Judge Ben Lindsey has agreed
to write the amendment and in

lature and | will submit it to the
legislatures of the other 26 states.
The main object of this amend
ment it to relieve mothers of
work during at least part of the
period when the child needs the
nourishment that the mother
would not be able to give If 1t
were necessary for her to work.
Judge Lindsey went to Berlin
to investigate the mothers PEN
sion system. He says Germany
has tried this pension plan and
found it both economical and
highly humane.
The plan would decrease
the number of weak children
that would otherwise become
permanent public charges
and a burden to taxpayers.
The expense of maintaing in
situations for the care of feeble
minded and under-nourished chill
dren is becoming greater and

bearable burden to the taxpayers

This amendment, when en-

lives of millions of babies.

Registration has brought a
large part of the population of
Tacoma to the office just across
the hall from the council cham
Der, within the past week.
If the chamber had been occu-
pied by a moving picture show,
there would not have been seats
enough to accommodate all who
would have dropped in to see it
while in the city hall.
The Drake hearing, however,
has played to small house thus
far.
And yet 1t has been a show
worth seeing. There has not been
the fast and furious action that
movie-trained tastes demand; but
there has been plenty of plot and
an all-star cast.
First and foremost, there is the
council-chamber itself - long,
high. a little dingy, dominated by
the brilliant colors of a new flag
stretched on the wall above the
mayors dais.
The other commissioners
sit hunched around their
long table, in the sagging at
titudes of men who have sat
in the same chairs for long
time.
They hardly move, yet you
can tell that they are alive,
and awake. because every
once in a while they fire
question at a witness, and
their aim is good.
There are only three men sit
ting at the council table now. One
chair is vacant-the chair that
Commissioner Drake usually oc-
cupies.
To the left of the commission
ers, as the audience faces them,
are the attorneys, nervous, rest
less man who fidget and pace and
rustic their papers, and consult
with each other in low tones.
Then there are the Witnesses
some of them; the others are out
side the rail in the audience, like
actors enjoying the show from
the wings.

Arquett are in the picture, three
different types of the technical
