Bristol. Sept 2G.-"Why Girl. i Leave Home" was the subject o , discussion at police headquarter, this morning. The problem present. ed itself to local authorities wher Mary Komagno and Anna Tinnarl 10, both deinure misses of l6. were picked up at the local passenger sta tion shortly after o'clock this morning by Detective Sergean, Daniel McGillicuhdy who had been assigned to the case by Chief Ernest T. Beiden following d communjca- ton from the police at Portland Me.
 According to the story told by the girls, they departed from their homes early last Sunday morning. arriving fin this city the following day. While they made no definite statement as to where they stayed on Sunday and Monday nights, it was learned that they had register ed at local hotel last evening When apprehended this morning, they had tickets for Hartford and apparently had decided to change their locale because the search for them was proving too warm.
 It is the belief of the authorities that the girls knowing that many of their acquaintances had come to Bristol and secured employment in the local factories, decided that they also would spend the winter in this city. They failed to consider the fact, however, that their parents would worry about them to the extent that they would seek police assistance in ascertaining their whereabouts
 Police in Portland were notified this morning that the girls were be- ing held here and arrangements have been made to send an officer to this city to escort the runavays to their respective homes.
