OF children under one year Of age who
died last year was over 375, 900. Know
ing that many Of these little ones died
from the ignorance Of their mothers
led the Congress of Mothers to estab-
lish special crusade in this direction.
Forces for Good Unite.
In most Of the large cities, branches
of the Congress. of Mothers affiliate
actively with the board Of health, the
physicians associations, the board of
education and the associated charities
The unity of the forces secures many
advantages. In connection with the
subject Of health the child welfare con-
ference will consider the possibility Of
child hygiene bureau as a part Of
the department Of health in every state
This bureau should supervise the
boards OF health in the different towns
and endeavor TO secure uniform regu-
lations-s The congress will also urge,
not only the birth registration re-
quired by the vital statistics depart
nlent, but also registration of the
health conditions of every child born.
The best means Of charging the
scope of the Juvenile court, the posi-
bilities of providing for the dependent
child by some means other than insti-
tutional, the enlargement of the pro-
baton system, the provisions covered
in the children's charter lately granted
in Great Britain and it's desirabiilty
in other countries. are among the sub
jects to be considered in connection
with The ErrIng and Dependent
Child"
Act Directly Upon the Home.
The mothers clubs, scattered so
plentifully in the rural districts, appeal
to the most conservative woman be-
cause they act directly upon the home
Their philanthropies are numerous and
varied, but all tend to improve some
condition affecting the " elfare of the
children Of the community During the
past year many of the clubs belonging
to the Congress of Mothers have be-
come especially interested in the good
roads movement because deep mud and
inaccessible roads hinder the cnfld's
attendance upon. school and church
Good roads make rural life happy. and
illiteracy cannot exist where school
and church privileges are within reach
OF every child. In one western village

Tears: Their Cause and Effect

tunity was offered to me IN a distant

that her happiness was more 10 me

ssNF COURSE" said the second
man. the great riddle of the
universe that no man ever
guesses is woman, but the very inner
part Of the mystery is the feminine tear
duet
What is the psychology Of woman's
tears? Why does she weep? What does
she weep about? Are her tears a mani
festation of joy or sorrow? And how
can you stop her from crying?
No man can answer these questions.
and trying to answer them has driven
many a poor fellow to drink.
Il admit that there are few points
about woman's tears that even the
laundering masculine intellect gets wise
TO in time. For instance, that a woman
cries in order to get her own way, or
when she is beaten in an argument
That is because experience has taught
her that there is some chemical in a
woman's tears that dissolves q mans
backbone and makes him melt down
into kind of mushy poultice that she
can d. with as she will
When I tell my wife that we can't
afford TO move into a more expensive
apartment. or buy a piano, or indulge
in some extravaganza that she has set
her heart on, am very firm until

eyes fill up with tears. and then I
reach for my check book, although I
am perfectly aware that 1 am being

Let Her Weep.
Still another thing mat it takes a
man years and years of experience in
matrimony to find out, is that when a
woman begins~to weep it is worse than
foxy, It is madness, TO try to stop her.
for instead Of tears being an affliction
to woman, the are a benediction.
Just what happens to a woman, men
tally and physically. during a good
cry, nobody knows. She doesn't her
self. but some miracle takes place that
washes all OF the anger and bitterness
and resentment out of her system. and
leaves her feeling like an angel Also
during the process her entire point OF
view Is changed.
Never shall I forget my first be-
wildering experience with this phase
OF woman's tears Soon after I was
