Teach Life Mystery to
Girls, Expert Says

Make some effort to find these
girls in your town. They are there.
Having found them. you can attach
yourself to them with bands of love
and understanding.
The way to know them is TO study
your own heart; remember the days
of your youth. The influences that
protected you will in the end save
them.
Give them healthy and sane in
structions as to the mystery Of life.
Warn them OF disease, and the crime
of abortion.
knowledge must drive out igno-
rance. The evil must be supplanted
bv the good.
Each of you can have a power
ful influence in providing amuse-
where the sex appeal is eliminated.
Use your influence TO bring about
better economic and industrial con-
ditions, so that fathers can be mas
ters in their own home; so that
Young men can marry early in life.
Teach ignorant mothers and faith
ers so that they will love and un-
derstand their children more than
they do.
Teach boys and young men to
honor womanhood. You can make
them realize that young girls repre-
sent more than half OF all future
generations that upon them de-
pends the health and power OF the
race; that to inJure a girl. take ad-
vantage of her racial instinct AZ a
critical moment Is a crime against
unborn generations.
Men must learn to sacrifice
themselves, IL need be. for the good
of the race.
Use your influence TO restore TO
the home the simple yet powerful
protection which grows out Of the
belief in the religion of our fathers
The most complete solution of a
man or woman's sex problem lies
in vital. personal rela tionship 10
the infinite and eternal God. This
We must teach our sons and daugh-
ters."

CHICAGO, June ls.-George j.
kneeland did some plain talking TO
delegates to the General Federation
Of Women's Club. He is director OF
the department of investigation of
the American Social Hygiene Asso-
citation. Kneeland's remarks were
based on statistics gathered by his
department and on the reports of
investigators. He found that a pro-
Life source of supply to commercial
lied vice comes from girls between
the ages of fifteen and eighteen
years, the dangerous age of the de
Nelopment Of the racial instinct, and
that a startling minority of these
comes from homes other than those
Of poverty and ignorance.
kneeland's agents in the last year
have gathered histories of 800 girls
not yet professionally immoral, nu,
well started on the downward path.
Contrary to the general impression
and the reports Of some investi
gators that the majority OF these
girls are fceble-minded or sub
normal. kneeland said that the ma
Jority of the girls are intelligent.
Some Of these, he asserted.
Some live at home in idleness and
ease. They are typical American
girls. daughters of respectable and
prosperous parents.
But II is only fair TO say that the
ma jority are poor and ignorant with
a side knowledge Of evil and little
conception OF good.
All through the reports OF agents
the speaker found certain character
istics among the girls. They were
rebellious toward home and parents:
they are suspicious and scornful of
boy friends, whom they call "boobs-
Desiring secrecy, they prefer to meet
strangers and married men.
kneeland said dancing and impas-
stoned love scenes on the stage in
tensiled the sex appeal. He told the
women they could help save these
misguided girls, and made the fol-
lowing suggestions:

REGRETS LACK OF PENSION.

TT is my greatest regret there isn't
a civil service pension provision for the
retirement of these employees" Commis-
sioner Saltzgaber said today. MY in
structions are specific to reduce the
Pension Office force The blow must
fall hard on those who are to go, but
this, no matter how much 1 may re-
gret it, cannot be avoided. 1 will say,
however, that there is not civil war
veteran or widow of a civil war vet
eran in the list of employees dropped
for want of an appropriation"
Commissioner SaltZgaber today re-
vised his figures of the changes made
in conformity with the new legislation.
Where, yesterday, it was announced
that sixty would be dismissed, and
about leo others given reductions of
from 500 to $500 a year, today. Mr.
Saltzgaber declared there would be
sixty-five dismissals and 224 reductions
in pay. Most of those reduced in pay
were those drawing salaries of 5000,
$3.50, and s1.6oo. Nearly all of those
dismissed were those receiving salaries
of from SEQ to 81 200.
Many Seek Transfers.
Employees of the Pension Office take
the wholesale dismissals this year as
the handwriting on the wall. and there
has been a widespread movement TO-
ward transfers to the other self-sus-
tanning departments. Ten years ago
there were LOO Pension Office employees.
The number has now been reduced be-
low 1,100.
And the new pension act of May II,
1872, under which nearly all the civil
war pensioners are being paid. reduces
the work to an extent that will permit
greater reductions next year, and in the
succeeding years. Formerly the civil
war pensioners were under the invalid
act. Claims were made on account of
sickness or disability due to civil war
service, and proofs were required which

MYSTERY OF CHEAP
GASOLINE SOLVED
Pine Bluff Man Selling Buzz Wagon
Juice Cheaper Than Wholesale
Prices Quoted. =

The mere fact that the Senyard
Automobile company is selling gaso-
line at 10 cents the gallon will no
doubt prompt many who covet a buzz
wagon to purchase one while the auto
juice Is so cheap. =
1t has been said by men who would
like to enjoy the pleasure of an auto
mobile that they would purchase one
if it was not for the fact gasoline was
SO high. Since the cut prices have
been prevailing at the Senyard garage,
prospective buyers have questioned
various auto dealers as to the price of
machines and then asked the price OF
the Juice"
A short time ago Mr.. Senyard adver-
tised gasoline for sale at IL cents a
gallon, and he said that through his
advertisement in The Graphic that he
sold so much of the stuff" that it
proved a profitable investment to ad-
vertise again in The Graphic and cut
the price even lower this time.
The fact that Mr.. Senyard's garage
is the only one in the city where
gasoline can be purchased at this
price has caused wonderment as to
whether Mr.. Senyard is philanthropy
list or fast, real, live hustling, bust
ling business man. The truth now
comes to light. Mr.. Senyayrd declares
he is a believer of the old say: Early
to bed, early to rise, work like hi
and advertise-in the Graphic, cause
it pays. =

RAILROAD OFFICE
MENPLANN|NGUNIO
Would Organize to Avert
Loss by Reason Of G. B.
Retrenchment Policy.

In order to avert he contemplated
four days lay-off during the month
OF July, August and September of all
clerks in the employ of the Cotton
Belt shops, efforts are on foot to
organize a union Of the office men in
self-protection against the lay-off
policy of the road. The clerks and
office men are the only class Of en-
ployes now not organized.
The men claim that the lay-off
works a hardship on them, because in
most instances they are forced to
remain on duty without pay in order
to keep their work up to date. 1t is
pointed Out that since the company
has removed one Of the men from the
office, many of the men are forced to
work from twelve to fourteen hours
a day. They argue that their work
must be kept up and during the en-
forced lay-off they are expected TO
be at work just the same. Especial
ly at stations where there is only one
clerk Or ticket seller it is absolutely
impossible for the man to be Off.
Should the union be organized, the
matter as it is argued by the men
will be presented to the railroad COM
pany, and unless some action is taken
to remedy the situation a strike may
be had.

AMERICANS ARE
FLOCKING BACK
FROM CANADA
Tired OF Ice and Snow, They are Seek
ing Locations in Gods
Country.

Washington, July 10.-Secretary
Wilson of the department of labor is
pleased at reports that the member of
American citizens emigrating to Can
ada is decreasing. For several years
the tide o. emigration across the
northern borders of the United States
grew to such proportions as to cause
anxiety to government officials and
others. During 1912, 1881 American
citizens went to Canada, while the
number returning from that country
to the United States was only 3S,127.
For the eleven months ending May
'31, 1914, it is stated at the department
1886 citizens of this country went
over to the Dominion, while 44,127
Americans returned to the United
States. A gratifying feature of the
return movement to Secretary Wilson
is that the large nun, bers of those
coming back are seeking information
from the department as to the location
of land on which they may settle.

JOHNSON OLDEST OF
LATTER-DAY CHAMPS
John L. Was Only 81 When He Met
Defeat; Fitz 37-Black Panther
Is Past 80.

The fact that Jack Johnson had
reached the age of So years 50 days
when he risked his title against Frank
Moran in Paris last Saturday, has led
to some interesting discussion regard
ing the ages at which previous heavy
weight champions lost their ring lau-
rels. John l.. Sullivan was "a years
old when defeated by James J. Corbett
at New Orleans in 1892. He held the
title for ten years, but Corbett was
less fortunate, for he retained the
championship but five years, being 81
years old when Bob Fitzsimmons won
at Carson City in 1897.
Fitzsimmons tenure of champion
ship was even less, for at the age of
81 he was knocked out by Jim Jeffries
at Coney Island in 1899, after holding
the title for two years and three
months. Jeffries, who met defeat at
the hands of Johnson at Reno July 4,
1914, was 80 years old when the negro
wrested the ring honors from him. He
held the championship for II years.
