ulation or Recognition Of
White Slavery.

Chicago. May 29.-Discussion of the
report of the special committee on
white slave traffic was the order of
the day at the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the United
States. The report emphasized the
slogan mo federation, no regulation,
no recognition" and urged that the
evil be eradicated by the strict en-
forcement Of municipal, state and
federal laws.
Doubt was expressed in the report
Of h ~advisability Of teaching sex
hygiene in the public schools and par
ents were urged to inform their chill
dren personally OF the truths Of life.
An overture seeking to allow women
to serve as ruling elders in the Presby-
terrain church was frowned on by the
assembly, which sustained the COM
mittee on bills and overtures in its
recommendations that no action be
taken on the petition.
A Recommendation that where
ministers of the Presbyterian church
are sued for divorce the local Presbytery
should investigate the case and spread
it's report on the records of the Pres
bytery was approved and sent to the
various Presbyteries for a referendum
vote.
