Starting of a
Good Work

Some of the women of Pennington
feeling SO keenly the need for home
for neglected and delinquent children,
asked Mrs. F. s. Weber to ask one wo-
man from each Missionary Society to
meet at the Library something like
three weeks ago.
At this meeting great interest was
felt, and it was decided to call another
meeting a few days later to organize
and make call to each Club and So-
ciety to send delegates to the next
meeting, or if impossible to send del
egates, to send letter stating the at
titude of said Club or Society in this
matter.
Mrs. F. S. Weber was unanimously
elected chairman, and Mrs. Edwin
Cook, secretary. This meeting ad-
journed to meet the following Thurs
day. a~ t2tt
The secretary having sent the call
60 Clubs and Societies out of town to
send delegates, they came at the ap-
pointed time in goodly numbers full
of enthusiasm and love for these un-
fortunate children. After getting here
they found it inconvenient to see the
court, so they asked to come the fol-
lowing morning. While the women
were waiting to interview the court.
they signed a petition to be presented
to Judge Huck, asking him to appoint
Visitation Board to consist of six
people-three men and three women,
whose duty it shall be to inspect pris-
ons, almshouses and any other cases
Of neglect.
On last Saturday morning there
were representative women from all
parts of the county here to meet with
the County Court in regard to secur-
ing a home for neglected and delin-
nuent children.
Several of the women spoke at
length to the court, explaining to them
the great need for this home for the
children in their own home and COM
munity After this there were many
questions asked by both the court and
women; each trying to solve this need
in the best way for the children and
the people of the county.
1t was decided by both the court
and the women that there should be a
farm of not less than fifty acres with
a good dwelling house and other out
buildings, This place to be, prefera-
bly,, near the Lead Belt, and in an ac-
cessible location.
1t is the desire of the committee and
the court that suggestions be made to
either Of them in regard to the most
available place for this purpose, the
price if for sale, or if for rent by the
year, at what rental, or if for long
lease.
The sentiment in favor of such a
home for the unfortunate children of
this County. is growing rapidly, and
there viii be no cessation Of this work
until these children are saved from sin.
ignorance, and faith.
It is the aim Of the County Court to
make. real farm home for these chill
dren. There are to be horses, cows,
pigs and large poulty plant; also
fruit and berries. and any and every
thing that goes to make home.
What will we do with the neglected
and delinquent children Of this Coun-
ty? The issue is before US. What
will we do? 3,.ai

SUNSHINE NO CURE
FOR BAD BUSINESS
Reducing Railroad and Indus
trial Costs Only Way to
Prosperity, Says Bank.

The National City Bank says in its
October letter that the whole business
situation is oostructed and clogged by
the high railroading and the excessive
industrial costs, Those factors, the bank
asserts, are placing goods beyond the
consumers purchasing power.
This is the principal reason" the let
ter declares. why millions OF men are
out of work, and ii will have to be
squarely faced before any general re-
covery can take place. The sunshine
cure is no remedy for this situation
full talk while this unbalanced state of
industry exists.''
Although the letter, which discusses
business and financial conditions, was
prepared before the recommendations of
the unemployment conference in Wash
ington were announced, the writer evil
IDENTIFY had that meeting in mind and an
ticipated some of its suggestions. The
letter continues:
1T prosperity will not be created
by unemployment conferences unless
they bring about an understanding of
the necessity for reducing industrial
costs. Such makeshiftS as spreading
what employment there is to include the
unemployed and creating employment
upon public works are at best effective
only as a means of tiding over a tenn
porary situation and are chiefly objec-
tionable because they actually postpone
readjustments necessary to restoration
OF a normal state of industry. The
natural course for an employer to pursue
when reductions of force must be made
is TO retain the oldest and most worthy
employees. and it is not likely that many
will be persuaded to do otherwise"
The bank says that the existing situa-
ton presents a test of the quality of
labor leadership. The number of wage
earners without jobs or on part time. it
contends, shows the futility Of attempt
ing to maintain wage rates above the
economic level. The stubborn deterInina-
ton not to yield simply delays the hoped
for revival.
The bank finds that signs of business
Improvement are discernible here and
there. Crop moving. however, is not
affording the normal autumn stimulus.
owing in part TO the low prices of farm
products and in part to the fact that
the proceeds are going largely to pay
old debts.
''rhere is not enough business to go
around" says. the letter. (which makes

Watson, are the places where mo-
ton picture films are stored. The
flames burn fast among this sort
OF material he says, and when con.
fined to closed rooms have explosive
qualities that make them particu.
larly dangerous. However. he be.
lieves that with the new regulations
concerning the storing If films
which go into effect on March 8,
next, this hazard will be reduced to
a minimum.
Next in order to the fire hazards,
Chief Watson says, is the gasoline
filling stations and garages, but
these places are held down now with
such strict regulations and are sub
ject to such scrutinizing inspections,
that Washington is far better off
than most cities.
"The danger Of serious fire in a
Washington theater Is very re-
mote" Chief Watson says.
The duties Of fireman at a the.

at the theater he must personally
inspect every exit and see that they
are not locked and can be easily
opened. Then he turns his atten-

New Inspection
Scheme Started.
AS soon as Chief Watson assumed
office as head Of the department he
inaugurated one Of the most help
full preventative measures against
fire in the history Of the city. In
former years all the inspections
were made by the fire marshal and
his deputies. Chief Watson saw the
great need for a larger inspection
force and more frequent inspections.
Having limited numbec Of men
to detail a sufficient number at the
fire marshars office he devised an.
other plan. This was to have the
members Of the fire companies make
systematic inspections OF every
large building in their territory.
Now every member of the fire de-
partment, in addition to being
trained firefighter. is also trained
fire prevention man. Each engine
company details a man to make In.
specimens OF every large building In
his territory every week. The in
spection detail is changed every
week so that every man in the
company gets a turn at the inspec-
ton. ..
The first week Of Chief watson's
regime in the fire department, saw
three apartment house fires, which
originated in the basement. Of the
buildings, and while they did no
great damage, they produced q panic
among the tenants. Nov every
apartment house is inspected at least
once a week. and special attention
is paid to the cellars to see that no
inflannmable material lie allowed to
pile up there.

In the Russian provinces, the gov
eminent, on its withdrawal, took
with 1t all the trained operators of
the public service-those Of the tele-
phone and telegraph, and the per.
sonnet Of the street car lines and
railroads. Besides their work In
rescuing those left destitute by the
war. the Circle de la Travail des
Femmes took up many outside &C
tivities. 1t was these women who
cared for the wounded soldiers Of
the Russian army, for whom no
provision had been made.
At present the work of this or.
ganization is directed toward the
education Of women and children in
different trades. and it supports day
nurseries, classes in sewing and
