MEN AND RELIGION
LEADER SEES HOPE
OF A REAL SOLUTION
By MARION JACKSON.

The writer of the article in Pear
sons is not familiar with the situation
in Atlanta.
IN the forty four publicly recognized
houses were 265 inmates. Only two of
these. came from domestic service
OF the 175 girls and women helped
by the executive committee since the
houses were closed, only six have been
placed in positions even analogous to
domestic service. one of these failed
on account of her health; two were
unsuited to the work; these three re-
turned to us for help
The other three are making good.
They are living in the homes Of re-
fined Christian people more in the po-
si,ion; Of companions than as servants.
They are in cities many miles from
Atlanta.
The previous occupations Of the in
mates of the houses were as follows:

Here is Pcarson's attack

The city Of Atlanta and the Men ana
Religion, Forward Movement are now
giving a ,demor stration Of how not to
fight this evil The police department
Of the city Of Atlanta has made the
red hight district dark. Every known
house in the city has been closed And
the Men and Religion Forward Move
ment is trying to complete the reforma
ton of the scarlet women by obtaining
for each Of them employment at do
nestle service.
If women entered these places be
cause they could not find homework.
this would appear to be both a logical
and an excellent remedy Yet. the fact
is that the great bulk Of the women en-
tered because they had first tried
houseWork and found it so disa gree =,
able that they preferred the tenderloin
to working in anybody's kitchen. What
the Men and Religion Forward gentle
men are really doing is therefore this:
They are going to. women and asking
them to return to the calling that drove
them into district houses.
The Relationship.
The relationship that exists between
domestic service and this evil is so we'll
known that it should be known in At
lanta. 1t was set forth so years ago by
DR.. William w. Sanger, resident ply
stefan at the Blackwell's Island prison
in New York. DR.. Sanger knew the
life of these women. His book shows
it. He asked 1000 what they did before
they entered these houses. Here are

WIRELESS PHONE A SUCCESS.
Harvard Professor Sends Sound Of
Voice Thirty five Miles.

Assistant Professor G. W. Pierce of
the department Of physics at Harvard
has devised new wireless telephone
instrument which may eventually revo-
lutionize the methods Of long distance

has already received the hearty in
dorsement Of John Hays Hammond, Jr.
Professor Pierce was the guest of Mr..
Hammond at his Gloucester laboratory
at Fresh Water Cove recently, where
a series Of experiments was conducted
with the new apparatus.
The wireless power was concentrated
about fifty feet above sea level. By
means Of the new instrument Professor
Pierce got into communication with
the Harvard Wireless club. thirty-fve
miles away. and talked with several of
the club members for space covering
fifteen minutes.

Sir George Birdwood, officer of the

academy and formerly professor Of
anatomy and physiology at Bombay,
has contributed at the age Of eighty
his views on how to reach a ripe old
age. His maxims are:
Don't think about your health.
Enjoy yourself as much as possible
Ignore dietary tables.
Eat whenever you feel inclined.
Look on the bright side Of things.
Sir George is particularly scornful
about the diet on which another con-
tributor to the discussion thrives-
