The Consolidated Gas Company and

the number of maternity cases Indicated
no tendency on the part of married
women to decline the responsibilities OF

her organization secured tthe adoption
of about $50 babies a year and that
she had noted no difference In the num-
ber of youngsters available. Miss Theis
said that most organizations which have
to do with child adoption made every
endeavor to place parents in such
position that they could care for their
own children. and that therefore 1t was
probable that fewer babies needed
foster parents. The demand for babies
to adopt had not decreased. she
