centres. The total Of children treat
ed last year was 1867, of which
number 1880 were in Wilmington
and 1927 outside the city.
Miss Lockwood said there were
5077 new cases last year. She ex-
planned the work carried on at the
centres and how this work is fol-
lowed up by the nurses to the
homes when anything Is found wrong
physically with a child.
Miss Lockwood in her examina-
hon before the committee gave fig
ures to show that the work bf such
organizations as the Child Welfare
Commisson has greatly reduced the
death rate Of mothers in child birth
throughout the United States and
that there has also been a consider
able reduction pf such deaths in
Delaware. In Wilmington Miss
Lockwood said in 1919 the infant
mortality rate up TO the age of one
year was 13s per thousand and in
1921 It had been reduced TO 50 per
thousand. She said the Child Wei
fare Commission and other agencies
we're responsible for this reduction
in infant death rate.
Figures for the past year, she
said. would probably show a further
decrease. The fact that poor peo-
pie have been going to the health
centers and getting the best OF at
tention. she added, has helped to
bring about this reduction.
Il felt" said Miss Lockwood,
That this work was a liability to
this state. could stand back Of It
and work for It. The good they do
is incalculable. The women Of this
State are convinced that it is a good
thing to protect the children and

| STATE HOUSE Dover, Del, Jan.
/ 22--Miss Marie Lockwood. SUPER
visor OF nurses under the Child We'll
| fare Commission, was before the
legislative budget committee this aft
| ernoon to explain the work of the
| commission and how II is proposed
to spend the S71.OOO a year that the
commission is asking for during the
next two years.
The past two years the commits
sion got 5000 a year. Governor
Denney. who is attending the hear
ing in his message to the Legis-
lature recommended that this com
mission be merged with the State
Board OF Health, the Tuberculosis
Commission and Mothers Pension
Commission into the state Welfare
and Health Commission, and that
the appropriation for the Child
Welfare branch of the work be
S45, 900 a year. This would be re-
ductpon of $4,000 a year com
pared with what the Child We'll
fare Commission received last year,
and $4,000 year compared with
what Is asked for the next two
years.
Miss Lockwood explained that the
work carried on by the commission
includes visits by the nurses to the
homes. conducting OF health cen
ters, looking after parents under
certain conditions. medical inspec-
tions in the schools, etc. She said
that in describing the work em-
phasls should he laid on the preven-
tive work rather than the cure that
the commission Is doing. The idea
she said is to try TO have the child
grow up healthy rather than allow
them 10 get practically down and
out before anything is done for them
by the State. She sand most all
states have found that this plan is
the best way to look after the chill
dren.
Statements by Miss Lockwood
show that about three-fourths of
the state appropriation goes for sal
aries. Miss Lockwood. who is the
Supervisor of Nurses. gets a salary
OF $4,000 a year. Among other em-
ployes Of the commission she nam
ed the following: q nurses at $500
each; two expert nurses, one $500
and the other $500; two day
nurses. $1,000 each; 10 physicians
who hold clinics or consulting CEN
ters: Chief Clerk. $500; four clerks
in Wilmington and one In Dover;
IS other employees. including heater
boys, cleaners and scrub boys. No
explanation was given of where
these heater boys. etc. are employ
ed but It Is apparently at the health
centers.
Miss Lockwood said there are 16
health centres throughout the state
for which the commission is entirely
responsible for the heating, equip
ment. etc, and four cooperative

under a more severe test than at

activity OF propagandists was never
so marked. They are engaged upon
all sorts of schemes, for all sorts
of interests; and unfortunately they
have an advantage just now be-

Pessimism. hysteria, cyniolsm.
and impracticable idealism are
some OF tho lapses of American
minds from their usual normal
operation. Soon after the armistice
there was a wave of idealism which
swept many level-headed citizens

PISTOL FAILS
TO GUST COOK

The firing OF a shot by Ulysses s.

William Marshall. Negro, near Elev-
enth and Walnut streets, on the af-
ternoon of January 10, resulted from
the restaurant man disregardinaN
Ulysses demand that William put
out" his Chinese cook. This was
disclosed by evidence heard IN
Municipal Court this informing.
Deputy Judge Lynn fined Ulysses
$500 and costs and sentenced him to
one year in the workhouse on a
charge OF carrying concealed a re-
volver. Assistant City Solicitor
Green nolle pressed a charge of ass
sault. Harry P. Joslyn represented
the defendant.
Marshall said that Ulysses had n
dispute with the Chinese cook in the
restaurant over some money that
the defendant claimed the OrientalL Z
owed. The defendant, according to
William, then demanded that the
cook be put out" and after his
command" was ignored he pulled
out the revolver, pointed 1t at Mar
shall. backed him TO the door, and
when Marshall saw a chance he
quickly closed the door between him
and his tormentor and the latter
fired shot into the floor.
The cook in good English, cor
roborated his boss testimony.
Ulysses denied that he pointed
the pistol at Marshall. He said that
Marshall's actions led him to be-
lieve that the restaurant owner was
attempting to draw a gun" and
that in order 10 protect himself he
flashed his own pistol. The pistol
was discharged by accident, he
said.
