TEACHING OF MOTHERS
One of the Efforts of Florence
Crfttenton Mission.

Four mothers under sixteen years were
at the Florence Crittenton Hope and
Help Mission at one time during the last
year, according to the annual report just
submitted to the Board of Charities. The
report lays especial stress upon its work
of training the young and inexperienced
mothers to assume the responsibility.
Scores of young mothers were taken into
the home during the year and taught how
to care for their children.
There was a large deficit, owing to the
increased cost Of living. The report states
that the institution is caring for depend
ents at exactly the same rate II was
several years ago when the cost Of liv-
ing was much lower.
The report summarizes the work of
the institution as lending a helping
hand, giving shelter at time Of greatest
need, endeavoring to strengthen and
build up weak persons, training the IN
trained and helpless to become helpful,
and teaching the young mother to as
sumo her responsibility to her little one. "

Not for Letters.


Judge MuIlowny in the Police Court
yesterday told Mrs. Laura Jackson of
the difference between searehing~a hus-
bands pockets for money and for letters.

ing her husband, Elton Jackson, who
said his wife came at him like tiger
when she found a letter Said to have
been written by woman.
Mrs. Jackson. after the domestic rum
mage, had to go to the hospital and
remain there nearly a month. The court
held that she had received punishment
enough, but told Mrs. Jackson that a
woman who rummages through her hus-
bands pockets when he is asleep should
take what she gets
Some time ago court ruling obtained
that a wife who goes through her hus-
bands pockets for money when, he re-
fuses to properly support her was justi-
fed, but It appears this does not apply
to letters from other ladies'" The
case was dismissed.
