NEED BOARDING
HOMESFOR TOTS

The Chidren's Bureau has had in
its care for some months. Hazel. a
three -year-old cripple child. Her
parents are people of limited means,
and as there are five other children
i'm the family they were not in
position to give her the care and at
tention that she needs. For a year
and a half she was in the Delaware
Hospital being cared for because OF
tubercular trouble, and the hospital
asked the Bureau to obtain a suit
able home near the hospital for her
Hazel was not able to walk.
The Children's Bureau placed her
in one of their boarding homes, and
some OF the friends the child made
while at the hospital assist the par
ents in making it possible for her
to stay there. AS her family live
far in the country. they are delight
ed to have Hazel living in the city
so that she may attend regularly the
clinic and be under the constant su-
pervision of the doctor.
Hazel had been so long at the hos
pital that, at first, she did not like
being placed anywhere else, and was
rather cross and irritable. but she
has improved wonderfully since be-
ing with her boarding mother. She
now walks and always has a CHEEKY
smile for everyone.
The Childrens Bureau is boarding
about twenty children in similar
homes. Some Of them are in the
country and the suburbs, others are
i'm the city. All the little young
sters in these homes are supervised
by the Visitors OF the Bureau. The
boarding system is found very useful
in cases where circumstances neces-
state children being cared for dur
ing short periods of time, and alsC
as in the case Of Hazel for children
who need special attention. Last
summer the Bureau arranged tc
board six children of one family for
six weeks while the mother was iii
in the hospital
The Children's Bureau is always
on the lookout for more boarding
homes. especially those located in
the country or suburbs. At the
present time. Catholic boarding
homes are needed. Persons inter.
ested and desiring to help some chile
by boarding it. may communicate

Bank Commissioner Medin explained
the purposes OF the bills. one OF
these bills is practically a codihca-
ton OF the banking laws Of the State.
Mayor Taylor explained. He said It
would add some restrictions to the
banking business not contained in
the present laws.
Mr.. Rossell in speaking OF this
bill said II It is enacted IL will give
TO Delaware the most complete and
concrete banking laws Of any state
in the Union.
The bill makes several changes
over the present law Under the
present law an individual. firm or
corporation cannot borrow from
bank more than 10 per cent of its
capital, surplus and undivided profits,
while the new law increases that to
25 per cent. 10 per cent. OF which
can be unsecured and 10 per cent. on
collateral.
The present law places no re-
stricuon on the amount that a bank
can borrow while the new provides
that a bank cannot borrow above its
capital stock and surplus unless by
special permission OF the State Bank
Commissioner. Another provision
made in the proposed law is that
one-half OF the reserve Of banks may
be in liberty bonds which are count
ed at 80 per cent. OF their market
value, II the bank commissioner
gives the bank that authority.
The bill would repeal the present
State bank laws. which. IL is thought,
would be necessary to avoid any
complications relative to taxing
banks should the new bill be en-
acted.
The third bill would place a tax
on the capital shares OF national
and State banks and trust COM
panies. 1t is one-hfth OF one per
cent. and Bank Commission Medill
said Il is estimated that IL would
bring TO the State next year about
$50, 200. II was explained that un-
der the present law the capital and
surplus OF banks are taxed and there
is a question as to whether a tax
like that can be placed on national
banks. some Of which have refused
to pay 1t. In answer to a question
asked by Senator Alice. it was
stated by Mr. Medill that his office
collected s24.0s5 last year and the
cost Of running the Office was
s1l,146. In 1918, before the State
: bank commissioner act went into
effect only Mr. Medill said the taxes
! paid by banks and trust companies
81 Of the State amounted to onl,
! f2,l22. He declared that the method
p proposed under the new bill was the
only sure way that all the bankinl
institutions including national bank,
in the State can be taxed
