AID BILL FOR
NATIONS CAPITAL
Hundred Thousand Dollars Provided
For the Purpose of Keeping
Children in Homes.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Based OF the
best figures of the laws of forty-one
States, Senator Calder's bill for moth
er's aid in Washington, D. c., carrying
100000 appropriation, is before the
Senate. It provides that all mothers
who have resided in the District of
Columbia at least a year, and who
need financial aid in order to keep
their children at home, can obtain such
aid after an impartial investigation
has shown (1) whether the mother is
a fit person, capable Of bringing up
such child; (2) whether conditions
in the home are suitable for the prop
er upbringing of the child; (3) what
resources are available for the main
tenance of the family; (4) if the
father of such child be living and able
to provide support whether legal steps
have been taken to compel fulfillment
of his obligation, and (5) the amount
of aid needed.
Proponents of mothers relief as a
function of Government contend that
as citizens are the greatest asset to a
nation, agency which makes for better
citizenship is worthy of Government
support. Farming out" children
from homes which inadequate income
makes unfit for bringing them up, does
not work out well in practice. Law
has found no substitute for mother
love and care. The theory is that
when a mother is fit to care for
her child at all, she is the best person
to make it good citizen, and that it
is cheaper to maze it poss bic for her
to do so than to expend the money in
institutions, in paying for farming
out" children, or in providing reform
schools and work houses for children
who have not had home advantages.
The bill has been referred to the
Senate district committee for report,
which committee will probably refer
it to the District commissioners for
their advice.

STRIKE SITUATION
AT SPENCER SUNDAY
Waterman Feeding Spencer Shops
Blown Up-Box Cars Burned and
Other Acts Committed.


ing up of the twelve-inch main feed
ing water to the Spencer shops of the
Southern railway shortly after mid
night, an outbreak of promiscuous
shooting a few hours later, followed
closely by the burning of several box
cars in the railway yards and the ar
rival of contingent of twenty-five
more employees without molestation
marked the strike situation here today.
A negro fireman who was passing
near the scene of the explosion, which
occurred about midnight, was severely
injured by flying debris and was given
medical attention. The blowing up
of the main shut off the entire water
supply for engines and for fire pur-
poses, many trains being seriously de-
layed. A force of men are tonight at
work on the main and officials hoped
to have it sufficiently repaired to get
a supply of water during the night.
The main, which was one foot in
diameter, carrying ordinary city pres
sure, was apparently blown up by dy-
Mantle at point inside the shop yards
between a row of unused box cars and
the fence surrounding the property.
A section of the pipe was entirely
blown out and hole the size Of a
small house was left In the ground.
A huge stream of water flooded that
section of Spencer for several hours
until it could be shut off.
The authorities have worked all day
in an effort to find clue to fix the
responsibility for the explosion, but
no arrests had been made up to to-
night.
A quantity of dynamite caps were
stolen from the Southern premises
several nights ago near the spot where
the explosion occurred, according to
railway officials.
Four hours after the Waterman was
blown up several box cars. standing
on the outskirts of the yards, caught
fire and were destroyed. General
Manager R. E. Simpson manned an
engine which carried crew to the
scene to fight the blaze. The origin
of the fire has not been determined.
The disorders during the past eigh-
teen ho1rs have served to add to the
intense excitement which has pre-
vailed here for the past three or four
days. It was expected that Col. Don
E. Scott, in c,:.nmand of the conpan-
les of National Guardsmen camped
three miles from Spencer, would de-
tail troops to guard the railroad dur
ing the night. No troops had been
sent to the shops up to 9 o'clock to-
night. Master Mechanic Mcbride said
that the question of whether he would
ask for troops depended on subse-
quent events.
twenty-five men were added to force
Twenty-Five men were added to the
today. To avoid picket lines the con-
tingent got off at Yadkin, two miles
from Spencer, and walked to the shops
Their arrival occasioned no disorder.

JUST EIGHT MORE WORKING DAYS
and THE STORY WILL BE TOLD
BONUS CREDITS MUST BE EARNED NOW BY THOSE WHO WOULD
THIS BATTLE A AR-CONTEsTANTS URGED
TO BEND EVERY EFFORT FOR LEADERS ARE CLOSE.

There are just eight more working
days in The Record Salesmanship
Club, and contestants should not spend
an idle waking hour Of this time. It's
vital time and the fate of all as far
as this campaign Is concerned hangs
on the effort made and the results &C.
complished during these last EIGHT
days.
Then, the elimination of these hours
of effort and hard work will mean
to the fortunate and most aggressive
candidates their share of the awards
offered.
The best worker in each district will
receive Ford Touring Car or
Roadster, and the other awards will
be distributed according to the rela-
tive standing Of the remaining candi-
dates and ten per cent. commission
will be paid those non-prize winners
who have completed to the end and
made weekly reports according to the
rules of the campaign.
Contestants should bear in mind
that the opportunities offered today,
this week, NOW, must be grasped If
they wish to be numbered with the
winners. They should REMEMBER
IA FORD TOURING CAR OR A
ROADSTER is theirs, f they go af-
ter it. BECAUSE-of all the super
ior workers in this campaign, none
has a lead that persistency cannot
overcome.
This is campaign Of entirely too
small results.
Enthusiasm and determined desire
to WIN has not been demonstrated
to a great enough degree.
For these reasons We know that
any candidate who wills to, and is
determined to win, CAN win if the
proper effort is put forth.
No one candidate has walk over"
or a ''ride away" for the Grand
Prizes, nor is anyone hopelessly beat
en-. Just a goodly number Of sub
scriptions turned in for the account
of any of the various candidates and
new leaders are furnished. While
those who halt for a moment, or
weaken for a single day, or overlook
a single opportunity to better their
chances, are running the risk OF losing
the big prize, already partially won.
It is a battle from now on. Speed
assists, but the rugged strength and
lasting quality of a few hundred
more subscriptions will mean many
CREDITS and a final victory.
The Workers.
Mrs. L. S. Dennis was awarded the
cash offered this week. She also made
some inroad in the lead Mrs. ]. l..
Minis and Mrs. w. F. Prevatt had
over her last week. She still holds
sway over Miss Maude Allene Kinder,
who is determining to do her best
work now, and whose chances are ex-
cellent, as are those of. Miss Hattie
Stuckey and others still a little far
ther down the list.
There will be two cash awards next
week. Six dollars will go to the best
worker; four dollars will 60 to the
second best worker.
1t is still anybody's race and only
time can name the winner.

MISkE PLEASES

tie With Tom
Gibbons.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York. Oct. 10.-Billy Miske
INDUCED in a rafting workout to-
day in an uptown gymnasium be-
for large crowd of critical sports.
Most of the spectators had not seen
Miske in action SINCE he fought in
the Jersey City arena the time
Dempsey flattened Carpenter. He
is an utterly changed man today.
He fights now as we'll as boxes.
He is heavier and looks more
rugged. He is determined to win
the right to meet Jack Dempsey
once again.
Tommy Gibbons arrived from the
east today, and is looking very fit.
He takes on a brace of sparring
partners this afternoon. Gibbons is
quiet, as usual. He remarked
merely that he hoped to prove
against Miske that Just because
Harry Greb made him appear fool
ish he is no back number. The
fight is attracting lot of attention.
Professional layers are in doubt
just how to bat. More even money
was offered on Miske today than
was taken by Gibbons admirers
and this means, probably, that the
odds will be on Miske.

The best chance the owners have
to make money on series is to
get at least one extra game i'll the
series for their own. This year
they did not get the benefit of the
extra game for they gave. the re-
ceipts to charity when the episode
OF the tie game and the boolng OF
Commissioner Lands got on their
nerves.
In 1921 there were eight games
played. 1t seemed that the series
was too long. Everyone was tired
and the attendance dropped 10000
as compared with earlier days. 1t
was decided to cut the series to a
possible seven games and it was
mighty good thing that the two
wealthiest clubs in the major
leagues were involved as there
would have been wild bowls Of ag-
ony if some of the weaker clubs
had been caught in the present
financial jam.
One odd thing in the 1922 series
was the prevalence Of the figure
three. The first game was 3 to 2;
the second to 3; the third. ) to 0;
the fourth to 3 and the last 5 to
8. The latter just about represents
the relative strength Of the two
teams.
AS for Ruth. no figure is large
enough to register his disgust, but
there is a noticeable absence of
sympathy with him. There has
been reason to talk turkey to this
young man at times this year. 1t
is sure he is not much in world s
series and the Yanks would have
i\been as we'll off with Ruth on the
bench. The pitchers made a tar
get of him and when he failed the
whole tower of Yankee strength fell
with him.
