GOdmOther to 30, 900, 900 q. s. Children Says Need
 Of Hour Is Education
lBy International News seryicel

,By International News seryice)
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Ask Miss Grace Abbott, the new government mother to some 3O.00O,0O0 American children, what is the crying need for the American child of today and you get an answer quick as flash:
 "Education!"
 Of course there are other things that are vitally needed to benefit the child life of America. But first and foremost stands education. After that comes hy- giene, the abolition of child labor and kindred matters. Education will era dicate the other ills afflicting Amer ican child life. With education, hy- giene will take care of itself, and with education there can be no child labor. because the evils of it are clear to the educated mind
 No idle dreamer is this new god mother to the children of America, who has taken over the children's bu. reau of the department of labor. It is one of the biggest jobs a woman can hold in Washington, except perhaps in point of salary.

UNCLE SAM HAS LITTLE NAVY
 OF HIS OWN
ony International News scrvice)

WASHINGTON, Get 6. - Uncle Sam, despite the huge battleships
 'ipl.ug eff the ways and joining other huge ships making up the sec ond largest navy afloat, is a little navy man" In this respect he prob ably owns one of the best little nayics" in the world, Literally speak ing.
 This navy is little, in all senses of the word, yet is model navy, too, In fact. it is made up of model ships models of protection of detail and models of the largest ships that make up the real United States navy
 It is not generally known. except to Washington tourists perhaps. that for generations back every ship in the American navy was represented by q small-scale counterpart. beauti- fully made. These small models have accumulated and today form an interesting study in the development of shipping, not only from a naval viewpoint but from the angle of the student of marine architecture. In fact, so valuable are these models as concrete illustrations of the advance in the science of shipbuilding that they are often requisitioned by cities far away for temporary use as group studies fin that subject. Just at pres. ent a number of the models are scat tered in representative groups about the public buildings of Washington as historical exhibits.
 COST RUNS HIGH APIECE
 The miniature navy is we'll repre- sented in the navy department build ings, where the models are a never ending source of interest to all vis- itors.
 These models are in some respects much more than small replicas. Many of them are as large as a good sized rowboat and cost several thou sand dollars to construct. They are

RADlATEs EFFICIENCY

And Miss Abbott brings to 1t no lofty what can be done to better the child life of the nation There is little of feminine fluffiness about her. either personality or the manner in which she has tackled her job. Rather she radiates efficiency-not the cold, steel like efficiency of the machine, but the understanding sort of efficiency that bespeaks a love of her work and an unusual knowledge of human nature.
 Miss Abbott brings into the chil. dren's bureau an experience gained in the school of hard knocks in welfare work. She was born in Nebraska thrty-odd years ago when Nebraska was mostly rural She educated her self by dint of hard work and close application to business which has left ever so tiny wrinkle between her snapping black eyes.
 After graduating from little col lege in Grand Island, Ncb., she did post graduate work at the State uni. versity. and then went to Chicago where she studied philanthropy at the University of Chicago
 The teeming slums and foreign quarters of Chicago fascinated her, and the year that followed her college work found her working hard to ale viate the conditions which she found all too prevalent in the Windy City. For some years she was director of the Chicago League for the Protection of Immigrants. an organization which many now prosperous Chicago busi- ness men remember gratefully
 Then Boston attracted her and she went to Massachusetts as executive secretary of the state immigration commission. Under her direction an exhaustive investigation and report were made in immigration problems. Then Illinois reclaimed her and she went back to the scene of her early experiences as executive secretary of the state immigration commission created in Illinois
 To use her own expression. Miss Abbott "came up from the ranks" to her present position.
 She learned early in her welfare work that to accomplish the most good, welfare work must be started with children. So in 1917 she came to Washington as director of the child labor division of the children's bureau of the department of labor.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-10-06
CHAMPION OF CHILDREN

This division administered the first federal child labor law. and Miss Ab- bolt was. from the beginning, respon- sible for the formation and develop ment of its policies.
 Feeling that she ought to get into work more closely allied with the war, Miss Abbott transferred her abilities to the war labor policies board and rendered able, efficient service until the war closed.
 And there's the story" she con cluded.
 That was not quite the end, for a few days ago President Harding se- lected her from a horde of applicants to head the children's bureau, in which she has labored so diligently as divisional chief. The position pays 8 ,000 a year and is one of the most eagerly sought positions in Washing ton.
 She has entered upon her new duties with a vigor and close application to duty that set a hard example for her associates.
 It was a sweltering late September afternoon when the question was pro pounded to her of what is the crying need of the American child. Outside thousands of government clerks were hurrying down the heat-waved streets, their duty finished. But Miss Abbott stuck grimly to her desk, perspiring,

now made at the Washington Navy Yard and the later models now un- der construction, which are exact re- productions of the latest type of battlcship being built for the navy. will require months to complete They are scaled to proportion and complete to the smallest screw.
 NECESSARY TO PROGRESS
 There is very practical reason for this phase of naval construction These models often serve as valuable guides to naval designers. who can get much more out of a brief examin- atiOn of a scaled model than they could out of a mass of figures and drawings. which constitute the av- craze ships plans. In fact, before every big ship is built a wooden hull. sealed on the proportions of the contemplated vessel, is first made and tried out in the model basin of the navy yard here. From this pre- liminary trial it is possible to de termine approximately the merits or objections to the design and cal culate in advance what the new ship will do when completed. In the de signing room Of the department it self is kept detailed models of the standard types of capital and special ships of the world. from which the designers can get ideas and concrete illustrations of plans.
 or the completed models now on hand the navy has replicas. varying from a foot or two to twelve feet and more, of every type of war vessel from the old time frigate Vermont a square-rigged. 11O-gun ship of 1872. to the latest airplane carrier. In be- tween are battleships of the Maine type, destroyers from first to latest design, sub chasers, all classes of submarines, gunboats and special service ships. All in all they consti- ute a highly valuable little navy"

 CURTAlLMENT INJURIES
 You would be surprised at the mum Der of letters we receive every month asking information on child welfare. Last month there were 5000. Many fthem came from mothers, many came from students. One thing in particular they want-a pamphlet on infant care
 We comply to the best of our ability, but our resources are so scanty in comparison with the de mand. We can only fill about half the requests We receive for literature and advice. The advice is easy. but the literature comes hard Like all other departments in these days of economy we have had to curtail our operations, particularly our printing bill, and it is hard not to be able to supply the demand.
 Last year we sent out 2,4S0, ,976 pamphlets. This year our printing al lowance has been trimmed to $20,000 and many requests will have to be denied"
 Miss Abbott is going to pay particu lar attention to bettermen of child life in the rural districts of America She grew up in rural Nebraska and she knows some of the problems and the heartaches of young rural America.
 For years" she said, we have heard so much about the terrors of child life in the slums and congested centers of cities. It's all true. but 1t is also true that conditions in some parts of our rural regions are just as bad
 Children are kept out of schools to help with the crops; they are kept out of school to tend stock; they are kept out of school to attend to the thousand and one things about farm and it isn't right Children in the rural districts should have the advan, tages of school just as much as those in the cities"
 She is undaunted by lack of funds and other resources necessary to growth and expansion of the bureau
 These are hard times" she said, smiling. We will do the best we can"

TURKS FIRING ALL
 VILLAGES IN THEIR
 HASTY RETREAT
By Associated Press @

EslliShehr, Asia Minor July D. The Greeks entered Eski-Shehr headed by Prince Andrew, but did not stop here Then continued their pursuit of the retreating Turks into the open plains beyond
 The Greek advance was made with the utmost rapidity. By night it's path was frightened by scores of inn mense blazes all along the road and up the mountainside, consisting of burning villages which had been fired by the retiring nationalists. From Ainagul. in radius of 90 miles around Eski- Shehr. few villages are left. Turkish prisoners say it is the purpose of Mustapba kemal Pasha, if he must withdraw in this districc to leave the Creeks nothing but homeless refugees to feed.
 The roads are cnoked with fleeing Turkish refugees from burning yil- lages, making their way towards Brussa in buffalo carts, on asses and afoot with nothing but hastily gath cred intimate belongings. They say their villages were footed by the na- tionalist soldiery, being put on fire.
 Thus whole communities are mi- grating as units in groups of 1000 and 5000 each, greatly impeding the supply service of the Greek army and rendering the countryside unsafe.

 Organization is everything,' de- clared the speaker. Scattered through the state as individuals you can accomplish little except by or ganization through your meetings, men are able to come before you and present to you matters of vital in- terest to the state and thus you are in a position to do your part in the upbuilding of the state. The very things which have transpired here today are reasons why every dealer in the state should become a mem her. These are real questions com ing up in your businss which your association solves and these proh- lems will continue to come before you"
