demnation of Structure for
Experiment Purposes.

The report OF the agriculture ex-
perts on the Center Market will be
in the hands of the Secretary of Agri-
culture in a few days, il is believed
at the Agriculture Department. Two
experts have been working in the
market for several weeks on a sur

used by the commission which will
condemn the property for the use by
the Government.
The commission probably will be
named by the President in a few

the taking over of the Center Mar
ket, three commissioners will be ap-
pointed by the President, only one
of whom shall be a resident OF the
District of Columbia. They have SIX
months in which to complete their

1t is not the intention to discon-
tinue the market, but IL will be run
under the supervision of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and il is hoped
to make it the model market house
for the country.

us. PORT FOR
|M|SS|NGURCED
PoIicewoman Asks Mothers to
Back Move for Bureau
to Find Lost Girls.

A movement to establish a port
of missing persons" in the Depart
ment of Justice has received the
approval of Attorney General Daugh-
erty, Lieut.. Nina Van Wrinkle, head
Of the District of Columbia police
women's bureau, announced to the
convention of the National Congress
of Mothers and Parent Teachers
Association now in session here.
SOLID SUPPORT URGED.
"If the women Of the country will
get in back of us, we can secure a
congressional appropriation to create
this new department which would be
a central bureau to locate missing
persons" said Lieut.. Van Wrinkle.
"Such a bureau would save hun
dreds of girls each year from prosti-
tuion and white slavery. There would
be no more mysteries like tho
Dorothy Arnold case"
There are $4,000 persons missing in
the United States without a clue to
their fate. Mrs. Van Wrinkle declared.
"Our policewomen's bureau here
has located 1873 missing girls within
the last year." she said. 1--WE now
have some girls, who ran away from
home and refuse to disclose their
identity. Los Angeles reports the
disappearance Of 500 girls within the
last year.
CLAIMS LOCATION EASY.
"If there was a central bureau for
missing persons maintained by the
government in the Department Of
Justice every one of these girls could
be located. Any time a girl or an
adult disappeared all the local police
need do would be to report II to this
central bureau and send a photograph.
II we had such bureau now we
could identify the girls we are de-
tanning here and who refuse to give
their real names.
1T Is vitality important that Con-
gress should provide for the creation
Of such a bureau. We need 1t 10
save our girls"
Lieutenant Van Wrinkle also made
plea for a living wage for. po-
licemen"
CITES TEMPTATIONS.
Like bank clerks they are beset
by temptations on every side" she
said. "Give them enough wages to
save them from corruption"
Age of consent laws for boys un-
der eighteen as well as girls to
protect them from THE wiles of older
women" were urged by DR.. Valcria
Parker, head of the social hygiene
committee of the League OF Women
Voters. '-.-
DR.. Parker declared that in many
cities vice places closed during the
war have reopened and called on the
convention to work for 1.-The single
standard of morality"

LIMITED. HEARINGS FAVORED.
Legislation looking to a merger Of
the two traction companies, expan-
sion of the school system, workmen's
compensation and other measures
vital to the progress of the District
at this time will be best served by
limited hearings, the committee de-
cided. Chairman Focht pointed out
that any hearings granted on this
legislation will serve only to hamper
and delay passage of the bill.
After some discussion the commit
tee instructed the chairman by
unanimous vote to compel all wit
nesses appearing before the commit
tee or subcommittee to give their tes-
timony under oath. Assignment of
members of the District committee to

ters, Woodruff, Millsbaugh, Keller,
Woods, Blanton and Hammer.

Lampert. Scroul, Woods. Hammer and
kunz.
REPORTS CONFERENCE.
Chairman Focht. reported that he
had conference yesterday with
Senator Jones in an effort to fix
date for hearing on the marine in
surance bill. Several members OF
the committee declared that the need
Of such a bill was almost universally
recognized and urged the measure be
reported without hearing.
Congressman Fitzgerald announced
that hearings on the workmen's COM
pensation bill would begin May 5.
Congressman Zihlman announced that
he would call a meeting of the mer-
ger committee at an early date.
Congressman Walters asked Chair.

as possible, in order that comprehen-
sive school legislation may be draft
ed and pushed to early enactment.

1.-The children spend all their money
on sodas, candy, movies and the like
said Mrs. Arthur q Watkins. national
executive secretary. There is no
reason why children should run to
the corner store every time they
get a penny. They simply just ruin
their teeth and also turn out to be
extravagant
1.-The children should not be blamed:
the responsibility rests entirely on
the parents. II they will give them
good talk on useful spending Of
all those pennies. the little ones
would be entirely different" con-
tinued Mrs. Watkins.
THRIFT PLAN REVEALED.
The Mothers Congress has a thrift
plan whereby the parent allows the
child a certain weekly allowance. The
child is entrusted to buy all its school
supplies, hair ribbons, and little mis-
cellaneous articles. And, most OF all,
the child is taught how to spend.
"You can't blame the little things
for spending all their pennies on
trash, II they have never been taught
any better" said Mrs. watkins. "And
Ave years old is not too young to be-
gin. have watched the children
crowd the stores for candy and snow
balls and wondered where their par
ents were.
after all, don't know but what IL
wouldn't be a better plan to teach the
parents"
