merous and varied" said
thc director of the Woman's Police
Bureau. We have these duties
chartcd under the following di-
visions: street duty; dance hall,
cafe, cafe dansant and restaurant
duty; motion picture, burlesaue
show, and theater duty; and duties
at skating Kinks and similar places
OF commercialized recreation.
I'm street patrol duty" explained
Mrs. Van Wrinkle. the officers keep
under close observation certain dis
tricts and parks, the railroad sta
tons and other busy places, and are
constantly on the lookout for girls
who pick up men acquaintance.
They OFFER advice to these girls, es-
cort them home, or have the parents
send for them, and whenever 1t is
possible work in close cooperation
with the parents in safeguarding
the moral welfare of such girls.
Street patrol duties include the
apprehension of runaway girls and
the quest for missing girls. We
have had remarkable success in this
work. The records show that more
than 40 Of such girls were located
in the past year. But we have con-
siderable difficulty in the search
for missing girls because parents
frequently report them missing and
do not let the police know when
they have returned TO their homes.
Many girls reported missing are
those who have eloped and have
married. We have spent much time
and met with considerable success
in having runaway girls located in
other parts of the country and re
turned TO the District.
Need Exchange Bureau.
II believe that there should be
some agency. preferably in tho De-
partment of Justice at Washington.
that might serve as an exchange
bureau Of missing persons, and
where all Information on this sub
ject might be reported and made
useful for police departments-and
agencies engaged in child-caring
work. Through such medium
many more girls would be saved
from lives of shame and parents
from much sorrow.
while on duty in dance halls.
continued Mrs. Van Wrinkle, we
look for conditions that make for
delinquency and vice: enforce the
regulation stipulating the age OF
admission: stop indecent dancing
and 'spooning;' see to IL that the
msttons are active and efhcient.
and insist that the halls be well
lighted and ventilated.
There Is no more excuse Tor
poorly lighted dance halls. with
dark corners, than there was for
the vulgar moonlight dancing that
healthy public sentiment put stop
to. From the. beginning we have
insisted that public dancing must
be modest and that the surround
ings must be wholesome and free
from any tendency to sensuslity.
You can imagine how pleased We
are to find now that the best
women OF the country have unani-
mously decided that the vulgar
dance must go, and that the grace
ful. artistic dance must prevail
There Is considerable work in
the moving picture and theater
field. We make a critical review or
the exhibition itself with view
to stopping any Indecent or dan
gcrous picture or performance. We
seek to prevent immoral 'solicita-
ton in the audience and We eE-
