it was made by a meteor the latter
was presumably a good bit smaller.
Strong support for the meteoric theo-
ry is given by the finding of thou
sands of fragments of meteoric iron,
some of them weighing many pounds,
in the immediate vicinity of the hole.
Repeated attempts have been made
to dig for the meteor. 1t should be a
mass of metal Chiefly iron, presuma-
bly, big enough to be worth getting
hold of-though, of course, its chief
value would be as curiosity of inter
est to science. One company organic
ed for the purpose started to exca-
vate at the crater's bottom, but its
operations were brought tc pause by
quicksand, which the machinery could
not handle. Now another concern is
drilling with two powerful rigs on the
inner edge of the hole 1t is thought
that the huge projectile from the sky
may have struck at an angle to the
vertical, and that consequently the
mass may lie not directly below the
crater's center, but off at one side.
In some of the scattered meteoric
fragments above mentioned were
found tiny diamonds, which lend adj
ditlonal interest to the problem.

Progress of Child Hy-
giene Work i'm America

How far the states have officially
recognized the Importance of child
welfare work is brought out in the
annual report of the children's bu-
reau of the United States department
of labor. At the present time thirty
five states have created child hygiene
or child welfare divisions. Before or
ganized effort for such divisions was
carried on as a part of the children's
year campaign only eight states had
such divisions.
The state of New Jersey has ap-
propriated $15O,00O a year for its
child hygiene division. This is the
largest budget so far adopted by any
state, but some bureaus with only
meagre appropriations, through the
cooperation of medical public health,
ana social welfare organizations, have
been able to carry out tar-reach-
ing plans of health work.
The federal children's bureau acts
in an advisory capacity to these state
organizations, and has rendered direct
assistance in the development and adj
ministration of their work. Having
contact with all the state divisions,
it has been in a position to pass along
all the new and effective methods
adopted by any of the bureaus. In
Minnesota splendid work has been ac-
complished by the child welfare board.
To assist private organizations en-
gagged in child welfare work, the chill
dren's bureau has begun series of
practical bulletins on office admins
tration, records, publicity, and other
problems of private organizations. A

BEWARE OF NARROWNESS.

"While you are extending aid and
comfort to the starving children
abroad, don't overlook the fact that
there are children in this country
who undoubtedly are in need of
of help" said the Mankato Free
Press the other day. True enough
and perhaps when the editor of the
Mankato paper wrote that para
graph he meant it only as kindly
reminder, but there is nevertheless
a certain implication of irony about
it that has an unpleasant touch of
that favorite phrase of the narrow
and the selfish-"charity begins at
home"
Charity does begin at home, but
it's home is in the human heart.
undoubtedly there are many chill
dren in need of help in this coun-
try and in every state and city in
it as we'll, but that need will find
it's quickest and most generous re-
spouse in those hearts that have al
so heard the agonized cry of dis
tress and starvation from other
countries.
1t is a psychological law that no
man or woman ever gave in to
generous impulse but that both the
impulse and the response came
easier the next time. Equally GER
tain is the working of that other
beneficent rule, that no man can
help another without helping him.
self. Both of these divinely or
dained statutes are admitted by
most people, but the discussions
that arise so frequently when for
eign charities are initiated, might
indicate they were forgotten. Yet
remembered or not, the fact re
mains that those who are moved
to relieve suffering abroad will be
still more deeply moved by suffer-
ing at home.-Duluth Herald.
