THE POUT OP MISSING GIRLS.
San Francisco Posi.: When the
Columbian Exposition came to a
close in Chicago, it was said that
6,000 ycung women who had set
forth to see its wonders never re
turned home. They were caught up
by the tides and currents of the
great strange city and whirled help
less to tiat mysterious haven, the
port of missing girls, whence no
word ever comes. Their tragic
story has marred the memory of
the brilliant fair iu thousands of
homes.
That San Francisco shall not be
come a port of miss.'ug girls in
1915, i3 the aim of a group of
clubwomen, members of the Wom
an's Exposition Board, who have
organized for the purpose of chart
ing the sea of city life, marking the
dangers that beset unwary feet.
They have undertaken to handle the
whole work themselves and already
have formulated a plan that will, if
carried out, guarantco adequate
protection to every woman and girl,
however innocent and unknowing,
who may come to San Francisco dur
ing the exposition year. They have
before them a task almost as gr.*at
and fully as Important as the build
ing of the Fair itself. It offers
splendid opportunity for the newly
enfranchised women of California
to perform a service of real worth
and lasting benefit. Any call for
help they may make, upon the pol
ice, the city administration, or the
railroads and steamship lines, should
meet with willing response. With
the co-operation of these agencies
there is every reason to believe that
the women of San Francisco will
succeed in their work and be re
warded with the gratitude of the
nation.
Contrary to the general impres
sion, home-grown currants, straw
berries, raspberries, gooseberries anO
cranberries are plentiful in Alaska
and, as determined by soil, climate
and topographical conditions, farm
ing is possible on approximately
100,000 square miles of territory.
Stranger yet to those who ploture
Alaska as an ice-blocked, frozen
country is the statement, made
public by the Department of Agri
culture, that the mean annual tem
perature of Sitka, is "about the
same as that of Washington, D.
C." "Varieties of wheat, oats, rye,
barley, potatoes and many other veg
etables have matured every season
since the department started its
work at °*s two most northern ex
periment stations," says the state
ment. One of these stations is with
in 75 miles of the Arctic Circle.
Addressing tho Manufacturers' As
sociatlon at their banquet in Balti
more, Speaker Champ Clark an
nounced that he' would bo elected
president in 1916. He also declar
ed thrt Senator Borah would be
the ..oinlnee f the Republican par
ty. .Mr. Clark made it clear that
he believed that he would today be
president had the presidential pri
mary been in effect when President
Wilson was nominated. He said
that Colonel ito^sevelt knew more
about things in general than any
other man, and declared thai
Monroe Doctrine was a live ma
and that uo European power dare
d'
one term for
this may b- Mi ive
to try again.
