NEW YORK, June 28.-Officials OF

Girls That Disappear

The whole country has been shocked by the
startling disclosures made in New York in con-
nection with the finding of the body of Ruth
Cruger. The white slave problem and the ques-
tion of the disappearance of girls lured into the
walks of vice and shame have again come to the
front for discussion.
Mothers have a tremendous duty and obliga-
tion in the training of their daughters. We can
not conceive of mother who purposely would
permit her daughter to err. Some mothers con-
tribute to the downfall of their children by fail
ing to admonish and train them correctly. They
do not supervise the hours the daughters spend
away from home, and are willing to let them be
gone for hours after nightfall, seemingly without
concern as to the places they visit and the COM
pany they keep. Perhaps some mothers, and
fortunately only few belong to the class, areqto
be blamed more than their daughters. Most of
them do their full duty.

Funny Incidents and Re-

Lakes Recruit.

GREAT LAKES, ILL.,, June %. -
There are naval yarns to be spun and
nautical jokes to be cracked among
youthful tars at the Great Lakes
Naval Training Station here, but cir
culation by word of mouth-all right
perhaps for the narrow confines OF
man-o'war--is too slow in the midst
of hundreds of acres and 5000 men.
That is why The Great Lakes Re

flourishes as the purveyor Of all those
neat sayings of which exuberant
youths are guilty, but for which other
wise they would have only limited
audience.
Sketches illustrate many OF the
wheezes, and in recent issue OF the
Recruit, one shows a new man ad-

building labeled Radio Station" over

A Chance to Volunteer

Dispatches from Washington say that re-
sponses to the Presidents call for volunteers are
slow. Two reasons may be assigned First,
because many men of military age believe that
they will be called in due season; secondly, the
full extent of the war and of the sacrifices de-
manded are not understood and appreciated by
the American public.

onded by the press and by the recruiting serg

Young Quakers Off to the Front

Quaker church to train for hospital service, sug-

An old soldier Of the Civil war said the other
day that he preferred fighting in the front line
in his days to detail work in carrying the wound

there than where the action was hottest.

CRIMINALS FOND OF POETRY
Fact often Noticed Has Been Ex-
planned by Great French Lawyer
as Form of Egotism.

Criminals are nOtoriously fond of
poetry. That is what they read by
preference when serving time. And
they are fond of writing verses, gener-
ally of sentimental kind, often full
of self-pitying pathos, for real Grim
inals nearly always look upon their
deeds as the result of the force of cir
cumstances. Soleilland, the murderer,
called his crimes a misfortune. An
astay wrote: "YOu understand that 1
have been the plaything of circum-
stances" Vidal, the slayer of peasant
women, wrote that he was ''funda-
mentally good and incapable Of hurt
ing a fly"
Eugene Nolent, commenting on a re-
cent book by Raymond Hesse, the
French criminal lawyer, on the litera-
ture of criminals, says: ''This fond
ness of criminals for poetry may per-
haps be explained by the fact that
poetry enables one better than prose
to express the ardor Of his passions.
For that reason these works always
bear the imprint of the me- and follow
the authors sentiments with most rO-
mantle grandiloquence."

No lncumbrance.

A considerable cOmmingling of social
classes, writes a correspondent of
the Manchester Guardian, occurs in
our village, owing to the tOwnfOlks
practice of renting summer cottages
among us, and living therein in neigh
borly fashion with the working people
for whom the places were built. In
one such case the resident from town
was an unmarried lady; the genuine
cOttager next door had a husband who,
to put it mildly, was no blessing to her,
Making a friendly call one day, the
wife was greatly impressed by the
pleasant air of comfort and well-being
achieved in a cottage otherwise the
duplicate of her own. She looked
round with a mildly enviOus air and
with little sigh, earnestly remarked
''Oh, Miss X, you ought TO be 'ap
py-no 'usband nor nothin'."

Group Immodesty.

Why is it that men who individu-
ally are modest to the point of timid-
ity are the very opposite when they
get together?
The United States has a number of
militia regiments which have attached
the words battling" and fighting" to
their names. They did this before
they were much more than organized
and they have retained the words
though they have seen no fighting and
smelled only the powder of the tar
get ranges. There are clubs and as
sOciatiOns which gather, seemingly, for
no other purpose than to absorb fiat
terry. The sense of self-impOrtance
is nowhere so concentrated, so humOr-
ously tangible, as in the halls where
congresses and state legislatures con-
duct their affairs.
We suppose that our friends, the
psychologists, have a many-jOinted
word for this group immOdesty. But
we wonder if they have a cure for it.
1t appears to be increasing in our
country, and it would seem wise, II
there is remedy, to apply it speedily

DOES AWAY WITH INCENTIVE
Psychologist Explains How Strong
/ EmotionaIism Can Be a Fruitful
Source of Harm to Mankind.

When you launch yourself into an
entertaining magazine tale of achieve
ment you uncOnsciously translate your
self into the hero or heroine and zip!
you have burned up the materials of
personal incentive in one vast bonfire
of the emotions. That's the great
American ailment, according to DIR.
David Orr Edison, the psychologist.
Doctor Orr, following a meeting of
scientists in New York, explained Ger
man kultur as it differed from the
psychological attributes of other peo-
pies, especially Americans.
According to Doctor Orr the Ger
mans have, more nearly than any 9TH
er people, dispensed with their emo
tions. The ruthless reality with which
they have replaced their emotions is
what the world now knows as kultur.
And, according to Doctor Orr, it points
the direction in which the race is be-
ing hurled.
"AmOng students of mental phe-
nOmena emotions have long been
known to hold the greatest of all of
the destroying agents of heroic deeds
and, without doubt, physical achieve
ments as WELL" Doctor Orr said. "An-
ger, joy and pity, the goal of our ac-
tors and writer's, are the utter destruc-
tiOn of the psychic material which 9TH
erwise would find it's exit in deeds"

True Marriage.

Sympathy, reverence, intellectual
equality-these are the foundations of
marriage, as of the nObler and deeper
forms of friendship. Look back on our
friendship, and ask: Would it have
been what it is without the vivid SYM
pathy, which made us helpful to one
another? Would it have been what it
is if each had not found something in
the other which raised and exalted
him? If I had not found worth and
truthfulness and unselfishness in you
if you had not found in me (hOwever ]
myself fall short of it, a striving tC
hold up to you the ideal of worth, of
devotion to truth, of faith in truth
And remember, friendship such as this
merges in marriage-it is meet and
right that il is so. But the marriage
must give you in the wife all--ay, il
may give a thOusandfold more than all
it takes away in the friend.-J. R
Green.
