elGhC OCne fSCdCe OfSanlZaLlOnS-CHe two State Medical associations, Farm
 CTS union, State Federation of La bor, Federation of Women's clubs, w. c. T. U., State Bar and State Teachers association-and they organized State Cooperative Council for social Legislation, which either helped to draft or endorse the above bills and
 other.
 But bills are not passed at long dis tance. Their proponents must get into
 the arena, meet with legislative com
 mittees, explain, argue the merits of,
 and make friends for their measures.
 In 1915, the Juvenile courts of Pu laski and Jefferson counties, being
 handicapped every day by the lack of
 state schools to receive the delinquent
 boys and girls on their hands, gave
 their probation officers - Miss Erie Chambers and myself, respectively
 time off to do such legislative work
 for the industrial schools bill. The same thing was done this year by
 Judges Miles and. Cheek. The most
 splendid aid was also given the bill
 by MT. T. A. Wilson, president of the
 State Federation of Labor, (who had
 been largely instrumental in the pass
 age fthe 1915 bilD and by Mrs. Min mic U Rutherford Fuller, president o1
 |the State w. c. T. U., legislative rep
 resentative of the Federation of Wo- : mems clubs and author of the Juven- .. ile court act, who first started the . movement for these schools six years . ago. The bill was introduced this . time by Senator Owens who worked . splendidly fo rits passage. It was en. doresd by Governor Brough in his epoch making message and founc . warm friends in both houses of the Legislature.
 The charities and correction com. s mission bill was drafted by commit tee from the Arkansas Conference fol Social Welfare, consisting of pr 2 Scott Tunnels of Little Rock, chair man, Dr. A. c. Shipp, MT. A. w. Dob yns and myself. Rabbit Louis Witt and MT. M. A. Auerbach, president and secretary of the conference, were ex- -officio members of the committee $ Exhaustive work - correspondence, . with numerous states, etc., was done by our committee for months before drafting this bill in conference witt E the state legislative council abov; { mentioned, and to Dr. Tunnels belong! the greatest possible praise for hi ! splendid, untiring work at a sacrifice E of time and money.

The smoke of the battle has clear ed away sufficiently now for us to check the next gains of perhaps the most remarkable session of the Ark ansas legislature. Nowhere are the gains of greater consequence than IT the field of child welfare and the long hard struggle of the social workers fol the last few years to improve state conditions has borne fruit.
 The State Industrial School for De-
 linauent Girls and Boys.
 At last, after securing pssSsage :f such a bill in last legislature only 10 have it vetoed by Governor Hays, we have passed our bill to remove the boys from the State Reform school at Little Rock, purchase farm for them somewhere in Arkansas, erect buildings and equip a modern state ln- dustrial school where real work can be done, such as almost every other state in the Union now has.
 The present Reform school plant totally unsuited for farming because having only 20 to 25 tillable acres, is to be converted into the Girls h. dustrial school. The gardening poul- try raising, domestic work, etc.,, the girls would do can be done nicely there. One of the greatest provisions of the bill is that removing the Boys school entirely from under the man. agement of the Penitentiary commits sion. thus transferring it from the class of penal institutions into that of educational and correctiona linstiu- tions. Each school is placed under an honorary board of five members to be appointed by the governor. On each board two women must be appointed
 Provision is made for the segrega- tion into cottages at each different school of the inmates according to ages and morals, the lack of which segregation is perhaps the greatest evil at the present Reform school. The work of establishing the schools will be greatly hampered by the fact that owing to the states financial condl- tion the total appropriation for the two schools for the biennial is only S4O,2OO, about third of the amount needed. This means that the boys school board will have to solicit do nations of land, use temporary build ings, probably, and get along by the hardest for two years until more money is secured. ,>,
 The governor has not yet appointed the boards, or signed the separate ap- propriation bill, but we believe he will do this shortly, as he is in hearty sympathy with the opposition. ...
 The State Commission of Charities
 and Corrections.
 The other big measure drafted by the social workers and ardently cham. pioned by Governor Brough is that establishing a state commission o1

You Cannot Expect To Have ' a Clear
 Complexion
By Constantly Massaging It With So-caIIed Skin Foods or Creams,
 Often Rancid or Germy.
Substitute Cuticura
 For One Week

And make Cuticura Soap and Oint. ment your everyday toilet preparations. They cannot possibly injure the pores. Contrast the purity, fragrance. comfort and convenience of these super-creamy emollients with "beauty fads" so com mon, tiresome and expensive. A bath with Cuticura Soap and hot water on rising and retiring thoroughly cleanses and stimulates sluggish pores. giving If signs of pimples, redness or rough ness be present smear them with the Ointment and let it remain five minutes before bathing. Nothing purer, sweeter or more effective for your skin and hair than Cuticura no matter how much you pay for it.

delegation not only voted right on these social bills but worked for them, to man, as did many other legislators and outside friends too numerous to mention, unfortunately.
 Altogether the 1917 session of the legislature was, in many ways, an in spiring testimonial of the truth that Arkansas is now leader among the states instead of the somewhat halt ing follower it has been in the past.
 Governor, legislators, proponents of bills-all worked, for the most part, for the good and the glory of our wonderful state.
