THE RUNAWAY GIRL

Out of every 100 girls who disappear from thciv
homes only two found This has Just been
deduced from police records.
The statement may sound encouraging to people in
to whose ears the story Of the disappearing girl is perss-
tently dnned But though it is good know that only
two ont of every hundred traced. there
ground for relaxation in the vigilance with which the
young girl should be guarded The statistics offered are
merfully silent the stories Of many of girls who
are discovered Any parent who is tempted point

those lost girl bunk should consider
whether his own daughter may be of the

In Speaking OF the lost girl question. experienced
woman. aid to New 1orks commander OF the Bureau of
Missing Persons makes these suggestions
Girl run away because they like excitement. They
like lurid movies and rides dancing and pretty
clothes If they denied real pleasure home they
seek false joys abroad and then the trouble begins We
need brothers who will out with their sisters without
feeling like martyrs.
The cure for runaway girls certainly sounds simple:
but then, all truth is simple. Whether it be runaway

give them wholesome fun and plenty of it.

PUBLIC WELFARE

This is the golden age of the rooming house keeper
Driven to 1t by the scarcity of houses. more and more
families have been forced seek shelter under the roofs
of others.
Census supervisors declare that the population of
many cities will show surprising increases comparison
to the gain in number Of houses.
The cost of living has played its part this condition
ny causing many persons to open their houses
as an additional source OF revenue.
This isn't healthy normal condition of affairs
produces ovecrowdn" discomfort and reduced stand
ards of living. Two families i'll house can't be
dependent and happy two families in two houses
People aren't cheerful when their home conditions
are unsatisfactory. Workers aren't cOntcned under
favorable conditions of employment when they can t find
the kind of homes they desire.
1t is condition which calls for immediate govern
nent consideration is of the many things
which are calling. but unheard by congress. The
matter Of homes highly important part of the question
of public welfare And public welfare should be the
l,rpmc law.
Congress should follow Canada example at once
and provide system Of on9m government loans for
the building of houses.
Home-owners stable and contcntcd citizens.

though the commission here to study methods with

schools work and conclusions hold much material for
serious thought for educational leaders here home

is the fact that in the United States the modern school
building is model of beauty and efficiency, while the
teaching force is sadly neglected. ndeIpaid,

such elaborate tools and little emphasis upon skilled
men and women to them!
lin China said one of the commission, 1.-The school
teacher is regarded the most valuable to the
munty and is given credit for being the intelligent
and patriotic of its citizens In the United States the
pubic school teacher is paid much lower than the
skilled workman. In China he is taken of with a.
wage that is higher
OF course, modern education methods are newer IN
China than in this country Yet is that really reson

COTTON MARKETS
Cables Mixed, But Domestic
Markets Improve After
Spell of Business Early.
Thursday Afternoon. Jan. 1s.

#h0A aAt1g <ANNAlAN1AAq oNAA
Developments today in the cotton
market did not afford either side with
any great amount Of satisfaction. How
ever, after a rather poor start and some
decline a recovery set in and the early
afternoon prices were nearly 100 points
higher than the lowest points Of the
forenoon, the rise seeming to have been
caused more by short covering than
anything else.
News on the whole was favorable to
the constructive side. From Great Brit
ain came advices telling of the govern
ment terms having been accepted by
the railroad workers, thereby obviating
a strike, which naturally helped the
bullish feeling. From the continent
came advices that the German situation
was no worse and apparently the gov
eminent was holding the radicals in
check.
One basis early for the disposition to
expect lower prices was anticipation Of
higher discount rates. but II developed
later that the federal reserve board met
only Tor routine matters and took no
action on rates, which relieved tension
somewhat and perhaps contributed to

later on. However, there continues to
be no weakness in the financial situa-
uon and the apparent policy of the re-
serve board officials is to discourage
speculative activity.
The exports for the day were fairly
large and for the week they exceed
100000 bales, with the prospects for
them to be large for some time. Ex-
porters are still buying raw material and
New Orleans advices said that the Japs
bought a big line of hedged cotton there
yesterday after hours. Other reports
done by some of the Southern mills, in
GLIDING some grades as low as good
ordinary. Such reports naturally stiff
ened the holders and caused them to
refuse concessions. The prospects were
also for bullish weekly statistics tomor-
row, which helped in the covering move
ment In the latter part of the session.
Weather conditions in the belt are
fairly good right now, but fear of un-
settlement within the next day or so
attracted attention, for some sections
are complaining of how little winter
farm work has been done.

then gradually improved, with much

rise became sufficient to attract much
notice, March going to $500 and then

CHICAGO, Jan. l5.-Announeement
that 40 per cent Of the grain cars sent

was the reverse. Opening prices which
