SAYS MATRON
Mrs. BohnefeId, in Charge of
Women Prisoners, Says Low
Wages Have No Bearing.

Mrs. Mary Bohnefeld, who as police
matrOn has had occasion to learn the
life story of thousands of girls, to-day
declared that lack of proper home
training-not a low wage for working
girls-is responsible for fully 80 per
cent of the unfortunate tendencies of
young women.
Girls who receive proper home
training. who are taught the right, and
warned of the dangers that Turk along
the pathway of life, are not the girls
who go wrong-they have strength of
character that will withstand any temp
tations Of a low wage" said Mrs.
Bohnefeld.
Il do not mean by this, of course,
that working girls do not deserve a
better wage. l am looking at it as a
matter of character and temptation"
Mrs. Bohnefeld said that of the hun
dreds of girls brought under her care
in the police station, not one of them
had ever complained that a low wage
had driven her into sin and shame.
Lack of proper home training, how
practically all cases.
THE great majority of girls have
handled didn't want to work at any
kind of wage" she said.
"They were girls who had been
brought up in the streets. whose ambi-
ton was to possess a lot of finery, to
paint and powder and dress in such
manner as to make a spectacle of them
selves, who had no idea of domestic
ity, and who actually had a dislike for
their home life. They were girls whose
parents had humored their whims, and
who never drew the line for them be-
tween the safe and the unsafe.
"The right kind of girl-the girl
brought up under proper home infiu-
ences-although she may be at work
and not getting the wage she deserves,
will manage to make out some way
without yielding to temptation and de-
stroying her whole life.
Proper home training puts a value
on virtue and builds up a character
that win protect this virtue.
If parents would make the home
more attractive for the girls and give
them the right kind Of training, we
would have more useful women. and
would not be constantly confronted
with this serious vice problem.

BY GEORGIA BOARD

Letters Of warning were sent to-day
by the state railroad commission advis-
ing the Georgia Public Service Corpora
ton and the Macon Railway and Power
Company, which are engaged in = bitter
cut rate fight. that they will find il has
been much easier to slash their rates
than it will be to get them raised again
upon the cessation Of hostilities.
The letters were occasioned by numer-
Gus inquiries which have come TO the Of
fee of the commission from residents
and firms of Macon, who asked # they
were to enjoy in the future the delight
fully low rates they are paying now for
electric light and power.
The two companies were told by the
commission that they might cut as low
as they pleased, but that their low rate
would become the maximum on the rec
ords of the commission and could not
DO raised again except by order OF the
commission upon proper cause being
shown by the petitioning companies.

pellate court reversed him and the

"Of all the thousands of people in this

Where the Easter egg really came
from can be traced TO the old writer's,

In those times. eggs counted as flesh
and were denied to good Christians dur
