WASHINGTON, July 16.-Im-
morality among men and boys has
decreased since the last generation;
among women and girls it has in
creased.
Girls now take the initiative in
promoting sex affairs.
They are driven nowadays by a
complex that makes them parade
their sex.
The automobile--in itself a per-.
feetly harmless pleasure vehichle-
has been responsible for much Of
this.
Liquor and indecent dancing also
play great part.
These are the observations of
Lieutenant Nina C. Van Wrinkle. Of
the washington police force, presi-
dent of the international Associa-
ton Of Policewomen, on the much
discussed younger generation.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle gives ignorance
as the chief cause for immortality,
and education as it's best PREVENT
tive.
The young girls of today have
liberty such as young girls have
never before enjoyed" she said.
They are virtually unrestrained.
"At the same time, they are who'll
ly uneducated regarding sex.
GAS a result, their natural i'm
pulse is to exhibit their sex--parade
it. They do this by their scanty
costumes, by their actions, in hun
dred ways.
School teachers tell me constant
ly OF the advances made by the girls
to the boys in their classes.
Almost any day you can see
girls picking up boys on the streets
"The girls ! am speaking Of are
of the so-called better class, whose
families have money and social po-
sition
eff they could be made to realize
that their actions are purely animal
like, prompted by animal instinct,
they would be ashamed to act as
they do.
"Boys and men, as a whole, have
higher moral standards today than
in the past. That is the result of
their greater education in sex mat
tiers.
"In criticising the morals of the
present younger generation. we
must remember the number Of temp
tations thrown in its path.
"For one thing, the automobile
furnishes a perfect means Of get
! ting away from parental and police
supervision.
! "Visit roof garden or cabaret.
There you will see boys and girls
drinking, and dancing in way to
arouse thoroughly all their sex inn
pulses.
"By the time the dance is over,
many of the girls, as well as the
BOYS. are drunk.
"Then you will see them in their
automobiles, driving out into the
country where there will be no in
corruption to anything they mayvdo.
Hundred of cars may be seen
every night carrying boy sand girls
into Maryland and Virginia after
dances in Washington.
CAT the other side ot the coul-
try-just to show this condition is
not local--the city or San Diego
stationed an officer at the Mexican
border to turn bac kmincrs headed
late at night for Tia Juana.
@In one year he stopped and
turned back 1000 boys and girls,
all under age.
81 don't mean to say that all the
young people who drive out into the
country after dances nave Illicit re-
lations. But the conditions for
such relations are IDEAL. the temp
tation is there-and you can esti-
mate for yourself the percentage
able to withstand TIE temptation
over any period OF time.
Suppression AMI regulation can
do M good. Co-ooaration between
noilce parents and teachers to get
at the root Of the trouble BY intelli-
gent instruction and guidance IS the
only effective mesAoi for checking
immortality.
~ believe we win conc to this,
and also believe that conditions
gre hound to crow sseadily better"
