Home WORRIES BLAMED
FOR GIRLS DOWNFALLS
Speaker at Catholic Charities Meeting
Points Road to Ruin.

Moral laxity on the part Of many girls
is due TO modern economic and COM
nrunity conditions that prevent the work
ing class family from maintaining an
adequate home, according to Mrs. Leon
ora Meder, former social welfare commits
sioner of Chicago, in an address before
the opening session yesterday of the
women's section OF the National Confer
ence Of Catholic Charities, which will be
formally opened this morning with SOL
emn high mass in the Franciscan Church.
Lack OF home training. Mrs. Meder said,
was largely responsible for the increas-
ing prevalence of delinquency among
young women of the less prosperous
ma sses. This deficiency was linked, in
her talk. with the prevailing lack, in CEN
ters of population, Of proper housing
facilities at reasonable cost, where a fam
ily might be reared, safely protected from
the communicating influences of the
streets and the reprehensible amusements
that beckon there.
Miss Margaret n. Reynolds, of Phila-
delphia, strongly advocated the estab-
lishment in all cities Of departments of
the Juvenile courts for the purpose OF
dealing exclusively with the erring girl
Mrs. Meder will preside at a meeting
of the women's section at 2:so o'clock this
afternoon, and the first general session
Of the conference will be held in Mcmahon
Hall at 8 o'clock tonight, with Mrs. s.
K. Wilson, president of the Catholic
Women's League of Chicago, in the chair.

ernor of Kentucky; Louis Budenze, Of
the German Catholic Central Verein, and
Rt. Rev. Mons. Thomas, OF Baltimore,
will read papers relating to relief work.
With $50 or more notables from all parts
Of the country in attendance, the fourth
biennial conference will open with the

Johnston. a prosperous dentist, with an
office at West Fortieth street, this city,
is back in his country home, in Furnace
Woods road, Peekskill, after a week s
disappearance, during which he was
mourned as dead.
DR.. Johnston hired a bathing suit at
a house in Asbyry Park, N. J., last Sum

That night, after every other bather
was accounted for, his clothing was found
in the compartment he had taken.

ed. and arranged with Harry Bodine, an
Asbury Park undertaken, to offer a re-
