Women Know the Secret
Behind the Sob!
And the detectives who work with her find
her unusually impervious to the usual "sob
stuff" which pours into such an office, because
apparently she understands her own sex so
we'll that she is able instinctvely to distin-
lush tragic truth from maudlin appeal to SEN
timentality. "Sentiment in a District Attor-
ney would be Weakness" says Miss Mccormick
herself
And indeed sympathy and sentmentaity are
not to be contamination the sympathy and
understanding that only one woman can give
to another are but aids in the problems of
really constructive and lasting work, and in
crease the efficiency of the entire office.
The most vital problem that comes into Miss
McCormick's work is that of the child prosti-
tute-perhaps the greatest social problem in
New York City to-day.
"Does the public ever realize" says Miss
Mccormick, chat I have brought before me
constantly girls between the ages of fifteen
and sixteen who are the victims of men we
are prosecuting? Surely it is easier for these
poor children to take into their confidence
woman, to tell her of the inducements held out
to their vanity, than to tell their story to a
man!
"These unfortunate little girls come mostly
from the congested districts of the city Be-
cause of the lack of suitable recreational facil-
tiles they are forced to seek their pleasure in
places of doubtful standing, and they meet
there the men who are afterward responsible
for their DOWNFALL Not until such places arc
properly supervised, preferably by police
women, in such way that young children will
not be permitted to enter them, will this pro-
cession of unhappy youngsters cease to pour
into my office Their recreational needs while
they are growing to womanhood should be the
special charge of large and generous recrea-
tional institutions established in the city. II is
grave pity that such little girls should be
sacrificed to the lack of civic and social re-
sponsibilty of the community.
"Certainly it needs a woman to trace with
patience the reason in each separate case.

ITO my mind the lack of parental authority
on the part of our city fathers and mothers is
of the greatest Importance in accounting for
the conduct of these young girls. The latch
key is often extended to them before they are
mature enough to use it judicously. But it is
not only in the homes of the very poor that

putting more food into the stomach
Girls and women with sallow
skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid
complexion, also those who wake up
with a coated tongue, bad taste,
nasty breath. others who are both
cred with headaches, bilious spells,
acid stomach or constipation should
begin this phosphated hot water
drinking and are assured of very
pronounced resultsFin one or two
eekA
A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs very little at the
drug store, but is sufficient to dem
onstrate that just as soap and hot
water cleanses, purifies and freshens
the skin on the outside, so hot water
and limestone phosphate act on the
inside organs. We must always con-
slider that internal sanitation is vast
ly more important than outside
cleanliness, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their compilations should
just try this for a week and notice
results.

Hollands Reply Is on
Cables; Dutch Ships
to Be Taken at Once

Washington. March 20.-Holland's s
reply in the shipping negotiations is
on the cables, the government was
advised to-day and is expected to ar
rive before night.
The American government imme-
diately prepared to take over the
ships.
The nature of the reply was not
disclosed, pending the issuance of a
proclamation by President Wilson,
which had been prepared in advance
and was awaiting only news of the
conclusion of negotiations in Lon
don.
The American and British gov
ernments were ready to take over all
Dutch vessels in their waters Mon
day, but seizure was delayed here
pending word that The Netherlands
government had acceded to their
demands.
Seizure was delayed chiefly be-
cause of a desire to show every cour-
tesy to the Dutch government, but
it has been indicated for several days
that neither the United States nor
great Britain would go through an
other long series of negotiations.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Re-
stores It's Natural Color and
Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tea, with sulphur and alco-
hol added, will turn gray, streaked
and faded hair beautifully dark and
luXuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to
get the ready-to-use preparation i'm
proved by the addition of other In.
gradients, a large bottle, at little
cost, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray faded hair is not sin
full, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, no one can tell, because 1t
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared. After another applica-
ton or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luXuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.

BY dSSocintcd PrcsS

Moscow, Tuesday, March 19.-Rus-
sia's relations with the Entente are
unchanged, NJ. Tchitcherin, the Boil
shevk Foreign Minister, declared in
an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent to-day. More
friendly relations were being estab-
lished with the United States. he
added. and he commented upon Presi-
dent Wilson's message to Russia as
showing that America would not take
aggressive action against her.
Leon TrotZky and other Bolshevik
leaders are quoted here as denying
rumors that a large number of Aus
tro-German prisoners have been
armed by the Bolsheviki at Irkutsk,
Chita and other Siberian cities, as
we'll as in European Russia. The an
nouncement that the United State is
sending a mission to investigate the
reports of the arming of prisoners is
hailed with enthusiasm by the gov

does not intend to form a coalition
with the other Socialist parties, but
states that the vacancies in the gov
ernment caused by designations in
protest against the ratification of the
