George Greene Chambers at an early
hour Tuesday night He had made
brave fight but his body was too frail
and he peacefully passed to sleep to
awaken in the other world where there
will be no pain and suffering He
had been confined to his bed for many
months and was a great sufferer His
mother, Mrs Mary Greene Chambers,
was his constant nurse day and night,
and was with him to soothe away his
pains.

to the hospital at Greenville but it
was soon discovered that his case
was a hopeless one and as he was so
anxious to be among his loved ones,
he was allowed to return home. He
has been confined to his bed since,
has been great sufferer at all times.
but he always greeted one with q
smile, and never complaint passed
his lips. His death was quiet and
peaceful, only closing his eyes as a

ADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR
CHILDREN BORN OUT OF
WEDLOCK

The movement for the securing a
greater measure of justice for the more
than $4,000 children born out of we'd
lock in the United States each year,
the United States Department of La
Dor through the Childrens Bureau an
nouced today, has just received the
sanction of legal organization of the
highest authority. The National Con-
ference of Commissioners on Uniform
State Laws, at it's 32d annual meeting
held in San Francisco the first week OF
August, approved uniform illegitima-
cy act and recommended it to the
States for adoption. Professor Ernest
Freund of the University of Chicago
Law School was chairman of the COM
mittee which drafted the proposed
law.
The action Of the commissioners
was the outgrowth of a series Of re-
gional conferences held in 1920 under
the auspices Of the Children's Bureau
and the Inter-City Conference on ille-
gi(imacy, 10 consider standards of leg
islation and protection for children of
illegi.imate birth. In discussing the
proposed law Miss Grace Abbott,
Chief of the Children's Bureau, point
ed out that it deals almost entirely
with the obligation of the parents for
the childs support, and leaves open
the questions Of status and Inheritance
rights. She stated that it is N pro-
ceedings for determining paternity
and compelling support that uniform
ity Of State legislation is most essen
tial The difficulty of bringing to trial
father who lives in another State
from that in which the mother resides
or who absconds to another State TO
escape his obligations has been one
OF the principal obstacles in the way
of legal action.
With few exceptions, illegitimacy
laws now II force in American States
date back many years and in the opin-
ion of Miss Abbott are very defective
by reason of low maximum age limits
to which support can be required, small
amounts authorized, limitations as to
jurisdiction, possibility of settlement
for extremely inadequate amounts, or
ineffective means of enforcing com
pliance with the judgment of the court.
The proposed law places upon both
parents of child born out of we'd
lock the obligation of furnishing him
maintenance, education, and support
The father is made liable for tic ex-
pense of the mothers pregnancy and
confinement. The obligation of the
father, where his paternity has been
judicially established in his life time
or acknowledged by him, is enforce
able against his estate, having regard
to various factors relative to the child,
the mother, and the fathers lawful
family.
