A MOTHERS PENSION
Has Been Suggested in the
State Of Texas.
american News Servicc)

San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 21.-That
mothers who are left with family OF
children without means to send them
to school until they are sixteen years
old should be pensioned by the state
was position taken by the Woman's
Federation of Clubs at a meeting
Thursday. The club women also went
further and declared that as society.
is organized today children have no
childhood, social engagements and So
cial functions making them dwarf
men and women when they should be
playing games of children out In the
open and attending school without SO
many things to attract attention and
unfit them for receiving education.
The Federation of Clubs OF this city is
acting pursuant to action taken by
the state federation in It's annual meet
ing here some weeks ago. 1t Is the in
tention of the women OF the state to
ask the present legislature to pass q
law legalizing pensions to mothers.
and it is understood that lobby of the
brightest women of the state will
spend much time in Austin urging the
passage of this measure. In connec-
ton with this also the club women Of
Texas are urging most humane child
labor law and taking much interest in
a movement to ameliorate the condi-
ton of child life throughout the state.
They declare that the condition Of chill.
dren today is largely the fault of the
mother and assert that h0ya and
girls become demoralized and wreck
their physical health by too much So
cial activity, and also that those de-
pendena upon the mother alone for
support are put into the active duties
of life at an age when they should be
in school and engaging in those things
which insure useful manhood and wo-
manhood. That the thoughtful moth
ers OF Texas are very much in earnest
in this movement is emphasized by
the fact that the State Federation OF
Clubs gave it SO much attention that
the club life throughout the stae has
been SIRED to activity and earnest
ness along this line. 1t is admitted
that it will be difficult to get legisla-
tors to take the mother pension seri-
ousIy, but the women of the state, and
particularly those of San Antonio, are
determined to push this matter until
their efforts are crowned with sue
cess.

too much for them, and on December

st. Paul Island, the men took to their
small boats.
From their island refuge the sailors
attracted the attention of the steamer

One of the innovations to be tried
at the tournament is the plan of hav.
ing the individual bowlers roll in pairs

This change is expected to result in the
saving of more than an hour each day
in running off the individual events
and will make the work much easier
on the bowlers.
