NEw YORK. Jan. Tho stock

period through the war during
which values were driven up 10 arm

The white slave problem is local
as we'll as international. For many
years New York City has been
known as the "Port of Missing
Girls" owing to the fact that an
average of several thousand per
year are lost there Some of these
are subsequently located but there
are many that are never heard of
again.
Recently two girls were arrested
in raid upon a resort in Philadel-
phia. They told a story of being
abducted during sightseeing tour
in New York City during which they
visited some chop suey restaurants in
chinatown" Their abductors were
walters in one of the restaurants,
who took them to Philadelphia.
According to evidence gathered, it
appears that this is a regular bust
ness of certain New York people who
supply girls not only to the larger
but to some of the smaller cities of
the country as well.

beginning comes when habits begin
to form. In fact the spelling of a
child is purely a matter of the for
nation of selfish habits.
Early infancy in the great habit
forming age; and the formation of
habits of selfishness at this time is
no more a sign of evil in the child's
nature than would be the forma-
ton of habits of fast eating or loud
talking in the natures of his elders.
We repeat those actions which
yield US satisfaction; and in this
way habits are formed. 1t is the
satisfaction, not the nature of the
child that determines what habits
shall be fixed. Grown-ups should
cease to lay upon him the stigma
Of an evil nature merely because he
has been allowed to form selfish
habits.
There is great responsibility
resting upon the parents to see that
such habits do not become fixed in
the lives of their children. Not only
the future happiness of the little
ones, but the interests of society, de-
mand that this parental obligation
be faithfully discharged It is in no
sense a matter of choice or prefer
ence on the part of parents.

Bad habits are hard to breai.;
but it is NOT hard to prevent their
formation. Nowhere is the ounce of
prevention more effective than here.
If parents, and especially mothers,
would adhere, strictly to the rule
THAT children should never in any
case be allowed to accomplish ends
that will yield them satisfaction or
pleasure by wrong or selfish means,
habits could not begin and so would
not be formed. Then the modern
plague of the spoiled child would
soon come to an end

The destruction OF Home Rule, like
the repeal Of the primaries. are (sic) the
monuments or reactionaryism Of the

Miller coalition candidates have no plat

competition with the large food stores
owned and controlled by the food barons,
the drive against him was started n the
hope of getting something on Mayor
Hylan to be used as campaign material
against him.
However, before we get through we
will fully expose the interests which ac-
tuate Senator Meyer and his Republican
colleagues in their present mud singing
crusade.
The Meyer committee has sought re-
peatedly to give the impression that
kept my report OF the army and navy
food sale secret" Commissioner Hirsh-
field also said. "This Is not the fact.
On the very same day that l submitted
my report to the Mayor / transmitted a
copy Of the report to the Board of Alder
men,"
New evidence dealing with alleged
grating and extortion in the admins
tration of the Washington Market is to
be presented wren the Meyer Committee
resumes its hearings in City Hall to-
morrow.
Commissioner Edwin ]. O'Malley of
the Department of Markets will be asked
TO take the witness stand II he wishes
TO do SO when the evidence Is all in the
record The understanding is that the
Commissioner will not be subpmnaed to
tunity to answer all charges made
against his department and it's en-
ployees.
Inquiry will be made also into the
charge brought out suddenly on Satur-
day by David Hirshfield, Commissioner
of Accounts, that the beef .barons" own
the meat dealers in Washington Market
and prescribe rules and practices for
their conduct.
Still another phase of the market sit
uation which remains to be investigated
is the conduct of some of the officials
who handled millions of dollars worth
of army food supplies at the close of
the war.
With the markets investigation out of
the way the committee will take up
next the office Of the Commissioner of
Accounts. That may not be reached
this week. One thing to be shown in
connection with Hirshfield's conduct of
that office is the great number of in
vestigations which have been made with
out anything resulting therefrom.
These endless inquiries are said to
have cost close TO 100000 while Hirsh-
field has been in office. Long and ex-
pensive Inquiries have been made, ac-
cording to the committees examiners,
big reports printed giving recommends
tions and that was all.
