MISSING GIRLS.
Two hundred and twenty-eight
girls disappeared in Los Angeles in
1919, according to records of the
police department recently made
public. Officers believe some will
be found, but that the majority
never will be. This belief has crys
talized in an effort to establish a
ureau of Missing Girls, with a num
ber of policewomen detailed to do
nothing but search for the missing.
Leo Marden, police sergeant, who
prepared the report, said nine out
of ten of the missing girls were of
the “butterfly” or “rattle-brained"
type, “crazy for the attention of
men.”
Judge Sidney Reeve, of the ju
venile court, said many girls ran
away from home because of lack of
parental control. He said:
“The modern home seems to be
lax in the control of children. The
good old days when girls were not
allowed out without a chaperone
seem to be gone. Parents of today j
are so engrossed in the rush of j
modern life that they have not the ;
time nor the inclination to provide I
the proper home entertainment for j
their children. And the result? j
They do not realize their mistake j
until a daughter disappears, perhaps ]
never to be found.”
Sergeant Marden added:
‘‘The motion pictures lure many:
Kiris from home. The girls seem to j
resent parental discipline and long j
for the glow and glamor of a film !
star. The film folks are working j
with us in preventing this evil and j
many a director has notified us of a !
runaway girl. Sometimes we get I
them before it is too late. Some- j
times not.”
Sergeant Marden said many of j
the girls were traced to Tiajuana1
and Mexicali, Lower California bor- j
der towns, where they were' in
“white slavery,” but few' would re-1
turn, because of dread of disgrace.
POOR ARMENIA.
Herbert Hoover’s statement that
conditions in the Near East this
winter are the most serious the
world has known is supported by a
letter received recently at San Fran
cisco from relief headquarters in
Armenia, calling on America to
“save the remnants of the Armenian
“This is the final struggle,” says
the letter, “to save a people that
has been fighting for life for many
centuries. If America will only
provide the food to support the sur
vivors of the Turk massacres thru
the present winter, these Armenians
will be able to rehabilitate them
selves with the spring crops.
“They have returned to their
homes from exile, and these -homes
are desolate and barren and ruined.
They are starving and dying of ex
posure, and unless America does
help them until -the fields are again
productive, 250,000 of them will
perish before summer.
“Five years ago the Armenians
were driven from their lands. Fami
lies were torn apart and the mem
bers of the household were scattered
to the corners of the Turkish do
minions or slaughtered. Many of
the men were drafted into the Turk
ish army, only to be disarmed and
murdered. Wbmen were placed in
harems and children were taken
into Turkish homes to be reared in
the Moslem faith.
“It is pitiable to see the refugees
returning. Gaunt, half-naked crea
tures, they swarm the streets, their
slaw-like hands delving into heaps of
refuse seeking something to eat.
They crowd stables and out-of-the
way corners for a place to sleep.
“Thousands of girls who have
been, imprisoned in Turkish houses
were set free by Allied orders and
are now hopelessly drifting, prey to
the brutal Turkish soldiers.”
WOOL GROWERS’ COMPLAINT.
An appeal that American wool
growers by on record in favor of
the peijce treaty and the League of
Nations was made by F. J, Hagen
barth, of Salt Lake City, president
of the National Wool Growers’ asso
ciation, when the organization open
ed a three-days’ convention at Salt
Lake City several ifeeks ago.
“We should be ready to hold out
a helping hand,’’ he said; “but let
us have a league based on American
ideals and at the same time safe
guarding our own Constitution and
nationality.”
President Hagenbarth described
the railroad service during the past
two years as “unsatisfactory and
damaging to livestock.” In all, he
said, the railroad service has been!
“wretcKed and badly ^disorganized,” j
and asserted the losses of the grow
ers from causes incident to the bad
service would run into millions.
“If the past year affords a fair
example of what the shipper may
expect from government operation
of railroads,” he said, “I am sure
the wool growers will be a unit
against such an undertaking.”
President Hagenbarth laid stress
upon the shortage of freight cars.
Double-deck cars are especially
needed, he said, for the shipment
of sheep.
From present indications, Presi
dent Hagenbarth said, it is quite
certain there will be no reduction of
costs in the production of tlje 1920
wool crop. “The 1920 yield,” he
asserted, “is already 80 per cent
made and paid for, and necessarily
there can be no saving.”
He emphasized the necessity of
competition with English and for
eign wool. “At present we are
largely in the hands of Great Brit
ain as to what prices on fine wool
should be,” he said.
“The general impression prevails,”
he continued, “that the wrool grow
ers have been coining, money. How
ever, the wool and mutton produc
tion business has not been as profit
able as before the war. Money has
been made in isolated instances and
.localities where conditions were un
usual.
“Labor costs have increased more
;than 100 percent and feed has
j doubled or trebled in cost,” he said.
“Coupled with these excessive ex
penses,” he continued, “we have met
with declining markets on our meat
products.”
Hagenbarth told the delegates it
would be well for wool growers to
adopt the bonus system or co-opera
tive plan to make it possible for
faithful and deserving employes not
only to draw fair wages, but also
through stock ownership to acquire
an interest in the business.
All branches of the sheep industry
from the producer to the consumer j
should be more or less co-ordinated, !
he said, and they should co-operate 1
j without friction. “The crying need
of business at this time,” he said, '
“is not destructive criticism, but
constructive co-operation.”

Tell me a tale of Alaska’s sun
That shines by midnight—or noon;
Tell me a tale of starry nights,
Or whisper of harvest moon.
We’re sick unto death of that story ■
“Cold”;
Besides, it isn't true
That we are solid chunks of ice—
That is, the whole year thru!
So away with that thought—let’s
think anew;
Forget that old, cold stuff!
A corner on blizzards? Banish the
thought—
Only some of our weather’s rough.
So let's go venturing season about
In search of all sorts of weather—
A Borealis or Midnight Sun
Strung on a chain together!
Let’s catch the sun in his blood-red
' robe,
Which he dons when the day is
thru—
Or sleep all night, by broad day- i
light, * i
As good Alaskans do.
Tell me a tale .if winter lires,
Of mushing teams—and fun,—
Oh, sing me a song of good deeds
long.
Whisper of brave acts done.
Let’s go in search of Hearts of Gold,
Let’s stand by Alaska, our own,
And not till they eat their “Cold
Story” joke
Will we turn reluctant home.
To rise again with yon lazy Moon
On a morn when she sleeps till .
seven.
And catch the Sun as he winks in
her face—
A “movie” flirtation—in Heaven!
Then on to the dance—by Aurora
staged
At night, as she decks our sky;
We’ll laugh with her Boreal-Charm
er gay
As he tosses hgr skirts sky-high!
Majestic McKinley never reveals
The pranks played below — or
above him—
All hail, O Highest American Mount!
With The Ancient of Days we
love him.
Then tell me a tale of a “Fertile
North,”
For once sing the song as we
know it—
Omit the Arctic Bear, Glacial-Stuff,
Be fair in your judgments, AND
SHOW IT!
