CARE OF DETECTIVES
Institutions for Training Of Chill
dren Are Needed.
Uncle Sans Experts Say This VIII
Help Lessen the Burden Of De-
pendeney and Delinquency.

protect the defective children, pro-
gIde for their training and proper care,
and you win lessen the burden of de-
pendency and delinquency This is
the glst Of the advice contained in n
report on mental detectives issued by
the children's bureau of Uncle Sans
department of labor, and appearing
with special timeliness now that war
conditions may tend to make more se-
rlous the problem of delinquent and
dependent children.
The report is based on a study Of
the social conditions of 212 mental de-
fectlves In New Castle county, Della
ware. A total of 175, or more than
four-fifths of these, were In need Of
public supervision or institutional care
because of bad home conditions, phys
ical helplessness, o. pronounced anti
social tendencies, and only II Of them
were provided for In an institution
adapted to their care. Twenty-six of
the defective children were in indus
trial schools for delinquent children,
and of these the report says:
institutions for the care of delin-
quent children are greatly handicapped
by the presence of detectives, since
they require special attention and ex-
ert a bad influence over the normal
children. After a short period of resi-
dence these detectives are returned TO
the community without sufficient su-
pervision."
Other defective children with delin-
queRcy records were at large in the
community; in all, 9S of the 212 defec-
tlves studied were delinquent or inn
moral or difficult to control.
The report suggests that, while any
program for the care Of mental defec-
tives must have as its central feature
suitable institutional provision offer
ing training or custOdial care accord
ing to the needs of the individual,
other activities are equally essential.
1t is pointed out, for example, that in
stitutional care is not necessary for
all mentally defective children, for,
contrary to the popular impression, 1t
who safely can remain at home pro-
vided they have the attention and
study which they deserve. However,
special provision should be made for
their safety, care and education, and
'Out-patient work of an institution for
the feeble-minded, in cooperation with
schools, social agencies and families,
is referred to as a new and important
method of providing in the most hui
name possible way for such children.
The possibilities of Industrial train
ing by which certain types of defec-
tives may gradually become in part
self-supporting and the importance of
facilities for mental exami-
nation and diagnosis of doubtful cases
are also brought out in the report.

An agent of Uncle Sans bu-
reau of fisheries, engaged in the
work of inducing the people of
the South Atlantic states to
make proper use Of neglected
fishery resources, recently gave
an interesting demonstration in
Raleigh, n. c., on the occasion
of dinner given by the cham
ber of commerce in honor of a
distinguished visitor. At the
conclusion of the banquet the
bureaus representative, G. Ar
thur Orr, made some remarks
about his work and asked for
an expression of opinion regard
ing the fish course. There was
nothing but praise for the dish
that had been served, and it
was not until Mr.. Orr made his
announcement that anyone at
the dinner was aware of the
fact that the dish was creamed

MUST LOAD CARS TO
MINIMIZING CAPACITY
FLOUR RUNS 10000 LBS, FRESH
MEATS AND BUTTER 10000,
GRAIN TO CAR CAPACITY.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14-Because of
the immense amount of government
and commercial traffic to be moved.
the Commission on Car Service of the
Railroads War Board urges that a
more active campaign be conducted
by all railroads to secure maximum
loading of freight cars.
ID. 4. Forsyth. vice chairman Of the
Chicago Car Service Committee, said
today:
Contrary to the impression Of
some shippers, maximum loading Of
freight cars is not effected by the U.
S. Food Administrations rules now
in effect governing the importation,
manufacture, storage and distribution
of food commodities for domestic
trade.
Those rules establish minimum
trade units for buying and selling.
They provide that carload shipments
Of certain commodities shall be made
in lots of not less than a certain
weight, unless different minimum car
load weight is authorized by special
written permission. When a car OF
lower carrying capacity than the es.
tablished minimum is furnished, it
may be used without special permits.
sion, provided it is loaded to IDS max.
imum capacity.
While the minimum carload
weights of fo~odstufs, as fixed by the
U. s. Food Administration, do com
pei shippers to load ear heavier in
order to secure carload rates. the car
rying capacity of the cars in nearly
all cases is much greater,
so great Is the demand for cars
to move government business, mill.
tary supplies, the grain, fruit and vege-
table crops and all commercial traf
fic that every freight car should be
loaded to its maximum carrying ca
pacity, not merely to the minimum
necessary to secure a carload rate OF
freight, concluded Mr.. Forsyth.
Some of the minimum carload
weights on food stuffs as advanced by
order of the U. s. Food Administra.
ton are: Flour, from 10000 lbs. to
$4,000 lbs; syrup and mola sses, from
$4,000 to 10000 lbs; rice, from 40,
goo to 10000 lbs; dried beans and
