Organized ChaperOndge .
Needed to Protect Girls,
Declares Pastors Wife

Organized chaperonsge for girls is
advocated by Mrs. David CovcIl, wife
OF the Rev. David r. CovelI, rector Of
Trinity Episcopal Church of this
city. Mrs. COveIl is on the staff of
the War Camp Community Service,
and is directress OF tho Prisoners Aid
for the diocese of Washington.
Mothers do not realize the great
dangers their daughters are running
into under the present system of limi-
ted chaperOnage for girls when they
attend dances and other social func-
tiOns, where they meet large num-
bers of strange men," said Mrs. CO.
veil. in addressing the District
Mothers and Parent-Teachers' Asso-
citation yesterday.
Not Enough CO-OPeration.
an my experience in social welfare
work, I have found that the great
reason for girls going wrong at the
alarming rate that exists today, is
to be found in the almost total lack
of intelligent cooperation between
the girl and her mother in regard
to the girls social activities. Mothers
The Washington times., 1919-04-16

do not go out enough with their
daughters to see properly that they
are meeting the right kind of COM
panions, both men and girls, and they
do not encourage the girls enough to
invite the young men to their own
homes instead of going out so much.
81 have found that even at the most
respectable sort OF dances, occasion
ally bad girls will slip in where the
number of chaperones present is not
adequate to keep the patronesses Of
the dance informed about all the girls
there.
Plan Organized System.
"The War Camp Community Serv-
ice is trying to solve this problem
by an organized system of Chaper-
ones, but we need the interested and
active help of all the mothers in
Washington. cannot emphasize
strongly enough the need for every
mother to take a live interest in her
own daughter. Surely 1t Is to the in
terest of every mother to go with her
daughter to dances, and moving pic
lures to find out exactly what the
girl is running into"

Real American Drama
Event of Near Future,
Declares David BeLdScO

Have you ever thought you'd like
to write the great American drama!
Well, here's your chance.
David BeIasco, master stage crafts
man, believes a new epoch is ap-
preaching in the theater-the era OF
American plays. OF America by Amer
icans-and he is searching for plots
OF this sort.
He contemplates a series OF plays,
showing the complete cycle from the
days Of the gold rush in '49 to the life
OF the War Capital OF 1919.
For years" he said last night dur

But there must be a limit So I gem

nnal judgment, and then I run away
from the play to keep from tearing it
to pieces"
Mr.. Belasco, it might be mentioned,
believes in the Washington audience
to such a degree that he has held
practically every one OF his metro
politan premiers here for thirty years
and more.

While he was talking Mr.. BeIasco

theater, with his hand literally on the /
pulse OF the play.

Apparently deeply interested in the

misquoted in the statement, and says,
America NUT either put these IL

FECkRAL. AID FOR
: LEXINGTON PIKE
yyrn he A.<ed-By Mszigon' Fiscal Court
and Entire II Miles TsRlvxr May
BE Built of Concrefs

Plans have been made BY, which the
Madison County Fiscal Court will ap-
DIV for state-aid in reconstruction Of
the Lexington pike to the river. It
is believed that the sum of 100000
can be secured from federal aid, and
this supplemented by 100000 will
provide sufficient funds to build the
entire Madison county portion of the
road out of concrete, undoubtedly the
best and most permanent roadway
mately IL miles of this road and it
is the most travelled road in the coun-
ty, and the court felt that it should be
built of permanent material through
the federal aid which can be secured
by the county on this road as an in
ter-county seat highway and part of
the Dixie Highway.
Other important road work is pro-
jected by the court, and plans are
now being pushed for use of tarvia
treatment on the seven pixies radiat-
out of Richmond.
The question of another vote on the
20-cents road tax question is being
agitated considerably by those who
would like TO see the tax voted so as
to provide what they believe will be
adeceuate funds to put all of the
county roads in first class shape. II
is said to be probable that another
election may be held later on in the
year to test the sentiment of the vot-
ers again on this question.
Plans for resurfacing the pike to
Berea are under way. Up at Berea
last week, private subscriptions
amounting to over $1,000 were raised
for this fund, to be used on the road
from Berea as far as Kingston
Berea College is said to have con-
tributed $500 to this fund.
