CITES D. C.'S CRYING NEED
Justice Gould Advocates Care Of
Feebie-Ainded and Poor.

Speaking before an. audience that
crowded the rooms Of the French
Club at 1917 H street last night, As
sociate Justice Gould of the District
Supreme Court said that the crying
need of Washington was for some
provision to care for the ,feeble-mind-
ed and those thrown on public charity
by disease or other misfortune.
There is absolutely no place where
We can send mentally defective COL
ored children, and they must be
thrown back on the community, to it's
detriment as well as their own" said
the justice. The only disposition We
can make Of white children similarly
unfortunate is to send them to New
Jersey. There is no place here in the
capital of our nation for them. Old
men and women suffering from Moth
ing worse than senile dementia, the
penalty of advancing age, must be
sent to st. Elizabeth's Hospital for
tho Insane. and that is a harsh
method of dealing with them"
Commissioner Mabel G. Boardman
also addressed the club, telling anus
ing incidents that occurred during her
early work for the Red Cross. A very
extensive program OF music and dane
ing was given in connection with the
meeting. President Rudolph de Zapp
