1900 Women Reported
As Missing During 1923

is part of Travellers Aid service
which protects inexperienced travellers
from harm by giving advice and help
at railroad stations and steamship
piers, according to John r. Shillady,
general director of the National assO-
citation,
Works in 1860 Cities.
Travellers. Aid workers in 160 cities
helped more than 100000 persons
last year." he said, saving thousands
of girls from being lured off by de-
signing individuals in crowded sta
tions. The service helped all travel
ers, from mere Information seekers to
those in dire emergency"
Police reports show that in New
York city, 2,446 girls and women were
reported missing in 1922, 1862 Of
whom were girls under twentyOne
years. Chicago recorded 1,549; Los
Angeles, 1920; Philadelphia. 1905 !;
st. Louis haC 79S; San Francisco AL,
and Detroit, 81. About 92 per cent
Of the missing were finally located
dead or alive-but the records show
that many had undergone experiences
worse than death. =

Capt. John H. Ayers. chief of the bu-
Of ,YiiS
city.
Fail to Report Dsappearances.
"People often fail to report disap-
pearing members of their family to
us because they mistakenly fear we
will bring publicity upon them, when
that is the last thing we want to do"
said Captain Ayers In a statement to
the National association.
MANY also drop out of sight who
have no one sufficiently interested to
make report In our best judgment.
we feel it fair to double actual fig
ures, making a total. of 1892 women
and girls in New York city, of whom,
3 ,304 were under twenty-one ye5rs of
age, If the same ratio, Of disappear
ance holds good for-the United States
as applies to New York city, then we
can arrive by ap arithmetioaf com

ing efficiency. In the main, the motor
car predicting companies are financing
from their own resources the greatest
volume Of business In their history,
and, in spite of this, are carrying cash
balances larger than ever before.
Another favorable feature of the
current situation is the strong position
of the dealer branch of the industry.
Notwithstanding the record-breaking
volume of business placed by the deal
ers with the manufacturers during the
last ten months, stocks of new cars in
retail merchandising channels are rela-
lively small. This means that the deal
ers will have to place substantial or
ders for spring models during the next
four months. The used-car situation,
though still unfavorabIe, gives evil
dence of readjusting itself on better
basis. Used car losses suffered by
dealers during the third quarter of
1923 amounted to $5,G54,O 900, according
to the National Automobile Dealers
association, a reduction of 1874 per
cent as compared with the second
quarter. This indicates that the deal
ers are less disposed to make unrea-
sonably high allowances on trade-ins.
On October 1 last dealers had stock

The president promptly indited a
message of thanks and appreciation
to Detroit, while the sending of the
telegram was admitted at the White
House 1T was stated that it could
be made public by Mr. Ford.
Actually the White House has been
aware of the'decision Of the automo-
bile manufacturer for a week, it was
probably disclosed to the president by
Mr.. Ford when he visited him, but no
public notice could be taken of it un-
til the public announcement came
from Detroit. At tEat time Burt Ca
dy, chairman of the Republican state
committee, pointed out that the call
ing off of the third party convention
that was to have met in Detroit to
nominate Ford, meant that the latter
would withdraw in favor of Mr.. Cool

Now, the Democrats say, they will

Ford would gather a bunch OF con-

SPRING CARE OF WOOLENs

In putting garments away for the summer, insects is not the only dan ger 10 guard against. There are tho wrinkles, tho fading and stretching to consider. To avoid wrinkles, gar ments shoAld be folded as far as pos sible. in the creases into which they naturally fall when worn and care should be taken that no keight rests upon folded garments. Fading may be obviated by keeping garments away from the light. Some house. wives prefer to put garments on hangers. which Is q good plan with heavy or firm fabrics, but very light materials sor heavily trimmed gar ments ara likely to be stretched out of shape. If hung they shoul be put into bags that will guard against dust and insects.
 Some women prefer to keep furs and garments hanging where they can be frequently examined. While this may be . preventative against dust Is detrimental, especially to furs, which become faded and dull looking.
 Only recently woman denounced tar bags because she had carefully tied her fur coat into a tar bag "ac- cording to directions given" and when she took 1t out she found "handfuls of fur in bottom of bag" VI Soui 30 eiic lduiL was ner own.
 Cedar chests, tar bags, camphor moth balls and so on will all keep out the millers that lay the eggs, but If they have deposited the eggs before the article Is put away no in sect repellent in tho world can keep these from matching. Therefore be- fort putting away any furs or wool en article 1t must be brushed and thoroughly shaken out of doors and preferably in the sun. then should be immediately and carefully wrapped. Spots should be removed and the in- side of pockets well brushed.
 Moths have a strong aversion to newspapers. 50 1t Is obvious why newspaper wrappings are recom- mended. One housewife who has never found moth hole in any thing" merely sprinkles cloves among the blankets and garments and wraps each one separately in news papers.

They never lack J fascinating companion because they have only to say to themselves, Do you remember?" and all the magic of far places rises up before their eyes Once, in crossing the ocean, I met on the steamer a plain and shabby little woman who was vitaly inter- ested in every detail of the ship. She told me that she was a little button hole maker in cloak factory and that she sat all day long facing a dead wall working buttonholes, week after week, and year after year, un- til she felt that the monotony of it would drive her mad. So she had taken every dollar of her savings and made this trip to Europe She was going back tC her buttonhole mak- ing. but she said she would not mind now.
 She wouldn't see tho buttonholes She wouldn't see the blank wall. She would be seeing the glitter of Paris streets and the glory of cathedrals and the beauty of Italian lakes. She d never bore herself again as long as she lived.
 Another insurance against boring yourself Is tG' cultivate fad. Get interested in something outside of yourself. You can thrill over postage stamps, and get excited over old prints, and find an interest that never pals in first editions, or some particular breed of china, and spend many happy hour cantering along on your he bby.
 Do anything-that will give you resources within yourself so that you will not be afraid to be left to the tender mercies of your own society. For the great trouble with people who bore themselvs is that they bore other people also.
 The people who are always lone some and who depend upon others to entertain them are public nuisances. Don't be one of them. Try chum- ming up with yourself You may find your own society more diverting than you thought it would be.

Sure Way to Get
 Rid Of Bluckheads

There is one simple, safe and sure way that never fails to get rid of blackheads. that is to dissolve them.
 To do this get two ounces of calonite powder from any drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot. wet cloth-rub over the blackheads briskly-wash the parts and you will be surprised how the black heads have disappeared. Big blackheads. little blackheads, no matter where they are, simply dissolve and disappear. Black heads are mixture of dust and dirt and secretions that form in the pores of the skin. The calonite powder and the water dissolve the blackheads so they wash right out, leaving the pores free and clean and in their natural condition.- Adv.
