er their need for improved education,

sis for hte study TO conditions in the

fore it the report on "Child Welfare
in Oklahoma made by the National
Child Labor Committee at the invita-
on of the State University.
Experts declare that children's
code is not code in the strict sense
that all the laws concerning children
are taken out to form one body of
statutes. On the contrary, they re-
main in their present position in the
state body of laws; but they are con
sidered as a unit, and their provi-
sions made to conform with one an
other. The movement is of compar-
atiyely recent date, but is spreading
with great rapidity. In fact, in sew
enteen states steps have been taken
or are now being considered for the
codification of children's laws.

W. s. S. PAYABLE ONLY
TO ORIGINAL OWNERS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-The fo
lowing is quoted from a notice is
sued by the secretary of the treas
ury.
my attention has been directed
to the numerous offers made by un-
scrupulous persons through adver-
tisements and in other ways to buy
war savings certificate stamps and,
as a result of such offers, | am in
formed that owners of such securi-
ties have suffered material losses
which would have been avoided by
redemption of the war savings
stamps at postoffices, as provided
by law"
"In order that the interests of
owners of war savings stamps Of
either series may be safe-guarded, |
hereby notify all persons to refrain
from offers to buy war savings
stamps o. accept the same in trade"
In pursuance of the foregoing, the
postmssters are directed not to pay
war savings certificates on which
the names of the owners have not
been entered or have been erased or
changed; since, under the regula-
ticns, they are not transferable, and
are payable only to the original
owners, except in case of death or
disability
Postmasters are further instruct
ed not to pay any war savings certi-
ficates presented by persons or
firms known to be buying, or pub
licly offering to buy, war savings
stamps certificates from the own
ers, unless positive evidence is sub
mitted that the certificates were
originally issued to the persons or
firms presenting them for payment.
When consulted by owners of war
savings stamps in regard to offers
to purchase such stamps at less
than current value, postmasters
should invite their attention to the
fact that war savings certificates
may be cashed at money order
postoffices, after ten days written
notice, and that this is a privilege
accorde dby law At the same time
it should be pointed out that the
need of the government for the pro-
ceeds of the war savings stamp is

DIVISION PARADES
PLACED UNDER BAN

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-Parades
of complete divisions Of the Ameri-
can army returning from France
probably can be held only in a few
cities in the immediate vicinity of
the debarkation ports. The response
to the request of many other locali-
ties for divisional reviews of it's own
troops likely will have to be the pa
rading of not more than a regiment.
This, it was learned today, is the
conviction of officers at the war de-
partment who have been studying
Homecoming parade proposals.
Cities in which it probably would
be possible to hold divisional re-
views, these officers said, are Bos-
ton, New York and Washington. To
hold such a parade in an inland
city, it was said, would be almost i'm
possible and quite impracticable.
Disruption of Rail Traffic.
War department officials were
said to have found that serious dis
ruption of rail traffic for several
days, gave danger of congestion at
ports of arrival and a resultant
slowing up of the whole process of
rehabilitation would be involved in
an attempt to carry a complete divi-
sion to even such a city as Chicago,
with many rail outlets and
large terminal facilities. Half the
tourist car equipment of the coun-
try, it was estimated, would be
needed to make up more than fifty
trains necessary to carry that num-
ber of troops, even without any
heavy impedimenta such as the ar
-illery and wagon trains. Officers
said that using. five rail lines out of
New York at 30 minute headway on
each line. it would take five hours
rom the time the first unit arrived
until the last reached its destination
md that during the entire time all
i've roads would be practically given
1ver entirely to this single troop

and IS years.
The demands will be recommended
for Incorporation into an interna-
tional agreement by the epace con
ference.
There are special stipulations in
the demands concerning seamen and
it is asked that these stipulations
shall be made part of international
law, the carrying out of the provi-
sion to be looked after by special
commissions in which the trade
unions of the nations shall have
equal representation with the en-
ploying interests.

BIG REDUCTION
COTTON ACREAGE
NOW ADVOCATED

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 20.-Resolu-
tions calling upon cotton planters
and farmers in the south to curtail
the 1919 cotton acreage one-third
and to hold their present stocks un-
til consumers were prepared to pay
remunerative prices were unani-
mously adopted at the concluding
session here today of a conference
of growers, bankers and merchants
from the cotton producing states.
The resolutions were adopted as
submitted and approved by the res
olutions committee, of which former
Governor Richard |. Manning OF
South Carolina, was chairman. No
resolution was offered covering
plan submitted by John M. Parker of
New Orleans, whereby a certificate
system, similar to that used for
sugar regulation during the war, was
recommended for the purpose or
checking up and keeping track OF
cotton acreage and stocks. In for
NAL discussions prior to the report
of the resolutions committee indi-
Gated that the dealers believed diff
ferent systems should be used in
each state and that conditions varied
so widely that the manner of cur
failing and holding cotton should be
left to sectional authorities.
Considerable comment followed an
announcement that 1000 pamphlets
containing a statement by John M.
Parker, attacking cotton spectators
and outlining plan whereby not to
exceed 100000 bales of cotton an
nually could be marketed, 'had dis
appeared" The pamphlet, it was
stated, were in the convention hall
ready for distribution, but "disap-
peared" while Mr.. Parker was absent
for few minutes.
The resolutions committee ap-
pointed by Governor Pleasant, chair
man of the meeting, consisted of
three delegates from each state, a
banker, farmer and merchant.
Fred w Davis, agricultural com
missioner Of Texas, was secretary of
the meeting.

OKLAHOMA
SEEKS AID
CHILDREN
Code for Youngsters Proposed
by Mcintosh; Follows Plan
of Many States Taking
Up Work.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2O.-Oklaho-
ma has joined the "Children's Code"
states. Senate bill 165, introduced
by Senator Mcintosh, provides for
the appointment of children's code
commission to revise and suggest
amendments and additions to the
state laws for children, in order to
bring them into harmony with the
most progressive thought of the day.
Ohio led off in 1911 with the ap-
pointment of the first children's
code commission in America, and
practically all its recommendation
were passed by the Legislature two
years later. Other states followed,
the most notable program for CO.
ordinating childrens laws having
just been presented to the Missouri
legislature. Connecticut, North Caro-
lina Colorado, Arkansas, Nebraska,
and West Virginia are among the
states in which there is good
chance of appointment of like com
missions in the legislative year 1919,
while in Illinois there is also discus
sion of proposed code.
Oklahoma is following the more eff
fective method, according to a state
ment issued by the National Child
Labor committee. The three mem
bers of the commission created by
the bill, will make their report to
the governor by July l, 1920, thus
allowing more than year for care
full study Of the existing statutes and
their administration, as well as the
laws of other states. Special atten-
tion would be given to dependent,
delinquent, neglected and illegitimate
children as well as children handi- !
capped by mental defects, in order to
recommend means for hteir better
care and protection. But since it is
