j WASHINGTON, April 24.
'The typical prostitute is a farm
er’s daughter.
■ That conclusion was reached
in the April-June issue of the
| Federal Probation Quarterly
■which is devoted to a survey of
prostitution, said iMiss Helen
jHironimus, warden of the Feder
:al Reformatory for Women at
Alderscn, W. Va.
j ‘The typical prostitute is a
young woman in her early twen
ties, undernourished, with scanty,
j cheap, untidy clothing, the pro
duct of an insecure and unstable
rural existence. Ordinarily, she
( is rather inarticulate and be
| wildered at finding herself in urn
, familiar surroundings far from
I home, coAfined for doing some
thing which she considered Tier :
own personal affair.”
| A study of 100 women arrested
in Army camp areas around Fort
Bragg, and Camp Forrest, Tenn.,
revealed that:
Nearly all were reared in ru
ral areas and only nine in cities.
Half of the group came from
I
farm homes, all but six of which
were those -cf share-croppers or
tenant fanners.
Forty three came from “brok
en homes.”
Os the 53 who had married, 31
were reported to have been sep
arated or divorced.
Thirty-one illegitimate child
ren were listed among the group.
Their work histories were ex
tremely limited: 18 had been do
mestics; 15 claimed experiences
| as waitresses in tavenrs, tourist 1
camps and dance halls.
Sixty-eight of the women were
white, 20 were Negroes and 12
were Croatan Indians, the latter
being residents of an Indian set
tlement' in North Carolina. The
youngest was 15; the oldest 65.
It was disclosed that partici
pation in sex activities en a com
mercial basis, in many instances,
dated from the construction of
military camps in their areas of
residence. In almost all cases,
women over 30 closely allied
their activities as prostitutes
with excessive drinking.
Eliot Ness of the Office of De
fense Health and Welfare Ser
vices pointed out that Selective
Service examinations “indicate
the startling fact that 3,200,000 !
persons in the United States
have syphilis now.”

dacy of any other.
McLendon said he had practi
cally given up the thought of be
ing a candidate, but that Gard
ner’s action had caused him to
reconsider. “I’ll have to think
about it.” he said.
On capitol square, where ru
mors and speculation flew thick ,
and fast, there was talk of a
dark horse. And none doubted
but there was plenty of time for
one to get in the race.
While the senatorial race mere
ly bubbled, the gubernational
fight was almost ready to bubble
over. Definitely in the campaign
were Dr. Ralph McDonald, of j
Winston-Salem, who recently re- j
signed his extension department,
post at the University of North
Carolina; Judge Wilson Warlick,
of Hickory, and R. Gregg Cherry,
of Gastonia, former speaker and
present state senator. (
Os the three, Warlick was the !
only ope who had not burned !
his bridges behind him. He said I!
in a statement a few days ago !
that he would make a; definite ;
announcement at a later date.
That was expected to be but a
mere formality. Yet Raleigh spe
culated on the topic of a conver
sation Warlick and Cherry had
in Gastonia the other day. War-1
lidk was holding court there at
the time. '*
McDonald, whom Hoey defeat- !
ed in 1030, now is actively cam-1
paigning through the state.. But j
neither he nor his opponents has
announced campaign or publicity [
managers.

had never been before, and they
: were completely surprised be
cause they thought it impossible.
We pushed so far and so fast our
supplies had to be dropped by
bomber, and for twenty-one days
we didn’t have our clothes off
night nr day. Food was very
light and-none dared use water
for such things as washing the
face or hands. When we'came
out we looked like a bunch of
bums—dirty and unshaven, but
needless to say, very, veryl
proud.
“If you could have asen the'
way those boys fought and '
sweated there aculd be no doubt,
in your mind, or anyone else’s— I
not even Tojo’s—as to who is
going to win this war.
“As you were in the last war
you undoubtedly remember sbme
amusing things- that happened.
There are plenty cl them in this
one, too. Once, when the Japs
iwiere counter attacking, a Jap
soldier, rushing forward, shout-,
ed, ‘Blood for the Emperor! Blood
for the Empencr!’ And one of
our soldiers shouted back, ‘Blood
for Eleanor!’ (referring to the
President’s wife) as he blasted
away at him. Even at a time like
that you can’t hold back a
smile,”
And that’s the way Lieutenant
Davenport is fighting. He left
Roxbono on a cool Spring day
last year. In his pocket were
sealed orders, orders taking him *
to Hawaii and to the “Blood for
the Emperor” jungle. On that'
last night in Roxboro he sat for i
hours talking to a friend and ]
seeking some way to get across j
to the general public just what j
the boys who were leaving here
would be up against. He was
serious about it then and he is
ssrfeus about it now, as Scout
master Haskett and others who
have heard from him can testi
fy.
