MAJORITY OF DETECTIVES
AT LARGE IN DISTRICT
Adequate Provision for Their Care
Is Urged by Federal Chill
dren's Bureau.

Fifty-four per cent of 19S individuals
90 defective mentally as to need institu-
tional care are at large in the District
Of Columbia under varying conditions OF
helplessness and neglect. declares re-
port of the federal children's bureau is
sued today.
Adequate provision for the best modern
care of the feeble-minded In the capital
city of the nation is strongly urged 1t
is pointed out that such care would be a
financial economy. In addition, the
social economy that must result from the
prevention of transmission of defect can
not be estimated in figures, but it is
hardly to be questioned that the invest
ment would result in savings compounded
with each generation"
The District has at present no insti-
tuition for the care of such cases, and
this study was made to secure as COM
plete an enumeration as possible of mental
detectives Of the District who may be
assumed to need the protection of an in
stitution. Only those cases were included
concerning whom information could be
obtained from public and private agencies,
teachers. physicians and others dealing
with detectives.
Only II per cent are reported as under
proper care: 81 per cent are in institu-
tions not equipped for their care or board
ed out. and "a per cent are at large in
the community under varying conditions
of helplessness and neglect.
Two hundred and seventy-two cases are
those OF children under fifteen years Of
age. Only very small percentage of
these children are maintained in training
schools for the feeble minded in neigh
boring states.

Talking Sickness

Your liver may be out OF joint,
your spare ribs raw and sore; you
NAV be driven to anolnt your
spavins more and more, but talk
OF more uplifting things than
aches and fell disease; discuss the
mockingbird that sings its rag
time in the trees. The dreariest
OF human bores is that one who
explains the facts about his aches
and sores. his bunions and his
sprains. He tires us with his tales
OF bile that runs in turgid brooks.
and every one will spring a smile
when he goes off the hooks. I've
ALWAYS found that those who
spelled OF pains that never ceased,
until the hearers blood congealed,
were those who suffered least.
The martyrs with rheumatic
limbs, whose life should be a
curse. are often busy singing
hymns because things are no
worse. But talking of the ills
that make your nervous system
Jump won't drive away throb-
bing ache or cure single mump.
Twill only bore the friends you
have. their peace your whining
spoils: so talk OF songs instead OF
salve. of books instead of boils.
