FOR MORAL SAFETY OF GIRLS
The Illinois senate welfare COM
mission have asked all of the wO-
mems organizations in the city to
assist them in a fight for better laws
for the moral safety of women and

resolutions, after discussing the sub

committee to look up these subjects
and be able to discuss them at con-
vention to be held sometime in the
fall.
Bill will be drawn on the minimum
wage question for women and
against prostitution.
Lieut.-Gov. Barratt O'Hara, chair
man Of the commission, in letter
to clubwomen says in part:

to present to the legislature, as part

direction of necessary and advisable
safeguards and projections for our
girlhood and womanhood. This legis-

should be divided into two classes:
First, that which is fundament-
ally economic, or industrial, as bills
for the minimum wage, assuring wo-
man workers of a fair living wage.
Second, that which is fundament-

prostitution.

the commission is aware, has upon

THE REAL KITCHENER

Tx HEHE NJ SF1ENEh

the price. The place was full of young
officers, and they were all pretty mer-
ny, when, looking round, we see a big
chap standing in the doorway. It was
Kitchener, and before you could say
smoke l was the only chap left
lust me and him. Who are you?' he
says. Carrying dispatches and wait
ing for replies l says. Show me
your papers, he says, and I shows
him. He looks at them and hands
them back. Have another Bass he
says. That's the sort of man Kitch-
ener is
