While three of her own children were taken from her by the Juvenile Court and turned over to the board of children's guardlans, who in turn farmed them out on a Virginia farm, Mrs. John Mead, the mother, was given children to board by the board of children’s guardians, and $20 a month, This was the testimony today of Mrs. Mead, mother of the fourteen- year-old boy who yesterday testified regarding the work he was forced to do on the Wickline farms, in Vienna, Va., before a subcommittee of the House District committee which Is conductina hearings on the Free bill to establish a parental court in the District. Could Have Kept Own, Mrs. Mead's argument was that if she had been granted this money for the support of her own children the family could have gotten along nicely and not have beén separated. In view of the fact the board of children's guardians had sent other children to her home to board she said she couldn’t see why her own children had not been allowed to stay with her under a similar arrangement. Helen Kenyon, twelve years old, 11v- ing at 600 B street northwest, told how she had been farmed out to the Reynolds family in Mount Rainier, with her two brothers, aged six and eleven. There were two other boys also boarding at the same place, aged five and six. Helen testified that these children slept in three beds in the attic where she said, it was very cold. Kept Out of Hou According to her story, she did the washing and ironing, washed dishes and did general housework. After ex- plaining that the children were living vith this family during January and allowed In the house except at meal times and when they were working. ivery night they stayed out until after dark or about 8 o'clock, until it was time for them to go to bed. Mrs. Kenyon, Helen's mother, sald that she was not in the destitute circumstances that the Assoclated Charities alleged. She had sufficient fumls to care for her children if lhn{ had been left with her, she sald. During the hearings, Judge Kath- ryn Bellers of the Juvenlle Court has been sitting at one end of the long tunity to present her side of the case. Representative Blanton of Texas ob- jected to Judge Sellers’ being allowed to sit In that position, and asked the cLairman of the subcommittee to stop her from interrupting proceedings. York.

NEW YORK, February 14.—~The most significant occurrence in today's financial markets was a renewed de- cline in French and Belgian exchange, accompanled by a general fall in French government securities, French francs once again got down below the 6-cent level and were within less than a quarter cent of their record low. The drop in government bonds was not as severe as that of a fort- night ago, but it brought the French dollar loan down over half the amount of their recent recovery. Undoubtedly this was the sequel to the pessimistic views expressed at the opening of the British parliament cver the French venture into the Rhur. It might have, of course, been sald ‘that British statesmen, having disagreed with the French attitude all along, were not likely to have a bet- ter opinion of it now. VISIBLE GRAIN SUPPLY.
