literally swamDed with the care OF such
children, and the board in their efforts TO
care for really deserving cases will be en-
tirely crippled. The establishment OF the
board was never Intended to encourage
such ofenses against morality and good
order. and yet that will be the result unless
some effective law Is enacted. Here "a q

the child, and asks that the public provide
for the result Of her own wrongdoing. Such

lenses. II ! did the court would be over
whelmed with such cases. This woman
must take care of the child herself. as lis

that there Is no law in force here by which
those legally liable for the care and support
Of their little ones can be punished for me-
