TRICKSTERS' TRICKS

A superaltive degree of prepared
ness on the part OF fathers and moth
crs against the rapidly growing white
slave traffic was urged by the Rev.
: h. Belts, national lecturer for the
National Purity Federation, at the
Boston avenue Methodist church,
south, last night. The Tricks OF
1rCksters" was the subject chosen
by Doctor Belts and he fOrCefully
and eloquonty portrayed the evils
that are open to the young girls of the
country
Lantern slides were used by the
lecturer TO enforce his message. The
scenes related to the many tricks re
sorted to by the white slayers" 10
procure their victims. Some of the
lectures were of pretty girls-seyeral
of them from OklahOma-whO have
been captured and held prisoners by
the men and women engaged in this
practice.
"Theaters, cafes and public dance
halls said the Reverend Belts, ARE
the principal places where the white
SLAYER reapS his greatest harvest.
Promise of a stage career and re-
sponsible positions with good pay are
some of the arguments used by the
H,Cn and women. Love at first sight

Never Heard of Since.
The Reverend Belts told many cases
Of which he has personal knowledge
In a county seat town In Kansas a
man met nice girl on Thursday
morning and took her with him TO
Kansas City Saturday night under
pledge Of marriage. She has never
been heard Of since.
Now, l am looking for the daugh-
ter of a business man who does not
live a hundred miles from Tulsa who

Audience Startled.
The audience that almost crowded
the church auditorium was startled
by the announcement that each month
more than five thousand prostitutes
met death by suicide. He then said
It was a duty imposed upon the white
slave" agents to fill the vacancies thus
created. Five thousand innocent girls
must be found each month to flll the
places made vacant by those who take
their own LIE.
Yesterday afternoon the Reverend
Belts delivered lecture TO women
and girls at the same church. sun
dav night he lectured at the First
Methodist church. Sunday afternoon
an exclusively male audience heard
him in the assembly room % the V.
VI. c. A. At the mems meeting he
told in q plain manner the work of
the white slave" agent. Without
mincng words he told Of tho dangers
to men who seek to satisfy their pas
sions by frequenting houses Of
PROSTITUTION.
