WOULD EDUCATE. SAYS
If the women of the underworld,
kicked out of the limitations of a
segregated district blythe profession
al refOTmers, should take up their
abode in the exclusive apartment
buildings occupied by the rich and ply
their trade along the fashionable
Lake Shore Drive, would the rich in
very fear of the havoc worked among
their sons and daughters put an end
to prostitution?
Miss Carolyn Grimsby, social sec
rotary of the court of domestic rela-
lions, believes this would happen, and
further adds that only by familiariz-
ing the rich, and, therefore, the pow
erful, with the menace that profess
sional prostitution is to the commU-
nifty can they be aroused to any ac-
ton.
THE rich, as a class, hold them
selves sloof from the problem" Miss
Grimsby said. ct is quite a distant
one to them when they know it is 10
Gated in some section far removed,
but if it were to encrOach on their
own preserves, if in the same apart
nent building there should be a fiat
conducted by women of the under
world to entice the young sons and
daughters into that life, it would
force the problem upon the rich as
concrete problem and they would
adopt severe measures to protect
their own"
Don't you think they would mere
ly agitate for the re-opening of the
segregated district in a part of the
city away from Them" a reporter for
The Day Book asked.
mo, I do not" Miss Grimsby re-
piled. 81 do not believe any class of
people would have the audacity to
come out openly and say that they
would not submit to prostitution in

1.-The solution of this problem is ed
vocational. Unless we are willing to
admit that it is a necessary evil we
must educate boys to acquire respect
for wOmanhood and self-cOntrOl. So
long as the problem is distant one
to the rich they will not trouble to
educate their boys, they will simply
continue to protect their own daugh-
tiers.
But when they are forced to real
ize that its evils can only be eliminat-
ed by educating their sons in self-re-
straint and to realize the great evil at
tendant upon prostitution even if we
only consider it from the standpoint
of disease, they will begin this edUca-
ton.
81 do not agree with Miss Rather
inc Bement Davis. commissioner OF
correction of New York, that-it exists
chiefly among the poor even today.
PROFESSIONALLY prostitution is prac-
ticed to a certain extent by the rich.
Their sons contribute to its continue
ance, but their sons do not risk the
limelight of publicity. Their daugh-
tiers are sometimes it's victims, but
the power of wealth prevents any
scandal.
81 do agree with her that the girl
who is unable to make sufficient mo-
ney on which to live is more expos
ed to it's temptations, but do not
agree that her environment is a
greater temptation. TO the contrary,
the very simplicity of her life helps
her in the struggle. She hasn't ex-
pensfve tastes; little pleasures give
her happiness and she doesn't have
to seek false excitement because she
has possessed and become bored with
the natural pleasures.
Poor girls do long for prettier
clothes and they are influenced by

Although it was one of the hot
test afternoons we have had yet, a
good size crowd journeyed out to
the Athletic grounds to see the
double header which opened the
first of the free baseball games. The
first game was a little late in start
ing, it being three o'clock before the
ball was put in play. Mayor Eaton
was absent from town, but his rep
resentative, Mr.. Guy Toph. did the
honors in fine shape, throwing the
first ball that opened the Lakeland
City League and gave birth to free
baseball 1t was pleasing to note
that most of the attendance was in
the grand stand. and the majority
on the side lines were children. The
Moose band was scheduled to play
in town and out at the game, but
for some reason could not get to-
gether. With "Wlamp" Watson in
the box for the Military Company
and "Ebby" Sawyer on the mound
for the Moose the battle began.
Wampus had little the best of the
argument as the Moose batters were
lacking in the art of hitting. Saw
Yer was wild at times due to a sore
arm. The Moose were able to push
but one tally across the pan while
the Militia managed to coral seven,
some earned and some otherwise.

HEALTH SEEKERS BUREAU.

Denver.-A Health Seekers Bureau.
equipped to give advice and informar
ton to new-coming health-seekers to
Colorado has been established here by
the Denver Visiting Nurse Associa-
tion. The aim OF the Bureau is to
post health-seekers upon the necessity
of taking proper hygienic care OF them
selves, and SO not depending futilely
upon the sole benefits of the Colorado
climate for their recovery.
Accordingly, the bureau seeks to get
in touch with health-seekers not only
upon their arrival at Denver, but even
before they make the journey, SO a.
to give prospective newcomers the In
dispensable advantage OF knowing
how to care for themselves. and also
to assist them in finding sanitary and
hygienic quarters.
The work of the bureau is under
the supervision OF A. H. Ortmeyer,
who himself came to Denver fifteen
months ago from Chicago in the ad-
vance stages Of tuberculosis. Since
his recovery he has devoted himself
actively to the cause Of strangers here
In quest OF health. Through the
Health Seekers Bureau he is able to
do in a more consistent and organized
way what heretofore he could do in
only an individual and hap-hazard
way.

Invent. a New Chicken.

George White has produced by Sc

chicken in existence after ten years
Of effort, during which he crossed and
recrossed breeds. The result is a
big white fowl that continually seems
to be sitting, the impression being due
solely to the shortness of its legs. When
it walks 1t waddles like a duck.
The advantage. says White. is that
the newly invented" type of chicken
is not a roamer and not a scratcher.

enough of reach to scratch. The re-
suit is that it lives quiet. peace
