POLICE WOMAN In Muncie is Wife of a Millionaire—Uses Salary in Helping THE UNFORTUNATE Gives Reporter Interview Concerning Her WorkSound Sense. Views of Mrs. Thomae F. Hart, Millionaire’s Wife, Who is Muncie's Policewoman. "I would rather take my chances with the self-educated young man who knows how to work with his hands than 1 would with the vast majority of high school and college gradu ates.” "The you nr: people of the pr’.or. day know to:, much air-ady about sox matters. Wo need more more 'oldfashioned' mothers who are fully awake." "Girts’ Why. we have no girls today, for os eoon as they are out of swaddling clothes they are ushered into society with all the grown-up airs of mature women." "The woman who marries a man for his wealth, without love, as truly aells her body for gain, as she who is known to the world as a Magdalene.” "The Magdalenea are not wholly bad.” "It is the height of ignorance and folly to arrest and imprison a prostitute.” “While I deplore prostitution, 1 have greater respect for the woman of known ill-fame who takes all the scorn of humanity, than for the married women hiding under the protection of a husband’s name and who at the same time in a surreptitious man ner are carrying on liaisons with other men. while assuming respectability.” "I have far more respect for th* lowest drunkard than I have for the church-going hypocrite who scorns the drunkard but who is himself seducing his neighbor's wife or daughter."

Muncie. Ind.. Feb. 11—Policewomen are not uncommon today, but millionaire policewomen are very scarce Mrs. Thomas F. Hart. Muncie’s first and only policewoman, is the wife of a millionaire manufacturer, herself a leader of society. Garbed in a hand-tailored navy blue suit of simple elegance, carrying a policewoman's club, wearing Badge No. 9. and the regulation police cap. Mrs. Hart goes unescorted into the city's red-light and slum districts, looking for girls she may help. I adopted a uniform for my own protection, as my work takes me Into public places, and many strange ones atid If I were dressed in citizens' dress I would have to be continually explaining who I am.” said Mrs. Hart. “Os course there are times, when doing detective work, when I wear other clothing. I have met with the greatest respect from all classes." Since the first of January, when Mrs. Hart entered upon her duties with the incoming administration, she has handled more than fifty cases. In an article written for the United Press. Mrs. Hart condemn* much of the present educational system. She decried the lack of indu*trial educa tlon. whereas she found many case* of prostitutes who were well educated in other respects. "Very lew. indeed, knoa how to use their hands." said Policewoman No. 9. "so that those who have expressed a desire to reform," are wholly unfitted to take up any kind of work. They must b* re-educated." Mrs. Hart advised girls to take chances with the hardworking mechanic or farmer boy. than "with n polished idler who may talk well but who cannot earn a living." Speaking of sex hygiene teaching.! Mrs. Hart’s express*! opinion was that the threat of a whipping site received from her own mother if the mother ever learned of her sitting upon a man's lap, was th* best kind of sex hygiene teaching. She said she wa* not permitted even th* touch of a man's hand In a familiar way. “Let us not teach sex problems In cur schools," said Mrs. Hart, “hut let us teach our hoys and girls that the body is a precious casket, which contain* that wonderful jewel called the *<ml. tlteretor* It zlhhilK never b* vln--Ist mt or defiled In any way. but watched over and guarded as something sacred.
