MOTHERS PENSION LAW.

Hundreds Of women Of Michigan
have in the past few weeks sought
enlightenment concerning the PROV
isions Of mothers pension act which
is supposed to go into effect on Au-
gust lst, 1913
An act Of this nature is alleged to
have been passed at the last session
Of the state legislature. There is,
however, no act placed upon the sta
tutc books Of the state, which defin-
itcly sets aside pension for mothers
in INDECENT circumstances. There is
a law. however, which may be con-
sidered a. such, though it bears small
resemblance TO the mothers pension
laws in force in other states.
Senate bills Nos. SO and 81, intro
duced by Senators ANDERSON ana
James on January 26th. 1913, secured
the amendment Of AN act to define
and 10 regulate the treatment and
control of dependent, neglected and
delinquent children" 50 as to provide
for the relief Of poor mothers of de-
pendent and neglected children and -
define the Jurisdiction of probate
courts, etc.
This bin passed the legislature dur
ing the rush and hustle of the closing
days Of the session and nothing defn-
tie concerning it's provisions had been
announced.
The bill, though falling short in the
scope of it's benevolence as compared
with acts of other states, is none the
less a progressive piece of legislation
and should bring much relief in its
! application throughout the state. 1t
provides for the payment of a small
sum 20 worthy mothers who are toe
poor to properly care for their chill
dren, yet In whose charge the chit
dren should remain, and also that the
counties in which these children re-
side shall at times when 1t becomes
necessary place them in a hospital OF
institution for proper care and treat
ment.
The provisions Of the amendment
re- as follows:
When any child under the age of
II years shall be found to be depen-
dent or neglected, within the mean
Ing Of the act. the court may make
an order committing the child to the
care of some suitable institution OF
to the care Of reputable citizen, or
training school, or Industrial school"
Then comes the provision that can be
construed as the mothers pension law
as follows:
provided, That if the mother OF
such dependent or neglected child is
unmarried or is widow, or has been
deserted by her husband, or il mar
ried has been divorced, and is poor
and unable 20 properly care and pro-
vide for said child but is otherwise
a proper guardian, and it is for the
welfare of such child to remain in

morning, when a sesamoid bone was
