Millicent Garrett Fawcett has is

Stead and to all friends of clean
womanhood to use their influence to
help pass the criminal law amendment
Dill now proposed.
IL is well known that this bill deals
with the White Slave Trade and pro-
Vldes additional moral protection for

bill waited on the home secretary a

proval OF the measure, but held out
no hope that the government would
take 1t up.

National Importance
She closes her appeal with these
words: 1T is a question of urgent
national importance. The bill, if
passed, would protect and shelter the
against moral injury, quite as
truly as the lifeboats sheltered them,
on April Is, against physical injury.
LII our countrymen can and do rise
to heroism in the face of physical
danger, surely they can rise to a
trifiing sacrifice of Parliamentary
time. 1t would be the finest of all

men who have sacrificed themselves

it during this session"

stood put a positive premium upon
the corruption of very young chill
dren by refusing to let them give evil
dence against men unless they could
satisfy the judge and jury that they
understood the nature of an oath.
AS soon as the child was over thir-
teen years of age she could be in

any possible hope of redress. because

house she was held to have con-

she might at that time be, and prob

This change in the laws came about

The White Slave Traffic is a world

by false advertisements offering en-

1t is estimated that only five girls

LESSON Ix-PART 4.
THE PRESENT FASHIONS ARR
THEY BECOMING TO THE
AVERAGE WoMAN7
1t is often bemoaned by poets and
philosophers that the age of great
personal beauty is past: that there are
today no unique examples of loveliness
to which the world pays homage.
There Is no reason to doubt the ex-
fstence today Of beauty as compelling
as ever adorned the pages Of history,
and there is every reason to believe
that the average woman is far better
looking than has ever before been the
case.
General Improvement In Looks.
There are several reasons for this.
Women now take more intelligent care
Of their looks; their minds are better
cultivated SO that intelligence Of ex.
preston adds to mere physical
charms. Moreover, the modern fash.
ion of dressing with it's wide choice is
far more becoming to the average
woman than the more fiamboyant
modes of the past which were only
suited to very beautiful types.
In youth at least, every woman
today has her share Of attractiveness,
and the proportion of good looking
women of middle age is growing larger
every year.
Influence Of Dress.
While modern dress has not eoualed
the picturesque quality OF the Renais-
sance or the gorgeousness of the
courts Of the French Louis, 1t has ex-
pressed precisely the modern woman
and the condition under which she
lives. Cut and workmanship have i'm.
proved; costumes for practical oc-
casions have grown more comfortable,
more utilitarian, and, as knowledge
OF dress has become more widespread.
individuality In gowning has become
more pronounced. While women, as a
whole. have declared in favor of dress
Ing along certain prescribed lines
termed "the fashions" these lines have
been elastic and sufficiently varied to
suit different types. The result has
been pleasing and generally becoming.

OLD PRISON NOTES
By Frenchy

This is, we believe, our last contribution
to the Mirror.
l.. E. Thompson is on night duty in the
Solitary at present.

The tug of war between the farm ma

who took part in this event.
Fellows, if ever man was deserving of a
vote of thanks it is Assist Deputy Whelan
who entered into all the sports with a vim,
and spared himself no effort to make our
last holiday at this institution grand sue
cess, and to have everyone enjoy themselves.
That his efforts were appreciated, goes with
out saying.
In the course of our rambles about the
Rock Candy Mountains, and the Lemonade
Springs, the Fourth, number of the
factory boys called my attention to the fact
that have shamefully neglected our laundry
in my writings, and that they were deserv-
ing of praise for the nice clean work they
do. They certainly are. There is only a
small force in the laundry and store room,
but they just eat up the work, and do
mighty good work too.

usually come to the devout followers of
Uncle Isaac Walton.
During the day one of the party succeed
ed in landing four fine large pickerel; the
others had to content themselves with
bull-heads of an infinitely small variety. 1t
appears that the gentleman who hooked
the pickerel, in some manner got his line
entangled with that of Rev. Mccoy, which
led to discussion as to who really caught
the big fish. A vote was taken, and as
one of the party put it, lust to keep peace
in the family, we awarded the honor to the
preacher.

Usher Brennan was absent for several
days during the week and Guard Stanek
had charge of the visitors during his alb
sence.-
Superintendent Ross of the farm machin-
cry department showed party of little
folks the inside of the new institution one
day last week.
Sorry, Frenchy, that you was disappoint-
ed in not having the band on the Fourth,
but we hope that you enjoyed yourself,
nevertheless.
Eight men were transferred from the
old to the new prison last Thurday morn
ing, and had a chance to take in the movies
the first night.
Rev. Benson, chaplain of the old prison,
with lady friend, were visitors at the new
prison last Wednesday and made thor
ough inspection of our silent city.
Mr.. Robertson was visitor in the audit
orium last Wednesday with few personal
friends and listened to the orchestra for
a while when the boys were at rehearsal.

single one of US had big head last Sum

No, Mr.. Sand Rat, we don't forget our
old friends so easily as you think, we only
wish that you could be all down here and
enjoy the movies and baseball, but soon,
maybe, what?
We are always ready and willing to give
good advice or listen to some good advice,
but for the love of Mike, spare us with

The board of Pardons will meet in the

course that doesn't mean to say that they
will pardon all who seek clemency. There
must be some disappointments, you know.

the last day of his vacation at the new pris-

We have made note of this once before

the rule, and you will have only yourself to
blame if you are cut off.
