Mrs. Allen T. Fleming. president of

fortunate persons are being held in

Action Is Headed
I'VE should have immediate sc-
ton. The League will do everything
it can to relieve the situation"
The committee in charge of the in
vestigation Of relief possibilities is
headed by Mrs. Leroy Kahler, 1903
n. La Sale st. The committee will
report at the next meeting of the

The action Of the League followed
somewhat similar action Of the
Seventh District Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs, which adopted a resolu-
ton asking that some immediate steps
be taken to relieve the situation.
First Concrete Suggestion
The action of the League Of Women
Voters is the first eoncrete suggestion
for immediate relief. Other sugge3-
tions have contemplated relief after
authority is obtained from the I.egisla-
ture or appropriations are made.
The idea Of the League of Women
Voters is that comfortable temporary
quarters could be obtained and proper
medical attention provided at a com
paritively low cost.
Records in the office of the county
clerk show that insane persons con-
fined to Jail are being admitted to
hospitals somewhat more rapidly than
formerly. although the number of in
