Why Girls Become Down and Outs.

Why Girls Become Down and Outs.
Miss Minor of New York investiga-
ted the Night Courts, where thousands
of girls are tried and sentenced be-
tween dark and dawn, and she found
that two-thirds of these girls are in the
courts for one of three reasons:
1. Lack of employment or low
wages. A girl finds herself in the
wrong situation; she does not fit in,
is inefficient, not up to the job, or she
meets prejudice. Millions of girls Are
poured out into communities every
year without enough training to do
anything well. The girl becomes dis
couraged Somebody must make that
thing loom up large enough in the
girls mind to make her feel worth
while.
2. Recreation. Everybody needs
friends, social life. A girls home is
small, no parlor, crowded out. Where
she goes to seek recreation decides
her life; she has no place to meet
group of happy friends.
8. Bad companionship. In its ef-
fort to keep the soldier fit, the Gov
ernment called in the Y. w. c. A. to

ored girls, and then it was decided to
go slowly and try out each step. The
war swept aside this cautious move
and 100000 was appropriated last
year; 100000 is to be expended this
year on the Colored work. Before the
war we had nine secretaries and 16
centers. Now we have 13 National
secretaries and ITO secretaries in To-
cal work in more than 40 cities. Vita
the Central Association, the most pop
ular thing is TO have as quickly as pos
sible a center for Colored girls. The
Association cannot say it is meeting
the needs of all the girls unless it is
serving the needs of the Colored girls.
We have tested out just what pre-
ventive work does to protect and de-
velor Colored girls that they may
take their place N the industrial
world. War work centers are now
asking to be made regular Y. w. c. A.
centers.

The explanation given for the strike

NEW SCHOOLS PLANNED
Education Board Takes Steps te
Relieve Crowded Conditions

Although it is announced that little
can be done to relieve the congested
condition of the public schools this
year, the Board of Education is plan
ming to begin construction of new
buildings and additions that will be
completed at least by the second term
next year.
One new school will be erected at
Ninth street and Oregon avenuea and
another will be built at Seventieth
street and Elmwood avenue.
All the members of the board realize
the necessity for increased school ia :
cilities and are eager that additional
buildings be erected. War conditions
and the high cost of materials and
labor. as we'll as lack of funds. have
prevented enlarging buildings for this
wear.

VARE VOTE ruling
|SEXPECTED TODAY
Registration Board Will Decide
in Favor Of Senator, Accord
ing to Indications 1
HOLD EXECUTIVE SESSION

The board of registration commis-
sioners will decide today whether Sem
ator Ware has a voting residence in the
fifteenth division of the Thirty ninth
ward.
Indications are that the .board, by
majority vote. will decide in favor OF
the senator. In support Of this belief
it is pointed out that the board had
failed to accede to the request of Owen
J. Roberts, counsel for the petitioner
against the senator. that an inspector
be sent to the Ware house at 200a
South Broad street, to report as to the
condition of the interior Of the "home."
Mr.. Roberts, in making this request
ut the hearing yesterday, said he be-
lieved an inspector would find the Ware
house in no sense a "home'; that he
would find no evidence of fire in the
kitchen range; no coal in the cellar;
no gas; no electricity and no water.
1t was learned today that the COM
missioners, following the hearing yes
terday, went into executive session. One
of those acquainted with the situation
said it was plain that the board was
all one way" in its view of the merits
of the case.
Later it was learned that it would
be we'll within the facts to predict
majority of the board would vote to
! dismiss the petition to have the name
of Senator Ware stricken from the voting
| lists.
1t was announced today the board
will hold final conference on the sub
ject, and, after formal vote, hand
down a decision. Lawyers are awaiting
with interest the legal points which
may be offered to sustain the senator's
right to vote from the Third ninth
ward
