In an address at London university
before the Child Study association on

Saleeby, an eminent English scientist,
stated that he had 1t on the highest
authority that the increase In infant
mortality since the war began was al
most entirely due to the fact that
mothers had been drinking more alc0-
hol-had, in fact, been using to kill
the future the money given by the ma
ton to save the future. "People do
not realize" the doctor declared, ''how
much of the finest food Is being de-
stroyed to make poison. 1t is the mad
dest thing you can imagine! There
are not enough ships to carry our COM
merce, yet many ships are being used
to bring to these shores the material
for making poison that our mothers
may buy at the corner of the street"
To illustrate the national need of
caring for children In their earliest

BOY TOOK CHANCE OFFERED
Indiana Judge Had Faith In Human
Nature, and II Was Not Mis-
placed on This OCCASION.

A judge sitting as the juvenile court
In an Indiana town was trying boy
on charge Of stealing stamps from
his employer. The evidence was pure
ly circumstantial. The boy had
cleared his employers desk and a
short time later he tried to sell to an
other employee the same number of
stamps that had been missed from the
desk. The Judge considered the evil
dence of the men who worked at the
same place and then called the police
man who arrested the boy.
"Now," said the court, "did either
of you see this boy take the stamps?"
"No, your honor, but the boy has
made full confession to us"
The court looked at the boy, who
WINGED slightly at this statement.
WELL" the court concluded, "that
may be. But I'm for absolute justice
In this court, and nobody saw the boy
take the stamps. The defendant is
discharged"
The next day the boy returned the
stamps to his Observation-Disclosures

found that "the fist Is the symbol OF
divorce and the bottle Its inspiration"
Liquor is responsible for more than
ten out of twenty cases. '"Those are
the tales" he says, "that do not get
display heads in news columns. They
are not important, they are not pic
turesque." Judge Kersren has spent
30 years "adjudicating criminal mat
tiers, from murder to splitting on the
sidewalk-and of it all, the blacklist,
the sorriest the saddest, are the d.
vorce cases."
And the states, most of them, go
on licensing the sale of the. stuff
