TO CARE FOR UNMARRIED
MOTHERS AND CHILDREN
Need Of District for an Agency Is
Discussed at Meeting of
Children's Council.

The need of the District for an agency
TOT the care Of unmarried mothers and
their children and of legislation pro-
nlolting the separation of any child
from its mother for the District, was
pointed out at a meeting of the chill
dren's council in the Juvenile Court
building yesterday afternoon. The
council. which was organized for the
discussion of home and sociological af-
fairs, and for the purpose of co-operat-
ing in work along those lines. met yes
terday to discuss the problem of the
unmarried mother. DR.. George l.. Jones
of the Baltimore Children's Aid Society
was she principal speaker.
DR.. Jones said thai all possible help
should be extended unmarried mothers
separated from them. He pointed out
that statistics show that practically
all children, whether illegitimate or
not, die before reaching the age of one
year when placed in founding asylums.
He also said that between 65 and 80
per cent of babies placed in other in
st1tut1ons, mostly private, where better
facilities are offered. die before reach
ing the age of one year.
In spite of this fact, however, he
stated physicians, ministers and promi-
nent women in Baltimore recommend
that all illegitimate children be placed
in founding asylums. The local or
ganization, while not taking definite
steps in this regard, wishes to point
out the evils of such a course.
The council meets at noon on the
third Wednesday of each month in the
Juvenile Court building. Judge ]. Will
mer Latimer is president and Miss Il. S.
Falk is secretary. Yesterdays meeting
| was a special one.

Those High School "Frats."
the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I am interested in the earnest dis
cussion that is going on in this city
over the question of "frats" in the pub
lie schools here. 1 was a professional
teacher for twenty years in the middle
west and feel that 1 want to indorse
the demand that teachers and patrons
here are making to have the so-called
"fraternities and "sororities'' barred
from the schools. These institutions
have no legitimate place in the COM
mon public schools of this or any other
city. To foster "frats.' with their dis
tracing and subversive tendencies, is
no part of the proper work of a public
school system. Dump them overheard
and with them all of the useless fan
tastic studies now burdening the chill
dren and teachers.

Mountain goats appear as riders of
galloping horses. Apes, chimpanzees,
monkeys and dogs also work iii the
act.
A quartette consisting OF a leopard,
lion, grizzly bear and goat, ride to-
gether in a very remarkable exhibit.
Another spectacle almost unbeliev-
able is a horse carrying men-eat1ng
African lions. These lions lead from
the ground onto the backs of running
horses and from ltlle backs OF the
horses through hoops of fire.
The horses and ponies ridden by
these wild animals are members OF
the Barnes troupe OF worlds premium
stock. This horse troupe numbers
$50 members and no finer. more beau
tiiul nor better educated horses exist.
Forty fun-making ponies, mules,
bears, elephants, dogs, goats and
monkeys provide the fun spots on the
program. They're real groudh dis
solvers.

used for many years by the physicians
and specialists of DR.. Pierce's In7alids'

eases arising from disorders of the
kidneys and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, CON
gestiou of the kidneys, inflammation
of the bladder, scalding urine, and
urinary troubles.
Up to this time, vAnuric" has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
persuasion of many patients and the
increased demand for this wonderful
healing Tablet, DR.. Pierce has finally
decided to put it into the drug stores
of this country within immediate reach
of all sufferers.
I know OF one or two leading drug
gists in town who have managed to
procure a supply of cAnuric" for their
anxious customers in and around this
locality. If not obtainable send one
dime by mail to DR.. Pierce for trial
package or so cents for full treatment.
