Starts Campaign for
Stringent Laws.

Launching campaign against
vice in the district. the Social Hy-
giene society of the district last
night presented resolutions asking
support of bills seeking to restrict
SUCH evils in the district, which
were unanimously passed. at a mass
meeting of approximately 400 citi-
zens of Washington at Rauscher's.

evils. Maj. Harry l.. Gessford. super :
intendent of police. told the assem-
blage. 1t was pointed out that the

the restriction of social vice than
any of the As states.

troll in the army and navy, Surgeon
Ireland and Admiral Stitt explained
the extreme measures adopted in the
service corps and pleaded for adop-
tion of more stringent legislation
in the district.

lack of restrictive measures. the
resolutions asked support of the bill
introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Ranker.
Other speakers included Mrs.
Scott Rafter. Miss Janet Richards.
