cial," issued by the Children's Bureau
of the United States Department of
Labor. The Child Welfare Special
is motorized child welfare station
which was put into the field last sum-
mer for the purpose of telling moth
ers of children in rural districts all
the things that mothers of city chill
dren learn at the city child health
centers. The special has visited five
rural counties, none of which con-
tanned more than one town of over
$500 inhabitants. Four of these were
agricultural counties, and one was in
mining section.
The aim of the Child Welfare Spe-
cial is, in all cases, educational and
not clinical.
1t was found that rural, no less
than town-bred children, present num-
erous and serious physical defects in
spite of the advantages which country
life is supposed to offer. Decayed
teeth and poorly developed bones were
the most prevalent defects, though
malnutrition was common. Milk and
vegetables, indispensable foods for
children, even when abundant, fire.
quently formed only a small part of
the diet, or did not enter into it at all.
The food of many children in rural
communities was found to be badly
chosen, poorly prepared, and given ct
unsuitable hours.
The pamphlet discusses in detail
the equipment, personnel, methods of
work, cost, and advantages and dis
advantages of the Special. It con-
cludes that "an impetus to permanent
welfare work was given more prompt
ly, more thoroughly, and effectually
by means of a motorized activity than
would have been possible by more
conventional methods"

Uncle Sans Dream
The Flag s Lament

en- by Rev James Dowden Houston East Aurora, NJ v
r of the Sikeston Christian Church:
One day in his chair Uncle Sam fell a-dreamng
He saw his loved flag upon her staff leaning,
Her face was all haggard, detected and sad,
And this is the coloquy between them had.
Uncle Sam:
My dear beloved Glodia, why SO forlom?
You never looked so, since the day you born,
Come, tell your best friend what causes your plight
Perhaps we together, may put things Alright.
Old Glory:
went forth to war for humanity's laws,
accepted the challenge, against libertys cause
On Europes fields, my colors unfurled
That by my stripes might heal the world
But my Country! failed.
Because was thwarted by craven band
My promises voided by traitor hand.
Thus o! Country failed.
You not vanqushed, banner vic torious,
You did not deserve this treatment Notorious
The fruits from your deeds from you wrested,
By men most ignoble, despsed and detesed.
You have not failed.
They shall depart senatorial halls,
No more to abide in my capitals walls;
They shall not prevail.
Tug would aid % Ss the world
thought to bind the nations together
That men might live as brother to brother,
Because of those in my native land
Who for these principles refused to stand.
That is why failed
Uncle Sam
To vanquish your home-foes part of the task,
To win out so quickly was too much to ask.
IT'S said that Rome not built in day.
This great League of Nations is coming to stay.
You will prevail.
When your enemies are in obloquy held
When with infamy their names shall be spelled
You shall prevail.
Old Glory:
! yearned to inspire all peoples for peace
That my victories would bring all warst cease,
That nation would rise against nation,
And deeds of fraternity be the worlds
But my plea in vain,
Because few senators, disgrace to the name,
Scofed at my victory, and crushed me with shame,
Thus my plea vain .
Uncle Sam:
Arise hold symbol, and shake off your sadness,
You yet will float proudly in joy and in gadness
And the world bathed in the beams of your light,
United in bonds of justice and right
1t not in vain
Ere this bunch of bigots under the sod
Or their poor souls have gone to their God
Your will win.
Old Glory:
l thank you great spirit, now will arise
And again float my stars against the blue skies,
My colors hence forth bravely will float
III ask from my buges a still louder note

When they my honor and achievements assai,
