Colonel Tucker occupies a respobzible post in the army. that of paymaster general of the department of the Takes.

The aim of the friends of the de- pendent children is the enactment of legislation providing for their care. This aim is heartily eudorsed by the president. FHe is thoroughly in favor of bills pending in the senate and house of representatives providing such care for the dependent children in the District of Columbia and the territories, the only sections of the country for which congress may enact such laws. These bills will serve as examples for the rest of the country, it is hoped. Before the conference. at its meet- ing in the White House on Jan, 25 and subsequently the president ex- pressed the greatest interest in its work. The conference, which was composed of well known philan- thropists and sociologists from all parts of the United States, assem- bled in Washington at his invitation and its sessions were formally opened by him in a long address. The president gave ris opinion that there could be no more important subject, from the standpoint of the nation, than the care of “the interests of those children whom cruel misfor- tune has handicapped at the very out- set of their lives.” He referred to the orphan, the crippled child, the child worker and the child temporarily parted from its parents by circum- stances.
