The wage Garner, as soon as he

pay the heavier consequences OF
this economic blindness.
So many, many girls do not
have any quarters where they
may entertain their girl and boy
friends. I am thinking now Of a
foreman carpenter employed by q
large industrial corporation. His
wages even In the old days were
sufficient to give his family a

wife had determined upon a
policy Of saving every penny they
could get for an Old age that

and became subordinated to the
primary object Of the parents ex-

and more money. The room which
might have served the daughters
az q living room or parlor was
rented to dodgers. Recently this
couple came to me with their fiji
teen-year-old daughter and asked
that she be placed in reform
