MAIDEN SEEKER FOR POT O’ GOLD GUARDED HERE Travelers’ Aid Society on Watch for Unsophisticated Girls. PROPER GUIDES GIVEN What does Indianapolis do for the girl who reaches here alone? Os course, we don't mean the competent young woman who has traveled through a dozen or more States on her “lone,’’ but we are referring to the little girl from “down State” who a few short hours ago packed her suitcase so proudly with the elegant appearing dresses, the work of the town "seamstress” anil, with heart beating high .with ambitions to make money, told her ’folks "goodby,” set out for "the big city,” where work is supposed to abound In every direction you look. To some sophisticated metropolitan citizens the problem of the country girl In the city seems to be “ancient history.” But, It Is one of those peculiar -economic conditions which does not evolve with the rest of the world and the difficulty of protecting the young girl who is "seeking her fortune” in the big city ts as difficult as it was twenty years ago. ► In these days when the church which used to hint at the wickedness of the dtv now paints in flaming red the disclosures of the pitfalls set for th" uninitiated, hundreds are asking how does Indianapolis rare for the girls who seek work within the gates of the Lnion Station ? For this purpose the Travelers Aid Society of Indianapolis has an office in the southwest corner of the l nion Station. where Mrs. Edna L. I’earce watches for the strange girl and directs her to i safe place to room.

EASY TO KNOW STRANGE Glßillow do you know a girl is strange in the city? That is easy. If she knows what she is doing she will either walk straight through the depot or look around for the person who is to meet her. On the other hand If she is a stranger she usually puts her bag down in the middle of the floor and casts an uncertain glance around the room. This girl usually arrives late in the afternoon. Also she usually is without money, or if she has any. it is a very small amount. She does not know where she is going and does not have any friends in the city. She usually has the opinion she can find a room “right across from the station,” and that the next morning she can get fa "swell ' job at the first place she inquires.. It Is the business of the matron of the Travelers’ Aid Association or the y c. A. worker, into whose care she is transferred, to disillusion her as kindly as possible. Perhaps by picturing to her In firm language the hardships she will have to go through maybe she can be convinced that "home Is the best place after all." She usually says she came to the city to get work, but she doesn’t "know much of anything." but she understood "anybody could get a Job." It sometimes takes mpre than her informer s statement to convince her Just "anybody can't get a Job, but trained women only are in demand. What brings the girl to Indianapolis ? It is generally conceded the stories of high wages paid during the last few years have drawn thousands of these girls to the cities, but the real answer for all times Is “dissatisfaction" exaggerated to “unhappiness” In many Instances. Perhaps it Is real, but more [often It is only fancied. “Home trouble" On Its many phases is the title for many, 'nanny cases. Sometimes the father or mother has married a second time and discord enters the home. Sometimes the desire to escape the results of poverty brings her to the city, ignorant of the knowledge that she is about to enter a harder life than the one she left. THE ONE SEEKING A BETTER TIME. Then, there Is the girl who, although she is not wilfully “bad.” has come to believe that she ran have a better time in the city than she had under the eyes of her parents. The matrons say she Is the hardest to work with. “In fact," said Mrs. Pearce, “the girl who needs our help the most is the hardest to approach. She far more often re sents what she terms our 'lnterference' than docs the girl who Is not In need ot our help ” “But, I do not believe these girls should be blamed for their conduct, because they do not know any better, and

“I FEEL AS THO’ I COULD NOT DRAG THRU THE DAY’S WORK” is the complaint of many a woman in the household, office or factory After suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy, weak and dragged-down by weaknesses SH of her sex —with eves sunken, black circles and pale cheeks—such a woman is quickly restored to health by the Favorite Prescription of Dr. Pierce. Changed, too, in looks, for after taking Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription the skin becomes clear, the eyes brighter, the cheeks plump. It is purely vegetable and contains no alcohol. Druggists sell it in tablots or liquid, or send Dr. Pierce, at Invalids’ Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y., 10 cts. for trial package. After taking this well-known remedy you will feel strong and healthy. Such a change in feelings, too —there’s sparkle in the eyes, a rose tint in the cheeks, for one has rich, red blood. There s elasticity in every movement and a spring in the step. Love comes to every woman who has bounding health —but when she is pallid, dulleyed, languid, she has no magnetism, nor does she appeal to any man. Detroit, Mich. —“Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription did me a world of good. I had become all run down, waa weak and extremely nervous. I could not sleep and my appetite was poor. I had a tired and worn out feeling—no ambition to do anything. My whole nervous system seemed to be affected. A friend advised me to try the Favorite Prescription and by the time I had taken two bottles I felt like anew woman. My health and strength had fully returned and I had no discomfort of any sort. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is an excellent tonic to build up a nervous and run down system.”—MßS. CHAS. CLARK, 183 Porter St. Write the Faculty of Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., for free, confidential medical advice. * Vr

ARMY ALL SET FOR FIRST TIME IN FIFTY YEARS General Snow, in Report, Says U. S. Fully Equipped With Artillery. NOTES OFFICER NEED WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—For the first time in half a century the United States has on hand sufficient stocks of artillery, left over from the war, to equip a large sized army, according to the annual report of Maj. Gen. J. J. Snow, chief of field artillery, to the Secretary of War, made public today. “Should war unfortunately break out in the next* few years," said General Snow, “we should be spared the spectacle of artillery drilling with improved wooden guns, home-made telephones, rope harness and similar expedients which characterized the first year of the present war." General Snow reviews *he year'* activity of the field artillery as a combination of a great deal of work with emnll visible results. At no time during the year, he says, have there been sufficient regular officers to properly carry on training of troops and recruiting enlisted men has been slow and difficult. Financial inducements in civil life and unsettled conditions were given as the main causes for resignations of officers and lack of re-enlistments of enlisted men. The result was that during the entire year many regiments have remained at little more than the strength of batteries. During* the year four light regiments have been motorized for experimental purposes. Although a thorough test of the experiment could not be made, due to the shortage of enlisted men, considerable data has been accumulated find the experiments will be continued until sufficient information has been obtained to Justify conclusions as to the substitution of motors for horses throughout the field artillery. One battery of artillery has been equipped with mules Instead of horses on the showing of statistics that these animals lost through sickness and Injury during the World War was about oneteuth of the number of horses lost.

The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is acknowledged to be the largest individual producer of gasoline in the world, and its efficient system of distribution makes it possible for the remotest citizen in the 10 states served to get his requirements of petroleum products with a minimum of effort and expense. Advanced methods of refining, originated in the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) laboratories, have vastly increased the percentage of gasoline recoverable from crude oil. The Company is striving to increase the yield of gasoline, and every effort is concentrated to the accomplishment of this result without sacrifice of gasoline quality. The efficiency of Red * Crown Gasoline is an illustration of w T hat has been accomplished. * The entire petroleum industry is working to multiply the motor miles which shall be available during 1921, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is leading in this effort. Prospectors are seeking to discover new fields to 9 drill. Producers are insisting on maximum out- , put from wells already drilled. Waste of oil in transportation is practically eliminated, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency in refining has vastly increased the average recovery of motor fuel from the crude available.
