162 GIRLS LISTED AS MISSING FROM HOMES IN YEAR 115 of This Number Found by Police or Return Through Other Agencies. X By KATHLEEN M’KEE. One hundred sixty-two young women, under the ace of 25. were reported missing to the women's bureau of the police department during the last year. From this number of girls, forty-seven were found through the local police department, sixty-eight returned themselves or were found through other sources and forty-seven are still on the missing list. “Undoubtedly, a number of cases have not been reported to our office," said Miss Clara Burnside, supervisor of the women's department, “because many persons think the names of girls who run away from home are made public. “We make no names public unless we lave permission, or are requested to do so in the hope that such publicity will expedite sean-h for the girl. “Conditions now are worse than ever before.” asserted Miss Burnside. “The effects of the war have caused a general restlessness ail over the country. (iIKL s PARTICULARLY AFFECTED BY UNREST. "People are not satisfied; they are demanding constant amusement. "The girls have -been affected particular ly. \ “Many have lost sight of all conventions during the war. and have not rejemp<\ them since the cessation of hostilities." Unpleasant home conditions are partly responsible so- the girl leaving home in Miss Burnside’s opinion. "The young woman now demands absolute freedom from parents' advice; associates with whom she pleases," she declared. Miss Burnside also cited joy riding as

Craps Shooting Not Part of Curriculum CHICAGO, Juna 4.—Craps shooting is not listed in the curriculum of Northwestern university, Dean R. C. Flicklnger of the College of Liberal Arts said today, in explaining his threat to banish flve students. Paul R. McGill, freshman from St. Joseph, Mo., left the school last night. Dean Flickinger admitted. Four others alleged to have been teasing 'gallopin’ dominoes" will be expelled. Dean Flickinger said.

one of the contributing reasons for the disappearance of so many girls. "Lack of stringent marriage and divorce laws is indirectly resopnsible for , some present conditions," Miss Burnside continued. "Conditions which make it necessary for girls to leave school to go to work also are a factor. SELDOM MEET WITH PROPER CO-OPERATION. “Pe'ople make the work more difficult for us by not notifying us immediately if the girl is found. •‘We were working on a case recently where we were not aware that the girl had been found until a week later." Speaking of the difficulty in tracing a missing girl, Miss Burnside said unless there was some marked distinguishing feature, usual descriptions fit so many people as to make them almost useless. She cited as an example the case of a girl who has been missing for three weeks, and is known to be in this city, but her description is too vague to locate her. Details in wearing apparel arc of little j assistance in tracing a person, according to Miss Burnside. The women's bureau of the police de part men t was organized in May. 1018. Miss Burnside was appointed supervisor a.' that time. The force now consists of thirteen police women and three matrons.
