GUP1D in JHE STREET; MUNICIPAL COURTING PARLORS SUGGESTED ''CHICAGO, 111. America's housing problem has thrown cupid out In tbe street. Dan's ' Plight is becoming worse daily. As the housing conditions be

come more acute, American courtship takes on, more and more the aspects and privacy of the gentleman goldfish wooing his lady friend" In a nice, shiny bowl before a street window. Never have American girls been forced to meet their sweethearts in hotel lobbies, the corner- drug stores, the postorfice and other public places to the degree that they do today. . . .This condition, brought on through the necessity ot - entire families attempting to , liva - in. tiny, cramped apartments, is the cause for thousands of girl3 finding their romantic dreams ending in unpleasant affairs in juvenile courts, t-.- : u : And. to help" Miss Mary-Bartelme,

flfce listened to thousands of girls tell

their stories; how' they happened to "go wrong;" why they, met young men clandestinely outside their homes, and what they would have done if condi

tions had been different. "The housing nroblem is at the bot

torn of hundreds of the cases that come to me," she said. "It has got to

the point where, unless a family is rich, a girl practically has to meet her boy friends outside the home. Instead of -sitting in the parlor with the gas turned low, they are now forced to meet in cabarets, where the electricity, and life, is turned on high. What we need is public courting parlors. Schoolboards should turn over the buildings to young folks. Churches should be open every night to help girls entertain their friends." And why not, this gray-headed woman pointed out. Cities are building great municipal garages to park motor cars that clutter up the streets. Department stores and theatres check hahies so niohers can be free. Why
