increase of the number of question able dance halls and failure to util- ize a law designed to curb conner cialized prostitution.
 On September 29, 1914, an ordi- nance was passed transferring the power to, grant dance hall permits from the Police Commission to the Boarad of Supervisors. In the fol- lowing months 173 such permits were issued, 123 of which renewed during the first two weeks in January. On January 21s 1915, there were. 13 r such permits existin g-38 the notorious Barbary Coast district, 1 6 in the gen. eral region of the new tender1oin, 10 in the so-called Beach district and ' in the district near the entrance to the Exposition grounds.
 At many of these dance halls the character of the dancing and the ac- tions of the women habitues consti- tute a special menace to young men away from home restraints. Such resorts have been proven to. be the recruiting grounds where pimps and procurers are at work to swell the army of prostitutes. Young girls in search of innocent amusement are in special danger in such places, espe- cia1ly when away from home and cap tivated by the holiday or festival spirit.
 Unused Weapons Against Prostitution San Francisco has long had and has today a segregated district for prosti- tuition. It was hoped that by the pas sage of the redlight abatement law, this district and other houses of pros Ftitution throughout the city would b be closed, so that visitors to the Expo sition would not be confronted with open and fragrant vice. Largely to meet this situation the law was passed I by the legislature of 1913 and approv- ed by the people at the general cleo ton last November
 I Experience elsewhere with this law, which allows any citizen to file suit against houses of prostitution as pub lie nuisances, has shown it to be the most powerful weapon yet devised for lighting gAcommerciafized prostitution. Immediately upon its final approval it was attacked by a series of test suits. An appeal to a higher court is still Epending. Meanwhile the law has not been used and seems likely to remain unused during part or all of the Ex- position period.
 Protective Efforts.
 The Exposition authorities who
 wield the greatest Influence in the sit luation, have made themselves respon-
 Exposition grounds by pledging them. lse1ves repeatedly and publicly to main
 tain satisfactory conditions for vfsi-
 tors andi to Cooperate with protec- tive organizations. The San Fran cisco authorities are not so clearly or record, but the Mayor has given many general assurances of his intention te
 maintain order and a high standard of public morals.
 Social and civic organizations, ma
 ttonally as well as locally, are full,
 alive to kthe .city's moral dangers
 Their work is difhcu1t at best bu
 every addition to the number of young people coming to the city withou Imoney or very definite emp1oymen Emakes the problem Increasingly ser Iious.

RISKS AT SAN FRANCISCO Work Scarce and Moral Conditions Lax
 CExc1usive Service Survey

Danger signals are being flashed to young people bound for the Panama Pacific Exposition without money, friends or definite positions To show that warning Is needed, the American Social Hygiene association points to a report indicating that there are many out of employment in San Francisco and calls attention also to the city's moral conditions which give cause for anxiety.
 A survey of unernployment of wom- en in San Francisco has just been completed by the California branch of the Association of College Alumnae. According to a report based upon this survey, there has been a large in crease in the number of applications for positions while in no established business has there been discovered an increase in the number of posi- | tions available.
 Many AppIicants-Few Jobs.
 At the Exposition alone the mana ger of the employment bureau re- ported to the investigators that there were on file in his office December T, between 9O0 and 100000 applica- tions for positions. Of these between knine and ten thousand are app1fca- i tions of women. But the number of positions for women to be filled di- reetiy by the Exposition authorities lis not more than 1000.

WHAT TO PUT IN THE
 MEDICINE BAG
tBy Dr. A. F .BonneyJ

rE rk.
 Ever since the world was.young the Medicine Man has been a factor in human. economy and has been often needfuI things might have saved the family many dollars. Being asked to suggest a list of necessities for fam fly medicine box, and a means of keeping them, drew up the follow ing. If any one objects that there are but few medicines mentioned, I will retort by saying that very few people would know how to use them if there were, and might do vastly try;
 The first thing is to have proper receptacle for such things as you have on hand, and this should be up out of the reach of the children or should be kept locked, and have found that a case w1th shelves is about as handy as anything. This may be any size, but a foot and 2. half long, a foot wide and six inches deep will hold all that will ever be needed. If the man of the house is not me chanic, a, small store box may be fit ted up with but little work and skill
 Here follows a list of the things ] should advise for this case, and some of their uses indicated:
 An 8 ounce can of carbolized vase I.line, for cuts, burns, chapping and skin diseases.
 A small bottle of carbolic- acid, used as a disinfectant-
 A small can of btcardonate Of soda for burns.
 A small. can of, ground mustard fol plasters, and an emetic in case od poisoning.
 A bottle of tincture of Jamaica gin

INTERIM EGG N
 LAYING CONTEST.

The unprecedented Easter eve snowstorm came just in time to cause slight drop in the egg. production in the twenty-second week of the lay ing contest at Storrss The birds laid a total Of 3947s or T9 GEES less than for the preceding week In spite of the fact that all windows, curtains and doors were kept Closed during the day of the storm many of the houses came through with two or three bushels of snow in them all of which means of course an uninviung condition for the hens and extra work for the management as it has seemed necessary to clean out the damp litter and put in fresh straw for scratching material. Doubtless many New England poI1ltrymen en- and their hens suffered similar inconyen fences.
 sBarron,s White wyandottes and Branford Farms pen of White Rocks from Groton, Conn.,. tied for first place for the week with a yield of 55 eggs each. A New York pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Charles o. Polhemus of Newburglb were 9. close second with 54s eggs to. their credit while third place was won by a western pen of White Leghoans I owned by George M. McMi1lan Of kcredit. Perhaps the closest rsece in the con 1. l test is that for in divd7iial fonors. A number of birds havs laid better than 1 one hundred eggs each during the first five months. the best two being l a Barred Rock rom Brookfie1d Cen t.ter, Conn., ai1d Buff Wyand otte 1 from Holden, Mass. each of which Jshas a. score of TOT eggs up to April l 1st. It is Interesting to know in this connection that the Buff Wyando otte hen in question is a full sister to the I Buff Wyandotte that won third in vidua1 honors in the contest last year l and both of these hens were sired by | a tcockerel whose sisters won first and 1 second and grand champion of their
 class iH the Madison Square Garden
 Poultry Show three years ago. Thus it is entirely possible as in this case l to find good layers among birds of the show room type.
