Essex Did Not Need
Hudson $ Endorsement

Think of the advantages Essex has
had. What ordinarily would have re-
CURED years to perfect was made pos
sible in the very first model.
That is why 10000 are now running,
why more than $4,000, 100000 was paid
for Essex cars in ten months.
: You have not needed the Hudson
endorsement to understand Essex
performance.
Essex has won its own way Hudson
gave it full benefit Of the experience of
its engineers and the ability Of its
manufacturing organization. It's name
was not needed.
Now Hudson takes the same pride in
acknowledging its kinship to Essex that
father might in speaking of his son
who on his own account had made good.

Il Plea For Our Girls
BY DR.. VIM. A. McKeevor,

q KTY-EIGHT thousand girls
y and young women dropped out
of sight during the past year,
according to a reliable source of
information-over 5000 per month,
nearly 200 per day. Imagine this
vast company OF bright young lives
passing in front OF you innocently
and many of them laughingly, yet
toward certaip disaster. How hor-
rifying!
No, these girls are not nearly all
dead. Some OF them are conceiv-
ably all right and doing very well.
But 1t may be said that fully 80
per cent of them went to disaster
of some kind, and that. perhaps,
half of them are now living a life
of wretchedness. What is the rem
edy? Not more legislation. more
prosecution or more policing will
be necessary to stop the awful
slaughter of the bodies and souls of
this unfortunate class OF our girls,
but nationwide movement OF
home education of municipal safe
guarding and of common defense.
Break girl in just once and
she is ours" is said to be the motto
of the underworld. I. therefore,
appeal to church organizations,
Y. w. c. AS and all other welfare
workers to try to place before COM
mon parents everywhere BRIEF
statement OF the manner in which
the devils agents lure girls away.
Specify briefly just how the FIRST
false step" is conspired at and how
to safeguard against It.
Who is this young man who Is
taking your girl out to the picture
show and the public dance? What
Is his business? What of his fam
lily? what Is his motive? Look
him in the eye when he calls, re-
mind him OF your concern about
your daughter and caution her to
watch him cautiously till he proves
his trustworthincss. This elimi-
mates the possible offender of one
class.
There are few hotels and room
ing houses where mo questions
are asked" when young couples come
in for the night An honest city
government can soon locate these
and drive them out OF business.
Demand n cleanup here.
There are few cabdrivers who
didn't know either OF the parties"
The Washington times., 1920-02-11

as they testify, after having by
prearrangement conveyed girl and
her new-found friend" to one of
these rooming houses. The city au-
thorities, before licensing any cab
driver, should subject the candidate
to most critical examination as
to his moral integrity. The right
method will force him to reveal his
place in society.
The girl who disappears is prac-
tically always a member OF a fam
lily OF little means and influence.
The devils who snare the innocent
here study their business precisely
as the animal trapper must do.
They study fthe habits and general
behavior of their intended victim.
Sometimes a wretch in the disguise
of worthy citizen will secure
employment in the neighborhood
OF an intended dupe and gradually
develop relation OF friendship
with her. Later she falls in love"
and runs away" with the rascal
who betrays her.
At practically every railway sta.
tion in the big cities there Is 6
matron to watch for straying girls
and save them from n possible i'll
fate. The Travellers Aid Society is
especially alert here. But these
welfare workers certainly need tho
personal assistance OF the well.
meaning travelling public and OF
every good citizen as well.
Let us all determine during this
year 1920 to help save another
