Moral Standard i Of Women Lower, ( Worker Reports H tate Bureau Works in Smrerv And Finds Conditions Appalling Uome At . York Is Full. i Lincoln, June 29. (Special.) "Has the fight of woman against the double standard of morals resulted in the single standard and does the single standard mean that man has raised his standards or woman has lowered her standards to meet that of man?" This was the question asked Miss M. E. Taylor, in charge of the social health section of the state depart ment of health. "I am afraid that many women arc lowering their standards," Miss Tavlor answered. "The spread of social disease in Nebraska is appalling," Miss Taylor said, "and there is much work ahead of us." This department, buried in a se cluded room in the state house, gives out little public information. Only through secrecy in dealing with these cases is the department able to obtain co-operation between fathers and mothers and relatives of young girls suffering from disease. York Home Full It was admitted today that ' the home for women at York was full, and it is known that the state depart- tions to take patients in an effort to effect a cure. " . "It really is a shame that the false modesty which for years has cov ered these ills of humanity cannot be shorn entirely and the time will come when it will," Miss Taylor said. "The government'! fight against these ailments in the war has done much to bring the public meiv ace to the attention of the public and in time we will discuss these diseases with the freedom and lack of self-cousciousness that we dis cuss other public menaces, such as typhoid and smallpox." For that reason the work of this department, which has reached into the social fabrics of numerous Ne braska towns, hasn't been made known to the public in general. Complaints against druggists and parents and others have been nu merous in a dozen Nebraska towns in the last few months. Ignorant girls, who unknowingly have been a menace to small communities in the state, are now under treatment. Call Mass Meeting.

"Is the war responsible?" Miss Taylor was asked. "Not so much as the cessation of old-fashioned home life in which the children found pleasures in frolics in the neighborhood and under supervision of their parents," reolied. "The automobile bas made the tic ince hall in riiothertcwn as easy to reach s aiieighbor 'a front yard m the old days. . . Illicit Liquor Blamed for Death in Auto Accident , Columbus, Neb., June 29.
