Alexandria. La, June !, 1918.
| As representatives of the Wal
Department Commission Oh Wa,
Gimp Community Work and
Girls Work, we wish to call the
attention of the people of you,
city to the grave dangers facing
women and girls who come here.
AS is always the case with can
comment towns, there has been a
hrge number Of girls and women
coming to Alexandria without
visible means of support. and who
Are compelled to meet situations
which are entirely new to them.
We should like to remind your
rtaders Of these four things:
The housing situation in this
clty is very congested one. The
s9st Of rooms is very high as is
&fso the price Of food. : esss.
2. There are practically no
opportunities for legitimate en-
ployment.
3. Girls and women who are
here without any visible means Of
support are arrested on a vag-
rancy charge and sentenced TO
from 10 to 30 days in the, city
Jail.
4. Under Ordinance 2O4 sus-
picious women are confined for 30
days in the city Jail.
IA large number of foolish and
vicious women have come to Alex
andria from the various towns in |
your state and doubtless some |
from your own town. We wish |
to warn mothers of the impro-
priety and danger Of permitting !
young girls to travel alone to a
city. May we not
to the parents that even
though they have every confidence
in their daughters, they should
not allow them to be exposed to
The pitfalls and temptations with
which they are sure to come in
contact when they visit Alexan-
1ria without a chaperon.
We should like to remind your
readers that we stand ready to
cooperate with them in any way
md if any Of them come to Alex
lndria to visit their boys, we hope
hey will apply to the Informa-

Bishop Hendrix Speaks.

Junaluska, N. c., June 29.-Absolute
prohibition during the war and the dc
mobilization of the army afterward
was advocated today by the confer
ence of Methodist leaders of the United
States and Canada, meeting here to
formulate plans for reorganization of
the world By unanimous vote, the

luton:
"We hereby petition the congress of
the United States to pass speedily such
legislation as will absolutely prohibit
the manufacture and sale of all kinds
of intoxicants for beverage purposes
including beer and wine, during the
tion afterward."
The conference placed itself on
record also as opposing exemption of
beer and light wines in administrative
orders as an unnecessary and danger
Gus weakening of the standard set by

Today's sessions will bring the con-
ference to a close. Bishop E. r. Hen

Washington, June 29-Charges that
periodical publishers have made gross
misstatements of facts in their prop
aganda against the second class zon-
ing law and that these untruths have
been the basis of most Of the letters
of protest received by Senators and
representatives were made by Chair
man Kitchin, of the house ways and
means committee, today.
Kitchin's charges were vigorously
denied by Charles Johnson Post, di-
rector of the publishers advisory
board who appeared before the com
mittee in opposition to the postal zon-
Ing system.
"Well, either you Intentionally
falsified the facts or you were ex
cited" Kitchin responded. 81 will be
generous enough to believe that you
were excited"
Post believed that even 1rst-class
matter should be carried at less than
cost.
1.-The natural trend Of the times" he
said 'is toward a postal service that
is absolutely free. We shall not live
to see it. perhaps, but ultimately there
will be no charge for postal service,
just as there now is no charge for
