HOBBS INSURANCE BILL KILLED.


state 9cCuAttACSs
.Jackson.-The Hobbs bill, requiring
life insurance companies to invest rs
per cent of the legal reserve in Missis-
sippi securities, went down to defeat in
the senate Friday. 1t was opposed by
the life insurance interests and was Bit
terly fought. The bill came from the
committee with a favorable report.
The reports Of the senate and house
committees on universities and colleges
on the result of the investigation of the
State University ut Oxford were pre-
scented to each house. The senat COM
mittee's report was favorable to the
present management Of the university.
The house committee submitted a ma
jority and a minority report. The ma
jority report criticized in a mild way
some of the acts Of the university au-
thorities.
The house bill appropriating $4,000 az
a supplemental school fund was passed.
This is intended as u test OF the school
provision of the constitution. The bill
provides that the money shall be placed
in the treasury and paid to the counties
where it is needed on an order from the
state superintendent of education. If
the courts hold that the act is constitu-
tional, it will solve one Of the school
problems of the state. If the act is held
valid, future legislatures will increase
the appropriation. The bill creating a
commission to- select a site for a Mis-
sissippi building at the San Francisco
exposition was passed by the senate.
The senate passed the house bill APP
propriating $500 for a monument to
the women Of the ~Confederacy, to be
erected in front Of the state capitol.

ing in the discharge Of their respective
duties. We, therefore, commend him
and them, and characterize as utterly
frivolous and unfounded the charges of
extravaganza and acknowledgement which
this committee was called upon to in
vcstigate.

work by the hour and pays by giving
food to many mothers who can only
leave their little ones a short while
every day. All the house work of the
Charity house is done by these women.
Much Milk Given Out.
The matron gives out many quarts
of milk daily to families who other
wise would not be able to furnish their
babies with good pure milk. This pre-
vents much illness.
Then comes the great bU-iness of
the relief work. Much of it is to help
fathers or mothers to provide for their
little ones, TO help them over an i'll
ness or streak of bad luck until they
can become self supporting again.
Inc laundry, where incompetent
women are taught to wash and iron, is
the great means the charity has to
help those mothers to provide for their
babies, who are unable to do so be-
cause of ignorance. After learning the
lessons Of the laundry, these women
may go out and do work in private
homes and earn good wages. This
is charity in its broadcast sense.
Baby Ready For Good Home.
Did you read in the papers about
the women who begged the superin-
tendent to find her a baby2 "A nice
baby from a nice family" Well, that
little baby has just arrived in the
world. 1t was born at the county hos
pital and the mother, having several
other children to support and her hus-
band having died, is very willing and
happy to give up her baby to such a
good home as it will have.
There are several orders for babies
on the Charity association books which
il hopes to be able to fill.
Faith, hope, charity and the great
est of these is charity" What a 10y to
the workers when these things in the
every day affairs of the association
work out so beautifully and what hap
piness there should be in the hearts OF
all those whose money helps to ac-
cOmplish these things.
Seeking Sick Babies.
As the workers go out to look up
some family in need they are constant
~ on the watch for sick babies They
visit many homes inquiring for the
sick. When they find one the mother
is induced to take it TO the clinic, or to
the nursery. Sometimes the mother
says with it at the nursery until her
fears for its welfare are allayed by
the care she sees it receives.
The mothers are urged to bring
their little ones every Sunday morn
ing to the Charity home, where they
have facilities for bathing the chill
dren.
Thus the charity in all its depart
ments reaches out its arms to save the
babies of FL Paso who may be hungry,
neglected or sick.
