Johnny Dryer the famous Brook

NINE REASONS WHY MEN
LEAVE THEIR HOMES
Judge Gives Result of Investi-
CATION in Mothers Pension
Campaign.

SAN. FRANCISCO, Aug. Judge
Henry Neil. in san Francisco, cam
paigning for mothers Pensions, after
crossing the continent seven times,
says he has discovered there are nine
fundamental reasons why men leave
home. The men who leave home are
the great problem in the care of de-
pendents. Judge Neil has made a
special investigation of the allied
problem in various cities.
These are Judge Neil's nine rea-
sons:
Low wages to workingmen-a gen
eral cause.
Unemployment - the naturally in
dustrious man becomes a lOafer.
Bad housing-dwellings that give a
man no enjoyment of leisure will send
him out into the street.
Whiskey-result Of the preceding
causes.
Arrest and Imprisonment OF
charges of failure to support families
Charity - interference of charity
workers in affairs of low paid work
men.
Disgrace of receiving charitable
aid.
Prison, military, or naval expert
ence which unfit a man for a home.
