words, the description is flashed to ey-

is on.
Ruth Cruger, pretty high school girl,
was sought by the police. Leaving her
home, happy and contented, she was
swallowed up in the swirl of the great
city and no clews to her whereabouts
had been unearthed. Because her fam

fathers insistence the case was widely
discussed and given much publicity,
but the case of Ruth Cruger was only
one Of hundreds.
Every year there are $500 missing
persons in New York, according to po-
lice estimates. Most of the missing
persons are girls-pretty, happy girls,
youthful and Of good home training.
They are swallowed in the highways
and byways of the mammoth city.
Most Of them never return, and the
public hears Of the disappearance of
but very few.
