| New York has just stepped into the
| ranks of those states putting INDECENT
widowed mothers on its payrolls The
law took effect July /, and it is esti-
mated that in New York city alone
there are upward of 1900 widowed
mothers and perhaps three times as
many children to be provided for. No
larger sum may be given to any moth
er, according 70 this law, than would
support her children in an asylum.
This means $40 a month for each mi
nor child, for that is the amount Of
board paid by the state for the board
of each orphaned boy and girl.
This law does not include cases
where the family has resided less than
two years in the county or where the
father was not citizen at the time of
his death. Besides New York, the
mothers pension law goes into effect
this year in Tennessee, Wyoming and
Arizona. In these four states at least
1900 families will be reunited and
three times as many children taken
from public Institutions.
Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts and New Jersey, with
varying limitations and allowances,
already had such laws.
Mrs. Hartman has been appointed to
serve as a member of the new state
child welfare board of nine members
for the term of eight years after hay
ing served for the past two as mem
Der of the federal commission on in
dustrial relations.
This principle of pensioning INDECENT
widowed mothers Denmark, the coun-
try of economists and scientists, finally
arrived at as the one solution to the
problem of dependent children. 1t has
alleviated community charge to the
of that government. In
other countries it has been similarly
successful. Just before the war France

pose-home care of dependent children

Cheap Paint

There are 1000 "cheap" paints ind
a dozen really cheap ones.
That double word "cheap" is the
cause of wasting more money than
good paint costs, two or three times
ever.
Cheap paint is good paint; there is
70 other; no other is cheap.
The two words sound alike but
their meanings are opposite. "Cheap"
costs double. Cheap is Devoe.
