SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1915

Startling revelations of the pitfalls for the youth of Terre Haute, made by Mrs. B. E. Stahl in a recital of her work as oourt matron, roused the members of the Local Council of Women's Clubs to a new sense of social duty at the recent meeting of that body.

Mrs. Stahl said one of the biggest problems confronting her—and society as well—is the young man with an automobile who lures away the girl whose heart craves the joys of youth and yet whose finances make them impossible. "These young men are from our good families, too," she said. "Many a young, innocent girl goes out for what to her appears but a good time and comes back with a broken heart." "Save the young girl in privacy" is one of the court matron's mottoes, She explained that when once a girl appeared in court, she was in a way, branded. "Whenever it is withiri my power, I never allow a girl to be sent to the girls' school until she has been given every opportunity to make good —until she proves that opportunities are worthless. The stigma of a prison is never erased from a girl's life in after years. For that reason, I want to deal with the young girl outside of court as much as it is possible for me. "We should warn our girls of the pitfalls all about them—but that is not enough. We should give them higher ideals and encourage them to live up to them."

The court matron expressed herself rs highly in favor of community work —the idea of represented in the par-ent-teachers organizations. She believes that mothers should meet and exchange ideas with each other and hear talks by persons familiar with social problems, and thus be enabled to do what Is beat for their boys and girls.

Mrs. Mary Sydney Miller, in the informal discussion which followed Mrs. Rtahl's talk, advocated a municipal skating rink or dance hall where youth could seek the pleasure it craves and And It In a healthful, clean atmosphere. Tt was suggested that a plan of this kind was attempted in Terre Haute several years ago by the club women and that the expense fell rather heavily on their shoulders. Mrs. Miller said that In other cities, the expenses were met by the city. Mrs. Stahl said that while she could not speak authoritatively, she believed the present Terre Haute administration would be willing to give the financial assistance necessary- ©he eaJd she would be opposed to it, however, unless the club women would act as chaperones, thus insuring It as a proper place for young people.

Mrs. Richard Chranlckl expressed her belief that the young man with nothing to do but drive his father's automobile around town, was the real menace at the present time. She expressed the belief that the teaching of morality to boys Is just as essential as it is to girls.

Miss Augusta Torner, president of the Lioctil Council of Jewish Women, declared as her belief that closer companionship between mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers, would eliminate much of the danger that comes to young girls who go out at night with no older person with them. "It's natural for young people to want a good time and they should have it," Miss Torner said. "But why allow young girls to go out together in the evening with no older person or young man with them? Why doesn't the mother go more often with her daughter and why don't the brothers—who are so fond of taking other boys' sisters to places of amusement—sometimes take his own?"

The problem of keeping a parentteachers' club organized came up for

informal discussion. Mrs. U. CX Cox, president of the council, who has organized quite a number of parentteachers' clubs including the recent and very prosperous Garfield high school organization, said that the teachers were willing to co-operate but that they already had so many duties that they hesitated at assuming more. She said that the parents of the Garfield organization arranged the programs, thus relieving the teachers of this responsibility.

The council voted to assist in the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals this year as it has in the past after Mr. Duncan, manager of the campaign had addressed them and requested their support. MRS. CURRY WILL BEGIN PURDUE EXTENSION WORK.

December will bring with it a full month in the lecture field for Mrs. Mabel Curry, whose reputation as a speaker is not only established in Indiana and Illinois but in New York state as well. Mrs. Curry will begin her lectures in connection with the Purdue university extension work and will be busy most of the coming month with this work alone.

Mrs. Curry has lectured for Purdue in the winter seasons of the past two years. She has a range of subjects for this work which takes her into the rural communities, as follows: "Farm Life and Education"

"A

Square Deal for the Farmer's Wife" "A Plea For the Country Youth" "The Social Needs of the Farmer!" and "New Ideals of Womanhood."

W. C. Latta, professor of agriculture and farmers' institute specialist, of Purdue, says of her: "Mrs. Mabel Dunlap Curry, of Terre Haute, has done very acceptable and very effective work for Purdue university as a farmers' institute instructor in Indiana for the past two years. Although a city woman, she has personal knowledge of conditions in the country, and is greatly interested in the women and youth of the farm. Her acquaintance with rural live conditions, her interest in the country home and the country youth, her pleasing personality, her studious habits and her earnest, thought-filled messages admirably qualify her to become a popular, sympathetic and effective chautauqua lecturer."

Mrs. Curry's engagements for the Purdue work extend through the next three months.

COLLEGE RULING KEEPS GIRLS AT SCHOOL. Owing to a college ruling of the Oxford college for women, at Oxford, Miss Helen Leever and Miss Sarah Compton, who are students at this institution, spent Thanksgiving at the school. While students do go home for this holiday, the faculty of the school prefers that they remain at lie college as it is but a one day observance.

Thanksgiving day at the college is celebrated with feasting and fun and the students are permitted to invite in as their guests parents or other members of their immediate family.

Dinner is served at 1 o'clock and the students with their friends remain at the table until 3:30 or 4, after which the young wunen enjoy a little dancing party in the sun parlor. This year two of the classes had arranged an evening's entertainment for the other students. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL MEETS IN JANUARY.

Miss Mary E. Redifer, a teacher of the Crawford school, who is in the west on a year's leave of absence, has written Miss Helen Tyler, principal of the Crawford school, a most interesting "History of the Beet." Miss Tyler has read the article to her pupils and she believes it quite valuable for all pupils of the older grades. The letter follows: "I am going to write about the sugar beet industry here (Greeley, Colo.) for the children of the sixth grade, because it will help them in their geography. "Every day since I came I have seen the great wagons, much wider and deeper than our farm wagons, hauling tons and tons of beets to the sugarbeet factory on the edge of this town. I was fortunate in getting to visit it with a class from the normal college. "The beets of each farmer are tested separately by chemical experts every day to get the percentage of sugar and the owner is paid for his beets according to this per cent. This is surely an incentive to good beet farming. "From this room we were taken to the beet bins, where the beets are dumped to await their turn to be ground. They are started from the bins down a long water-filled chute where they are partly washed and trimmed as they run along. When they enter the building they are taken over a regular laundry wheel where the washing is completed. An immense wheel then lifts them to the floor above where they are shredded and come out from the shredder looking like macaroni. We tasted this and found it quite sweet. From the shredder the beets go back to the floor through a movable trough which empties the shredded beets Into a cell or cistern with a narrow top that is closed as soon as the cell is filled. There are about a dozen of these cisterns arranged in a circle, and fastened to one another. When all are filled and closed, the juice is forced from one cell to another and so on around the circle until it comes out of the last almost pure beet juice. The remains of the beets are dropped throng a door in the bottom of the cell and carted away to be fed to the cattle, which are brought here to be fattened on this, and for molasses frim which no more sugar can be gotten. "The beet juice is next mixed with milk of lime, which is made in the factory, and then carbonated, which means that carbon dioxide gas is forced

into it. This causes the lime and other things to deposit, and leaves the juice clear. It runs through colls and colls like radiators, with heavy cloth arranged between the coils to strain the Juice. It comes out of the last one looking like thin molasses. It is very hot in this room, but hotter in the next, the boiling room. They told us it was 120 degrees here and it surely felt like it. A great deal of the heat comes up from the floor below. "The boiling down is done in many closed up places looking like rooms. The boiling is done in these places in vacuum, so it is done at a low temperature. It was boiling and bubbling at a greater rate, as we could see through glass slides. It takes about twenty-eight hours to boil down a tank of it .After it is boiled down it is dropped to the room below into a great open vat. Here it is churned as it cools to make It grain. When cool, it Is taken to machines about as large as three washtubs, placed one on top of the other. The inside of these revolves very rapidly. The sugar drops into these about two water-buckets full at a time. By centrifugal force the molasses is thrown out while the sugar is thrown against the inside in a hard cake. The sugar is now washed by a sprinkler something like a flower can sprinkler and then revolved a few times to dry it. Then the machine scrapes it loose and drops it down to pass it to the crashing room. From the crushing room it passes out in a steady stream to the weighers who do it up in sacks for shipping and store it in their warehouses. The molasses left is boiled again, but even then they can not, at this factory, get out all the sugar. "The fattening of cattle on the refuse, the boiling of sugar in vacuum, and extracting the juice without pressing were the most interesting thing's to me."

Accompanying Miss Redifer's letter was a postcard view of a field of sugar beets in Greeley.
