The bunks of smok- ers awakened a youthful curios- ity, And the boys and girls stayed and smoked the pipes. That night marked the begin- ning of Mildred’s life in the dope dens. ‘Three years later a gir! with tired | eyes and a pale, haggard face, ap- pealed to police for protection, tell- ing them that her Chinese husband had threatened to kill her. Police of- ficlals notified the league. The girt was found to be a slave to morphine and a worshiper of opium fumes. She had sunk to the lowest in vice, ‘That girl was Mildred. In fear of the threat of her Chinese husband she told those from whom she sought protection of the vice and misery of the life she lived. And she | | | | told police and workers of the leauue | that all those boys and girls who had been her companions that night | U. S. Attorney Says He Will Schoenfeld of Standard Fur-| Seek.

WELFARE LEAGUE NEEDS CLOTHES TO KEEP POOR WARM Workers of the Social Welfare league have asked that people who poxsess underclothes they do not wear to dig ‘em out and let ‘em be distributed among those who have not enough clothing to keep them warm for the winter. Also, baby clothes of all kinds are wanted by a hundred needy moth- ers. Even pieces of cloth will be wel- come, for six women have donat- ed their services to the league and will make clothes for chil- dren, And an automobile for just an hour or two a week. The league wants to borrow one to carry bun. dies of clothing to Seattle's poor. That's all. Thank you.
