obligations of a civilization constantly be-

they are directing their students to re-

A Social Workers Views
On Con1nlercidlized Vice

have been hardened and embIttered and
may be led further astray. All such we
know the procurers and their agents seek
out and entrap. We may safely say
that not more than one girl In a hum
dred becomes n prostitute who has been
carefully protected UP TO the age OF
twenty. In other words, we have learned
! that the hariot is usually the victim of
conditions, not the brazen chooser OF a
life OF shame.
We have also learned that the groups
OF procurers push "the business" as a
commercial enterprise and therefore
stimulate in countless ways both the
supply and demand Finally, we have
learned that tolerated prostitution boil
sters up and protects other forms OF
disorder. debauches young men, promotes
gambling. drinking and every other
known vice. These facts have been
gathered by the various commissions
which have Investigated the vice prob
lem. II il common knowledge that a
majority OF several OF the commissions
which I have named began their task
favorable to federation and segregation
But every one has thus far ended the
task in the conviction that both must
cease.
What has the new conscience to say to
the facts brought out? It declares that
the ruin and debauchery of women py
men shall no longer be regarded as AN
inevitable condition Of society" but an IN
tolerable iniquity. The public authorizes
of Philadelphia. Detroit. Syracuse, and
Milwaukee have pronounced against toll
Grafton. Boston did SO in advance OF the
others. These cities are but examples OF
the change of sentiment and OF officiai
action in our country.
1t Is perhaps less known here that the
European tendency Is in the same direc-
ton. A French oficisl commission rec
commended the abolition of the system OF
licensing prostitutes still existing In
Paris. Denmark, Norway, and Great
Britain have abandoned the system. In
Germany, forty-eight of 1s2 cities have
abolished it, In Switzerland. Geneva Is
the only city where 1t still survives.
Washington has taken an important
step in the right direction by the passage
Of the Kenyon bill, which is conceded TO
mean the end of the Division" Through
the new power which this law gives 1t
should mean that the Official liberation Of
commercialized vice is at an end In the
National Capital and that Washington.
which has set other standards for the
cities of our country, will thus set also q
higher standard Of public morals.

BY JAMES BRONSON REYNOLDS

The abolition of commercialized vice Il
a demand of twentieth century intelli-
gence and conscience. Not only a new
conscience, but a new knowledge has
been brought to bear upon this ancient
evil. Pioneers OF the movement of aboli-
ton there were, in the nineteenth CEN
tury. and OF these We should never for
get to name and honor Aaron Powell IN
America and Josephine Butler in Eng
land. But, Notwithstanding their faith
and fervor. the prophets of abolition OF
vice spoke In general to duh ears In the
nineteenth century. They lacked the
knowledge we possess and their hearers
lacked the social conscience OF today.
How and what have we learned. and
what Qulckened consciene has this knowl-
edge given us?
The ways of our learning have been
manifold. A National immigration Com
mission, created In 1906. taught US the
national and international rsmifications
Of the so-called white slave traffic, and
exposed the machinery of the traffic and
its exploitation OF helpless immigrant
women. City commissions in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia. Pittsburgh, Chi
cago, Minneapolis. and other cities; State
commissions in Maryland. Massachusetts.
and Wisconsin, and several grand turies
have issued their findings varying in de-
Out VI lucy
have taught us that the ill-famed ''Divi-
SION in Washington and similar dis
tricts in other cities, contain human his
tories involving much more than the
mere fact that abandoned women cater
to the lust of depraved men
We have found from the early study
Of the lives of these women that they
are usually the children of poverty, that
in a majority of cases they are mentally
defective or congenitally weak of will.
that they are generally uneducated, that
their home training has been deficient or
vicious, and that frequently they have
been thrust into the world ignorant OF
IFS temptations and pitfalls We have
learned that where tolerated districts
exist in our large cities. a group Of pro-
curers and their agents are in the
business on the lookout for girls who
already are on the slippery path OF ven
turesome living, girls who love luxury
and may be tempted to pay the price,
girls who are too venturesome or too
trustful, girls who have no protectors
TO whom they may turn when in trouble,
who innocently and naturally seek places
Of entertainment, and girls who, nav
ing trusted one man to their undoins'

YELLOW Perch

Collection Of Eggs, However,
May Be Delayed by Cold
Weather.
MARCH Is USUAL DATE
HIKING Done in Almost Any Con-
tainer-Incubation Period from
Ten to Twenty Days.

/ Yellow perch. which, on the vernal
visitation to the spawning grounds of
the Potomac, beat the shad and white
I perch to the trysting places by several,
respectively. days and weeks. will be
! coming in soon. True, the cold snap has
! set everything back. but the Bureau of
Fisheries, lured by the oft-poetized spec
| tacle of spring upon winters lap. has
opened up its organs Point Station, and
, the bureaus agents there will remain on
watch.
! Oficials of the bureau said last night
/ the cold weather had postponed the ad-
vent OF the yellow perch. Generally the
| collection Of yellow perch eggs begins
about March Is or later. and the season
may not be late this year if warm
weather comes back this week.
II is chiefly with collection OF eggs
! that the bureau people are concerned in
| their surveillance of yellow perch, but
that concern is OF vast Importance, es-
pecially to residents Of Washington. For
the bureau Is working to prevent total
destruction of the yellow perch, the shad
and the white perch. Its workers at
Bryan's Point and Havre de Grace, i'm
portant stations on Chesapeake Bay
waters. take millions of eggs every spring
incubate them srtificially, and distribute
the fry in waters where they will do
the most good.
Egrs Are FerffIiEed.
II is feasible, and under some condi-
tons desirable, to expel and fertilize yell
low perch eggs articficially, but under
proper conditions practically all natu-
rally deposited eggs are fertiliZed. For
this reason the bureaus work largely
consists in the incubation OF the natu-
rally deposited eggs obtained from fish
confined in crates for the purpose, and
to some extent by collection Of natural
spawn in marshes where left by reced-
ing waters
1t has been found that the eggs can
be Matched in almost any kind of con-
tainer through which water is flowing
open troughs, open jars, shad aquaria,
&c.-but careful experiments Indicate that
the Mcdonald open-top and the Downing
jar are preferable to other kinds of equip
ment, the Downing jar possessing the
advantage of greater capacity. 1t will
hold 10000 to 10000 eggs.
The eggs are comparatively heavy. and
are slightly adhesive when first deposited
The period Of incubation in a water tenn
perature Of a degrees to 81 degrees is ten
to twenty days. The absorption of the
yolk sac requires a period Of eight days
in a mean temperature of 81 degrees. On
the Potomac River the average number
of eggs from fish Of one-half pound
weight Is about IS.Oo0.
A feature that the Bureau officials
especially like about the propagation
OF yellow perch is that the eggs util-
ize are gotten from fish caught for
commercial purposes so that the eggs,
II not artIfcially incubated. would be
wasted.
The general handling of shad and
white perch Is similar TO that OF yell
