EXTRADITIoN ENFORCED.
During my term in office" said Mr..
Ryan, we stringently enforced the extra
dition law"
The foregoing figures and Mr.. Ryan's
statement lend color to the belief that
were the law of 1918 enforced n much
greater number of men could be influ-
enced to support their families: the extra
dition law would have to be invoked less
frequently, and when administered It
would prove more effective of the desired
results.
Mr.. Little. general secretary of the So
ciety for Organizing Charity, says: "If
both the compulsory support law and the
act of 1908, which makes desertion and
non-support n misdemeanor, could be en-
forced, it would have wonderful infiu-
ence upon hundreds of men and their
families in the County of Philadelphia"
1t would seem then that even where
the extradition law of 1903 is strictly en-
forced it still needs the enforcement OF
the stone pile law to effect any material
advantage either to the State or to the
individuals most nearly concerned-the
wives and children of the men who re-
fuse to support them.

one warm night only to wake up the

By and by the bird turned its tail
toward DIR. Bull Frog and he hoped

every time the fellow in the tree made
