I. that is to be held Oct. 29 to 31 at the Evanston Congregational church, is to be a kind of world's con- gress. Delegates will come, not only from all the states of the interior of our nation, but from almost every nation upon the face of the earth. China, Japan, India, Burma, Cey- lon, Turkey, and many sections of Africa and many islands of the sea will be represented. Japan's fore- most representative will be Miss Charlotte B. DeForest. The DeFor- est family have many representatives in Japan. There are now fourteen DeForests doing work of a missionary character in different parts of that fair island. Miss DeForest is a mem- ber of the faculty of Kobe college. This college is no little affair. It had 367 graduates last year. It is doing a big part of the work ot creating the new Japan. Miss Grace A. Funk is ihe represen- tative from China. She is a relative then> between the doorm.

She is a teacher in the Elizabeth Sheldon Lombard School f# Girls at Shao-wu. This is the fj*at alrls* school of that province. Representatives from the best fam- ilies from thirty villages now attend the school- All of its graduates avoid foot-binding. Most of them- are ' woman suffragists.

Miss Bissell will '"â€" orator of the convention. re she has been she has njtfde * great impression as a "We have no open commercialized vice and very little pre titution in Los Angeles," said Mrs. Uce Stebblns Wells, the police woman from that Southern California city, to the Cur- rent Events class of the Congregation- al church in Evanston Sunday. 'Two years ago we cleaned out our levee district. If you determine that the city of Chicago shall be free from this vice it can be done. It will not be an easy task, but it is a possible task. And after you have eliminated ttie segregated district you will need to keep everlastingly at it. During the last Bix months in Los Angeles there were 217 arrests in behalf of the suppression of prostitution." Some of the members of the Current Events class did not agree with Mrs. Wells. Mr. Robert B. Ennis, who is the real estate agent of Northwestern university, insisted that the elimina- tion of the segregated district was the ultimate aim and desire, but that pub- lic opinion in Chicago had not been sufficiently educated to do that task thoroughly. Mrs. Wells said that the term, police work, meant more today than it ever did before. It meant not only the arrest of criminals, but the prevention of crime and the discovery and the elimination of the causes of crime. She said she had been appoint- ed two years ago and now Los Angeles J has three police women. Is Astonishing. 'It is astonishing," she added, "how little girls and working women know of the laws and what they ought to do in emergencies. You need some woman in an official position to whom they can go for advice and relief. A police woman does much better than a policeman in cases of wife abandon- ment and in caBes of wrongs to chil- dren and to young girls. "I have charge," Mrs. Wells said, 'of the bureau of the lost. In the last year I have found over 100 people who for some reason or other had strayed away from their relatives. The two police women under me visit the dance halls and the picture shows and the skating rinks. Our ordinances prohibit children under fourteen go- ing into any paid place of amusement without a parent or guardian. We don't at first arrest the parents who permit their children to go to such places; we warn them; we confer with them; we try to make them see it from qpr viewpoint. In the city of Los Angeles the saloons are limited in number. No women are allowed in them. There are no meeting places for men and women in the back of the saloons and that aids in the suppres- sion of prostitution." MANY AT CHURCH TO SEE ROOSEVELT Theodore Roosevelt did not visit Ev- anston Sunday as was expected. It was announced in Chicago Saturday that he would spend the evening in Evanston as the guest of John C. Shaffer and attend the First Metho- dist church service In the morning. Believing he would be present a large throng attended the church, while many remained on the outside to get a glimpse of the big Bull Moose. But while they were waiting the colonel was twelve miles away, in at- tendance at the Grace Reformed church in Chicago. He was accompan- ied at the service by his cousin. Philip Roosevelt, who is one of his traveling companions. North Shore Cleaners 'leaning ing OUR WORK IS Orders Called For a*4 J Delupsred Promptly 808 DemSffer Street Evanston.

Paul, city edi- tor of the Evanston Index, took a suit of clothes to the tailor to be cleaned. Friday he called up the tailor and told him to deliver them to his home, 2227 Harrison street, and to place them on the back porch between the screen and the kitchen doojs. He stated that he would not be home until late. The tailor obeyed the order and the clothes were carefully concealed, as per the order of the editor. A few- minutes later the lanndrymah afrrred^ with the lattndry. Seeing the clothes done up in a bundle he surmised that they were left there for him.
