questionably the place for the child
and no child should be removed
from its home for the reason of
poverty alone. But what agency,
will administer mothers pensions in
the District? The situation in re-
gard to mothers pensions Is typical
of the general charity situation. We
have had code commissions, investi-
cations. advisory boards and well
fare boards, yet the many factions
have not been able to get together
Each has wanted to magnify its
own authority"
The remedy for this situation, DIR.
IO'Grady believes. is centralization of
authority. Every State Is drifting
toward centralized responsibility in
public welfare work." he asserted.
In the District we need this in the
form Of a welfare department under
the Commissioners"
Committees to Meet.
The Pomerene mothers pension
bill. IL was learned yesterday. has
been referred by the Senate to Dis
trict heads for recommendation.
The Commissioners will give the
measure thorough consideration be-
fore taking action. II was stated at
the District Building yesterday.
Committees from the Board of
Children's Guardians and the trus-
tees of the Industrial Home School
will meet today in final effort to
agree upon plans for future conduct

Both sides. il Is said. are confident

REORGANIZATION OF CHARITY
SYSTEM VITAL, SAYS EXPERT
DR.. O'Grady Sees D. c. Department of Welfare
As First Move.

Regardless of the disposition of
the Industrial Home School or OF a
mothers pension bill. these are but
two factors in the larger problem
of reorganizing the charity system
of the District of Columbia. accord
ing to DIR. John O'Grady, director of
Catholic charities.
DIR. O'Grady declares that the
problem can be solved only through
eiylslation. which will reorganize
every charity agency in the District.
The legislation should provide a de-
partment of public welfare under
the District Commissioners. he be-
lieves.
Settlement of the Industrial
Home School row is to be desired. -
DR.. O'Grady said yesterday. How
ever. the people of Washington
should realize that this will not set
tie the entire problem. Neither will
a mothers pension bill meet the
need. The charity administrative
machinery Is defective"
Urges Capitalization.
-There is no doubt about the de-

DESCRIBES NAVY'S
RADIO PROGRESS

The progress of radio in the Amer
lean navy is described Interestingly
by Lee De Forest in Radio Broad
cast" for August:
In November, 1907. the United
States navy installed twenty-six
sets of radio telephone upon as
many battleships, torpedo boat de-
stroyers and auxiliaries, prior to
their famous round -the-world cruise.
The specifications at that time called
for hve-mile transmission for inter-
fleet work. Some of these instru-
ments. crude though they were COM
pared with the present type. main
tained communications for forty and
nifty miles. Today-such is the
progress in this new art-the navy
calls for Instruments capable Of 100
mile conversation between warships
and nearly as many miles between
seaplanes and ship stations. In an
other year. IL is safe to forecast. the
requirements will be twice as rigor-
Gus as these. but the development
of the science will keep pace.

of the necessity for so regulatinr
the radio Industry that the public
will be protected from poor APP

efficient material. which. in his ig-
norance of radio science. he would
be likely to purchase.
