' From a news story in the New York World we learn that forty-two per cent, of unmarried mothers cared for in the last two years in fif teen Salvation Army homes in the Eastern ter ritory were school girls of an average age of sixteen. Col. Margaret Bov ill, in direct charge : of that branch of the Army's work, said re cently in a statement covering a survey made June 9th. Os these, one was twelve, one thir teen and many fourteen and' fifteen, she .said. Os the total of 397 unmarried mothers car ed for, 169 were of sixteen average and 197 of the 3i?7 blamed automobile flirtations for their troubles. Philadelphia had the greatest percentage of mothers of school age with a mark of 75 per cent. In New York City the percentage was only twenty, while Boston with 13 had the smallest per centage. ‘’Twenty years ago,” said Colonel Bovill in her statement, "our rescue homes were al • ways filled with women of mature age who t had deliberately degraded themselves. This is not the situation today. “In spite of reforms such as doing away with red light districts, the Salvation Army now has in this territory twice the number of ma ternity homes it operated in these lurid days v, of the past and they are all filled to capacity— |jby whom? Not by professional, but by school A children, many of whom have been obliged to - leave their desks in high or elementary grades S to go direct to our institutions. « “The average age of these girls is sixteen. • Any intelligent observer will see what this ■ means. To have an average of sixteen means j that we must have an astounding number of girls who are becoming mothers between the ages of eleven and fourteen. “In a majority of-cases we find the same cause—automobiles with predatory drivers, j In hundreds of cases we have found girls either on the way to school or on the way home ‘. from school have been picked up by men in automobiles with disastrous results. “In other words, we have relatively few de-\ liberate and consciously had women in our institutions. Those we have now mostly are l girls good at heart, most of them with good ; homes, but who, as a result of indifference . j toward personal control or any kind of moral. —or ethical, guidance, have allowed themselves] to make mistakes.” The cities covered in the survey and the per! cent, of girls whose age averages sixteen in t the Salvation Army maternity home of each , 11 of these cities follow: I} Philadelphia, 75 per cent.; Jersey City, 60 t per ctfnt.; Pittsburgh', 50 per cent.;■ Buffalo, 1 40 per cent.; Cincinnati (white), 70 per cent.; , Cincinnati (Negro) 60 per cent.; Birmingham. 25 per cent.; Boston, 13 per cent.; Cleveland (white) 22 per cent.; Cleveland (Negro) 60. per cent.; Louisville, 20 per cent.; Roafioke, 50 , per cent.; Wilmington, 35 per cent.; New York , City,,2o per cent.; Richmond. 40 per cent. j It is this ‘indifference toward personal con trol or ethical guidance’’ that creates the great problem for parents and for civilization. Apparently our young people have the “don’t 1 care” attitude and that more than anything else accounts for the number of unmarried J? mothers of youthful years. T Figures quoted here furnish seed for deep! thought. This is a very serious question, one 1 that demands cooperation between the patvj entj the home, ;thci school 'atjjd the ’e,htn^h ! .f h Thise 'youthful ' n*6thers not ' only ruin their ; own lives in rrtost instances, but worse still they bring into thF world children that have i‘ no chance. The children are'born in rescue homes and a;|Jfer awhile are turntf* loose vftth i- the mother to get along as best they can. S@th ■J influences are not conducive to better -citizen ‘ 3 ship. Lack of inspiration, we heard a speaker saj recently, is the greatest curse of the average - young man today. It’s lack of inspiration all t right, along with lack of regard for public t opinion and the rules of nature that ruin so s many young men and young women. When we can get the youths to strive for things they, will protect their bodies, but so long as J they drift along without aim or ambition their immorality will eWr increase. WOULD' ROUTE TRAFFIC BY HOTEL. Since the completion of the new Hotel Con cord the suggestion often has been made that the highway route should be changed so the traveling public would pass the hostelry. The suggestion is well worth consideration. Southbound traffic offers no problem in this matter, but the same cannot be said of northbound traffic, due to local traffic rules which forbid left hand turns at the square. The highway commission might be persuaded to change the routing so northbound traffic would enter the city on Depot street, go dowr Powder to Corbin street, then to South Union and then up North Union street. That would add but a little distance to the route and would carry strangers by the hotel. And strangers, nine times out of ten want to know where the leading hotel is so the change would be of benefit to the public as well as to the hotel.* If the highway commission will not make the change in the routing we suggest that the hotel company put up signs directing traffic. The highway signs can be left as they are, with the new signs directing traffic only to the hotel. Since right-hand turns are allowed at the square southbound traffic can be easily handl ed. One large sign at the intersection of Buf falo and Union streets will carry through traf fic by the hotel. The highway commission, we suggest, he asked to make the changes and if it refuses then the hotel company should put out direc tions of its own. It has no right to change the State routing, to be sure, but it has the right to put up signs of its own directing traffic to the location of the hostelry. 1925 MOTORING DEATHS SHOW A HEAVY INCREASE. Automobile fatalities in the United States totalled 22,500 in 1925, an increase of approxi mately 2,200 over 1924’s record. These figures have just been made public by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters! This analysis, based on the official reports of automobile fatalities in 147 cities, was even more startling than expected. Motor car death rate per 100,000 population has increased from 14.9 in 1923 to 15.7 in 1924 and 17.2 in 1925. Registration during 1925 increased to 19,- 954.347 from 17,591.981 in 1924. Deaths of children less than fifteen years old continue to he one of the most serious as pects of the situation. During 1925 it is es timated that 6,300 children under fifteen were killed in automobile accidents, compared with 6,090 in 1924. A TRIBUTE TO FARM MOTHERS. ' The Progressive Farmer. That eloquent Georgian, the late Senator Thomas E. Watson. sltUI on one occasion : , .“There are thousands of devoted and absolutely ad mirable wives and mothers in' our cities, in our towns. * and in our villages, and if gives me pleasure and pride j to testify to tlie fai t: but if you ask me to carry you to the 1 ionic of the true wife and the true mother, one . who loses herself entirely ; n the existence of her bus- ( band and her children, one who is the first to rise iu the . mornirig and the last to retire at night, one who is al ways at her post of duty and who carries upon her shoulders the burdens of both husband and children, one who is keeper of the household and its good angel, utterly unselfish, happy in making others happy, without | thought of fashionable pleasures, perfectly content in 1 quiet home life n which she does nobody harm and everybody good, taking as many thorns as she can from 1 the pathway of her husband amt strewing it with as many roses as possible, strengthening him by her in spiration ns lie goes forward' to fight the battle of life, smoothing thi pillow upon which he rests his tired head when hij comes home, tenderly rearing the boys and girls who will in turn go away from the door, some day for the last time—the boy to become a good soldier in life's 'Continuous warfare, and the girl to become some ardent suitor's wife and be to him what her mother has been to her father; and wllo. when ail toils are done and her strength is departing, will sit calmly in the doorway, j watching the setting sun with a sereue smile upon her face and never a fear 'n her heart—ask me to find where this woman lives, where this type is to be found, and I will make a beg line for the country.” tYliat Tom Watson said is true; we all know it. It only remains for us to ask mirselves whether we are do ing what we should to show our appreciation of the ' work and love of farm mothers. Is the kitchen as well equipped with labor-saving conveniences as it ought to I be? Have we really installed the most modern water and l'ght systems we can afford? I>oes the farm mother ' get a 1 real vacation once a year? Do we co-operate with j her as much as we might iu giving expression to her I love of the beautiful—is the housel painted ; the borne grounds beautiful with shrubs, trees, and. flowers; the home decorated with reproductions of beautiful paint ings? Is there some source of cash income the farm mother can claim as her very own? Is her counsel sought 1 about ail matters affecting the welfare of the farm and fanvl.V? Are husband and children thoughtful of her comfort and ready to show her that loving eourtesy and ; appreciation which will lighten all her burdens and 1 shorten and sweeten her hardest tasks? i S WISE CRACKS. i I By International News J i Optimism is v.hatyou have you reach a point l ■ where*there is nofbfog lei# iu tjiet world that you rehl- , ly need.—Arkansas'Democrat. * | Right now we believe we had rather be anything. , either.eight or wrong, than President of Poland.—Nash- - viße Banner.

' Charlotte,'June 14. —If you have a C weak heart or a weak constifußon, O better not try the Charleston! That’s the advice of Dr. Y'ateg W. 11 Faison, Charlotte physician. iiCcdrd- S ing to an article in the Charlotte Om server. "For,” says Dr. Faison. "Oharfge. n. ton dancing is no pastime for weak lings. "It’s strenuous exercise, and eVen the healthy, normal person, would do i. ;well to truin for a period of at least six months before going through any prolonged exhibition of the gyra tions usually effected by the Chari t leston dancer.” * To begin with. Dr. Faison re ' minds that Charleston dancing is an - even more violent form of exercise than baseball, swimming, tennis of x any of the usual form of exercise, bs cause it bring into ji!ay evei*y muss' t ele of the body and is a continuous ; exercise. ■ “In almost any other form of ex> * ereise. one can take a few momenta l rest and relaxation.*’ Dr. Faison sai<) . yesterday, “but the Charleston exhibi tion i* more or less a test of endur ance because 5t is con'Jinuousi ex* l ereise. t “Any one who expects to become 4 Charleston performer would do well l to take it easy, and train for a period of months before attempting the dance for exhibition purposes,” ■ I>r. Fasion advises. ■ “Those who have a weak heart, or for some other reason cannot stand an undue amount of exercise, should desist.** Dr. Faison said. . “Many mothers asked my advices as to whether or not their children ■ may take up the dance, and 1 always r t advise that it depends on the child’s r physical condition. “If one is strong and healthy and r normal in every way, the Charles ton may be danced with no ill ef fects. but the health should be taken - into consideration, just as it would . if one considered taking up football, baseball, swimming or any other more or less strenous form of exer ■ cise. This applies to adults as well as children,” Dr. Faison said. NORTH CAROLINA FARMERS NOT ONLY ONES HANDICAPPED The Season Everywhere Is Late Ex cept on the Coast. Raleigh, X. C., Tune 15.—( A *)— ( North Carolina farmers need not feel that they are the only ones handicap ped by a late and dry spring, de clares Frank Parker, crop statistician of the State federal crop reporting service, in his June 1 crop report made public here by him. “This seems to boa dominant fac tor from the farmers’ standpoint over the country at large.” says Mr. Par ker. The season is late, except on the . Pacific Coast. The work of planting crofis lias been expensive and annoy ing. “The dry weather extends through : the wh«st belt up into the northwest,- ! while the southwest is too wet. Pas tures were the poorest iu May for many years. Corn was late in get i ting planted and in coining up. Fair stands are now general. Cotton, how ever. ; s looking decidedly spotted. A late spring, however, does not neces sarily mean an unproductive season. “The present winter wheat crop of 54U.000.000 bushels is 150.000.000 ; bushels more than last year, yet the stocks from previous crops are low. Tlie hog market last month reached the highest point in six years. The , May price advance was the greatest for the past 25 years, exclusive of certain war-time inflations. Pork in storage : s quite low as compared with last year. Pork shows a very sure portion at the present time and will probably continue so during the next five or six months. The hog-corn ra tio is almost the highest on record. “Now is the time for the farmers to bear in mind the violent decline iu prices that usually follow the over-ex | pansion of hog production under sim ilar price relationships. As a usual 1 thing, the time to breed hogs is fvlien the price is down aud to hold off when ’ the price is up. as this catches the Jiigh price in the cycle of production. ’ “Now is the particular time for stocks and storage to be studied, as ’ they are significant at this time of * the year in relation to this year’s pro duct ion. Cotton stocks are the hcav j iest since 1021. Stocks of butter in n cold storage are four times what they were a year ago. There are a mil lion less cases of eggs than a year , ago.” Paroled to Go to See Sick Child. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. June 15.—Some may main tain that “there ain’t no such ani mal” when it comes to tender hearted or sympathetically-inclined State offi cials, especially when it concerns the question of paroles. But in North Carolina things are done differently, because things are different here. Today T. K. Smith is at his little home iu Ansou county at the bedside of one of his sick children. Smith is serving a sentence of ten years iu the State prison here for homicide, and has already completed about four years time. Yesterday he was in formed that one of his children \\as very ill and might not live. H. Hoyle Sink was advised of the facts of the case, he was granted a parole until Thursday at 0 p. m. and today is back with his family, the first time in four years. No officer went with him. but lie will be back at the prison Thursday afternoon. Yes, it is different in North Caro- I lina. • . Fearing Failure of Crop; Yadkin Farmer Ends Life.

Without waiting for j ’ ,he second letter from this "special ist.' which would have given her a j reduced price, or for the third, which probably would have cut the rate still more. Miss Vancouver sent the equiv alent of ten dollars, for which she received a box of twenty-one rather large capsules, completely filled wit’ll a yellowish composition, apparently moist and solid. These were to furnish "treatment j for a week, one capsule to be styai liwed before eatdt meal. Quite in advertently she left one of the cap- I sulos on her desk, after she had tak- j in half a dozen of them. Her assist- ' ant. standing beside that desk just ; before lunch, thought she saw the | capsule move. A longer glance as sured her that it did move. She called her superior's attention to the mys- ] tery. The capsule was opened and found to contain, buried in a gel- j .urinous compound, 11 small but very , active worm. Other capsules from | the package were opened, revealing a | similar worm in each. laboratory I investigation showed that all the cap- ; sides were similarly filled with crawl- ; ors and that each of these worms was , a very young intestinal parasite. I On advice of her employer, the ] woman wrote to the anti-fat concern, | and by return mail received the ex- | planation that the “worms must have j developed within the preparation.” aud the further offer of five hundred | dollars and complete free treatment for 'her silence. Meanwhile, two other "treatments” were ordered by other persons. These when received and examined revealed the same living "remedy" in each capsule. Action was I taken against the “obesity specialist" j and lie was fined, given a prison sen- ! fence, and for the time being put out j of business. Six months of steady treatment by a local physician were required to relieve the woman of the worms she luid taken in her first doses of trie anti-fat capsules. Doubtless this sort of remedy would reduce cor pulence—and nlso result in the death of thy person taking it. ''' Probably the movement of the worm within the capsule was caused by the unusual heat of the sun’s rays, falling ■through a window as the pellet lay on the victim’s desk. Except for triis fortuitous accident, the disaster! which inevitably would have overtak- ] en this woman would not have been j averted, and the anti-fat fakers wofilil j have had to their discredit another I death. Terrible ns is this example of I the work of trie swindlers in one de- j pnrtment of medicine, it is the only I incident on record in which internal parasites have been introduced into the human body as a “cure” for obesi ty. Yet the medical associations of the several states and the American Medical Association in the past ten years have exposed more than 500 men and women as distributors of abso lutely worthless and often harmful al leged remedies for corpulence, or plain "fat." as one prefers to call it.
