THE GIRL PROBLEM
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

What are we doing for the girls of Bir- mingham? has been asked as a match question to the article published several ham," And it would be interesting to tel i'll detail how much is being done for the girl is in no way neglected. as far as the dependent and delnquent girl is concerned, but there is one other phase of work that we are doing little about, and it is a dangerous one, indeed
 Such cases as the two that have re- gently come under our notice in the daily papers, the cases of the 1S-year-old high school girl, Marian Lambert, and the lit tie 15-year-old girl of Fort Worth, Tex, Elizabeth Harrison, make us pause and consider. You are apt to say, it is too bad, but that couldn't be my daughter And why not? Both of these cases are the tragedies of mere tables, as far as age and experience goes. Ever since the world began women have loved not wisely but too well. Brutes have existed to de- coy the innocent child. Faithless men have kissed and soied the cheek of youth
 What, then, makes the childish horror of these children's stories more awful than the other tragedies that have hap pened before? This, that there is some sinister force underlying the lives of the innocent youth of the century. One great evil and real fact it is, is that the young under the present "hurry-up system de- velops too soon, and youth is satated with the pleasures of youth before it is able to reach the age of maturity and discretion
 certain writer in speaking of this subject, so strongly states: Tt is because we feed the imagination of children con- tinually on thoughts of love and passion through the cheap novel and the moving picture drama"
 Perhaps these things do have their ef- fleets, it is certainly true that we say There are no more children and that the little girl of very tender age is as much concerned over her frock as the older sister. Surely we must recognize the heart breaking army of little girls of the street, little painted creatures, with their feet already so dragging" unde- veloped mentally and physically but oh, so knowing and so worldly wise. There are two great reasons for these awful crying crimes of crimes. First, the world problem that is based in the economic struggle and secondly, the crime of al-

MUCH INTEREST IN
 HARDING MEETING

People all over the state, and in fact throughout the south, are keenly interested in the coming of w. P. G. Harding to Birmingham Friday and the address which he will deliver" said w.. D. Nesbitt yesterday. Tt is expected that MT. Harding will be able to give the people of the south some good advice and valuable information regarding the cotton situation. There are many phases of the question which must be met and the information of MT. Harding has will be of service to people in all lines of business.
 "The cotton export business is but i,- tie different now from what it was year ago. While American mills are using much cotton, there is still large amount on hand and with freight to Europe costing three cents per pound, and the added difficulty of getting cotton to many countries, we are again in danger of having too much cotton planted. There are also many matters relating to financ- ing the crop that MT. Harding will prob ably explain

Lansing Will Not Resign

Washington, March 7.-(Special) )-Pres- ident Wilson, insisting that German sub- marines must not fire on an armed mer- chantman of belligerent nation is SUD- ported by every member of the cabinet.
 And yet it is a matter of record that two weeks ago MT. Lansing attached this postscript to circular letter ad- dressed to the allied powers:
 T should add that my government is impressed with the reasonableness of the argument that a merchant vessel carry ing armament of any sort, in view of the character of subamrine warfare and the defensive weakness of undersea craft, should be held to be an auxiliary cruiser and so treated by neutral as well as a beligerent government, and is seriously considering advising it's off, cials accordingly
 However, the resignation of MT. Lan- sing is not anticipated

 Cured LaGrippe

Last winter I suffered with ter rible cold and case of la grippe" writes E. c. Rhodes of Middleton, Ga. "When getting well of Ia grippe still had a hacking cough and for several months could get no relief. Finally I began taking Foleys Honey and Tar and soon I was well of both cough and cold and it never re- turned"
 F. G. Prevo, Bedford, Ind, writes: After having an attack of la grippe it left me with a. severe cough and I tried everything. I lost in weight and got so thin it looked as though l would never get well. I tried Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and two bottles cured me. I am now we'll and back to normal weight"
 Foleys Honey and Tar Compound is a healing family remedy and seldom fails to relieve coughs, colds, croup. whooping cough, raw and unframed throat, tight and sore chest, irritat- ed tickling throat and bronchial coughs.

No Dried Fruit Imports

London, March 7.--Walter Runciman, president of the board of trade. in- formed questioners in the House of Commons today that the proclamation forbidding importation of canned or dried fruits would be issued in a few days He added that some restrictions probably would be placed on the inn portation of fresh fruit soon, in order to obtain more tonnage. The matter was still under consideration, but in any case it would not affect Jamaica bananas or other fruit mainly produced within the empire.

HEALTHFUL COMPETITION

Undoubtedly there will be competition of the kind which is healthful and real
 not cut-throat and destructive-between
 these corporations for business. All Of
 them are likely to gain all the business
 their expanded plants can handle. Some
 times those in touch with the United
 States Steel corporation management are
 unable to speak except with some mani
 festations of astonishment of the busi-
 ness this corporation is now doing and
 probably will continue to do, at least for two or threee years. The astonishment is caused by the comparison between the condition which represented the Steel corporations business a year ago and that which represents it's business at the present time.
 In January of last year, one at least and presumably number of those who are leaders in the financial district, shook their heads doubtfu1ly, almost de- spairingly, as they spoke of the unprece- denteGly small business of the Steel cor poration. Today the business is so great that were all the orders on hand to be reported it would be found that these exceed 8,000,O00 tons. The orders are so heavy that they now average about 20 tons each day above the shipments. Fur thermore, unless there come demoralizing changes, of which there is now no evi- dence, the corporation is likely to report on December 31 of this year net earnings
 of $2250OO,OO0 This will exceed by $25. .OOO, 600 the estimate of maximum possibilities Of earnings by the corporation which Charles Schwab was some years ago re- ported to have made.
 Marching not very far behind the United States Steel corporation will be found in all probability the corporati tion identified by Mr. Schwab's name and the corporation identified by William F. Corey's name. It will be not the least interesting of these developments that the first two presidents of the United States Steel corporation are now the ex- eoutive and controlling forces, one of the Bethlehem and the other of the Midvale company.

ital, the aggregate of which may be as much as s10O,O00,0O0 This investment is not made principally-and in the case of the United States Steel corporation not at all-because of the expectation of pro- longed war orders from Europe.

WIDOW LOSES SUIT
FOR SONS SALARY
Court Dismisses Case in Which
Mrs. Matte Manka Asks
$3.50 and Gun.
BEE AID STARTS THINGS

II you are the foster-parent of a
boy, you don't have to pay him for
eating the food you serve him, wear
ing the clothes you buy for him or
sleeping in the bed you provide for
him. Nor do you have to endow him
with gun just because he went hunt
ing once or twice with it.
These principles were established in
Wright county court. Iowa. Monday
morning when the case Of Mrs. Mat
tie Manka of Omaha was dismissed.
She was suing Thomas Gallagher of
Clarion, Ia, for $3.50 and a shot gun.
She had filed suit in behalf of her
minor son, who had lived for the last
two years with the Gallagher family.
The complainant demanded the $3.50
as wages for the chores her son did
around the Gallagher home.
Mother Advcrtises.
Attorney D. H, Sheehan, who rep
resented the defendant, replied in his
contemplation that Mr.. Gallagher
was induced by all ad in The Bee
to accept Mrs. Mankas son into his
home. In the newspaper, the lawyer
says. the boys mother wrote an ap-
peal for some charitable person to be-
come the foster-parcnt of her son,
whom, she represented, she was un-
able to support. Mr.. Gallagher con-
tends that the boy was sickly when
brought to his home, but that good
care, proper feeding and clothing and
a life in the open has nursed him
back to health, 1t was in the wish
to keep the boy in the fresh air that
Mr.. Gallagher loaned him his shot
gun and he argued that said loans do
not constitute ownership.

 Tt was amid such conditions, Mir. Chair man, that many grew up who are now adult illiterates. But conditions are changing, and changing rapidly. and those poor men and women are learning to read and write in those localities where Hitter acy so long prevailed.
 But, Mir. Chairman, ins<ead of that be- ing an argument against the illiteracy test in this bill, it seems to me that with the large number of illiterates whom we already have in our country we certainly do not want the millions of illiterates of other lands and other climes, to whom we owe no obligation, to come here for the purpose of adding to our Iliteracy and de- priving our people of an education.
