That ts, it cost three cents to give out one dollar. This is interesting in view of the fact that if many other forms of atd giving organizations it costs as much as one dollar or more to expend one dollar for reiiet.

That is to say, out of 5,000 families now being cared for, only 665 allow- ances have been continuous since the beginning of the law in 1916. In other words, the law has proved an expedient of rehabilitation, “a pub- lic provident financial machine whose grants carry them over the rough years after the decease of the husband, rather than a legislative contrivance for the be- stowal of permanent ‘pensions’ as it is popularly supposed to be.” The general results of the operation ia of the Child Welfare Law do not sub- stantiate former claims made by op ponents of the at the law would tend to number of ual dependa first one or tw measure widows voluntarily notify the Board that their cond us been , fundamental ‘{neumMicient Income of the family to @ living one.

The first thought of the boys of the Twenty-seventh Division will be to rush to the camp telephones to get in touch with those they left behind, but they will be unable to do this if the telephone lines designed primarily for the normal needs of the camps are con- gested by thousands of incoming calls. And, in addition, you will probably be unable to reach them because of the difficulty in locating an individual due to the immense areas of the camps, and the distances, in most cases, between telephone stations and quarters.
