Mr.. Scott said home crafts should be
taught to girls and that they should be
taken young before their habits are
formed, and learn wholesome work and
recreation. He added that he knew one
girl OF 13 who was surfeited with
films, and that the reason children went
to the motion picture theaters SO much
was because they had nothing else to
do. He didn't object to the films. but
he did hold that parents should give
more attention to the habits already
forming in their children.
Miss Ferris warned the one hundred
executives attending the conference that
it was useless to try to rubber stamp the
next generation.
Girls wouldn't get homesick for
Broadway IL you knew how to interest
them. in outdoor pleasures" said Miss
Ferris. NO one has shown them how
to have a good time, except by rushing
madly from one place to another. Social
workers should be young. Older persons
do not attract, understand and appeal
to girls as younger ones do. When there
is any question about improper dancing
get the girls themselves to take charge
of the matter. That's where the remedy
lies. They will be much more strict
than the older generation"
After the conference the executives
had tea at the house OF Mrs. Oliver

When the modern girl is criticized
for her preference for the movies and

and stepping, In a general way, on the
accelerator of all present day pastimes
and fads, the retort truthful--if not al
together ccurteous--is to say It isn't
really her fault, but that the parents
are to blame.
That responsibility of parents was a
point made by Lester T.. Scott. national
executive Of the Camp Fire Girls. which
opened yesterday at the Russell Sage
Foundation, 130 East Twenty-second
street, a weeks conference Of executives
from all parts OF the country. Miss
Helen Ferris, an executive and formerly
vocational director OF q large depart
ment store, also laid the blame at the
parental door and emphasized the neces-
slty OF getting young women to direct
the recreation of girls on the ground
that youth attracts and understands
youth.
1--WE are faced again and again with
the despairing cry, What are the girls
OF to-day coming to-? and What is the
matter with the modern girl?" said Mr..
Scott There is but one answer. There
is nothing the matter with the modern
girl, but there are great many things

The modern life OF the adolescent
girl and boy is not essentially interest
ing. The previous generation had farm,
work and houseworle to supply the in
lsrest. or at least TO use UP much OF
the emotional energy OF the young folk,
But what interest can the growing girl
nave IN the daily tasks, which are all
TOO few, now presented by modern con-
gested life?
Her amusements are none OF her
own creating and her emotions and en-
joyments are almost entirely vicarious.
She lives at a tremendous rate of speed
She crowds into twenty minutes those
emotions which should take her years
TO accumulate.

HELPING OTHERS HELPS YOU
Anatomists tell us that So muscles

if not practically, it should be easier to
smile than to f own, and when we frown
we work overtime, so to speak. This

fused or failed to redeem. and | am una

plants from companies in the States con-
corning the numerous C.. O. u. parcels
which are returned as abandoned, un-
claimed, or refused. The Post Office
Department has received complaints and
has referred these complaints to me.
Much to my personal regret | have been
forced to say that as far as this office Is
concerned, it is observed that c.. O. n
business is confined largely to people who
do not appear to appreciate its functions
or advantages. 1t was not agreeable to me
to say this, but it was my evident duty
to have the situation understood. Some
time has elapsed since tins matter was
fOrcibly brought to attention, but little
or no improvement has been noticed.

PLEADS FOR WORLD
EXTENSION OF Y.W.C.A.
Unsettled Conditions Create Mem
bership Demand, Says Miss
Spencer.

Miss Clarissa Spencer. who served
sixteen years as executive secretary
for the world committee OF the Y. w.
c. A., was in Washington yesterday
for special conference on member
ship. She feels that this matter is at
a more or less critical stage all over
the world owing to unsettled condi-
tions.
There are 100000 members in the
forty countries which have Y. W. C.
A. units, and there are national COM
mittees in eighteen of these countries.
The United States has nearly half of
the total membership. Great Britain is
second with a fast increasing men,
bcrship. Oo.her countries having large
enrollments are Norway. $4,000: Dem
mark. $4,000: Germany, 10000, and
France. 10000.
Among the principal topics dis
cussed at these closed sessions Of the
afternoon and evening meetings Of
several hundred Of the board members
and the committee of volunteer
workers of the Y. W. C. A. was the
ship in China. where the local asso-
citation is paying the expenses OF Miss
Florence Brown. in charge of some
of the work. The way in which the
association may cooperate gi.h or
ganizations interested in world dis
armament was also discussed. Miss
Spencer led in this discussion with a
statement concerning the resolution
taken by the world committee. which
has its headquarters in London, to
adopt an amendment to the commit
tees constitution.
This amendment has primarily to
do with the promotion of Christian
principles Of national and intern;t.
tional conduct. and the development
,, of the right public conscience to worI,
for the avoidance Of further war and
the promotion of peace and better
understanding between nations, said
Miss Spencer.

WOULD SUPPRESS
RAILWAY BUS LINE
Conrad Syme Says Street
Car Companies Will Hinder
Motor Service.

An effective and useful motor bus
service will be greatly hindered II the
street railways are also permitted to
operate bus lines, Conrad H. syme.
attorney for the Washington Rapid
Transit Company, stated today in dis
cussing the decision of the Public
Utilities Commission yesterday on
motor bus development Mr.. Syme's
statement follows:
Il have not had the opportunity to
read the observations of the Public
Utilities Commission on the general
question of the extent to which mo-
tor busses should be permitted in the
District of Columbia my only infor-
nation being what has been printed in
the daily press.
II have no doubt the commission has
approached consideration of this
problem with desire to see that the
public interest is conserved in the
best possible way that can legally
be adopted. OF course. opinions may
honestly differ as to the best method
of accomplishing. the most good to
the public in the matter of public ur-
ban transportation. This is a Ques-
and l have no doubt will be worked
out in a satisfactory way.
Cleveland Park Situation.
ly complete study of the whole situa-
ton. is that the public will be best
served by the development of pub
lie motor bus company whose lines
can be extended as rapidly as may be
to those portions of the city having
Inadequate street car facilities and to
those having mono at all. and. "f
course. such a line and it's feeders
would have to carry the passengers to
the business sections of the city.
Il have the utmost respect for the
opinion of those who may differ with
me as to this policy. 1t seems to be
certain, however. that an effective
and useful motor bus service will be
greatly hindered If the street rail-
ways are to be permitted to operate
bus lines. as such competition would
shut off the expansion of
various places where it is most nee
essary that it should go.
"The situation in Cleveland Park
is very typical of the condition that
would be created by this character
of street railway competition with
bus service.
"Of course. the exceedingly inter-
esting legal question is presented as
to the corporate rights of the street
railway to run busses at all. and it
may well be that final determination
of this matter will rest in the courts.
My own Judgment is that the courts
will hold that such power does not
exist.
81 do not believe either that Con-
gress will grant the street railway
company the right to run motor
busses. My observation is that the
average member Of Congress is pretty
we'll disgusted with both of the street
railway systems. and I believe will
favor a public motor bus system
which will give the transportation in
the sections that need it. which street
railway companies have heretofore
failed or refused to give and will not
look with approval upon street rail-
way interference, directly or indirect
ly, in the development Of this general
motor bus system"

Herman stated that she did not know
the woman. but that she had fre-

Mrs Tiernan said she had been
"tr:oked" and double crossed in
agreeing not to contest the divorce
action. She said the divorce agree
ment entered into with the professor
was but 4 means of satisfying pub

time they had planned to remarry

She also asserted that Tiernan
agreed to ask for custody of the
children. and that after the decree
was granted he would allow her to
retain the two daughters. Mary anu
Irene. She declared last night that
she would refuse to turn the children
over to him.
Mrs. Tiernan said she had hired
a detective to trace Mr. Tiernan.
