PARENTS OF LOST " CHILDREN BLAMED Fail to Show Concern When Youngsters Are Missing, . Says Lieut. Van Winkle. Childish expeditions in search of an elusive Santa Claus are cited by Lieut. Mina Van Winkle, chief of the Women's Bureau, as being largely responsible for the unusual number of children lost #nd found on Washington streats during | | the excm‘men( of the Christmas period. n Winkle said it was surpris- | ing Dow Indifferent many parents ap- peared over di sapp earance of their chil- dren. | “I usually can tell just the sort of | thomes these children come from when they are brought to the Detention House,” Mrs. Van Winkle said. “When they ‘appear satisfieg and show no anxiety over the fatt that they are lost, I know there is much to be de- sired in the home and parents they have left. If they h'x\r- 1' ft good par- ents and a nice hame, they do not rest or be Comolcd unsil th'w have found fMamma.' Parents Fail to Notify Police. Among children who wandered from | home the week I) fore Christmas, Mrs. Van Winkle sa t of Santa Claus \(a< returned to his par- | ents after having been gone practically | ®il the night, to find the parents up ‘worried about the disappearance. The mother and father were maki mr‘ leisure- Iy preparations to look for hi ¥ s strange how much s llf confi- dence these clnldren have,” Mrs. Van ‘Winkle continued. “One little boy from Georgetown had been given some money. ‘With the desire of seeing Santa Claus and the Christmas shops, he took a street car and went as far as Dupont Circle, where he was found later by a member of the police force and subse- quently returned to his home. The child cr‘Jld not have been more than 3 years old “In this particular case the mother was | found to be quite distracted from worry. However, she had not notified police. I wish to stress the importance of all | persons interested in finding or locat- ing children or others of concern to them reporting immediately to the po- lice. The lapse of even a few minutes may be the cause of avoidable mis- fortune to children who have strayed from their homes. At the same time it saves pnrmts needless anxiety, as with early reports the ploice can’ aid more effectively in locating missing persons.” Many serious conditions in homes and even the apprehension of criminals are frequently discovered by police- vomen through-the innocent prammg ()f lost children. A recent case was cited by Mrs. Van Winkle. A little colored boy was found wandering aimlessly on the streets. Brought to the Detention Hggse the following conversation en- su “What is your name, son?” “Johnny,” came the answer. :_Johnm" what?” :What s 3our mother’s name?” thre does she live?” Occoquan,” came the prompt and Imubnshed answer, “Where is your !ather’ he was asked, and what does he do?" His name's pnpa and he sells boot- feg,” was the repl Upon imesngaz jon, it was -discovered that the child’s ‘mothér was in the workhouse and that the father was a bootlegger doing an active holiday business.

It is one of the chief missions of the policewomen to investigate the cases of lost children and the social welfare side of their cases is one of our greatest concerns. Many of these children who have wandered away in search of Santa Claus would never have done so had there been the %lighbest interest shown them in their homes. “Even when they are missing at their meammes thc parents do not worry, and hours will elapse before the tllghtest attempt is made to find this little mem- ber of the family who, perhaps feeling he is not wanted, goes in search of the Santa Claus who brings happiness to little boys and g rls. 15-SHIP BILL HURTS PACT, IN BELIEF OF RABBI WISE| American Hebrew Leader Sails for Home Today After Zionist Meeting in Berlin.
