Picked Up BY Police

Seven colored inmates of the Ma
tional Training School for Girls, who,
with some so other girls. were guests
of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt at a
White House outing May is, were
back at their quarters today after q

Taking advantage of confusion Gre
ated by remoedling work being done
at the institution. the girls slipped
away about l am. yesterday snd
started up Reservoir road
They had not gone more than halt
a mile, however, before they were
seen by Policemen D. o. Fletcher and
E. J. Bell, who we're cruising In q
seventh precinct scout car. The Off,
GERS loaded the girls in the car and
took them to the police station, where
they were booked and sent to the

lost their zest for adventure wher
they were picked up and probably
would have decided to return to the
school. They seemed well satisfied
to be back. according to officials at
the institution.
