KEEP MOTHERS
 AND CHILDREN
 TOGETHER

It is against sound public economy to allow poverty alone to cause the separation of a child from the care cipa1 back of the mothers pension system, the admiQistratton of which is discuscsed in a report entitled .'The Administration of the Aid to- Mothers Law in Illinois" recently is- sued by the US. Department of Labor through the Children's bureau
 The Illinois statute of 1911 was the first mcther's pension law in thn country. At present 40 states in the
 The administration of the Illinois law of 1911 was placed with the judges of the juvenile courts through out the State. and very wide discre ton WIS vested in the court In 1913 the law was radically altered and the authority. of the courts was definitely limited. Minor changes have since been made.
 During the first year following the enactment of the pension law in H. linois only 16 counties outside Cook County made any use of it while by the end of 1920 pensions were being ties of the State. At the close Of the first year Of the administration of the original law, there were s27 families on the pension ra1l of the juvenile court of Cook County rep resentine monthly expenditure of almost s7,L0G. while in November. 1919, there were S51 families on the roll with a monthly expenditure mere than four times as great as in 1912.
 The report gives a detailed account of the administration of the law in Cook County which has set an admir- able standard both as to adequacy of pensions and efficiency of administra- tinn. The court follows methods standardized by good private relief agencies in the investigation that pre- cedes the pension grant and also in the supervision of families after they are placed on the p<lsion roll. Aid is administered in such T way as to encourage the self-respect of the ben eficiary, and a relationship of CO., operation is established between the pensioned mother and the supervising probation officer.
 However. methods of adnin.stra- ton are diverse throughout the State. and facts presented Tn the re- port point to the conclusion that the principle of local responsibility for administration should be replaced by some measure of State control or standardization The importance or perfecting the mothers pension laws is strongly emphasized because, the report points out, this system if pro- perly organized and safeguarded may contain the nucleus of new form of State aid free from the pauperizing effect of the old public charities, and capable of considerable extension, along with the actual economy of ex- penditure-

Stil1man had told him Fred Beauvais, Indian guide. was the father of Guy Stillman. her youngest son, was asked to come to Cleveland to appear before an investigating g committee at the annual convention of the American OSteopathic AsSo- citation, which opened here yester- day.
 A telegram was sent Dr. Russell urging him to appear to tell his side of the story. The alleged violation of professional ethics by Dr. Russell was to be thoroughly investigated, pr. Kendrick Smith, national chairman of the public education committee, said. A committee will be appointed to go into the testimony of Dr. Rus sell and to rule on the question of whether he should not have gone to jail rather than reveal the confidence of a patient
 sTt was Dr. RusselPs plain duty to go to jail for contempt of court rather than testify to confidential inforIna- tion which should have been sec ret" pr. Smith said.
 Dr. Russell contends that he did not testify until forced to do so by the court.

URGE COLLECTION
 OF BACK TAXES

Nine members of the Board of Ap- portionment met yesterday afternoon in the City Hall, Chairman Seeley presiding. Various transfers were granted and the question of deficits taken up- The most serious problem was in connection with the charities department which has a deficit of 'SS6, ,000, and another item of $10,5o0 due to small local dealers for sup plies and provisions. The charities department incurred this great def- cit under the impression that they would be given S300,00o raised by bond issue to administer, believing that they could pay off their debts
 The general feeling of the mem bers of the board was that the city decidedly ought to pay the S1o,50o, as the tradesmen to whom this IS due are in many cases in great need However, there was only $2,391.49 left in the contingent fund, by the time this request was heard. Under these circumstances a resolution was passed calling upon the tax collector ito make every effort to collect back taxes due the city and to publish the names of those persons or corpora- tions who owe taxes prior to 1919-2O.
 The Congress street bridge came back into prominence at the meeting, "a request for an additional s41.000 over the $50, 900 already appropriated for these repairs having been made. The board allowed the transfer of $10,o00 from the director of public works, bituminous pavement repairs, and another item of $6,000 from the general sidewalk grading fund An other S10.00O was transferred from the street spinkHng fund to the fund for general repairs on bridges.
 The. request of the City Court for S5,625 to pay for the increased sal aries of the court, was laid upon the table. The Fire department was granted s12,391 from the contingent fund to clear up all of their deficits The Board of Health also received s15.O69 to pay an old bill of the City Ice and Coal Co.,, a bill which is one of those which the city agreed to pay when they took over the Garbage Dis posaI plant of Charles G. Fisher. The Health department also received from the same fund the sum of SS,000 to keep up the dispensary in the fight against veneral disease
 The rest of the business was con cerned with items of lesser import ance, mostly consisting of small transfers within departments.

12 YEAR OLD
 5 ON EINSTEIN

New York, July 26-Edwin Roche Hardy. Columbia's 12-year-o1d prod igy, has contributed his own interpre tation of Einstein's theory of rela- tivity, flying in the face of silence held on the subject by the older and more caution professors. He declares that the common confusion on the subject is due Iargly to the fact that Fdson, Curbe and ETnstein were thrust simultaneously on the American in- telIigence.
 t1t is really simple" said the young master of a dozen languages, whose intelligence since his discovery by the public in September has received the added impetus of a. year in college. "In fact. I should say that it depends largely on the question of your own capacity to understand
 t'It is impossible to measure the ab- so1ute motion of bodies, but they can be measured in relation to each other. Therefore, a man moving with the speed of light never grows olds. The length of a measuring stick depends upon the direction of it's motion.
 "Gravtiation is due to a warp in space Time and space don't exist apart from matter. Mass is latent energy.
 "It was indeed a blow to the people of the American Republic to have the discoveries of Mime. Curie, Edison and Einstein thrust upon their vision si- multaneously," he added in explaining why the public had failed to grasp this "simp1e' theory. 'But they are recovering and are even planning an experiment to measure the drag of surrounding ether on the earth If this drag is considerable it will prove the authenticity of EinStein's theory; if not, why of course we will cease to have the question of relativity to wrangle over"
 Hardy graduated from school at the age of eleven, and since that time has spent a year in Columbia, where his studies included the. more obscure mathematics and specialized courses in ancient history He is at present resiStere in the univerSity's Summer session, where he is pursuing the study of the Chinese tongue. his four teenth language. He intends to use these languages in missionary work.
