The disturbed conditions here is an
asset instead Of liability said Dr.
Mckeever. There are law violations
everywhere. If only cities that have
no violations were allowed to enter
there would be no contests and the
fact that Ardmore is not trying to
cover up but is trying to bring to the
surface all matters connected with law
enforcement counts for the city and
not against it.
In this regard DR.. McKeever says
the city that tries to cover up is the
one that falls down The judges for
this work were picked with great care.
they look into civic affairs and county
affairs and they are men of broad ex-
perlence who know how TO do these
things and Ardmore is not trying to
cover up but is trying to bring to
the surface all matters connected with
law enforcement counts for the city
and not against it.
Ardmore stands at the top in the
work that its women are doing. In no
other city are the women organized
as they are here. In no other city are
the women so alert. In no other city
do women leave their homes for civic
work as they do here and Ardmore is
giving the world an example in the
awakening that has come to its wo.

MRS. DICK MAKES
PLEA FOR B BABIES.
Ryonis Club Members Urged
to Take Up Work Caring
for Small Children.

The neglect Of education OF the
mothers of the nation is the worst
blot on civilization" Mrs. Fred Dick
member Of the Better Cities Contest
committee told members OF the RyoniS
Club today noon, in concluding her
plea that the Ryonis club take up the
matter Of caring for the children be-
fore their coming into the world and
through the pre.schoo age.
THE needs Of the children must be
looked after before they come into the
world" Mrs. Dick said, 'the over
worked mother, who in the large ma
jority Of cases. Is ignorant and unable
to give the child the right kind of
attention, must be taught. Establish
center where mothers and expectant
mothers may go and receive instruc-
tions on this, the greatest thing in
life."
The speaker then gave statistics
showing that more than 100000 babies
die before they reach the age OF one
year. She told of the work being done
in Denver along this line and urged
that the Ryonis club stand behind the
school nurse and cooperate with her
In every way possible TO help in this
particular kind Of work.
Praises Work for School Children
Mrs. Dick took occasion to praise
the work being done for the children
OF school age and in connection with
this also referred to what had been
accomplished in Colorado In the es'
tablishment of the Child Welfare Bu'
reau. Particular emphasis was laid on
the Importance of having the child
work done Jointly by both men and
women. TOO long the work OF caring
for the child has been left TO the
mothers. and now We must have help
OF the fathers" she said. Probably
one of the most significant results
the most far.reachlng results Of the
work we are doing" she continued.
lis that the fathers are becoming
awakened to this great need"
Parent-Teachers Association
Attention was called to the fact that
the committee of judges included men,
"Fathers have been so busy looking
after making the big round dollar. tho
child has been neglected. but through
the splendid and powerful Parent
Teachers associations, this state OF az
fairs Is passing" The fact that atten
ton and money has been spent on
other animals TO the neglect OF the
human animal was bitterly depored
by the speaker.
With regard to the establishment,
of center FOR mothers and babies
Mrs. Dick urged that Il not be pu'
