Many a suit that took the air Sunday would have had to defer its debut had this April weatli . er come a bit earlier. If the negotiations of the City Council looking toward ty ing Elizabeth City up with hy dro-electric power amount to something, the plants of the lo cal utilities would be worth con siderably less than a quarter of a million dollars. The weather man scored on that frost prediction for Tues day night. It was a frost that' would have done credit to the groundhog had it come a full month earlier. . While not very becoming to April, if the fickle month is bound to behave in such a fashion, frost now is far better than frost later in tho season. Where Praise Is Due The Advance this week, it seems to us, despite the com plete absence of the telegraph editor and the partial absence /of the editor in chief from their respective desks, though some what, weak at times on local news, has been quite up to the usual mark in appearance. Credit for this fact we gladly attribute to the force in the shop,?verily we believe the most efficient and loyal print shop personnel in the State. Readers of The Advance for the fnost part are acquainted ?with Raymond Moore, linotype operators and Constant Fearing, foreman. % But many do not know that the make-up man is Guy White, one-timp cub report er for The Advance who went out of town to serve his appren ticeship as a printer. Mr. White has had entire control of the ar rangement of the news matter on every page of The Advance this week; and the general ap pearance of the paper, we think, has been such as to do him dis tinct credit. , We take this occasion to pre sent Mr. White to Advance readers and to express apprecia tion to the whole force and staff for loyal support during a week when the editor himself has been under too great a strain to shoulder any responsibility for the conduct or content <j his newspaper. Parents Are Blamed For; Waywardness Modem Girl Inefficiency in Direction of Life of Home and Failure of Elders to Keep in Touch With Trend of Timet Cause Flappert to Leave Home, Says Social Worker By ROWLAND \VC)OI>. It2?. By TM Ad??ne?) New York. April 2.?Why do girls leave home? ? Thin question, propounded hun dreds of times and answered in al most as many different ways, has been answered once more?and the answer is not at all flattering to the girls' parents. Inefficient parenthood?failuie of the parent to keep up with the times ?is the fundamental cause back of the escapades on which thousands of American girls embark every year. The blandishments of men, the lurei of the movies and the footlights of Droadway?these things about which there Is so much talk?are merely the secondary manifestations. The speaker was Mrs. Helen Rob inson. membership secretary of the' Girls' Service League of America, otherwise known as "The Hou.v With the Open Door." i The league's annual report, Just published, shows that the organiza tion. in the last year, dealt with 3. 670 girls, of whom it assumed direct care of 1,147. But this total of more than ten a day, Mrs. Robinson said with a sad shake of the head,< Is but a drop in the bucket as com pared with the number of girls that! are "on their own" in New York. "The furnished room houses are full of them," she said. "There has1 never been a census made, but the number must ;un well Into the tens , of thousands. These girls, from all ? parts of the country, descend upon j New York with high hopes of work-] Ing out careers for themselves. Once In a while one succeeds. Rut most ly. they don't. #,ln fully 80 per cent oT the cases THY IlAZKMOHK TODAY Edenton, April 2.?The criminal docket of Superior Court now in ses sion hefre was cleared today for the trial of Kenneth Dazemore. which has occupied the place of chief in terest on the court calendar for this term. Frank Francis, charged with op erating an auto while under the in fluence of liquor, was acquitted by the Jury before the lunch hour. Oscar Hunch, charged with as sault with a deadly weapon, was found guilty. but Judge Devin has not sentenced him as yet. The Stalling* case was concluded Tuesday when the jury found him not guilty of a violation of . the State, stock law. NRGRO WANTED FOR LAItCKXY. Washington. N. C., April 2.?Mon day afternoon Chief of Police Hamil ton received* a long distance phone message from the Klnstqn authori ties requesting htm to arrest one John ? Lee Hardy, colored, who was thought to be in the city. The mes sage stated that the negro was want ed in that town for grand larceny. Immediately after the message was received the chief got busy and Mon day night he was arrested at the Virginia-Carolina tertilizer plant. The chief left Tuesday morning for Klnston with his prisoner. PANTKUO TO CHAPEL HILL Washington. N. C., April 2. ? In the triangular debate represented by Plymouth, Windsor and Pantego, both the affirmative and negative teams of Pantego won by the unan imous vote of the Judges. The neg ative was upheld by Miss Ruby Ricks and John Wilkerson at Windsor and the affirmative by Miss Mary Eliza beth Harris and Irving Robbins at Pantego. Uy this double victory Pan wo And that failure of ttie parent* to understand their children lies back of th?* flight from home. "One of our most recent cane* was that of a pretty 17-year-old girl of flnt* family, who ran away from her home in New Jersey. "When she came to us she had disguised herself by dyeing and bob* bing her hair and she told us a wild story of having lust arrived from England. When she showed me a picture of her home, I knew she wan romancing, for the house was un mistakeably an American suburban dwelling. "She stuck to her story, however, until we discovered a pistol beneath her pftlow and told her she'd have to get her parents to intercede for her to keep her from going to jail. The ruse worked, and it developed she had run away from home be cause her father had forbidden* boy with whom she imagined her self to be in love, to visit* the bouse. "The father saw the light and per mitted the boy to call. It was only a few weeks until the girl discov ered she was mistaken about being in love with him. "The vast majority of our cases, of course, come from poor homes, where allJkinds of deniaj are added to humiliation and ridicule. I "But even In these cases, the fun damental cause of the trouble is the parents' lack of understanding. "Parents have got to wake up. A new day has dnwned for women and the girls, realizing it, will not re main in an old-world, or an oUMjmo atmosphere." | tego is entitled tc* send its teams to | the University of North Carolina to ? compete for the State championship land the,Aycock Memorial cup. .
