result, particularly in keeping fewer chill
dren from coming before the juvenile
court and before the public in such an
unfavorable light
And how will you go about bringing
this state of affairs to pass?" l inquired.
Through the Associated Charities of
Birmingham. The whole of charitable
needs will be studied from every view
point, and comprehensive plan to meet
these conditions devised and executed, >"
replied Miss Holmes. 'The number of
dependent families in Birmingham will
be known. and just what particular kind
of help is needed in each individual case.
Delinquent and defective children will be
found and in each case, according to their
condition, will charity be extended. Then
the large numbers of family assertions,
which seem to be occurring more fire.
quently than ever before, will be re-
ported and the cause of these deser-
lions will be ferreted out, and the proper
methods of suppressing the evil will be
resorted to, all of which you see covers a
large territory in the field of charity
And does the great white plague come
within the range of the Associated Chart
ties?' I asked.
Ion, yes said Miss Holmes, that and
other malignant diseases. Many and
sometimes all of these problems face
the Associated Charities workers in at
tempting to deal with the poor of this
great city, and it Is our earnest de-
sire to reach every reedy case that it
is possible to find"
I'm other cities l have observed that
the playground question for children is a
most important factor In the Associated
Charities work." I suggested.
"a child without playground is father
to the man without a job was the re-
ply, land the city should provide play
grounds by all means in proportion to
their necessity. Yards are not sufficient
for playground, but acreage comes into
this important question. There is a suf-
ficient public appreciation OF this matter
already and the work OF the Associated
Charities will be to take over this move
ment and carry 1t forward by trying to
bring about such support and control as
is deemed necessary"
And in conclusion let me beg con-
tinued Miss Holmes; "that when our sec
rotary arrives next week the good peo-
pie of Birmingham will lend their gener-
GUS support to him in his work with the
Associated Charities, and tnus enable all
to work together that we may at least
not undo or overdo each others tasks;
and also that we may gain, the assur-
anoe of helping those in need adequately
and permanently"

MORE RIOTS OVER
KOSHER BOYCOTT

New York, April 12.-1he boycott
against Kosher butcher shops today
spread from Harlem and the Bronx
where it originated across the East
river to Williamsburg, Brownsville and
East New York. All meats advanced
1 cent a pound wholesale. The protest
against high prices is spreading more
pidly than any similar movement re-
membered in New York city. Already
95 per cent of the butcher shops in
the city, supplying "a population OF
10000, have been either forcibly closed
or have shut in sympathy with the
movement. In turn the butchers say
they cannot sell liver and kindred
meats unless the wholesale companies re-
duce their prices.
Agitators from Harlem and the Bronx
went through the newly affected dis.
tricts last night and their success was
seen when the butchers tried to open
up for business this morning. There
wild disorders and much damage was
done in the way OF broken glass and
meats spoiled with kerosene.

ECUADOR AND PERU
MAY SECURE PEACE

Washington April 12.-The resgna-
ton of DR.. FIR. X. Aguirre Jado as
minister of foreign affairs, at Ecuador,
and the appointment of Mr.. Peralta to
the vacancy, news of which was re-
ported to the state department today,
Is regarded in Quito as a long step
in the direction of a peaceful solution
of the difficulties existing between Ecu
ador and Peru. Peralta up to the time
of his appointment was governor of
one of the Ecuadorean provinces and is
said to be popular with all classes
A dispatch from quito, received at
the state department today, intimates
that other changes in the cabinet will
still further advance the prospects of
peace.
Another element tending to tranquil
ity Is the fact that the Peruvian note
sent to Ecuador few days ago de-
handing satisfaction for the outrages
committed on the Peruvian legation
and consulate in Ecuador was greatly
modified.

POSTAL BUSINESS
SHOWS INCREASE

Washington, April 12.-Basing his con-
illusions on the auditors returns of
postal receipts and expenditures for the
first half of the current fiscal year and
upon preliminary returns for the third
quarter of the year which -closed March
81, Postmaster General Hitchcock pre-
dcted today that the first year of the
present administration would show de-
crease of over $10,00O,000 in the deficit of
81, 4s0, 600 handed down from the preced-
ing year.
The deficit for the first half of the
current year was s4,o72,0O0 as against
$40, 2S5, 600 for the first half of last year.
a reduction of over 100000 in SIX
months
The recent publication Of the auditor
returns for the quarter ending Decemper
81 disclosed the fact that the services had
been conducted during that period at an
actual profit of s2,115,0o0 the largest sur
plus recorded, 1t is, stated, for any quar-
ter in the history Of the department.
Postmaster General Hitchcock expressed
the belief that the final figures for the
quarter ending March 81 also wouid
show surplus of close to S,0oOOOo. The
final quarter of the year ending June 20
next, IN winch nedNy cApohuie" -
the service will fall is likely, Mr.. Hitch
cock says, to show a deficit, but as ex-
penditures are now running he expects
the deficit to be exceptionally small when
this Is applied.
The postmaster general said he would
not be surprised II the excess of expen-
ditures over receipts for the entire year
should be as low as s5,0o0,0Oo. which
would mean, he declared, the wiping out
OF over $12000,000 of deficiency IN the
postoffice department OF twelve months
ago. The officers Of the department at
tribute the extraordinary reduction en-
ergy shown In the rate OF expenditures to
certain radical reforms that were intro
.duced at the opening of the calendar
year in the methods of handling the
nostal business.

Holmes earnestly. by the social work.
ers the Importance of the family relation
has long since been recognized. They are
unwilling to separate mother and child,

of the fathers relation to the family"

"You see the school, recognizing this fact.
is endeavoring in every way to strengthen
and not weaken the family relation. The
school doctor taking time by the forelocS
sends forth the word to the anxious
parent of the presence in her child of
physical disability and disease. This
leaves the matter of dealing with the
conditions within the parental borders.
Then there is the school nurse, who
gives instruction and leaves the parent
to face more definite responsibility.

DEMOCRATS HAVE
PAID POLL TAXES
DETERMINED FIGHT TO BE MADE
TO CAPTURE NINTH VIR-
GINA DISTRICT.

BRISTOL, Tenn, May 11.-When
the time expired for the payment of
poll taxes as means of qualifying
voters in the Ninth Virginia district
for the November election, the Dem.
ocrats retired from their activities
along that line, feeling that they had
not neglected their duty. The impress
sion from reports received from over
the district is that there is not Dem
ocratic voter who has not qualified
for the coming election, and with this
feeling the Democrats Of the district
are going to enter the contest with
the hope of electing the Hon. Henry G.
Stuart to Congress.
But they are not unmindful of the
fact that the Republican organization
is a most complete and thorough one
and was very active in the matter of
seeing that all members OF their par
ty paid their capitation taxes within
the time limit
The indications are that the largest
vote ever cast in the district will. be
polled, as each party is determined to
make the most strenuous fight in the
history of the district.
