Law Allows: Adopting a Child

with homes, but daily increasing army
of children made dependent by war and
the conditions it has created Without
reason, everything connected with
court proceeding awes and frightens the
law abiding--especially women. Yet
close acquaintance with the. manner Of
legally adopting child or children
shows it is without any fearsome ele-
ments. Requirements for joining
church or club are every bit as onerous
Any married couple. both being
adults. may adopt child or children if
able to provide a home and good moral
atmosphere. Either may adopt if the
consent Of the other is obtained. If the
child is more than twelve years of age
it is necessary to have his or her con-
sent also.
If the minor to be adopted has a
parent possible to locate, who has not
been adjudgcd insane or deprived of
civil rights or divorced for certain
causes, then the consent of such parent
must be obtained.
If the child is one of the foundlings
taken over by the city, then only the
consent of the city's representative is
required. The person or persons seek
ing to adopt must appear before the
court for examination, and at this junct-
urc the examining official looks beyond
the social status, cash in bank, assured
income and the religious predictions
of the would-be parents, and wants to
know that the child being passed on ''for
better or worse" will receive kind treat
ment. The rich man of to-day may be
the poor man of tomorrow, so there can
be no financial security; but the con-
scientious judge or surrogate rejects the
application of irresponsible persons in
an effort to assure every normal child a
normal chance.

What To Do
To Adopt a Child

Stripped of prolixity, the following
document recently filed in the Surro-
gates Court of New York City shows
the simplicity of the proceeding:
The petition of John Blank and his
wife, Mary Blank, respectfully shows:
That both are more than twenty
enc years of age and reside.
That the minor the petitioners want
to adopt was born in 1905, the day
being unknown, as he was abandoned
and placed in .. founding
asylum of Palermo, Italy, as shown
by the memorandum from the said
asylum annexed hereto.
That your petitioners have had Gus
tody of said child without interruption
since its infancy. That neither the
father nor mother Of the said infant
has ever inquired about him. That
your. petitioners lived in Portnico.
Italy, for three years after assuming
custody of the child and then came to
this country to live.
That your petitioners are good,
home-loving people, have small farm
and $4,000 in the bank
of adopting the said minor as their
lawful child.
That there is annexed hereto the
instrument required by Section 112 of
the Domestic Relations Laws of the
City Of New York, signed and exc
cuted by those whose consent is neces-
sary.
Wherefore, petitioners pray that
the Surrogate Of New York County
entertain the proceedings for adop-
ton of said minor and that an order
be granted, filed and recorded al
lowing and confirming said adoption
and directing that the said Giovanni
Blank shall hereafter be known and
treated in all respects as petitioners
lawful child.
TO this petition was attached an aft
davit of the petitioners, their covenant
to care for and educate the child, and
the written consent Of the minor (being
more than twelve years Of age) to the
adoption.

When the armies Of the Allies were

Eight Thousand Sold
At Auction in
One Week
By MAY BOSNIAN

4 FEW years ago, in the University
~ of Pennsylvania Museum in Phila-
delphia, / met a young girl who
might have stepped off one Of the cracked
old vases from some ancient Biblical land.
She was true Oriental type; looking at
her, one wondered how many thousands
and thousands Of years the strain in her
extended backward that had caused to be
born again so definite and pronounced a
cast of features.
She was only twenty and had come to
this country in the steerage when she was
ten years old. She had had only such
education as free America gives in its
public schools; yet she was custodian of
tones used only by erudite professors and
bespectacled -graduates-and she
knew her books.
Because she had been a distinct help
to hurried newspaper writer I was
grateful and asked her to visit me. She
cried: "No, no! cannot, for none could
come to see me at my house! 1t is so
crowded, so small and dark. And there
are babies. You fall over them on the
floor Or if not babies, it is my grand
mother. She is ninety and blind And
the house does not smell clean, and it is
never quiet"

Little Girls
Sold at Auction

Thereupon the German military officers
in command of the Turks went into the
Serbian houses and collected the prettiest
of the little girls - 5000 in one week,
from ten to fourteen years of age-and
sold them in the market places to Turk
ish buyers.

with paid by -thc-month mothers is no ex-
pertinent, for in 1909 there was held in
Washington, D. c., conference with
two hundred representatives of the sew
cral religious faiths, to which asylums,
aid societies and juvenile courts brought
their experience and observations, and
after the welfare of children Of all kinds
and conditions had been given consider
alton, the following conclusion was an
nounced:
AS to children who for sufficient
reason must be removed from their
own homes, or who have no homes,
it is desirable that, if normal in mind
and body and not requiring special
training, they should be cared for in
families wherever practicable. The
carefully selected foster home is for
the normal child the best substitute
for the natural home.
But the dependent child to-day in New
York City is very lucky indeed if he
chances to be placed with a paid-by-the-
month-mother, instead of finding a per-
manent crib and home in an institution.
Tested-Tagged-and

The physical being Of homeless babies
who come to the city for support is the
first object of attention, for, be it I'M
