history, Miss Jessie Binford, noted so
eial1 worker, declared in an interview
Tuesday. She said that parents are
‘powerless.’
‘ The youth of tha*delihquents today
■s atnav.mg,” she asserted. “Most of
he girls are undergo. 'Every com
nnnfuy : visit is greatly disturbed over
;he problem of its young people. This
seems to be the age of youth, and par
ents are powerless. There is a freedom
of relationship that is appalling.’’
Miss 1'in ford, who is field representa
iveOf the United States Inter-Depart
mental Social Hygiene Board, is one of
the one thousand sociologists, psychol
ogists, statisticians, educators and so
cial service workers attending the Chi
cago health conference.
She saidthat the Inter-Departmental
iooial Hygiene Board had made a
study of 15,010 cases of delimuect
girls. a
“Fifty-seven per cent of them had
their first set: experience nnder 1"
years of age. Teirty-sin per cent did
not reach the sixth grade. ’ Eighty
three per cem did not go beyond the
grammar school Ninety-two percent
were at work before the age of 19.'’
“What is to be done?” Miss Bin ford*
was asked; 1
“The parents in tnis coumry,” she
replied, “must again gain control of
their children. Freedom of relation
ship between boys* and girls must be
curtailed. Supervision and -chaperon

Shanghai.—Hundreds of girls are
being sold in the famine districts of
Chiba at prices ranging from $1 to $I0G
each, in order that their parents may
live, according to reports from mission
aries and relief workers.
Commissioner Francis D. Pearce, of
the Salvation Asmy at Pekin, reports:
“hdkrge numbers of girls were sold in
Chiba last year by their parents and
guardiaos in order to obtain the where

hood, was shocked upon hearing the
news and wrote from London that
everything possible should be done to
prevent this traffic, even to the extent
of providin'; the parents with needed
monev for f*x>d, if the girls were placed
under our protection.”
From Honan province a correspond
ent write> to a Shanghai daily:
“The famine situation in Eastern
Honan has become acute. More than
half of the animals are dead, and girls
are being sold for a dollar each.”
In an address before the American
Woman’s Club of Shanghai Miss Louise
Hammond a, missionary from Wusih,
Kiangsuh province, painted a vivid
picture of the fight- the masses of Chi
nese in the famine district are having
to live.
“One of the evils to which the Chi
nese are being forced by the difficulty
of providing rice for hungry mouths is
the sale of their girl babies,” said Miss
Hammond.
“A child of four years can be bought
from $7 to jflOp but girls of Hi braig
from $1<> to $100. ft is ofieo to the ad
vantage of the mother- in-law to buy a
prospective daughter, as she can then
have her services as a household ser
vant before an vsxlf az after marriage.
While tr.ese girls are often very happy
and are> sometimes adopted as the
daughters of the purchasers, there are
many tragic outcomes to the system.”

three years had not read a newspaper.
Consequently, according- to his own
statement, he’s in jail.
Cierotzhi boarded a street car Satur
day, took a front seat and pulled lust
ily oa a cigar The conductor couldn’t
stop him—neither could a patrolman.
“It wasn’t against the law to smoke
on the cars the last time I rode on
one,-” Cierotzhi told the police court
judge.
“When was that?'1 asked the judge.
“Three-years ago.”
“Do you know t here is also a prohi
bition law now?” queried the judge.
“Whv, no,” answered Cierotzhi. “I
never heard of it. But 1 don’t care. I
get my liquor from a friend who makes
it.”
Cierotzhi now is held on a charge oi
violating the prohibition law as well as
smoking on the street car.
