What Causes a "Dimple."

Our skin is attached, by number
Of tiny fbers, to the tissues lying inn
medately underneath. In most parts
Of the body these fbers are long
enough to allow fairly free play Of
the skin but occasionally, either
through the presence Of an unusual
number of hbers at one point or
through these fbers being, for some
reason, more than commonly short,
the skin is more firmly anchored, as
it we're, to the tissue. When this
occurs, q little pit is formed, the skin
at that point being drawn closer back
to the tissue. This is what we call
me "diE6ple." Ii may be permanent,
or nay disappear Snd appear in tune
with the movements Of the face.

welfare Commission. which was Gre

children Of the State, were made pub
i'e for the first time in an address
last week by Miss Hettie L. Hazlett,
executive secretary Of the commission,
before the State Federation Of wo-
mems Clubs, in session in Shepherds

.,v the a1iO.r::;., Il of the
moerS of the commission by Cover
.'or Morgan, an investigation of con-
ditionS in the State was undertaken.
and this investigation has gone suf-
hciently far, Miss Hazlett said, TO
bring out some OF the glaring dehcien-
cies of present provisions. The laws,
as a whole, in this State, however,
stand up we'll when compared with
other progressive States, she added.
THE mothers pensions, for in
stance said the speaker, "have some
good features but should be broadened
and amended. The law provides that
the granting of pensions to mothers is
optional with the counties, A mother
can own no property and receive no
other aid when she is penSioncd by
the counties. We feel that this Is
unfair and works hardship upon
needy mothers. A woman might be in
needy circumstances and at the same
time own small piece of property.
Under the law, she could receive no
aid.
"The mother is pauperized by all
other sources OF aid she may have re-
ceived being cut of, and then she is
given maximum Of SIS month for
four or more children. The maximum
should be increased. The commission
will seek to bring about an increase
in the powers of the State Board of
Children's Guardians, in order that
humane cases might be taken care of.
Frequently a case arises where there
is no actual vioaltion of the law but
an injustice is done TO the child be-
cause under the existing conditions no
one person is legally respons BILE.
"The commission is working with the
State Board of Control and Board Of
Children's Guardians in finding So
luton of the feeble minded situation
in the State to meet the urgent needs
Of the mental defective. We hope TO
save the State considerable money
through the adoption of new provis-
ions, which also will alleviate certain
ills which exist today. One Of these
is due to the fact that all but few OF
the counties are maintaining county
poor farms, valued at from $4,000 to
Sl05,OOO. These are maintained for a
very small number Of persons. One
county poor farm, valued at $4,000,
has three inmates, supported at a per
capita cost OF S365 per year. These
inmates are 80, 80 and 81 years Of age.
. Approximately one-seventh of the pop
ulation of the poor farms OF the State
are children, being brought up in con-
dtions and environment that do not
make for the proper mental and phys
ical development. We will recommend
laws which will forbid placing children
| in these poor farms. We will suggest
a plan for consolidating these poor
farms and reducing the number. One
in each congressional district, for in
stance, would be a great improvement.
They would then be managed at a de-
cidedly smaller cost per capita to the
counties, to say nothing of cutting
down the overhead expense Of the in
dvidual poor farms"
Miss Hazlett's address was well re-
ceived and comment following her talk
generally approved the action the
commission is taking.
