protecting girls in war time is the CO.

This was wildly illustrated in Atlanta,
Ga. where Miss Virginia Murray. a train

the civil and military police has resulted
in the opening Of house Of detention, the

county and city officials. assisted by q
committee of representative citizens
headed by Judge Nash Broyles Of the

plish this. Their work in turn 10 backed

In organizing this work Of the pro-
tective committee Miss Miner has en-
deavored wherever possible to work
through every existing agency rather
than create new organizations. Her
idea Is to stimulate the activities Of
local committees and help them in di-
recting the organization OF new work.
In some cities the work is undertaken
by q subcommittee appointed by the
local war camp community service. IN
others 1t 10 found wise that board
appointed by the mayor take charge.
and in some places the desired results
are best obtained by committees

The program in many cities includes
one or more Of the following methods:
The establishment of a protective bu-

a house of detention for girls, or
place where girls may be detained

ity. More than a million and a half
men are concentrated in about eighty
military camps in this country. Girls
often lose their heads in a whirl of
emotion brought about by these un-
usual conditions, and therein lies the
problem.
The most important work of the
committee Is to awaken communities to
the necessity of protecting girls and
to secure facilities for accomplishing
this Such facilities include the estab-
fishing of girls protective bureau
with woman protective officers to d.
rectly supervise this work in every
community adjacent to a camp, and
the establishment of houses of deten-
ton where young girls may escape Jail
environments while awaiting a trial or
other disposition.
"Seventy-five protective officers have
already been appointed SO far in camp
vicinities. They are usually given the
status of deputy sheriffs. and work in
close cooperation with the local. civil.
military and police authorities. Though
in some places they are given police
power, they exercise 1t only rarely;
their function is not to punish but to
protect. BY scouting and patrolling

Miss Miner spoke earnestly Of the
reasons which cause many Of the
young women and girls to seek the
neighborhood Of the camp. Some of
them are girls who come on promises
to marry. some are girls of low men,

who bring others in their train.

operation
In answer to q question as to plans
for definite farm and garden work for
women, Mrs. Mccormick said: Women
can do much in the way of farm work,
although labor readjustments must
come slowly in this country. Our
women are just beginning to realize
what is ahead of them. 1t has hereto
fore been considered that the indoors
alone was woman's province. 1t is now
being brought to their realization that
there is a big outdoor field that is
claiming their efforts.
There was an enormous amount OF
work done last year In the way OF in
dividual gardens. Some Of that effort
was wasted for the reason that 1t was
impossible to get some Of the crops
harvested and distributed. Now one Of
the 'don'ts' for this season should BE,

caused considerable encouragement.
There are two well known associa-
tions which are interesting themselves
in bringing about some practical So
luton of woman labor on farms. These
are the Woman's National Farm and
Garden Association and the Garden
Association. Other organizations are
interesting themselves in this matter
also. The Woman's Land Army OF
America. a national organization just
forming, will be an important factor.
Women's colleges are taking an active
part in this outdoor effort, and the

The farmer will be supplied with all
the labor that he must of necessity
have through the medium of public
farm labor employment offices. OF which
there are IS 900; labor exchanges, which
rural mail carriers who have been au-
thorized to act as agents for the fed
eral employment bureau. The Depart
ment of Agriculture also has 1000
agents Of its own to assist In this
work. These huge bands will be re-
tnforced by travelling examiners sent
out by the Department Of Labor. and
who. farmers will learn, are thoroughly
versed in matters pertaining to pecu-
liarities Of local conditions and who
are recognized experts along agricul-
tural lines.
Farmers will be entitled to whatever
service the department can. render

been worked out in detail and 10 1ar

cheney than that found in any other
country. Farmers located in the re-
hottest sections Of the country will be
reached. The department feels that 1t
cannot overemphasize the fact that
labor is available to meet every Farm
need.
Heretofore lack of facilities to bring
the farmer and farm laborers together
has been the supreme cause Of multi
plying difacslties. In case local labor
becomes really exhausted the depart
ment ENSURES an additional supply from
districts lying at a greater distance.
