CHILDREN COME
IN FOR SHARE

Washington, May 23,-The rights
of illegitimate children and the States
responsibility for seeing that every
child, no matter what its parentage,
has the nurture, protection, and edu-
cation essential to his usefulness as
a citizen are for the first time given
complete national reception in the
Norwegian laws concerning illegiti-
mate children, according to a report
issued today by the Children's Bur
eau of the U. S. Department of La
Dor.
These laws make the state in
stead of the mother responsible for
establishing paternity. The State
holds both parents equally and con-
tinuously responsible for the illegiti-
mate child-'"The child shall be en-
titled to bringing up-maintenance,
training, and education-from both its
father and it's mother" The report
contains a translation of the several
Norwegian laws, with amendments, on
illegitimate children and their care:
The attitude which looks upon il
legitimacy as a child-welfare prob
lem that must be solved for the sake
of the child and of the State is ex-
emplified by this Norwegian 1egisla-
ton. In connection with its studies
of bearing of the war upon child wei
fare the Children's Bureau examined
the evidence obtainable but could not
find that it justified the statements
that have been circulated of wide
spread increase in illegitimacy since
the war. The Bureau believes, how
ever, that the needs of the r11Iegiti-
mate child must be considered in the
Children's Year campaign ito save
100000 children's lives during the
second year of the war and to get a
square deal for children" In the
Children's Year Working Program
attention is called to the necessity OF
providing opportunity for normal de-
veloment to the child of unmarried
parents.

THIS SPY SUSPECT
TIMED PAPER BALLS

New York, May 23-E. Sarashn, IS,
a Columbia student living in Hartley
Hall, spent part of yesterday using a
stop watch to time the fall of paper
balls from Riverside Drive viaduct
into Manhattan street. His computa-
tons interested a policeman, who was
told that the affairs of a Columbia
student were none of his. The police
man took Sarasohn to the Enemy
Alien Bureau in the Federal building,
where Capt. Roger B. Hull found
Sarasohn in a mood to question every
officials authority to question him.
Sarasohn, however, at length ad-
mitted that he was not an enemy
alien and that his parents live in the
Hotel Bossert in Brooklyn.
Capt. Hull sent Sarasohn to E.
Paul Yaselli, assistant United States
attorney, for a decision as to whether
the dropping of paper balls into Man
haitian street furnished the basis for
criminal proceeding. Mr.. YaseIIi
decided that Sarasohn was "a frivoI-
Gus youth and sent him away.
This investigation is so like the
melo-drama," said Sarasohn in a
bored voice when he was told he was
free to go. Luckily Wednesday is
not my day to be serious"

ders of the railroad administration
insisting on technicalities involved
and consulting at length with the
roads counsel before carrying out In
structions
The action against Mr.. Huntington
removes him as executive chief OF the

VOTE MONEY TO
AUDIT REPORTS
FOR PARISHES

Hartford, May 23-pelegates to the
annual convention of the Episcopal
diocese OF Connecticut in their second
days session here yesterday, vote to
allow the diocesan committee on
finance $500 with which to obtain aud
3t4ng of parish financial accounts. The
oornmfttee had asked for $3.50. The
vote for the amended sum followed a
long discussion and stood IS to a.
Further action along financial lines
was the raising of the saalry of the
secretary of the diocese from $3.50 to
$500 and the placing of $500 at the dis
posal of the diocesan board of reftg-
ious education. An amendment which
sought to reduce this amount to $500
was lost by a narrow margin.
The report of a committee appoint
ed by the last annual convention to
look into the matter of making lay
men eligible to membership on the
standing committee was presented.
The committee advocated. no change
in the present practive of having the
standing committee consist of seven
clergymen.
A lively discussion followed the re-
port of a committee which proposed
that voting privileges be denied those
members of a parish who had not at
tended regularly the church services
and had not contributed to the ex-
penses of the parish in the six months
preceding a parish meeting.
