On the Of starting clean up Of Washington boot
egger the local police department will launch drive against
mashers who lure foolish girls into their cars for Joy
rides and who insult many other with invitations to
take rides with them
Between these two campaigns making war on parking
volaors in the restricted Of the city the Capital City
cops are going to have busy time.
As the mashers plan has been agreed upon and
there promise Of cooperation throughout the police depart
ment with the policemen leading One method to be
adopted will probably be attempt revoke the drivers
licenses of who found to be moestng on the
streets Washington asked take the auto mum.
bes Of Washers and report these with descriptions Of the &C.
Cupants to the woens bureau the police department
who thus pesered will aid the bureau there ought
to be beterment Of the trying conditions under which 50
many good women walk the streets Of Warrington especially
in the evening is crying shame that in this Capital City
of the nation the alone not safe from
these Washers the majority Of whom said by Police
Lieutenant Nina Van Wrinkle to be Of middle age with
fine looking cars and money to spend upon victims
fall for their wiles
The inside stories Of the police department are shocking
as to the Turing Of young girls for automobile rides the use
Of whsky and the dbauchery Of the thoughes butterflies
who are willing to with strange acquaintance
70 places they know not.
Leopold and Loeb the infamous Chicago murderers were
boys who used automobiles to ence girls for rides and then
subjected them to insults In several instances they put out
on lonely roads, far from their homes girls who had the
courage to resist their famiiarites
It's all well enough to place the blame on the silly women
who allow themselves be led into the traps that are set
Tor them, but it the plain duty Of the police Of Wash
ngon to protect thoughes females against these human
vures who take advantage Of their frightened victims when
they get them to remote places away from the city

refuse to pay any attention to them but they becoming

to attract their attention and who the contrary plainly
show resentment These thousands Of good should

habits and customs Of the Washers be broken up by
methods other than those heretofore employed
The weak in the successful prosecution has
nesses against them With the police prepared cooperate
in campaign based plans may have decrease
the activities Of class Of who anything but credit
to their city and who should be abhorred by all The
main thing according to policemen is for Washington
women to show more spunk and grit about Furnishing these
creatures.
Another helpful thing would be for redblooded men who do
not approve Of insulting women soundy thrash few Of
Washers detected in their Most that women

woman to do when she knows that any aggressive action Of
hers VIII bring notoriey or make scene The hard
knuces Of husky well laid the faces and bodies of
Washers will aid the police considerably.
