The women police officers must be

after getting reports on their work
from the various places where they
have been tried, has asked council for
the appointment OF 10 women to tue
force in that city. However, the line
of work TO which he expects to assign
them confirms what The Sun has al.
ways contended, that they would be
found successful only in special SER
vice. The idea of sending them out
as general peace officers Is absurd.

which the morals of girls are involved
and much OF that work they should
be able 10 do even better than men
Women are always superior when 10
comes TO handling children. This I'M
doubtedly has been demonstrated in
the cities where they have been tried
and the fact that there is an increas-
ing demand for such officers indicates
that they have come to stay, but IN
their own field-Pittsburgh Sun.

The world is not from Missouri

demands that the church give proc

The missionaries OF the church arc
daily visitors TO the very center OF

part of the seething slum
The church has not as many repre-
sentatives on hand to care for the
victims OF vice as II wishes it had
and largely so for two reasons-The
suing Indifference OF many good mean
ing people 20 the work OF actively co
operating with the church by the Civ
ing OF time. talents and money &c
this good work; because the church
has always worked on the theory that
an ounce OF prevention is worth a
pound OF cure.
The church has rescue homes and
is leading in this great work. II will
have more homes and do more lead
ing when the great mass Of good
meaning people Quit bowling 81 am
from Missouri and get in line to co
operate with the many agencies with
which the church is seeking TO handle
this great social evil.
May God bless Mr. Debs and every
