New Orloans-An organization in
svery town to cooperate with workers
In New Orleans Is the aim toward
which the Travellers Aid Society is
working this spring The number of
girls and old people and children who
face the dangers of the city unprotect-
cd. when a word from someone in
their home town might warn the
agents In the city to look after them
or stop them, has caused the society
| to take up the formation of auxiiaries
with especial earnestness this year
| Mrs. George Denegre, president of
the Travellers Aid Society in New Or
leans, has issued the following state
ment, addressed to thinking men and
women OF Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama and Texas"
1T is the desire of the Travellers
Aid Society to have organized in each
town a body of good men and women
willing to advise any girl coming TO
the city to work, to hide disgrace or
from restlessness, to assist in keeping
the last two classes at home, or il
their coming that we may take them
In charge. When girl wants work
they could let us know in advance
what she is capable of doing. We
will meet her when she arrives and
find safe place for her to stay; see
that she makes connections or that
she Is provided for comfortably and
safely.
1.-THE girls from the surrounding
towns and countries who come here,
and are particularly exposed to danger
are those who run away, those who
come with the consent of their par
ents with no money, and no safe
place to 30 while they search for
work, those untitled for any special
work particularly pretty ones) who
Inevitably drift to low class restau-
rants and cabarets. where they get
employment easily and without ques-
ton, and are of course in great dan
tell the truth about their age. and
when this is discovered are thrown
out Of work and left to drift, since the
law does not allow their employment;
those sixteen or seventeen who do not
look their age, and bring no proof of
1t. All these are good girls and could |
be saved.
III we are notified of these cases, or |
Of runaways, we can receive them at /
the Travellers Aid Home, and return I
them to their families.
Where they are competent to work |
The Y. w. c. A, the Catholic Won !
ans Club, and Catherine Club afford |
safe places for them to stay.
1T is not necessary if the funds do I
not allow 1t, to have an agent at the
depot, generally if the interest Of the
ticket agent can be aroused and he
can be induced to be a member. he
would be willing to warn the associa-
ton, of girls without baggage, or who
give some reason for suspicion when
they purchase tickets"

No Deficiency Irreparable.

Deficiencies are misfortunes. but
they are not irreparable. Demosthenes
was poor stammerer who wanted to
tcll the world the great thoughts strug-
cling within him. Instead of worry
ing about his weakness in speech he
began practices that would remedy the
evil. The world now calls him the
silver tongue Of Greece. At a local
debating club one night a certain
Young man was down for speech.
He rose TO his feet and became petri-
fled at the sound Of his own voice
saying, Mr. Chairman" The crowd
laughed and then began to taunt him.
Soon some one dubbed him "Orator

forgot where he was and gave the
fellow "a piece of his mind" The re-
suit was that he became one of the
best speakers the country has ever
produced
