B-12 a» 1 WELFARELEADERS DESEABE WORK Inauguration of Series of Neighborhood Conferences | Is Considered by Agencies. An extensive report dealing with vari- ous phases of child welfare and care, submitted by its child welfare commit- tee, and an address on child care by | Paul Beisser, director of the Henry Swanson Children’s Aid Society of Bal- timore, were features oi a Juncheon meeting of the Washington Council of Social Agencies in the Y. W. C. Building, Seventeenth and K streets, yesterday afternoon. The report of the childs welfare com- mittee, of which Miss Katharine F. Lenroot, assistant to the chief of the United States Children's Bureau, is chairman, was divided into several groups, cach general group study hav- ing been covered by a subcommittee of the child welfare committee. Copies| of the report. covering 16 printed pages, | were distributed to members of the council_for study. Mr. Beisser, who chose for his sub- Ject “Washington in Planning for De- pendent Chldren,” developed the thought that welfare agencies or others responsible should seek to put families on an independent economic basis, so that the children will not become 'de- pendent. It is much better to work on this principle, he said, than to care for | the children after they have become| dependent. Seek to Avoid Duplication. Another report considered of much importance to the council was that by Elwood Street, director of the Wash- ington Community Chest and chairman of the social service exchange commit- tee of the council, who reported that his committee has just finished havi 100,000 record case cards copied, giv- ing the names of persons who have re- ceived aid from the various agencies of the council. The preparation of the cards, it is pointed out, has been carried out with a view to avoiding duplication in work by the various social agencies by en- abling any individual agency to check with the social service exchange com- | mittee to see if a person applying for aid has received aid from another | , agency. | ‘The chairmen of three subcommittees engaged in compiling details of the re- port submitted by the child welfare committee made brief verbal repoits before the council after the general re- port had been submitted. Chairmen re- porting were Miss A. Patricia Morse. chairman of the subcommittee on vol- ume and distribution of dependency and delinquency; Miss A. Madorah Donahue, chairman of the subcommit- tee on intake case work, and Mrs. J. P.| 8. igh, chairman, and Miss Fay Bentley, vice chairman, respectively, of the subcommittee on prevention of de-| linquency and dependency. Reports of the three subcommittees, contained m the report of the general committee on child welfare. in addition to quoting statistics pertaining to vari- ous phases of their findings, contained a number of specific recommendations for action to alleviate certain condi- tions. The recommendations were sub- | mitted to the council for consideration. | Plan Series of Conferences. Outstanding among the recommenda- tions was one for the “inauguration, in ‘co-operation with the recreation com- | mittee, of a series of district or neigh- WHY | meet the needs of the children,” the A.| calendar year 1922, borhood conferences, beginning, 1 pos- | hible, in the late Spring of the present | year. - To these conferences would be invited representatives of citizens’ asso- ciations, parent-teacher groups, social agencies and organized recreation groups working in the District, and city-gvide groups which might be avail- able for service therein. The preval- ence of delinquency in comparison with other districts of the city, resources avaflable for its prevention and treat- ment, and for constructive service to all the children of the neighborhood. and possibly facts concerning child de- pendency, would be considered. and an attempt would be made to fill in the gaps which might be disclosed and ob- tain more complete organization to report read. The report on the volume of depen- dency and delinquency, “as of November 1, 1929,” showed a total of 4,051 depen- dent children, both white and colored included, being given,aid in their own homes and in_both public and private institutions. The report also describes in detail cases of dependents in the The report on delinquency showed a total of 1,423 for 1928, with incomplete statistics. PRESIDENT MAY ATTEND.

Shave 4y G I New and Better illette A new Blade A new Razor (PATENTS PENDING) THE GREATEST SHAVING IMPROVEMENT IN 28 YEARS ILLIONS of faithful, well-worn Gillettes are now going to win an honorable discharge. Sure—they’re good old razors! And if you have to wait for your dealer to get his supply of the New Gillette Razor, your old Gillette will operate with the new blades. But once you have tried the New Gillette Blade in the New Gillette Razor you will never be satisfied to shave with anything else! Many important changes What have we done to the Gillette Razorand the Gillette Blade? Not just one thing, or two things, or three. We have made a dozen important changes which, when you add them all together, make an entirely new and greatly improved shaving tool. Take “‘razor pull,” for example. Do you know why your old Gillette “‘pulled’’? Perhaps you blamed the blade; but the fault was not in the blade. Our laboratories examined tens of thousands of used razors; our engineers talked to twenty-seven thousand hard-to-satisfy shavers. What did they find? A razor “pulls” because its working parts have been dropped and dented on floor or wash basin. Perhaps the dent is microscopic. Just the same it makes a difference. When you handle a Gillette, you are dealing with a fine precision tool. Even the smallest dent can throw it out of alignment. Hence “pull.”” Now look at the corners of the new razor. See those heavy lugs? You can’t dent those corners by any ordinary acci- dent. But suppose, by some terrific abuse, you should dent them. Never mind. The ends of the blade have been cut out. The blade is no longer held at the corners. Therefore, a dented razor-corner can’t possibly affect the smoothness of your shave. No more blade wiping Another thing. The new blades are processed to resist rust. Think what that means in convenience and time saving. No more do you have to take the razor apart to wipe the blade. No more cut towels. Just loosen. Turn guard at right angles. Then re-tighten. Hold under hot running water for rinsing. Shake well. Lay on the shelf. The old posts are gone. How many a good edge was lost by bumping against those posts. Now the razor blade turns at right angles for rinsing. No taking apart for cleaning.

They glide over the skin like velvet. You hardly feel the razor slide over your face. See the ends of the blade . . . square not round. Much easier to handle with slippery fingers. Less chance of having to fish for the blade down the drain pipe. And, being almost flush with the cap, the blade shaves much better around the difficult corners of the mouth, ears, and nose. The famous guard channel beneath the blade edge allows the blade to meet the beard full and clear, yet with per- fect safety. This has hitherto been an exclusive feature of high priced Gil- lettes selling at $5.00 to $75.00. Now you have it in the $1.00 model. See your dealer today Gillette factories are working at capacity to supply all dealers as soon as possible. See your dealer today. Tomorrow he may be sold out ... an inconvenient delay for you. Give your face this good news now! All of which means that for 81 you can buy the greatest shaving improve- ment, the biggest money’s worth in shaving comfort that has been offered in the past twenty-eight years.
