And she wouldn't let me have company
at the house. Said they was in the way
and the kids had to go to sleep. Father
is working man
How'd We git arrested?" asked an
inquiring member of the group.
"Oh," she replied, 81 met some girls
who had fellas, and I went out to FIT.
Harrison with them One night / didn't
go home and the cops got me-"
Here one of the sewers added a bit of
local color by the remark that my beau's
gone to France, and I don't care if he
don't never come back"
The conversation was interrupted, a
childs voice demanding that her dollie
have a new dress made from scrap Of
the bingham. Mabel, our "incorrigible"
volun teered to drop her own sewing until
dollie was provided for. This was char
acteristic. The big generous heart Of
the motherless girl was the first to be
appealed to by every girl in the ward in
times Of trouble.
MABEL OFFERS
AID TO OTHERS.
1t was Mabel who shared her Sunday
dish of ice cream with Gracie the wards
6-year- old 1t was she who wrote the
letter to the mother of one of the girls
too i'll to write; 1t was she who loaned her
Sunday dress to Margaret the day Mar
garet was permitted to go to town with
a social worker who was helping her to
find a place to work; yes, and it was
Mabel who led in the local theatricals the
night the ward was turned into a play
house, and the girls staged scene from
Robinson Crusoe. When there were IA
vors to be asked Of the nurse, or when
some sacrifice on the part of one girl for
the sake of the others was needed, Mabel
was the one called upon.
The following day the city court com
mittee was in session in the nurses
reception room at the city hospital. Mrs.
S. was three-the same Mrs S. who had
brought Mabers hair-pins.
Its a shame club women don't know
what these girls are up against" one
member was saying. why, l never
! dreamed there were so many homeless
girls in Indianapolis until 1 came out

her merry, dancing eyes, her tousled
blonde hair, her physical frame, large
and strong. I hear her laughter ringing
down the corridor Of the city hospital
where she was detained by the board or
health.
Here is what the hospital record says.
Just a moment! Before reading, please
forget that you find her in the deten-
ton ward of a hospital as a forced
charity patient
The record reads: Patient is IT;
mother has been dead four years
father was married eight months
previous to her entrance to the hospital
each had been married before; mother
had six girls and father had three boys
by previous marriage; patient is the
only child by the second marriage; she
has been working at a restaurant as a
waitress at 81 a week and board. Paid
s. a week for room.
Patient was placed in State instltu-
ton when a child on account of iu-
corrigibility. Later, the father took the
girl from this institution, thinking that
he could take care of and control her.
She then secured factory work at $l4
week, paying So a week for board and
room Worked five weeks, then ran away.
Was found living with strangers and ar
rested
Court record states that she is one
Of the worst girls they have ever had.
She has no moral sense whatsoever. She
is very large for her age, and attractive
looking. Does not appear to be lacking
mentally. but very much so morally"

CLARENDON-SUMTER
ANNEXATION FIGHT
PUT UP TO COURTS

One Of the last acts of the lcgis-
laturc was to vote on the dispute
between Sumter and Clarendon
counties over the proposed anncxa-
tion of portion Of Clarendon to
Sumter. The legislature adopted a
conference committee report which
put the matter up TO the courts.
Last summer Il part of Clarendon
county, containing about 93 square
miles, voted to join Sumter county.
A bill was introduced in the legiS-
laturc by Representative Noise, to
ratify this election. Representative
Curtis, of Manning, Clarendon
county's seat, opposed the bill and
offered substitute, to divide the
section, allowing part to JOIN
Clarendon. The part that was de
sirou Sof remaining in Clarendon,
and not abiding the result Of the
annexation election, contains about
80 square miles. The house voted
with Mr.. Curtis and allowed the di-
vision Of the annexation territory,
regardless of the election last year.
The senate reversed this taking
the position that the result Of the
election would have to stand, and
that all of the territory would have
to go as the result Of the election
said go-~to Sumtcr The confer
cncc committee, however, took a
position with Mr.. Curtis. with the
proviso that the courts would allow
the division of the territory already
voted to join Sumter. If The courts
sus ,ain this position, the 80, square
miles will remain with Clarendon,
despite the vote Of last year, and
the G3 squar" miles will be annexed
to Sumter.

APPROPRIATION FOR
1921 BY ASSEMBLY "

Columbia. March following the
session in which physical endurance
was the main requisite, the General
ceeding the statutory limit of forty
days by fifteen days, adjourned sine
die this morning at $3.50 o'clock.
A mass of acts Of purely local APP
plication were approved, but few laws
of Statewide Importance were en-
acted. This Legislature has been one
of controversy, with small accomplish
mcnts of a real constructive nature,
but, accoRlmg to the consensus Of
opinion the rejection Of legislation of
ordinary character is of more salutary
benefit to the State than the enact
ment Of the various proposed laws.
Before the sun rose this morning
the confcrces on the general appro-
priation bill had agreed and it was
reported to both houses. They adopt
ed the report and sent il to the Gov
ernor, wearicd from his long wait,
but he approved it: The General AS
sembly then ceased its business.
The bill as adopted carries levy
of not exceeding y mills and has a
total of appropriations of $6,534 ,924.-
81, hastily tabulatcd. This is il reduc-
tion over the House bill and that Of
the Senate. The House bill carried a
total of $G,5G4 ,36l.7l. Last year the
finance bill carried appropriations ag
gregating $G,097, ,IAl, Il decrease of APP
proximately $500,000 under those Of
this year. The total requests, accord
ing to the budget report for this year,
Of all departments and activities of
the State government, was $685.

Dutch Watches Movement

The Hague, March 8.-As much of
Hollands commercial prosperity de-
pends on the Rhine district, the Dutch
government is watching closely the
effect Allied occupation Of the region
or the proposed customs collections
will have on the Dutch trade.
While losses may be incurred
through Il decrease in the Rhine
trade, Dutch officials take the view
that nothing can prevent Germany
sending as much merchandise as she
plcases direct into Holland over the
railroads, which are expected to han
die it to their capacity
The Dutch evening newspapers gen
orally are unfavorablc to the action
of the Allies
