others in which she is Interested
The others include a bin already in

fant under the age of months shall
be separated from its mother, and an
other, which provides for the appoint
ment Of a female juvenile officer.
Still another remedial measure un-

the compulsory commitment of feeble

mentally unsound are not confined in
the institutions provided for them,
but are permitted to remain at large,
sometimes constituting menace to
