Elder Halstead Severely Injured in Fall Down Stairs.

Elder Davit T. Halstead, who was 88 years of age on May 22nd, fell down an -entire flight of stairs at the White Boarding House at midnight Tuesday night and sustained injuries’ that are apt to result fatally. Elder Halstead has boarded at this hostlery since early in February, after his return from South Dakota, where he had spent several months. He had no children with whom to live and found accommodations at the boarding house, where he had kindly attention from Mrs. Dunlap and Mr. Haskell. He has spent almost all of his time in his room, being able to be up but little, although he was active mentally and spent his time reading. At just midnight Mrs. Dunlap heard a crash in the front hall and hastened but, finding the aged gentleman unconscious on the floor. Mr. Haskell hastened out also and Marshal Shesler, who is a boarder there, also came to the hall and Mr. Halstead was carried back to his room. Apparently he had left his room to go to the bathroom and had turned the wrong way and fell down the stairs. Dr. Loy was called and made a careful examination but found no broken bones. There was a gash on the forehead and he was suffering from, the shock. At noon he was only partially conscious. It is not improbable that the accident will terminate fatally. Elder Halstead Was the pastor for many years of the Church of God and is one of tne old and highly esteeemed men of this city. He is a brother of Mrs. Jared Benjamin, who is almost 90 years of age. SinCe the death of his wife some two years ago Elder Halstead has spent much of his time with his sister, but her advanced age required the quite constant companionship of her daughter, Miss Mattie Benjamin, and Elder Halstead has been at the boarding bouse for four months or more.

Fires No License For Rapid Driving of Autos.

The blowing of the fire whistle usually causes a number of auto owners to rush toward the scene of the fire at a speed that is very dangerous to persons, especially children, who always start toward the fires. Many car drivers who are ordinarily very careful seem to consider the fire whistle as a license to break all speed regulations. This is not the case and the person who does so is just as liable as under any other occasion. The excitement of a fire is intense and children take down the middle of the streets to dash across them, while the din of noise, made by the whistle, the fire engine, many automobiles and persons calling out makes it almost impossible to distinguish the noise of an approaching car. Children are thinking only of getting near the fire or in some position where they can see the fire team run. One ear narrowly missed two little boys Tuesday evening. Persons who drive cars should consider that the danger of accident increases with excitement and that it is up to each individually to the careful.

Tells Women How to Keep Girls From Vice.

Chicago, June 16.—George J. Kneeland did some plain talking to delegates to the General Federation of Women’s clubn in convention here today. Mr. Kneeland is director of the department of investigation of the American Social Hygiene association. His remarks were based on statistics gathered by his department and on the reports of investigators. Contrary to the general impression and the report® of some investigators that the majority of these girls are feeble minded or subnormal, Mr. Kneeland, said the majority of the girls are intelligent. “Some of them,” he asserted, “come from such homes as yours. Some live at home in idleness and ease. They are typical American girls, daughters of respectable and prosperous parents.” Mr. Kneeland said that dancing and impassioned love scenes on the stage intensified the sex appeal. He told the women they could help save these misguided girls and made the following suggestions: “Make some effort to find these girls in your town. They are there. Having found them, you can attach yourself to them with hands of love and understanding. The way to know them is to study your own heart, remember the days of your. youth. The influences that protected you will in the end save them.

“Give to them healthy and sane instructions as to the mystery of life. Warn them of diseases and the crime of abortion. The evil must be supplanted by the good. “Each of you have a powerful influence in providing amusements in your own community, where the sex appeal is eliminated. “Use your influence to bring about better economic and industrial conditions, so that fathers can be masters in their own home; so that young men can marry early in life. ‘Teach ignorant mothers and fathers so that they will love and understand their children more. ‘Teach boys and young men to honor womanhood. You can make them realize that young girls represent more than half of all future generations; that upon them depends the health and power of the race; that to Injure a girl, take advantage of her racial instinct at a critical moment, is a crime against unborn generations. Men must learn to sacrifice themselves, if need be, for the good of the race. “Use your influence to restore the home, the simple, yet powerful protection which grows out of the belief in the religion of our fathers. ‘The most complete solution otf a man’s or woman’s sex problem lies in vital, personal relationship to the infinite and eternal God. This we must teach our sons and daughters.”

The resolutions adopted recommended: ,

Simple, becoming and modest designs in dress. Favored increased appropriations for state and city boards of health. Urged university extension work for the prevention of disease. Promised-to co-operate with children’s bureaus in employing nurses. Requested children’s bureaus to prepare pamphlets for mothers on sex instruction for their children. Approved state laws making mandatory the reporting of venereal disease.

Approved abatement and injunction law in the suppression of immoral resorts.

Mrs. Percy J. Pennybacker, of Texas, was re-elected, and the entire ticket of the nominating committee was Chosen without opposition.

Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson, daughter of the president, led the delegates in the singing jof Edwin Markham’s song, “Brotherhood.” When Mrs. Pennybacker introduced Miss Wilson, the throng of delegates arose and waved and cheered her tfor fully ten minutes.
