LEGISLATURE PROVIDES SUPPORT FOR MOTHERS
Sage Foundation Lays Stress on Sympathy
In Handling Appeals for Aid from Charity

| When Russell Sage Foundation
! speaks, wise social workers give ear.
This Foundation, which has shed
| so much light on social problems
through its surveys and investigations,
speaks with authority.
So, when it outlines the four steps
| necessary to lift family from poverty
to sel-respect conscientious social
workers regard the suggestions with
attention.
In the accompanying illustration,
which is taken from a poster issued by
the Foundation, are shown the four
steps regarded as essential to family
reclamation.
KindIiness is Keynote.
Kindliness are the keynotes of the
suggestion.
Give the applicant sympathetic
hearing; do not bulldoze; do not in
suit; do not browbeat; that is the
first step.
Always provide relief il there is
need; that is the second step.
Investigate, but in a kindly way;

phases of the family life in order to
discover the cause or causes OF the
poverty; that is the third step.
Be friend; preserve kindly. SYM
pathetic attitude toward the submerg.
ed social unit; that is the fourth step.
Recommended BY Foundation.
When John T. Melpolder came to
Richmond the newspapers heralded
the fact that he was recommended by
the Russell Sage Foundation.
Interested observers, who have
watched his conduct of the Social
Service Bureaus affairs, say friend
illness and kindness are absent.
They profess to believe his methods
and those outlined by the Russell Sage
Foundation are antipodal in spirit.
Which method is correct?
Treatment of unfortunates with
kindness and sympathy, or;
Treatment of unfortunates as though
they were culprits, accused of shatter-
ing the social order?

BOARD ORDERS
$4,000 SPENT
ON CITY PLANT

Richmond Municipal Electric plant
improvements which will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 were authoriz-
ed by the board of public works at its
meeting today to meet imperative re-
quirements.
Superintendent Kleinknecht was in
structed to prepare plans and specifi-
cations for the construction of dam
across the river, a water screen house
equipped with revolving screen and
two 500 b. p. boilers.
The plants water supply is insuffic-
lent and to obtain the required supply
dam must be placed across the river
1t is also necessary to screen the
water before it is used by the plant
machinery. The plant now has six
boilers, five being in use practically all
the time.
Supt. Kleinknecht Informed the
board that the new 1000 k. W. turbine
would be placed in operation today and
stated that contracts for new power
business had just been closed equaling
half Of the new turbines capacity.
These contracts are with the Starr
Piano company, the Pennsylvania rail
road company, the Champion Roller
Mills company and the Richmond
Malleable Iron company.

The other is to raise the money by

second plan was favored by the major

County commissioners favor the
erection Of Morton statue. When
they looked into the law governing
them in such matters, however, they
found that before they can ask the

ance.
1t was suggested that the county be
divided between various people in ac-
cordance with the political divisions
and that the poll books be used as
guides so that every voter in the
county might be given an opportunity
to sign the petitions. Because OF 9th
er heavy expenses the women believe
it would be difficult to secure sigma
lures.
1t is anticipated that the women
would have little trouble in raising
the money by subscription. Oliver P.
Morton is known throughout the Unit
ed States as Indiana's War Governor.
He was born in Wayne county, and
lived here practically all his life. His
home was near Centerville. There has
been continuous agitation in this
county for the past fifteen years to
erect a statue to Morton.

AMSTERDAM, (via London), Feb.
19.-Count Won Reventlow devotes the
leading editorial in the Berlin Tages-
zeitung today to an attack on James
W. Gerard, former American ambass-
ador whom he accuses of having used
his official position deliberately to
transmit important war information to
the entente by way of America.
Many indications" he writes, "have
continually pointed to the theory that
the uncontrolled cable service and
letter service to the United States per-
mitted to the American embassy had
also been an uncontrolled method of
communication with London and Paris.
This was best illustrated in the events
which led to the capture and execution
of Sir Roger Easement.
"Thus London learned in good time
of the enterprise which led Easement
to the Irish coast, and his capture fol-
lowed. American Ambassador Gerard

Use of Fists
To Help Girl

1t is no offense for a man to use his
fists in the defense of a woman under
his escort.
This ruling was made in city court
by Mayor Robbins today and he COM
plimented George Reid, young man,
for attacking Robert Harrison because
Harrison had not only attempted to
force his attentions upon young wom-
an Reid was escorting but had also
attempted to pick quarrel with Reid.
On a charge of provoke Harrison
drew fine of $40 and costs.
Trouble between Reid and Harrison
occurred on North D street near the
c. & O. tracks Saturday evening.
Waiting for train to pass Reid enter
ed a confectionery to purchase some
candy for his companion.
When he left the store he saw
Harrison forcing his attentions on the
girl. Reid and the girl then started
toward the bridge. Harrison followed
and became so insulting that Reid
finally struck him. A lively fight en-
sued, Harrison being routed.
