WANTS LAW FOR PARENTS
WHO DESERT CHILDREN

ST. LOUIS, FEB. amendment
OF the present laws OF Missouri so "a
to make fathers desortion OF his
children felony will be advocated
by the ST Louis Provident associa-
ton. Resolutions urging the enact
ment Of the proposed statute have
been adopted by the association aMl
will be sent To the legislature.
w H. McClain, general manager.
and other officers Of The association,
ascribe most Of the distress in large
cities TO the abandonment of children
Who afterward become public charges.
Under existing laws the offense is
merely a nfisdemcanor. which pre-
vents the authorities OF Missouri from
forcing by iequisitIon the return OF
offenders who leave The state.
The amendment suggested by the
Provident association would provide 4
fine of from $50 10 81 600 or imprison
ment for NOT more than one year as n
punishment for any man convicted OF
descrting his children.
