YOUTH coNFESSES HE SLEW
FOR MONEY TO GIVE GIRL
Ruth Mccullough, 23-year-old
snake charmer and vaudeville act
ress, and Clarence Mccormick, 49,
year-old clerk, confessed today, ac-
cording to detectives, that they lured
I. w. Mollatt, wealthy HedTick, Ia,
farmer, into a deserted field near
Hedrick and killed him on the night
of Oct. 6.
They were arrested today in
rooming house at 1441 N. Madison
st., where they were living as man
and wife. Sheriff E. ]. Grimes of
KeOkuk county, who came to Chi
cago two days ago with a description
of the couple and trailed them to the
rooming house, will take them back
to Iowa to answer the murder
charge.
Mccormick, the son of an Iowa
farmer, was clerk in fiye-and-ten-
cent store when he saw the McCUl-
Tough girl and became infatuated
with her while she was with snake
show" at the Ottumwa county fair.
He induced MoIlatt to take him and
the girl for an auto ride and later
made an appointment for another
auto trip, according to the story he
is said to have told the detectives.
McCormick's story follows:
"On Oct. 6 l got a man by the name |
of Mollatt to take Mrs. Ruth McCul- |
Tough and myself out in his automo-
bile, telling him we were to meet one

Fearing that his sister. Miss Paul

send out a general alarm for the girl
Miss Sullivan, who made her home
with a married sister at 1918 Euclld
street northwest, had been despond-
ent because Of i'll health for some
time, and on several occasions has
threatened to take her life, the police
were told. She has been suffering
from a nervous trouble, and during
the last week remarked several times
that she did not feel that she could
stand it any longer, according TO her
brother
However. at breakfast yesterday. the
young woman seemed brighter than
she had in some time. Shortly be-
fore noon she left the house, suppos-
eddy TO visit a girl Friend living in
Eleventh street. She failed to return
last evening, and inquiry at the
friends home developed she had not
been there.

on the Utah for the last three years,

disappeared had he heard OF the
threats she had made to take her life.

Detectives assigned to the case say
that while Miss Sullivan had often told
her relatives and friends that she was
gong to take her life, she never sug-
gested the manner in which she con-
templated doing it
The missing girl is described as a pro-
nounced blonde She has blue eyes, is
five feet four inches tall and weighs
about 10 pounds. When she left home
she wore a plaid skirt blue jacket

parental control and OF public super
vision Of amusements open TO the
youth of both sexes.
Another prolific source of corruption
Of youth reaching the age of adoles-
is the lascivious style of dress affect
ed by women of good social standing.
1t is silly to argue that these women
are unconscious of the effect they are
producing on the opposite sex; they
know TO the fraction of millimeter
exactly how much display they arc
making. Working girls copy the
style" The results are not far to
seek; the sexual appeal TO the male is
understood and answered.
II is firmly, humbly and respectfully
suggested that our social purists and
sex hygienists who are concerned
about the welfare OF the youth Of this
country migth well begin at home by
creating a public sentiment that
would drive off the street and out of
public places all indecently dressed
women of whatever station of life, and
thus remove temptation from the feet
OF our young men and women. The
ostensibly decent women indecently
dressed has ruined thousands OF sus-
ceptible young men and women.

SeXually more moral if taught system
'atically matters connected with human
sex. This theory seems to run count
er to the teachings of experience of
who have the most to do with young
people: Take, for instance, a school
room full of children and explain with
diagrams and illustrations what would
be the horrible results of swallowing
match, and the result is bound TO be
that a number of them-pupils who
never thought of swallowing a match
will yield to the counter suggestion
and do the very thing sought to be
avoided. The child eternally warned
not to play cards experiences a most
horrible fascination to do the forbid
den thing. The sale of cigarettes in
given locality is increased by the
active propaganda of boys clubs
pledged not to smoke cigarettes. Take
mixed school of say 1000 pupils,
boys and girls, instruct them in sex
matters, with all the care and all the
scientific apparatus possible, and the
result-well, no man intimately ac-
quainted with child nature can have
the least doubt what the results would
be.
Whether we Americans are growing
erotic and sex-mad, as is frequently
suggested, may be doubted, but it is
undoubtedly true that certain news
papers are following orders said to
have been given them by their owners:
PLAY up sex matters strong" 1t
should seem as if we had about
reached stage of civilization where
public opinion might insist by legal
enactments that such public debauch-
cry must stop.
Perhaps the greatest source of sex
immortality comes from the unsuper-
vised dance hall and unregulated
amusements for young people of both
sexes. Behind that stands that pre-
eminently American practice of lax
parental control which permits young
girls to go without chaperon and alone
or in company of a young man whose
antecedents are but slightly known.
The results are often disastrous TO the
girl.
Obviously the remedy is not in
teaching the child, but in the awaken
ed conscience and sense of response
bility on the part of the child's par
onts-less instruction in school as to
how yenereal diseases are contracted
and more instruction at home as to
suitable hours and companions for
young girls at night. The reason why
many girls go wrong lies in laxity Of

GOOD ROADS SYSTEM
BY Frank Il. Rogers, State Highway
Cnuau,iSSinnar

In Michigan the social County
road system" is merely plan by
which the leading or main travelled
highways of county are placed in
charge of a commission and improved
by means OF tax levied on all the as
sessed property as well as farm pro-
perty, real and personal. pays its pro
rata share of the tax and contributes
in an equitable manner towards an
Improvement which benefits every
member OF the community.
That such a tax is just for, and is
cities is clearly shown by their large
large urban majorities given in favor
of thecounty plan whenever this ques-
tion is brought before the electors of
a county. No intelligent citizen ques-
tions the fact that ciies and villages
prosper in adirect ratio to the facilities
offered for getting into and out OF
them, with all kinds of vehicles and
all kinds of loads in all kinds of
weather and at all seasons of the year.
The county road system is local
option" measure and cannot be forced
on a community against its will. The
board of supervisors of any county,
not under, the county system, either
by petition or without, by a majority
vote at any regular or special session
resolves to submit the question Of
adopting this system to the voters of
the county, which question may be
voted on at any regular election that
may be designated, or at a special
election called for that purpose.
Three Commissioners
If, at such election, the majority of
the voters favor the county system, the
board of supervisors then has the
power TO appoint three county road
