ABSENCE OF HOME
TRAINING CAUSES
SIN, SAYsPR
Defines Reasons for De-
linquents to Big
Sisters.

Uncongenial surroundings at home
which lack means Of recreation or
even space enough to entertain %
sends the ''bdtterfiy type's OF girl
flying to the streets for entertain
ment. said Father. John M Cooper,
of Catholic University. in address,
ing Fridays meeting Of the Big
Sisters at the Christ Child head
quarters, 324 Indiana avenue.
Types of girls who need the as
sistance OF organizations like the
Big Sisters were defined as the
delinquent girl or the girl who has
been in the tolls Of the police; the
butterfly" who is pretty and q bit
gay and the strange girl, or the
girl who cuts adrift from home
ties to go into a strange city to
make her living, said Father
Cooper.
Reasons 0bvisas.
There are many reasons for the
gay butterfly to go fiittinE around
the streets, instead of remaining
home where she belongs" he said
In the first place, maybe she never
had a religious training. or perhaps
her surroundings at home are un-
congenial. The question that con-
fronts US Is to provide recreation
at home" r-
TT would be useless to attempt
to reform these girls WIN tears or
pity. The only way to reform them
Is by winning their confidence,
which must not be broken under
any circumstances. You can't re-
form Washington In seven days. and
the same holds true in the work
with girls"
Sisters Needed.
Father Cooper explained the need
for the Big Sisters in Washington
because of the number of out-of-
town girls who come here to work.
Other speakers were Monsignor c.
+. Thomas. rector of st. Patrick's
Church. who presided: Father Davey,
of Gonzaga College, and Father
John OGrady, Of Catholic Univer-
sity. y
The purpose of the organization Is
to Cooperate with the Juvenile and
women's courts and the women's
branch of the police department in
finding employment and spiritually
aiding unfortunate girls.
It was decided to hold a mem
bership drive, starting June 1, when
an attempt will be made to boost
the membership roll to 1000.

Harding Demands
States Raise Coin
For Road Upkeep

President Harding intends to halt
Federal appropriations for the aid
of States in highway construction
until the States provide adequate
means for the maintenance of the
roads constructed.
The executive is of the opinion
that the States should make vehicle
license fees sufficiently high to
cover the cost Of road maintenance.
and he is opposed to granting Fed
eral aid to States which fail to
make adequate provision for up
keep.
The Executive feels SO strongly
on the question that he probably
would veto any legislation which
fails to make road appropriations
conditional upon a proper discharge
of State obligations.
Roads have been built at vast
expense with Federal aid, but they
proved unequal to the wear of mo-
tor and truck traffic. The States
failed to maintain the highways in
repair and complete reconstruction
is now necessary.
