The object of this noble organiza-

locally, with all questions and move

For his country and his country $

he had. In spite of German propa-

able manhood rights, in spite of the
persistent and repeated injustice IN

in need of some form of special in
struction because of mental of physi-
cal defect or retardation should have
special attention in open air classes,
nutrition classes and the like, and are
to have, if necessary, rest periods at
school and additional nOurishment
Schools should be provided with a
school nurse to teach the children the
essentials of health and to do follow
up work in the home. They should
also have a physician, full or part
time, to examine the children and dis
cover early departures from health
and to control communicable diseases.
Adolescents, whether in school or
not, should be given opportunity for
complete physical examination from
time to time with advice and instruc-
tion as to their health needs, including
sex instruction. Ample facilities for
play and wholesome social life are
not to be overlooked in the public pro-
lection of the growing child.
The states particular responsibility
for those of its children who are in
need of special care is emphatically
set forth in the resolutions passed by
the section on Children in need of
special care" The conference urged
the Importance of home care and the
necessity for adequate family income
The principle was stated that mo

and supplement family resources as to
make the home safe for the child, or
so to supervise the child as to make
MS continued presence safe for the
community The need for state su-
pervision of all institutions and agen-
cies caring for children was empha-
sized. The principles governing juven-
lie court organization were set forth.
More social work in rural communi-
ties was urged.
Emphasis was placed on the need
for special attention to the mental hy-
giene of the child. The state should
secure data concerning the extent of
and subnormality
and should provide for the care of
handicapped children The need for
more scientific literature dealing with
the child in need of special care and
for periodic revision of child welfare
legislation is emphasized. The APP

Five Negro Women, Four White Men
Lynched in 1918.
The associations report of its
fight against lynching shows that six
ty-seven persons were lynched in
1918, of whom four were white men
and five were colored women. Among
time of lynching We're "creating dis
turbances," three cases of ..stealing
hogs one case of "aiding mob victim
in attempt to escape" and six persons
lynched for conspiracy to avenge kill

occurred following charges of the
murder of civilian" and four on
charges of shooting and wounding.'
Victims Admitted Innocent.
In three cases of which we have
record" says the report, 'the press
has spoken of the innocence of vic
tins one of these involved three per-
sons, another the ten victims of
Brooks and Lowndes counties mobs
(aside from the one person who shot
the white farmer which was the in
centive to the lynchings). In another
case it is the common belief in the
community in which u Negro was
lynched for killing a white woman
that the husband of the woman was
himself the murderer. No charge has
been brought against him, however,

NVW of American children were
drawn up in tentative form
- - as result of the three days
conference on child welfare
standards which has just completed
its sessions at Washington, d. c. The
standards will be further discussed at
the regional conferences in nine cities,
which will be held in the next three
weeks under the auspices of the Chill
dren's Bureau, L. S. Department of
Labor.
The standards drawn up set 16 as
the lowest age at which children can
go to work in any occupation during
the months when school is in session
Nine months schooling, either full or
part time, for children between Z and
IS years of age is proposed as the
minimum educational standard. y
child 16 cannot go to work unless he
has completed the eighth grade. Ed
ucation beyond the eighth grade is TO
be provided for employed children be-
tween 16 and IS years old by atten-
dance at day continuation schools.
The working day of minors shall
never be longer than eight hours and
for children between 16 and Is shall
be less than the adults working day.
Night work and employment in hazar-
dous occupations shall be prohibited.
Minors shall be paid at a rate which,
for full time employment, would yield
at least the necessary cost of proper
living"
A central employment agency forl
children should be established, offer
ing occupational advice and supervi-
sion during the first years of employ
ment.
The section on employment certifi-
Gates sets forth uniform requirements
as to proof the child must furnish of
age, education and physical fitness.
The child cannot secure an employ J
ment certificate until he proves that
he has definite promise of a job. The
state shall supervise the issuance of
employment certificates and the en-
forcement of school attendance laws.
The education of the public in all
thar concerns the child and its mother
is, according to the conference, es-
sential in raising health standards.
Public protection of maternity as de-
fined by the conference embraces pre-
natal care, trained attendance at child
birth and adequate nursing and domes-
tice assistance for the mother after
confinement. Maternity centers should
be placed at the service of all expect
ant mothers. Hospital care or skilled
care at home during confinement
should be available for all mothers
The state should regulate the training
of midwives and supervise their prac-
tice. Household assistants should be
furnished so that the mother may have
Il chance to regain her strength before
resuming her household duties.
To protect babies and small chill
of all the passage of laws requiring
that births be registered within three
days and that adequate treatment be
provided for the eyes of the new born
infant Health centers should be es
tablished to supervise infants and
children and to give advice as to their
care and feeding. A public health
nurse for every 1000 of the popula-
ton is needed to give advice to moth
ers in their own homes.
The health of the school child is,
according to the standards adopted by
the conference, to be safeguarded by
the provision of proper school houses,
and of adequate facilities for recrea-

Old West Side Grounds Sold.

Any lingering hope that the Chi
eago Cubs some day would move
back to the old West Side grounds
where they spent their golden days
was blasted last week when Charles
Webb Murpy, owner of the historic
park, sold it to the state of Illinois
for 100000 in cash. The state will
build a group Of hospital buildings
on the property. 1t contains slightly
more than eight acres, fronts $50
feet on Polk street and GIT feet on
Wood and Lincold streets.
When the National League was or
ganized in 1876 the Chicago Club
secured grounds on the lake front
end later moved to a park at Harri-
son-and Throop streets. A few years
later the club moved to the grounds
known as the West Side Park, where
games were played until Charles
Weeghman and associates bought the
Cubs from Murphy and Taft, con-
solidated them with the Chifeds and
moved to the Federal League Park
on the North Side in Chicago.
At the North Side Park the at
tendance has never been what it.wa
when the Cubs played on the West
Side, the grounds are small and have
other disadvantages. There always
was hope, therefore, of return to
Murphy's Park, but his sale of the
property kills that expectation.

the season. That record was made
against the Boston Braves on July 8.
Eller's shine ball was working per-
fectly at Boston that day and in the
fifht and sixth innings he retired

Cruise on strikes. one after the other.
Two men whitfield in the fifth, three
in the sixth.
Twice during 1919 did the Sox cast
off fan four men in row, his first
stunt of this kind being turned at
Pittsburgh, onl July 25 and his second
at Philadelphia a month and a day
later.
At Chicago, on June "a, in the
second inning, Eller struck out Mer-
kle, Magee and Paskert, one after
the other, and on his home lot, on
August 3 he famed three Giants
Burns, Chase and Gonzales-in the
ninth inning, that being the only one
he pitched against them. However,
these strikeouts were not consecu-
tive.

umpire, who caused Fred Merkle to

the latter's failure to touch second

cost the Giants pennant, now comes
to bat with, another "bone" play
pulled in the recent Series, and he
noted something that caused consid-
cradle comment in the press box at
the time.
The play happened in the third
inning of the seventh game. John
Collins was on second, Eddie Collins
on first, nobody out and Weaver at
bat. Weaver hit to short for a cinch
double killing. Kopf fielded the ball,
touched second, retiring Eddie Col

Eddie Collins blocked him, and the
