New York.-What is said to be the
first mother police force in the his
tory of the world has been organized
on the lower East side of New York
city. The primary purpose of the or
ganization, which is composed exclu-
sively of mothers Of the district, is the
protection of young girls. To this end
it will make war on extremes in mod
ern day. dress, wage campaign
against that type of dance and movie
hall regularly known as the cadet,
and keep open house at all times for
the young girl in need of advice.
AS side lines of endeavor, the wom-
en- police will keep look out for false
weights and tricky scales in trade
shops, instruct immigrants in the re-
auisites of good citizenship, keep
watch on the public parks to prevent
waste paper, litter and other forms of
Dissertation, and generally aim at the
upbuilding Of community life.
The "mother police" is the idea of
Harry H. Schlacht, young attorney,
who started the boy police movement,
which has spread through the coun-
try with such rapidity the past few
years. 1t was from the operation of
his boy police force that Mr.. Schlacht
received his inspiration for the organ
ization of this new department.

trance to dance halls and were looked
upon with disfavor at many moving
picture theaters-or in general in fields
of endeavor fruitful for the cadet. The
young attorney talked the situation
over with a number of mothers of the
East side and 100 of them volunteered
to lend their aid in the formation Of an
organization to abate the cadet evil.
Mr.. Schlacht assumed active charge of

BOYS Become Scarce.

For the first time in more than 20
years the Children's Aid society Of
New York is unable to furnish enough
boys to families who want either to
adopt them or care for them until the
boys become Of age. The reason for
this is the campaign for military pre-
paredness and the great demand for
workers in war munition factories.
Almost every day letters come to
the society headquarters asking for
boys who have been trained ut its farm
school.
Last month Al of the society's boys,
sixteen to twcnty-One years old, en-
listed in the army and navy service
for boys. The munition factories take
a large number of the older boys.

deville houses, the prosecution Of cigar
stores selling cigarettes to minors, the
throwing of intiammable refuse into
fire escapes, supervision Of immigrant
girl employment and other reforms.
Every member Of the force will be
equipped with police whistle and in
structed to summon regular police
man to her assistance at the first show
of trouble. Wherever it is necessary
the women will be directed to make ar
rests on their own initiative, under au-
thority Of the law. A number of the
women have volunteered to act as SUI
pervisors of the "play streets" recently
opened by the police, in addition to
their regular duties. These enlistments
are counted on to work wonders in the
way of juvenile reform, us well as to
reduce the percentage Of deaths from
traffic accidents.

Old Wine in New Bottles.

What happens when the accepted
tune of a national anthem is changed
even with considerable care is revealed
by this from Tom Days column in
the Philadelphia Evening Ledger: "As
the opener of the exercises at the con-
vention of the National Association Of
Credit Men in Pittsburgh the words
of America were sung to the new
music arranged for them. When the
applause had dwindled away, the presi-
dent arose and said: I feel that our
convention is never properly begun un-
less we sing the national anthem, so
let us all arise now and sing Amer
ica."'" prolonged aIplause.)

BEAR UNLOCKS SECRET
OF FORGOTTEN TRAGEDY
Leads Hunters to Cave Where Remains
Of Man, Woman, and Child Are
Found Concealed.

Velva.-What is believed to have
been tragedy Of the early days of
the Northwestern was discovered hero
when hunters pursuing bear made
their way into secluded cave and, af-
ter removing a great stone slab, found
the skeleton of man, woman and
child in second cave.
So cleverly was the entrance to the
second cave concealed that residents Of
40 years, and even the owner Of the
property, had failed to make the dis
covery.
Those who have been conducting a
close investigation are of the opinion
that the three were locked in the cave
and starved to death, perhaps by .
tribe of Indians.

BUSINESS IS GROWING BETTER

Business in the United States is
certainly on the improve. Travellers
from the east state that factories are
running overtime and that 1t is almost
impossible for dealers to count on
when they can get their goods doliv-
cred to them.
The local office OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company has been
notified that owing to the press of
business in certain OF their cable de-
partments, that the Telegraph Com
pany will have to cease taking the de-
ferred delivery cable letters, which SER
vice has become so popular with pa
irons. This is a system much like the
night or day letter plan. whereby long.
er messages are sent at reduced rates
by permitting the company to send
them when the lines are not rushed
with other commercial business.
Those whoh ave studied the straws
which show which way the winds OF
prosperity are blowing, feel that the
coming year is destined to be one of
the best years America has ever had,
whether the war lasts or not, and
there is a great enthusiasm in eastern
business over the outlook for bust
ness in 1916.
