RUTH. RUNAWAY AT II, sUCCUNBs TO ALL
MENT OF ALL NORMAL GIRLS; WANTING
TO BE SEEN
BY WINONA WILCOX

BY WINONA WILCOX
Ruth Lewis, II years old, Of Hugo,
Okla, has run away from home four
times. She wants to be a movie
queen. She says her home is happy
but it isn't getting her anywhere in
her career.
Probably Ruth's researches in
modern literature have not yet led
her very deep into the study of
suffrage theories. The economical
independence Of woman with ca
reer has no lure for Ruth. It doesn't
really attract many women.
What gets" Ruthie is glamor-
just as it is getting hundreds of other
girls who are older than she is.
Ruth wants to be seen. So does
the greater part of the youngish fe-
male population. Now that this con-
tagion has attacked a little 11-year-
old in Oklahoma, it probably has
completed conquest of the country.
Fortunately, few mothers find the
disease affecting primary school
girls, but few escape the ordeal in the
high school period.
Then mothers suddenly discover
the symptoms-the lip stick, the
rouge pot and an absorbing interest
in the shape, size and color Of shoes,
These things are as catching as
the measles and not so easily cured.
They generally develop into a
chronic trouble extravaganza. And
a few. years later, an unsuspecting
bridegroom will find himself in for
bills his salary was never intended to
cover.
Serious persons all over the land
are trying to stop this plague Of bold
and expensive dressing among school
girls. Some private academies limit
the. cost ola pupils wardrobe. Some
adopt a standardized costume, like

priseS have been called off by the
building trades section of the Ameri
can Federation Of Labor, it was an
nounced by Secretary Morrison. A
conference of representatives of build
ing trades heads and government rep

ton within few days, to go over the
situation. Pending the result of this
meeting orders have been sent TO the
presidents of locals to put their men
back TO work.
Would See Wilson on Strike.
The Building Trades council of the
American Federation of Labor sent a
message to President Wilson, asking
for twO-hours' conference TO discuss
the situation at Quincy, Mass. where
work is being held up on a destroyer
plant by a strike involving about l.
800 men. More than 5000 other work
men are said to be indirectly affected
by the trouble.
The Quincy strike involves the ques-
tlon of the open shop and settlement
there. It was said, would pave the way
to speedy adjustments elsewhere.

When the second days session Of
the federation convention was called

that President Gompers would deliver
his annual address, postponed from
Monday, but at noon the convention
adjourned. and President Gompers ad-
dress went over for another day.

was settled by making It possible TO
obtain by resolution the publication
of complete reports on any subject.
