Mothers Pension
Laws Enforced
In Many States

In a report just issued by the U
s. Department of Labor many in
teresting facts have come to light
The statement was given out
through the children's bureau and
tells in detail of the various results
brought about through the enforce
ment of the mothers pension" laws
which are IN vogue in many of the
states. Cities and counties from all
parts of the country were taken as
experimental stations and the types
studied. The main idea was to show
public agencies how to give the pro-
per aid to the child where needed.
Reasons why mothers of young
children found it necessary to seek
public aid were studied from all
angles. 1t was found that in three
fourths of the cases studied, the
death of the father was the COM
polling factor while in about. one
fifth, it was the fathers illness oil
disability. Figures were obtained
showing just how much the average
child of 16 should spend on living
expenses and it vas found that nc
extravaganza exists in the homes
investigated.
III lllallJ VI LII ~
was found that money was not the
cause of physical suffering but the
low standard of living accounted for
many deaths. The investigation will
bring about ways and means with
which to deal with such situations,
the labor report states. The IA
theirs death is particularly hard on
the children.
The mother cannot provide sat-
isfactorily for the children and con-
s%equently the children are irregular
at school, habitually tardy and poor
iy clothed and appeared to be neg
lected. True, several of the child
rem may work but the line of work
that a small child takes up Dor
leads to decentralization and ruin
But the public agencies are being
told Just how to care for these kind
of cases.
An example is given of n wo-
man who tried to bravely struggle
on with a small confectionery store
for the benefit of her six small.
children. She could hardly make
enough to buy bread and when the
authorities heard of her plight they
arranged for her aid. There are
numerous other cases which could
be quoted as examples where there
are no pension laws and the hard
ships which the poor mothers have
to go through. However, the BEN
efts of the mothers pensions
are being gradually seen and before
long all the states will have adopted
it.

Those High Signs

why are there so many bache-
Tors?
A famous humorist of the Middle
West, himself an unclaimed blessing,
aunts one of his married friends IN
this fashion:
You married men are nothing but
bachelors who weakened under the
strain of moonshine, guitar and goo
goo eyes.
THE reason there are so many
bachelors today is hat private, con-
fidential high signs are given bach
elors by their married friends to tell
them to stay, where the staying is
good"
The edition containing that story
wasn't ten minutes old when we saw
another one which makes a whole
sale Indictment of American men,
matrimonially speaking, in the state
ment that they do not want wives,
but mothers"
"A serious business education has
inclined the American man for eau
| ton" asserts the prosecution. His
natural instinct is in no sense a bold
or predatory one. The men of other
races may care to be lured, pleased
provoked, entangled, evaded. 1t may
amuse~ them to pursue. But what
do women-nice Momentum for ex'
cept to be caught? And when they
are caught so is the pursuer! In any
case, it behooves a man to be eau
tious."
Far be it from us to referee this
scrap. Umpires seldom win popular
ity contests. But u unbiased curb
stone opinion is hat there are a
number of bachelors who r still
unattached, for the simple reason
that the girls they proposed to pre-
ferred to be merely Sisters" to them.

A most popular blouse for sum
mer is this low-waisted, short
sleeved model shirred on a wide belt.
The yoke which also forms the
sleeves is a becoming feature. Worn
with a pleated skirt this special
blouse is the absolutely proper thing
for summer wear.
1t has an air of semi-tailored trim
ness due to the plain yoke and the
details of finishing. One of these
details-the finishing of the slit
sleeve-can be done simply and eff
fectively according to these direc-
tons.
The slit is bound with a contrast
ing color and the sleeve faced in the
same tone. The binding is handled
in the same way a bound button
hole is made.
Before the sleeves are sewed to the
blouse, lay them flat on the table

Select firm, ripe tomatoes, fairly
large in size. After washing, cut a
slice from the top of each. Scoop
out some Of the pulp and sprinkle
the inside of the tomatoes with salt.
Mix soft, stale bread crumbs with
melted butter, using two tablespoons

Sprinkle a few crumbs in the bot
tom of each tomato and slip in a
fresh egg.
Cover with crumbs and bake in a
moderate oven 10 minutes. Serve
