HOME RECREATION URGED.
Catholic Minister Tells Why Girls
Seek Street Amusements.

'Uncongenial home surroundings,
lacking facilities for recreation or en-
tertainment. cause many butterfly
type girls to seek amusement on the
Streets" declared Rev. John NJ Cooper
of the Catholic University, addressing
a meeting of the Big Sisters in Christ
Child headquarters, 324 Indiana ave-
nue.. last night.
ihere are many reasons for the
gay butterfly to go fitting around
the streets instead of remaining where
she belongs he said. In the first
place, maybe she never had re-
ligious training, or perhaps her sur
roundings at home are unbearabIe
The question that confronts US is to
provide recreation at home
1T would be useless to attempt to
reform these girls with tears or pity.
The only way is to win their conf
dence, which must not be broker
under any circumstances You can
not reform Washington in seven days,
and the same holds true in the case
of girls.
Father Cooper explained the need
Of Big Sisters in Washington because
of the number of out-of-town girls
who seek employment here
Other speakers were Mgr. c. f.
Thomas, rector of st. Patrick's Church,
who presided; Father Davey of Con-
zaga College, and Father John OGrady
Of tho Catholic University
1t was decided to hold a member
ship drive, starting June l, when an
attempt will be made to boost the
membership roll of the Big Sisters
