THE URGENT PROBLEM.

The Chicago underworld that rather definite area
Of vice and soddenness Of sin and crime of the out
cast and the defiant is ruled by girls who aver
age but 70 years of age.
That is change from the old days of 20 years
when women who found themselves in this
same slum were hardened and steeled by years of
derravity.
In that day the young girl who entered this life
was the exception and only force kidnapping or
some private tragedy led them to these haunts Of
the vicious
The Illinois vice commission, in making its report
states that 70 per of the underworld are girls
who come from the country and gives the average
age at IS
If that statement be true it is time to inquire
what causes led these girls from the sheltered and
quiet existence of rural life to this short cut to
destruction
The coming Of the automobile and the telephone
Of good roads and picture shows radio and rural
mails, should have changed country life that the
old monotony which the dread of the ambitious
and the youthful seeker Of adventure would be ban
ished.
It might be readily understood 25 years ago. that
girls, would be attracted from the places where
nothing eve- happened, from life that was filled with
real labor to the bright and reckoning life Of the
city.
But that day has rassed schools in the country
vie in efficiency with those of the larger cities.
Very little of the rural district is now more than
half hour away from the center of some city either
Ford larger car.
And yet Chicago finds that 20 per cent Of the girls
who form its chief problem of girls who are running
heir lives and who become menace to society
come from the country.
There might be some reason in believing that the
modern city girl early acquainted with the dangers
used TO the Of city life and its pitfalls is less
easily victim of those who lead her into hayward
paths
The great restraint upon human conduct the good
opinion of others is stiu powerful in city life The
apartment house does seem to have ended the
spirit of neighborliness. The congestion of the city
street has abolished that REGARD for what other
people think.
1t is a rather pitiful picture which this resort
presents. and most alarming one.
1t Is not probable that the remedy or the explana
ton will be found by delving into dense district
to which this flotsam of life is tossed by crcur.

Those who solve it will go out into the country

find out what is there arousing the spirit Of unrest

eruptions. This plant. which bears
the scientific name of Abrus precdtorius,
is native of Cuba. II bears no flowers,
and consists merely of long stalk from
which branch numerous twigs containing
rows of delicate looking leaves. The leaves
frequently change color or close, while the
twigs bend themselves into curious posi-
tions
1t Is declared that this plant is highly
sensitive to electric and magnetic in
fiuences, and that by being able to inter.

family. Like the camel, this plant finds a
way to store up water against the day of
need. The rainy season is short in the
deserts, and occurs only once a year. So
that the plant may obtain enough moisture
for the dry season It is provided with a
reservoir.
The organ in which the water Is stored is
at the base of the stem and is covered with
waterproof envelope through which the
water can neither escape nor evaporate
During the autumn and early winter sew
eral years ago men might have been seen in
the streets selling an odd little plant which
they called the resurrection plant" Many
and wonderful were the tales told of the
plant by these itinerant statesmen to per-
suade their prospective customers to buy
Most of them either stated directly or else
led their hearers to infer that the plants
came only from the Holy Land, where they
were emblematical OF the Resurrection.
Most of them, however, we're Polypodium
incdrnium, the commonest OF all the ferns
of Florida.
During the dry season the plant curls up
into small ball and has the appearance
of being dead. In this condition 1t will bear
transportation well. When placed In bowl
containing little water its leaves will un-
fold and assume bright green color, MAX
ing pretty and ornamental plant.
