between a mail van, market wagon
and an automobile driven by Belmont
Hamilton, the well known automobilist
and aviator, which precipitated from
the automobile a woman smoking q
cigarette and scantily clad.
A lamp cleaner. a pedestrian and q
milkman testified that they had rushed
to the scene. but quarreled over who
should render first aid. Counsel asked:
is 1t true the woman was dressed
only in silk stockings. shoes and a dust
cloak"
The witness didn't notice the cloak,
and counsel said he supposed there
was very little at all to notice.
The milkman said he saw the woman
thrown out, but that a road sweeper
was there first and blocked his view.
Mr.. Hamilton said he met the
woman coming from a dance. She
couldn't get a taxi. so he gave her

Why a Failure.

Editor Tidings: The school board
of Chicago has refused by vote of
1S to to continue the teaching of
sex hygiene in the public schools of
that city. Ella Flagg Young, known
the country over as cne of the lead
ing educators of the country, whose
reelection was forced on the board
by the people OF Chicago, was indif-
ferent in the matter. At least she
refused to make fight for it, The
action Of the board shows the COM
mencement Of reversal Of the opin-
ion of the past few years on these
lines. The Oregonian in long edi-
tOrial discussed the reasons for this
failure. But it does not touch upon
the true one. In the writer's opinion
this reason is the standpoint from
which the matter is approached It
is approached solely from the ma
terial side. The child is taught that
the physical and social effects of
these sins are to be avoided, but lit
tie, if anything, is said Of the moral
turptude involved; of the. violation
Of Gods commands.
The logical result of this teach
ing, taken together with the natural
big head" of Youngsters of that age
and their belief that they are smart
er than their parents, makes them
think that they are smart enough to
avoid the physical and social punish
ment for their sins, and so is an in
centive rather than a detriment.
Youth was ever foolhardy. No girl
ever failed to dance in light. high
heeled slippers or to wear insuffi-
cient clothes because she feared i'll
i'll health, until it came upon her, and
in like manner few fear the social
and physical punishments enough to
be deferred. What is needed is a
return to the modesty of our moth
ers' day. A raising the girls in the
homes instead of on the streets. No
amount of warning will be of value
if the moral chord is not touched.

Getting at Facts
In Mine Trouble
(United fress Day Service)

NSAA ~ SoS ICY Noot NlSS|
Denver, Feb 14.-One thousand dol
lars per man was paid to the fann-
lies of miners killed in the Prmero
mine disaster in 1910, according to
President Jesse Welborn of the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company, who
testified before the congressional COM
mittee investigating the Colorado coal
miners strike. Wellborn admitted
that many of these men earned 81, 800
yearly.
Chairman Foster asked the witness
if he believed the men, therefore, were
only worth 81 900 to their families.
Wellborn replied: "That's what we
settled for"
The witness testified that he felt
no responsibility for the strike and
attendant disorders. He said he pre-
ferred the strike to conferring with
the uniOniSts. He said: 81 will never
believe a closed shop in which we
can employ union men is preferable
to non-union shop"
A discussion of the high mortality
rate in the Colorado mines followed.
Congressman Austin said: ~ think all
agree that the mortality records in
American mines are high compared
with other countries, because Congress
neglected until four years ago to do
its duty in creating a bureau of
mines"
