HUMANE WEEK /
OBERVED IN
SAN ANTONIO.
Teach Children to Be Kind
to Dumb AMI
mails.
HELP POOR CHILDREN
Society Here Has a Pro-
gram of Ten Major
Activities.

This is Humane Week. The seven
days beginning April 6 and ending
April l. have been set aside by Presi-
dent Coolidge as period that shall
be observed iii behalf of mercy and
kindness TO dumb animals and to little
children. The San Antonio Humane
and Child Welfare Society is conduct
ing campaign during this week in
training children and young people
in the proper protection of their ami
nal friends.
For the last year alone. the HUI
name Society of San Antonio adjusted
22I9 eases of cruelty to children. and
made 3106 calls to relieve suffering
animals. Forty-eight homeless babies
were placed in good homes. and many
young girls were rescued from places
of shame. This year. the progress in
relieving cruelty 70 animals and chill
dren has been even more remarkable
than the records for 1923 show.
BE Kind 10 Animals.
During Humane Week. Miss Lucy
SmitherS. executive secretary of the
San Antonio Child Welfare and HUI
name Society. especially requests par
ents to teach their children how to
be kind TO animals.
Human education must begin in
early childrhood. if we are TO make
children understand how just and how
noble it is 10 be humanity kind 10
what we term inferior animals.
Miss Smithers said. This training
will do much toward giving anyone a
higher idea and better character
through life. An immense amount of
pleasure can be derived from the study
of bird and animal life. and we hope
that during Humane Week the chill
dren of San Antonio will try to take
an interest in both. as we feel that
many have not had the proper intro
duction 10 these creatures. or they
would not forget that divine right has
made them masters of defenseless be-
ings that are pals and friends If they
are kindly treated"
Although the San Antonio Child
Protective and Humane Society can
not reach the high goal set by the
mother society. the New York Chill
dren's Aid. which spends 100000 an
nually for child relief. including
homes for newsboys and industrial
schools for children of the slumS. the
San Antoine society has combined its
purposes in an effort to protect both
defenseless children and dumb ami
mails, having as its aims the follow
ing:
This Is Their Program.
First-The prevention of and pun
ishment for. any form of cruel treat
ment to children and animals by any
person.
Second-The prevention of cruelty
beating or starving work animals.

from houses of vice or shame.
Fourth-The removal of children
from improper or impure surround

London Man Finds 1t Out
When He Accidentally
Buys An Estate in Lewis
AT Five Cents An Acre.

Runaway husbands are becoming
greater problem than runaway chill
dren, according to the Associated
Charities of San Antonio. Although
there has always been some trouble
from this problem, especially among
the poorer classes. the increase lately
in the numbers of deserted wives and
families has reached an average of al
most double the number recorded for
several years ago, according to Miss
Mabel Ferguson, executive secretary
of the Charities.
Twelve deserted families were re-
ported for one week. during March.
and every day there are several new
cases of this kind listed on the books
of the association. In a majority of
the cases. the women have been left
with large families of small children,
and without any means of support.
The average expense allowed fami-
lies of more than six, amounts to $40
a week or more, depending on the con-
dition Of the people. Miss Ferguson
said. and for ten or twelve new fami-
lies every week, this expenditure alone
counts rather alarmingly as growing
necessity. As there are several hun
dred regular" cases. the new ones
are added burlenS that must be
shouldered for indefinite periods.
Can't Make the Grade.
For instance, there was one family
in the list of twelve new cases for
one week. that will have to be cared
for perhaps for years. The six children
are all small. the oldest being n girl.
and the mother is in i'll health and un-
able to work because of her problem
at home. where she tries on little or
nothing to feed and clothe her brood
These people must be fed. clothed. and
sheltered until the mother can work
or until the children can grow up or
be placed in homes.
Miss Ferguson believes that the rea-
son for the growing number of deser-
tions lies in the fact that men of I'M
certain means assume greater respon-
sibilities than they can meet. and in
course of time their morale is broken
by hardship and disappointment. and
they run away from the burden they
have created. The wives are helpless
pawns. victims of fate. and are in
many cases young girls who have sew
eral babies and no one on whom to
depend for living.
The men who run away are not for
eigners, Miss Ferguson said. but
Americans. white men, many sup
posedly Of good families. Often they
have met with financial reverses. and
have lost fortunes or have failed to
find job for long periods of time.
Spring Brings Problem.
Because the problem of caring for
these deserted families has become 50
acute. the Charities figured on renting
a large house. in some part of the city.
so that all the bills could be paid in
a lump sum. thus lcssening house rent
and incidental expense. However
when the executives of the association
put facts and figures on paper. they
found that the number was so hope
lessly large that hotel would have
to be rented to accommodate the de-
serted mothers alone.
Spring always brings another prob
