"Ths Traffic" Depicts conditiens That
Confront American People.
1.-THE Traffic." Rache1 Marshall's
drama depicting the conditions in girls
for immoral purposes. was the attrac-
ton at the Odeon Monday night before
a fair sized audience.
Sad as is the story Of Agnes Berton.
lured into white slavery, to save a little
sister from the ravages OF tuber-
culosis. strong moral lesson is drawn,
and a brutal object lesson presented.
Dealing with situation without gloves
proved shocking, Of course.-yet the
presentation was clean thruout, and
with nothing to offend but the startling
fact that such conditions in the big
cities do exist. ANY large city, is
made the locale for the drama, and
today Is the time Of staging.
"The Traffic" draws with brutal
force two things. One is that men and
women do plan to secure young girls
for this traffic in souls. Another is
that a girl. once hardened by sin, too
often is unable to. turn into righteous
paths again. The effect Of the booze
and DOPE habit on the wanton crea-
lures is too strong. AS Agnes put it..
the life is "the short road ito hell,
Miss Marshall, in presenting facts
before the footlights,, tells iof a young
girl Of Is who Is the support Of her
only sister, victim Of tuberculosis.
The family physician has Informed the
older sister that. In order-1o save the
little sister, she must be sent to the
country for at least q year: otherwise
she has but two months to live. The
cheapest rate at a country health re-
sort il IS per week. The older sister
earns but Sc per week as a mill hand
and making buttonholes in shirtwaists
on extra time.
The plotters. who have had an eye on
Agnes, because Of her beauty Of face
and suppleness Of form, learn of the
little sisters" case and play upon it.
Two men ard a woman start in on the
older girl. One. under guise OF love,
promises marriage and to defray the
expenses of the care Of the younger
girl-it develops later to cure her only
that she too might be taken into
house Of shame. Agnes agrees to the
plan,t only to learn after it is too late
the real purpose Of supposed benefac-
tor. She is beaten into submission.
That is enough Of the story. except
that the girl never reforms. The story

otherwise, but the purpose of the
author in showing the real facts In too
many cases would not be served.
Laura Hudson, in the leading charac-
ter Of Agnes, was all that could be
desired. Her work was very finished

not over acted. The support of the
entire company was good. that COM

Or. r. n. Sylvester, Of State Univsrs-
ity, Examines Local Pupils.
Dr. r. H. Sylvester. director of the
psychological clinic at the state uni
versity at Iowa City. is here for a three
days stay conducting examinations at
the various ward school buildings to
determine, If possible, the reasons for
certain pupils being backward in their
work, and to instruct the teachers as
to what special exercises to give the
sub normal children in order to bring
them up to their normal places in tho
Grades.
DR.. Sylvester has spent years at
graduate study in education. For three
years he has been conducting psyco-
logical clinics at the University of
Pennsylvania, and now divides his time
between his clinics at Iowa City and
school work turnout the state.
He examines special cases brought to
him by the teachers, and gives direc-
ton for medical treatment If he finds
physical deficiencies or he directs as to
special care at home, in the school.
or even in an, institution If he finds
any thing sub normal in mental devel-
opment.
! DIR. Sylvester says that at least one
third of the cases brought to him for
apparent backward mentality would
never be brought were all school chill
dren examined as to eye, ear, and
physical deficiencies. He finds very
few who can not be corrected by spe-
cial instruction and without institu-
ton treatment.
DR.. Sylvester will speak to teachers
and mothers at the high school We'd
