SOUTHERNERF FOR
'WELFARE" CHIEF
Louisiana Woman Is Supported
for Appointment as Bureau
Head Under Wilson.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Mrs. Rob
Louisiana children. wants to be god
mother 10 the children of the nation,
and is being enthusiastically sup
ported for the head of the Children's
Welfare bureau when President-ele
Wilson makes the anticipated change
in this post
Miss Julia Lathrop. the incumbent,
has many friends working for her
to retain the position, but Mrs.
Wickliffe has succeeded in obtaining
the Endorsement of congressman, SEN
ators and governors of all political
creeds. Mrs. Wickliffe is the widow of
the late representative from Louisiana,
and has been prominent in the activi-
ties of congressional and Democratic
women.
The question appears to reVolve about
the problem whether a mother knows
more about the health, welfare and up
bringing of children than an unmar-
ried woman with necessarily second
hand knowledge, however well inten-
toned and trained in social settlement
work.
Mrs. Wickliffe, who is a Kentuckian
and prominent in social circles of the
South and the capital, was the origi-
nator of the famous Dolly Madison
breakfast for Democratic women last
spring. Her life has not been spent
in social pursuits, however, for she
has given special care and attention
to the treatment of babies, especially
those of the poorer classes.

ion City, has a love- balm receipt which
he declared today viii cure the most
desperate case, without the usual dis
astrous effects. He says, Let the girl
have you arrested 50 you can be real
angry with her, and thereafter you
will love her no more; but you will
surely love another. and TO the utter
exclusion of the first"
Joe sprang his unique love theory
before Judge Broyles in the police court
yesterday afternoon and the judge de-
clared: You're right, Joe; there are
more fish in the sea than were ever
caught out of it. Go forth and get you
another girl
Miss Russie Jacobs, seventeen years
old, of 10 Wellborn street. was the OBJ
ject of Joe's affection. He had loved
her long and in vain. until Tuesday
night he decided that the parting Of the
ways. the last straw, had come He
took his pen in hand and wrote Russie
a love note, reiterating oft repeated
protestations, and winding up with a
threat to steal her away. Going to the
house, he handed the girl the note
turned on ahis heel and walked away.
Then she had him arrested, because the
missive said Read when your head is
not hurting and answer, or you'll sure
ly be kidnapped"
Miss Jacobs is not unusually umOr-
Gus, but she declared to Judge Broyles
that Joe was man of his word and
she wanted him in the tolls of the law,
to which Joe replied with a smile and
then a laugh: "Aw. | was only foolin'
about the kidnapin | wouldn't hurt
her. But | loved her so much, judge,
that it hurt me whole lot, and l
threatened to steal her away just to
make her mad with me. She didn't
care a thing for me, and now I'm cured.
I'm ready to try conclusions with an
other girl"
Judge Broyles dismissed the case. Joe
said he would go back home. and Miss
Jacobs turned and walked away with
her real sweetheart, Frank Carroll, a
youth of the WelbOrn street neighbor-
hood, who had stood by at the hearing,
anxiously waiting to see what choice
the girl would make.
