Government Takes Over Output of Tuxedo and
 Durham Tobacco

The "Sclders in France Tobacco Fund" conducted by The Graphic to obtain tobacco for the soldiers in France, was closed yesterday in re- sponse to the following letter:
 "New York, April 27, 1918. "Daily Graphic, Pine Bluff, Ark.
 "Gentlemen: Our government has again called on us requesting that we nut at the disposal of the war depart ment our entire output of Tuxedo smoking tobacco which, of course, we gladly do.
 "For the time being this means that Tuxedo must be withdrawn from the general market and from the to- baccc kits that we have been sending abroad to our fighting lads.
 "ln turning over to the government our entire output of two of our popu- lar brands, "The Maxim 's"-Bull Dur ham and Tuxedo, and due to changes which, of course, We cannot antici- pate, we have come to the conclusion that it would be to our mutual advan- tage to discontinue our arrangements for this tobacco fund after May l.
 "The government has requested not cnly some of our brands of smoking tobacco, but also the tobacco brands manufactured by other companies, and we feel that in taking over this enormous quantity of tobacco our sol diers will be amply supplied through regular government channels.
 "Will you, therefore, please make arrangements to discontinue the to- bacco fund on May 1 and notify your readers to this effect We will fill all orders under the existing arrange ment for money now on hand and con tributed to your fund up to that date. Permit us to take this opportunity of again thanking you and your read CTS for the splendid support of such a worthy cause.
 "Cordially yours.

It Is within. the memory of many people OF the farms that there was a time when tn cans were not too plen- tiful. Now and then canned goods were bought, and for the empty cans plenty of uses were found. For in- stance, tomato plants were started iD them, standing iii the sunny kitchen window long before the garden was clear of snow; they were convenient for holding paint when a small job had to be done, and the small boys treasured them for holding their bait for those adventurous and ever-to-bc remembered fishing excursions of early summer. About all the tin cans that came to farmhouse twenty-five or thirty years ago %ere put to good use.

young 1ather was man with money and
heart and no desire to engage in philanthropy
just because of its reflected gory-there are a
lew men like that in this country, and now we
know that at least one Of them resides in New
York. So he went home and thought the whole
thing over, and that same night he telephoned
the specialist and named sum of money that
he thought he could spare from his income
every year.
Il know it isn't enough to cover everything"
ne said, "but do you think you could use it to
make start at some kind of real maternity
service for the women in the neighborhood of
your hospital?"
That was how the Outdoor Obstetrical De-
partment of the New York Nursery and Child's
Hospital had it's beginning in it's present FORM
The district included in this service extends
from Twenty fourth to 104th Street, from
Fifth Avenue to the Hudson River, and covers
the notorious black. belt-"Hell's Kitchen"-
with its famous "most crowded blocks in the
world" one of which is supposed to house H.
600 people.
Treated as People-Not Cases
The social element in the work is necessarily
almost as important as the medical, and the
first step taken was the securing of cooperation
from settlement houses in the neighborhood, the
workers in which maintain more personal re-
lation to the women than hospital can have
Their mission is to advise an expectant mother
to call at the hospital for advice instead of ap-
plying to a midwife, going to physician of
Indifferent skill, or what most often hap
pens-changing her mind every little while
about what to do until it is too late to do any,
thing at all.
When she calls at the hospital she enters a
door leading into clinic where no cases are
considered except those similar to her own, and
there is met by social worker-one who speaks

minor children if her husband has never lived
with her in Rhode Island.
But the New Citizen would advise mothers
if they care anything for their children to
avoid being born or acquiring a residence in
Wisconsin or West Virginia.
In Wisconsin the right of custody and
guardianship goes preferably to the father
and at his death to the mother, but only so
long as she remains unmarried. And Chapter
66 of the West Virginia Code provides that
mo married woman can be appointed guar
dian for minor children, and the marriage Of
female guardian terminates her trust"
10 the lay mind this seems to indicate that
married woman with children has no con-
troll over her children long as their father
her husband, lives. After his death. she may
keep them only if he has appointed her their
guardian, and even then only so long as she
does not marry again.
If the minor has guardian appointed by
deceased father, such guardian has
full authority regardless of the mother
The father can appoint guardian for his
minor child or children though the mother
be living. And the father, by the mere virtue
of being the father, while he lives is deemed
by the law of West Virginia the proper guar
dian and custodian of the child or children Of
his marriage, while the mother, if, under GER
tain circumstances, given the guardianship
and custody of the child, must be a person fit
for the trust" ("The Law and the Woman")
Thus the only type of woman who has an un-
questionable right over her child is the un-
married mother of illegitimate offspring.
Judge Henry Mel, Of Illinois, was the first
person to conceive the idea of giving public
funds direct to INDECENT mothers for the sup
port of their children instead of to public
institutions for the support Of these same
children. 1t has been estimated that 76 per
cent of the money supplied to institutions is
expended in spending the other "a per cent.
Besides, to repeat the slogan of the Nursery
and Child's Hospital, "every child needs
mothering."
So Illinois passed the first mothers pension
law in 1911: Since then twenty-five other
states including New York, have adopted SIM
liar measures. In this state it is limited to the
children Of citizens. Michigan is the only
state that extends It to il1egitimate children.
New-York tribune., 1918-05-26

"HE laws affecting minors, their protec-
ton and guardianship vary greatly
among the states. About half the
states accord equal rights to both mother and
father in the custody and guardianship of
legitimate children. The other half give prac-
tically unqualified preference to the father
regardless Of his fitness for the task In Cali
fornia equal rights were granted to both
parents at the first session of the Legislature
after the extension Of suffrage to women.
section too was added to the Civil Code making
the father as we'll as the mother liable for the
support of illegitimate children, but although
a guardian for legitimate child may be ap-
pointed by the father in his will with the
written consent of the mother, only the
mother Of an illegtimate child has this right
in California.
Georgia employers especially prohibited
from inflicting corporal punishment on minors,
from selling, giving away or hiring out for
rope or wire walking, or gymnastic, acrobatic
or indecent exhibition, any child under twelve
years of age.
Kansas has in its statutes a law which
seems most extraordinary: AS it works out, it
makes mans second wife and the children
of his second wife the direct heirs of the first
wife, utterly neglecting to provide that the
children of the first wife may inherit from
their mothers estate in case of her death, dn-
less the husband himself decides that they
shall. Lila Day Monroe, woman lawyer, is
quoted by Rose Falls Bres, in "The Law and
the Woman" as saying that she has not yet
found case where he had decided in favor
OF the children against the second wife
The same writer goes on to mention that
the father in Louisiana is given the prefer
ence IN guardianship of children to such an
extent that upon his death the preference is
extended to the paternal grandfather as
against the maternal grandfather. She cites
the case OF grandmother who had had charge
OF child from its birth, coincident with the
death OF her daughter, the child's mother.
When its father died two years later the
paternal grandfather, an old man, brought
suit for the custody Of the grandson he had
never seen, not because Of anything to ind-
cate that the baby would profit by the change,
but because an unmarried daughter living

it, and eventually, perhaps, adaptive parents,
in case its family cannot support it, Just
now the Nursery and Chids Hospital is
cooperating with the Prison Association in
the case of a mother, baby and three
other children left dependent by a SEN
tence of six months in Jail for the father, who
had been convicted of non-support. 1t is plac-
ing foundlings in comfortable homes, supplying
wet nurses keeping families together, relieving

We hear much about the "Second Line of
Defence" these days. AS matter of fact we
use such troop of phrases, whether we
understand what they mean or not, that
it is impossible to eat a meal or play a
game of checkers without going "over the
top" or using "camoufage." But the most

her own language if she is foreigner-who
talks with her and introduces her to the physi-
clan who will make the examination. And this
physician, by the way, is the same one who will
continue to care for her until her baby is born
and we'll started on it's pursuit of liberty and
happiness-just as if she were his private
patient.
Before she leaves she is given a card which
entities her to medical service when needed. and
an appointment is made for her next visit to
the hospital.
But during the interval she is not forgotten
for in the care of such cases it is essential to
learn what problems the home environment
presents and what effect they will have upon
the mothers health and peace of mind, and
through them upon her child. Is it possible for
her to buy the nourishing food she needs? If
so, does she know where to get and how to
cook 1t! Is she overworked, ill-treated, in
desperate poverty, or one Of those pitt
ful unmarried mothers who need much more
tact and care and understanding than
all the rest put together? All these
things the visitor from the social service de-
partment must learn and always she must
preach and teach the doctrine of pure air and
cleanliness and nourishing food, and be ready
to help in all sorts of practical ways, even to
the forming of sewing circles to make baby
clothes.
