THE GIRL QUESTION
The Serious Problem of How to Look
After Our Girls, Has its Answer.

The Serious Problem of How to Look
After Our Girls, Has its Answer.
No study could be more fruitful
than that of the home from which
the girl comes, the wages of the
father, the breakdown of authority
because parents are no longer able
to order the goIngs and comings Of
the girl who adds to the scanty
earnings, the unsupervised hours of
leisure in the pleasure resorts with
free drinking and unruly dancing,
the immense stimulus of modern ex-
element in Its myriad forms of love
scenes of films, of racy vaudeville.
of lurid drama. The mighty urge
toward freedom of all present tend
ency. the casting off of authority,
the leap into the stream of life be-
fore maturity-these swift currents
have seized the unframed youth of
our generation. Can anything short
of a strong adult nature, officially
reinforced, withstand the pressure
If modern life, where change and
hurry have been substituted for
orderly development inside pro-
tected areas?
Girls, before they are cast adrift
in the industrial swirl. need the
building up of moral reserve. What
vague intuition can be pitted against
the pleasant supper and dance?
There is needed the reserve of
patient years of belief in a moral
order, of trust in the presence of
love. The modern girl is widely
separated from her mother-separat-
ed not only in space, but in love.
Just now we are busy devisiDg sub
stitutes for central controls. We
are planning and even legislating
such social controls" as public
dance halls that shall be supervised.
A supervised dance hall is far better
than an unsupervised dance hall.
But a salarled social worker in
charge of many little strangers will
never take the place of the mother.
In the lives of the workers, it may
well be that civic centers, COM
munity centers. will replace the
single home for the recreation hours
of evening. But the power of the
home and the presence of the par
ents must he extended over that
community center. The wit of man
cannot devise substitute for the
mother and the father. There is
no other form of social control equal
to that of the home. If our eco
nomic conditions are making this
home influence impossible, then such
change must he made as shall en-
able homes to be decently main
tanned, youth to pass its formative
years in education and discipline,
parents to regain authority, and to
possess a margin of leisure for fine
relationship with the growing life.

CONGENIAL WORK.
And Strength to Perform It.

A person in good health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work.
 On the other hand, if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drudgery.
 Until recently" writes a Washing ton girl, II was railroad stenograph- CT, which means full work every day.
 Like many other girls in a large city, I lived at boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes black coffee, etc.
 After a few months of this diet used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort, and I thought the work was to blame-too arduous. "At home I had heard my father speak of young fellow who went long ! distances in the cold on Grape-Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast.
 II concluded if it would tide him might help me, so on my way home one night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast.
 "I stuck to Grape Nuts, and in less than two weeks I noticed improve ment. I remember I used to walk the 12 blocks to business and knew how good it was simply to live.

WILL SEND 22,000
 MEN TO AID BRITISH
Canadian Contingent Expects to
 Leave Within a Week.

Ottawa, Aug. 11.-Within a week Colonel Samuel Hughes, minister of militia, hopes to have nose of the 22.000 men who will make up the Canadian contingent which will go to the war; on the way to Valcartier, Quebec, the mobilizing center.
 Three Regiments En Route.
 Three regiments are already en route to Valcartier, there being the Royal Canadian horse artillery, the royal Canadian dragons and the Strathcona horse. It has not yet will go to the seat of war. Recruit ing will close for the overlsea con tingent on Wednesday night, and from the list of names sent into the militia department. the 22.0o0 men required will be picked without de- lay and will be rushed to the mo- bilizing center. s
 Accepts Full Division.
 King George has notified the gov- ernment here that he will be pleased to accept a full division of 22,000 men from Canada to fight with the British troops. In addition to this division the regiment being raised and equipped by Hamilton Gault of Montreal will go to the front.
 An idea has been prevalent in some quarters that large mum Der of cavalrymen will be sent to Great Britain. This idea, according to of ficials, is wrong. It is stated that it is proposed to send one squad of cavalry composed of 157 men.
 Telegrams from Servians.
 During the last few days Colonel Hughes has received many telegrams from Servians in the United States offering to come to Canada and en- list for active service in Europe un- der the British flag. These Servians have explained that since they can not get back to their own country to join their home army in fighting AustriaA they desire to help Great Britain. Many reservists from the French and Russian armies have made similar efforts and these, with the offers from the Servians are be- ing considered by the government.
 Patriotic Employers.
 Several of the best known firms in Canada have notified Colonel Hughes that they vii, pay their em- FAO1 oo ''AAO 6O out W1LA tIl0 SdA1dNAeA1i contingent their full. wages while they are away, or will pay them to dependent relatives. A movement is on foot to raise fund by subscrip- tions to pay all those volunteers who go to the war who will not receive wages from their employers while away. Owing to the apprehension felt on the Pacific coast, all the reeiments m British Columbia are being mobiIfzed and in a few days will be ready for service. These regiments include -he 104th infantry, the sixth infantry the fifth artillery and the 3oth and 31st horse.
 In different parts of Canada sev- eral German reservists have been dr. rested because their attitude was said to be rlenacing to British .n- terests.

BUT SLIGHT EFFECT UPON UNITED STATES
Prof Fisher Says European War Will Not Hit Us Economically.

New Haven, Aug. 11.-Economi- cally the present war in Europe is likely to have but liltte effect upon the industry and trade of the United States as a whole, according to Prof. Irving Fisher, professor of economies in Yale university. The foreign trade of this country is comparatively small compared with the vast volume of internal trade, making up but one per cent of the total. This internal trade now amounts 70 45n billion per annum.
 The chief effects of the war in this country will be those felt by individ- ual firms who furnish supplies to the warning nations, and by the security market the probable dumping of foreign and American securities upon this country to pay for these supplies, and by importers. These will be the chief ways in which the war will in- fiuence American prosperity The dan ger of a panic from the unloading of securities on the American market is greatest at present and will not in crease. Should panic occur it will be localized in New York and will not affect the country as whole.
