Woman Bares Secrets of Love “Bazaar" and Tells How Girls,
Between 15 and 19, Were Card Indexed
to Await Wealthy Patrons
(By AI.Kfi ALDEN.)
Hollywood. Calif. -Youth for sale,
beauty at bargain rates, wealthy
patrons putting in an order for a
lovely little blonde to add lustre to
I an evening’s entertainment. These
{are the highlights of the story of a
I hideous trafficking In young girls
| that has Just been disclosed with the
l arrest of the principal figures in
Hollywood’s love bursar.
Ciirls of School Age.
Details of the medium whereby
beautiful girls could be ordered for
an evening's entertainment—and no
questions asked, were whusperad
about In Hollywood and Its environs
for some time, but the film colony
Ls reputed to be shocked at the rev
elations of the far-flung operations
and ramifications of the girl empor
ium where elderly millionaires could
buy the attentions of girls of school
age. Mrs! Olive Clark Day, one of
the three arrested and arraigned on
these hideous charges, asserted that
her stock, which was carefully card
Indexed and classified, was recruit
ed from pick-ups In the street, pick
ups that were always young, fresh
and pretty. ,
Arrested with Mrs. Day are her
common-law husband, William Jo
belmann. and John P, Mills, weulthy
real estate operator,’Numerous girls,
including Alice Blake, told the dis
trict attorney of the activities of
Mrs. Day's "love market."
$20 The Price.
Two hundred dollars for youth
and beauty. That was the standard
price of the wares at the love-mart.
The glrlr. received approximately $20
each out of this. Twenty dollars In
exchange for all that girlhood holds
dear. No wonder Mrs. Day constant
ly reiterated to her girls that noth
ing was wrong, only thinking makes
It so! And what of the patrons, the
elderly men of wealth who made the
business so profitable by their In
satiable demand.;? One of them kept
a regular order for u. new girl eueh
week an dothers were noted for fre
quent re-orders. Many of them are
known to be hiding from the au
thorities but It is believed that sen
sational revelations will be forth
coming when several millionaires art
arrested and confronted with their
victims.
Dazzrd By lights.
Surely the love syndicate could
have selected no better location than
Hollywood for their nefarious traf
ficking'!.
Life is soft, It Is luxuriously easy
here and the eye is constantly daz
zled by the beauties to be found in
even "one-arm" restaurant.. For to
Hollywood flock beautiful girls from
all over the country, town girls,
little timid "country-mouse" girls
who never knew anything more ex
citing than a trip to the county fair,
before they came west. Girls lured

Mr*. Olive Clark Day, who auerted that her *tock, which vu care
fully indexed and claaaified, waa kept on file ao that wealthy patron*

by the glamorous possibilities offer
ed by the movies. Girls who are cer
tain that they can turn the trick,
and tread the rose-strewn path to
.tardom. that rose-strewn path that
Is also replete with sharp.ugiy
thorns.
Still They Come.
And so, they pass, this unique ar
ray of beauties, easy prey for love
syndicates and others who traffic in
tender, young loveliness. For despite
constant wan tings by the chamber
of commerce and other civic bodies
as well as welfare societies, each
train continues to deposit its cargo
of beauty at the film center. Some
are plentifuly supplied with funds,
others have but a few dollars after
they arrive. But ail are confident of
quick success or at least work as ex
tras almost at once. And then come
the weeks of making the rounds of
carting directors and agencies, where
to their amazement, these girls meet
other beauties, exquisite girls, who
haven't worked steadily in months.
Often Oo Hungry. ..
Some of the girls are sensible.
They take work in stores, in offices,
in restaurants, glad to do jobs that
they would never have thought of
doing back home. But others hang
on, clutching at each shadowy hope
and promise, certain that they will
succeed. They often go hungry, ihus
making them easy prey to the
stranger who talks to them so sym
pathetically while he stakes them to
a good meal. With money gone, hope
gone, clothes shabby, dark despair
enveloping these beautiful creatures,
it is not difficult to see how love
markets can flourish and constantly
replenish their stock, so that their
wares can be kept fresh and allur
ing. Far more terrible than any
manufactured melodrama is the
heart-rending story of Hollywood's
party-girl revelations.

Dr Florence S>abin
Bullalo, N. Y,,-—probably she most
unpopular gentleman among mar
ried women today is Assemblyman
Arthur L. Swartz, ot Buffalo, New
iork.
Jhis gentleman has never r arriv
ed any pattteufc# notice torn the.
American press until he proposed
the legislative inquiry to uunt out
women who 'lOlrl pofc
lie jobs anti have husbands able to
support them.
His colleagues shook their heads
at the controversy that gentlemans
plan had aroused.
In a discussion with Mrs. Murired
*• alnier, secretary ot the \a\on«1
Womaft’s party, the asSmnbUunan
i pheid '’hs views and stated -h.« wo
cr,n »•»» infinitely more impotent
i as a mother than as economic fac
tors. or even as geniuses.
That married women will be
Torced out of the office and bac*
into the kitchen, however, is evi
dent by ruch proposals as .hat of
4 ssemblymRn Swartz, whirh have
f'sken place in several stat» legisla
tures. One was passed recently In
Massachusetts. As a result one firm
in Lynn discharged more than 100
women whose husbands w;ic able
tr support them according to the in
vestlgators. The places of these wo
men will be taken by widows, spin
sters and flappers. How min/ of
the latter are supported by their
papas is a factor which has not befn
Investigated.
Already the marriage rate is de
lining, which may be due to econ
omic depression, but why put such a
■Slice on marriage?
The findings of the Woman's bu
eau. according to Mary Anderson,
of the state department of labor, re
i rts that “based on sclentificaliy
imducted investigations, show that
‘he majority of married women who
are working are doing so because
their wages are necessary for the
upport of the home and family”
This deals with the matter from
an economic standpoint. * Ar-jther
f^ct Is that many women who en
ioy office positions are unfitted for
the duties of the kitchen. For.laps
a week of their cooking would give
f iend husband a different view on
life.
Another aspect Is presented b/ the 1
husband who grants his wife tc go
to work. There Is, for instance the
case of Smith vs. Smith, In the Su
preme court, Brooklyn, N. V., where
It is alleged that Mrs. Smith wanted
more money, so her husband told
her he would pay her way through
business college so that she could
get a job.
There are several instances In
which woman has shown to be more
than equal to -nan in the field of In
iustry and, through her efforts,
have reached a place In the com
mercial life of the nation, which. It
is even doubtful, that, with equal
opportunity, could be attained by
man.
Among the outstanding femin
ists who have proven their ability
in the fled of industry, are Alice
Foote MacDougall, who began her
now famous restaurant business ct
28. Twenty years later she was the
owner of a $2,000,000 a year busi
ness.
Another example Is Mrs. Anna
E. Keyser, executive assistant in
the office of D. H. Hoover, chief of
the Federal Steamship Inspection
service, who is said to know ship
construction from bow to aiem
Women not alone show their met
tle In the industrial world. They
have also taken their place in the
realms of science. A notable In
stance Is that of Dr. Florence Sabin,
celebrated throughout the world
for her constant research for the
purpose of mitigating human suf
fering, through which she has Grav
en woman's place Is also In the
medical laboratory.
