had not tho slightest ection with
white slavery in any form. And

THAT fact has been pretty well
established" Miss Miner conceded.
but there are nevertheless Instances
OF great ~depravtty. My suggestion OF
a Protective Bureau attached 20 tho
Police Department Ii based on a be-
lief in the value OF preventive work
among girls. So many girls err
through improper home conditions,
through the cruelty or folly Of par

done to set them in the right direc-
