MISSING PERSONS
 GENERALLY FOUND
Majority of Those Thought Lost
 Return to Their Homes

New York, Dec. 19.-More than 11,OO0 girls and women were reported missing during 1922 by police head quarters in 33 American cities, and approximately 300 of them had not been located by December 31st. These figures were gathered by the Nation al Association of Travellers Aid soci- cites of this city in an effort to es- timate the number and types of per- sons who drop out of sight each year. Reports from 37 cities, the associa- ton said, save total of 3l,63S men, women and children who disappear ed, about 2,500 of whom were not found,
 Seeking for people who disappear is part of Travellers Aid service which protects inexperienced travel CTS from harm by giving advice and help at railroad stations and steam ship piers, according to John R. shillady. general director of the na- tlonal association.
 Travellers Aid workers in 160 cit ies helped more than 100000 per sons last year." he said, saving thousands of girls from being lured off by designing individuals in crowd cd stations. The service helps all travellers, from mere information seekers to those in dire emergency. Police reports show that in New York city e,446 girls and women were reported missing in 1922, 1,652 of whom were girls under q years. Chicago recorded l,549; Los Angeles l,020: Philadelphia 1,0O6: St. Louis had 79S; San Francisco All and De- troit Sll. 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.
 Large as these figures are they rep- resent only about one-half of the &C., tual number of those who actually dropped out of sight at some time during the year, in the opinion of Captain John H. Ayers, chief Of the Bureau of Missing Persons. New York city.
 People often fail to report disap- bearing members of their family 10 us because they mistakenly fear we will bring publicity upon them, when that is the last thing we want 10 do," said Captain Ayres in a statement 10 the National Association. Many also drop out of sight who have no one sufficiently interested to make rec port. In our best judgment, we feel it is fair to double our actual figures, making total Of fS92 women and l girls in New York city, of whom B.. | 304 were under 2t years Of age. If the same ratio of disappearance holds | good for tho United States as applies l to New York city, then we can ar- rive by an arithmetical computation | at tho total for the United States, | which will approximate so,ooo girls who probably disappear annually.

CARLSBAD CAVE NATURAL

President Coolidge's Recent Procla' nation Preserves Another Fine

Washington, Dec. 19.-A palace of nature has been preserved by Presi- dent Coolidge's recent proclamation establishing the Carlsbad Cave Ma tional Monument, located 25 miles southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Its beauty reminds one of the illustra- tions of Doro in Dante's Inferno gov ernment experts who explored the cavern report. They travelled several miles through underground passages. no one of which was explored to its end. They descended vertically about 500 feet but the depth of the cave is unknown.
 So far as known no limestone cavern exists whose chambers ap- proach those of Carlsbad Cave. The internal decorations rival in variety, beauty and magnitude those of any cave heretofore described. The cham hers are of phenomenal size and the deposits of travertine so voluminous and varied in form as to be of unusual scientific as we'll as scenic interest.
 The new national monument com prises an area of 719 acres of land. The cave was discovered 22 years ago and was first known as Bat Cave" because it was the ha abitat of thou sands of bats which have largely been driven out.
