Nearly eight tons of human hair was eelzed last night by Deputy Sheriff Hen- ry Hamm in @ barn on Sixty-eighth Gtreet, Bay Ridge, on a writ obtained by the Anglo-South American Bank.

SAME REASON MEN DO, | SAYS CHICAGO JUDGE Chief of Court of Domestic Re- lations Gives Result of Test in 100 Cases. CHICAGO, March 21.—Judge Gem- miM, sitting in the Court of Domestic Relations, has issued a statement in which he says that, in his belief, girls generally go wrong for the same rea- gon that men go wrong, The Judge neglected, however, to etate his opinion of why men go wrong. “In the last 100 cases tried by me in the Court of Domestic Relations,” says he tn a report, “in which delinquent girls appeared, 75 per cent. of them were cases in which the girl involved had become a mother. The following 1s a summary of the records of these 190 cag “Wifty-one por cent. of the girls were domestics; 21 per cent, worked in fac- tories and otier manufacturing estab. lishmenta; 6 per cent. were saleswom- en; 45 per cent. of these girls gave aa for their downfall broken awe. ent. of the cases the were below $8 a week; in 483 per cent, the wages were $8 or above that: in 15 per cent, the wages were over $10 4 er cent, of these ere not lv- or were living or wore soparated, eld country | F ases oney or of the down fall, except from the nm many cages the home condit 2 80 Une attractive, due either to drink or shift- lessness of the parents, that the girls were indy to leave home, “Let some one inquire why so many men go Wrong and @ correct answer to that question will have answered t girl question also.” err | sot THE GIRL WHO WORKS AND WIN einininit: ielelet inlelnialeintnininininintalatetatatatedes Tenth Article of a Series.

In nearly all the letters which I have received on the subject of the girl who works and wins it is stated that there {fs no direct relation between the smallness of a girl's wages and her moral character. In other words, that if the $6-a-week girl deserts her com- tades in the ranks it is not because of the $6 a week, but for other unre- lated reasons. Also in practically all the letters from girls who have significant sentence: “When I was making $6 I realized the difficulties of making a living on such small sums and I saw that I had to ine crease my efficiency. So after work I got a bite to eat and went to night school.” Now why should it be necessary for the woman wage earner to go to night school to learn how to make a > living? Why is she not given that ey most essential form of education when she is a little child going to school? How has she benefited by years of compulsory education in childhood if she has not learned how to be a self-sustaining member of society? Perhaps the defects of our educational system may have quite as much to do with the vice problem as the low wages paid to women employees. It seems to me that what the girl facing the raw facts of life needs more than anything else fs manual and moral training. Manual training that she may be able to keep her body alive; moral training that she will know how to keep her soul alive. It is often urged that she should receive her moral training at home. Perhaps she should, but very often she doesn't, and since mental education is compelled by the State why should moral education be neglected?

I feel that I now receive a good salary for a woman but also remember a good salary is never received by any one unless fully earned.
