Mrs. Hickman went on the job. You do not hear any noise of raids, no smashed glasses, falling over pavements, no chopping up of pianos Mis. Hickman gets her eye on a girl and she begins a campaign that will win the girl and her friends away from the white lights, the wine room and cabaretsMrs. Hickman is making herself a “mother of the streets.” Maybe it is a littne newsboy tiiat she mothers, maybe a puppy, but she is Evans- I ville's professional mother. And she! prefers being called that. too. She tells you in her quiet manner that it takes mothering to get boys and girls off and out of the lure of the street She says that what every city needs is not so many, blue-uni-formed iwliccmen but a few profes-t-ional fathers among them who will Irtat the boys and girls like they would treat their own child. A little mothering and fathering of even the oldest criminals, slje says, will work results where all the bull-, dozing, third degree work will fail. o I-OR.
