WHERE MONEY SHOULD FLOW

The Chldren's Home society OF
Cairo, with the aid of States Attorney
Wilson, made noble and a success
full fight yesterday before Judge
Dewey in the juvenile court, to save
two children. a boz. and girl, from
their depraxed mother. The story II
told in the news columns elsewhere
as much of it as can be told. The
details developed at the trial are too
revolving to be printed and aAowed
the mother, Mrs. Gill, to be utterly
unfit to have the custody of her
little ones. The society took them
from her some months ago. because
she was living in bestial state of in
timacy with negroes. and was per
hitting negro men to act familarly
toward her little girl. Complaint was
made to the authorities by DR.. Fields
who was attending the woman pro
fessionally and who foresaw that
harm would come 10 the little gil If
she were not taken away, and the
DR. deserves credit for making report
of the matter. The children were
taken away by the order of the court
and given over to the care of the
probation officer. Mrs. A Comings.
who placed Them in the Children S
Home.
