ORIGINATED BY JONAH, (Rl nd Times- Dispatch). The t'fish commonly mistaken for a. whiale had just cast Jonah: up on the dry land. Thereupon Jonah, desiring to im- press his ‘memory upon man for all time, sat down on a rock and medi- tated. “Having done this stunt,” he said spective smaller bo¥s was | {0 himself, “I must get some pubs licity out of it. What I need is' a commient on my experience that will be widely read and pasted into scrap books.” After long deliberation he called or. i fi uor. ,\“bup the nearest newspaper office, got Y. M. C. A. Bldg. the star repo;ter on the line, and sald: “Say, this is Jonah. Just quote me as saying: ‘You can’t keep a good man down.'" And to this day it is said the same as Jonah sald it HIS PROGRESS, (From the Kansas dity Star.): "How are you coming along a- sparking of Miss Ducky Dodd?” in- quired' a swiin of the Fiddle Creek region, “Finer than frog hair!” was the tri- umphant answer. ‘I ‘didn’t do any pertickler good with the girl till her maw took and flung a dipper of biling water on me. That helped some, and when her paw kicked me off'n the porch and took a shot or two at me as I defunct out of there, that (cttled it. I'm pl'mb nuq wmx Ducky now!" GRID ETAR IS HONORED. ‘Washington, Dec. 16.—Joe 'rhomn- son, the “fighting Irishman,” who cnp&lned‘the University of Pittsburgh flmmfl«flfl-&«x AS SLIPPER SALE} Sllppers For Men and Women AT EXCEPTIONALLY LOW PRICES, QUALITY CONSIDERED ', | serious 1 3 Because of the specialization of crops » and the density of population, periods g welfare of the unemployment period last winter in & middle western and a New England city, and Miss Abbott states her conclusion that the low- ered standard of care for children during such a period must resuit in permanent losses to the community. In these cities many families having two or more children were spending less than $60 a month, including store credits. In one of the cities a budget estimate of the amounts of food, clothing, fuel, and sundries required’ for families of different size and age il | had been prepared by a large manu- facturing firm, and for half the fami- lies In which comparisons were made the average monthly receipts from all sources during the unemployment per- fod, including relief, wére less than 50 per cent. of this estimate. Although work was very difficult to secure, nearly a third of the mothers inéluded in the study had taken gain- ful employment; the mothers of 102 children under 6 years of age and of 164 between the ages of 6 and 13 were working outside their homes. A num- ber of children under 16 had left school for employment after thelr own and many other fathers were out of work. Pensioning Mothers. Pensioning mothers, so that depend- ent children can be cared for in their own homes, has been generally ac- cepted as a principle of public aid, according to the report. There is, however, much variation in the extent to which mpthers' pension laws serve their purpose. But in the District of Columbia no such provision has been made. The Children's Bureau found that of 2,444 children under the su- pervision of the District Board of Children’s Guardians in the course of a year, 982 came from , homes which the father was dead, was evad- ing his responsibllity, or was an in- ~| mate of an institution, leaving the mother with the entire burden of fam- ily support and care. The report con- | 3 cludes that with some help many of. these mothers could have maintained their homes and cared for their own children. In North Dakota and South Dakota, where the Children’s Bureau made studies of dependent and delin- quent children at the request of state commissiong, a need was shown for the development of child-caring and protective wor in rural and small- town communities, = Children were found to be deprived of care by their normal guardians when their homes might have been preserved through financial assistance, or through such supervision| as would safeguard the children's welfare. Among 414 chil- dren recelved under the permanent care of various agencies in North Da~ kota, only one had lost both parents by death, and many children weré re- moved from the custody of their par- ents without court action, or thé au- thorization of a public agency. One of the important events of the year which the report records is the agreement by the natlonal conference of commissioners on uniform state laws upon a uniform act for the sup- 1. port of children born out of wed- lock, and the -recommendation of this act to the states (for adoption. It provides that the parents of such children owe them ' ‘“maintenance, education and support,”—-a provision which the report declares would be a long step forward in most of the stutu where the viewpoint of a cen- | tury ago has been left on the statute books, though no legal action can provide “what every child needs, both | } a father and mother.” Year's Survey. Reporting on a year's survey of- 3 t | conditions affecting children in Porto Rico, Miss Abbott states that unem- s ployment and underemployment are problems in that fsland. Three-fourths of the total value of its| crops is supplied by sugar cane, ‘dof- fee and tobacco, and Porto Rico has the anomalous position of an agri- cultural ecountry importing its food. of general unemployment have re- sulted in poverty such that many es- gentials in proper child care cannot be provided.
