Alien Women
Not Protected

''The present law, however, grants no
relief to women who have been deserted
by their husbands, or whose husbands
are in jail or in insane asylums, or for
other reasons are unable or unwilling to
give them support" says Mrs. Rose Falls
Bres, lawyer and author of several
books on laws affecting women. "Also
there is no relief for women who are not
citizens of this country as we'll as of the
state. Yet the children in all of these
cases necessarily become charge upon
the public if their destitution reaches
the last stage, and if they are not given
aid at the time when they need educa-
tion but are forced by privation to work
or to the shelter of institutions, they are
prevented from becoming good citizens;
and thus it is the state which suffers

tributed by philanthropists-a total of
$1,000 O,O0O-to maintain $4,000 chill
dren in institutions. Under the pension
system it costs $1O,000,00O to care for
100000 children in their own homes,
and the saving of their pride, and the
warmth of love that cannot be bought,
are thrown in gratis.
In other words, a child in its home
costs one-third as much as child in
an asylum-and it is better, happier
child, and the state which cares for it
in this way is better state, for it is no
longer guilty of the crime of breaking
up families because they have COM
mitted the crime of being poor.
"Anything Less Than Plenty
Is Sheer Folly''
Judge Neil is now in England con-
Quoting nationwide campaign for the
mothers pension system. In a recent
article written by him in the London
"Review of Reviews" he says:
''In America, thirty-six states now, in
some degree, are operating mothers
pension plans. Some Of these are eff
cient and some, because the pension
paid is too small, are not, and where
they are not it has been fully demon
strated that the expense is greater than
it is where they are ample, for the
mothers in the former case break down
and what money has been spent is
%I,rAy
enough to save the mother from break
ing down. Anything less is folly. &.
To save mothers from breakdown is a
cheaper matter than to support their
children after they have broken down.
"In Australia every mother who gives
birth to living child gets s5, or about
S25, whether she be married or unmar-
ried, rich or poor. Manitoba has passed
a mothers pension law
Il came over here because ! could
foresee the great economic loss which
would come to the world if mothers
were to be broken down by poverty.
l knew that a mothers pension system
would mean a saving, and there was a
great need for saving. The movement
started with meeting at the House of
Lords at which members from both the
House of Lords and the House of Com
mons were present; and since then I
have explained it throughout the United
Kingdom in favor of resolution which
has been generally adopted"

BY MARIE DE MONTALvO

BY MARIE DE MONTALVO
CINCE the widowed mothers pension
law went into effect in New York
in 1915 it has been clearly demon
strated that in no other way could so
much be done for dependent and poor
orphans as in the proper administration
of public fund which gave relief in
the home and saved thousands of chill
dren from public institutional life.
The mothers pension has been on
trial; it has been the subject of much
attack. But opponents of the measure
have been growing less, and their argu-
ments have gone down in the face of
facts and carefully prepared statistics.
The New York law requires that the
mothers pension, ssspoor relief" apply
to women who are widows with children
less than sixteen years old whom they
cannot properly provide for. The widow
must have been resident of the coun-
ty or city for not less than two years
prior to her application for the relief,
and her husband must have been citi-
zen by birth or naturalization at the
time of his death. The amount allowed
is based upon the cost of caring for
child in public institution. The admin
istration is in the hands of local child
welfare boards.

WEEVIL PROVES A BLESSING
Fuller Discovers on Visit to Alabama
And Georgia

Luther D. Fuller, agricultural field
agent of the Southern Railway, has
lust returned from a visit to Ala
bama and Georgia with message
full of good cheer for the farmers of
South Carolina. In the following
statement he speaks in vein that
suggests anything but fear and down.
lrtedness over the arrival in this
section of the boil weevil:
"There is much concern in South
Carolina at this time over the boil
weevil situation, due to the fact that
the advance this season is much
greater thas usual. In all probability
with average weather conditions
next growing season there will be a
surprising amount of damage done
by the weevil in the older infested
sections.
"The same condition has existed
over the entire infested sections of
the cotton belt and has caused ruin
to some farmers and prosperity to
others. Many farmers of this State
are planning to make some changes
and are undecided. These men should
visit points in Georgia and Alabama
and get the benefit of the costly eX-
perience of the people there. You can
there find that nearly every man IS
now prosperous, even in spite of the
>depredations of the boil weevil, and
they will also tell you that there are
other money crops besides cotton,
and for which there is. ready market.
"Last week, in company with some
cotton growers from Barnwell coun-
tv. | visited some of the sections IN
South Georgia and Alabama and we
found no evidences of poverty, but IN
its place we found wealth. Many gins
were seen along the route, which was
made in automobiles, but only very
few were operating and some had
not operated this season. Yet there
was a wealth of peanuts, corn, vel
vet beans. sorghum, cane, sweet po-
tatoes, hogs and cattle.
"Nearly all farmers plant from one
to ten acres to cotton per plow, yet
we found no farmer who said that
cotton is the best money crop, with
or without the boil weevil. All agreed
that peanuts were the best money
crop they had, and that the Oil mill
market and others could use the en-
tire output and more still.
"The South Carolina men on this
party came back thoroughly con-
vinced as to the damage that the
weevil can do, and also that after all
it helped section. have been with
farmers from other States into the
same section on inspection tours, but
the South Carolina men were much
more enthusiastic over what they
saw than the others, and they Will
prosper as result.
Every cotton grower and banker
in the infested area of this State
should take this same trip, and the
State will prosper greatly and Will
get more benefit from the boil wee
vii in the long run than any other
State. The points to visit should be
Albany, Arlington, Ga, and Columbus:
Dothan, Hartford, Geneva, Andalu-
sia, Enterprise, Ozark and other
places in Alabama. More advance
ment can be seen in Southeastern
Alabama, and the climate and soil
are very similar to lower South
