NEED OF HOME
CARE FOR THE
NORMAL CHILD

One-third of the homeless children
In The United States uneer the care
of pabiic and priya,e Charitable ageh-
cies have found foster parents who
have taken them into their own
homes.
This is the estimate of the Chill
dren's Bureau of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor which has just issued
an important report on Foster Home
Care for Dependent Children" This
report, compiled under the direction
Of the social service division of the
Bureau, includes articles by ii we'll
known authorities ON child welfare
The growing emphasis during the
past decade upon the need of home
care for the normal child has result
ed, the Bureau points out, in the
effort, first, to prevent the breakup
of the child's own home by giving
mothers pensions" or public aid to
children in their own homes, and
second, to find substitute home for
the homeless child. Results are evil
dent in the fact that AZ states give
public aid to dependent children IN
their own homes, that the number of
children in foster homes has increased
substantially and that the number Of
children in institutions has, proper
tionately to the child population, de-
creased.
Tentative figures place the number
Of children aided in their own homes
at l27,000, the number in foster
homes at 10000, and the number IN
institutions al l25. 900.
Foster. home care for children who
have no homes of their own or whose
homes are unfit places for them to
live in is net new experiment, ac-
eording to the Children's Bureau,
which points out that this method,
under various names, has been used
for many centuries. However, mod
ern standards of child care have vast
ly increased its value in promoting
the welfare of dependent children.
The best public and private agencies
carefully Investigate every foster
home before they place child in 1t,
and, after the child is placed, they
exercise careful supervision so that
the child's health, education, and
happiness are safeguarded. Such
agencies study the home conditions
and the needs of the individual child

home may be saved through moth

or institutional care receives il.

PUBLIC COMFORT AT
THE STATE FAIR

Public comfort and convenience
have not been overlooked BY the man
agement of the Illinois SState Fair,
which win be held in Springfield Sep
tember 1920. This small but import
ant detail has received painstaking
attention.
Located at convenient places within
the grounds are spacious rest rooms
and comfort stations for both men
and women. One is located under the
Immense grand stand; two in the
sheep pavilion; two at the hog pavil-
Ion; one at the coliseum where the
night horse shows are held, and one
IN the Women's building.
Prominently displayed signs will
guide visitors to the rest rooms and
comfort stations.

Labor Day is the one holiday in all
the year dedicated TO humanity. II
is day set apart for the considera'
ton of human problems and for re-
joicing at progress made toward tina;
better day for which we strive con-
stantiy.
Labor Day is day on which the
leadership of the trade union move
ment in the fight for human better
ment is universally acknowledged
and acclaimed.
There could be no Labor Day with
out Labor. There could be no Labor
Day without Organized Labor.
Those who do not belong to the
labor movement may here and there
make speeches ON Labor Day. Usual
ly their speeches are unnecessary;
and where they are helpful they are
filled with recounting of the serv-
ices rendered by the Trade Union
Movement.
Labor-0rganized Labor--the La
bor Movement--that is what makes
Labor Day possible; that is what
makes it real.
Labor Day was set apart as holl-
day because Organized Labor de-
manded it, 1t was recognition OF
Labor's right to celebrate its victor
les and to carry to all of the people
its great message of hope and free

PROBABLE LINEUP

Activity in the kennel of the Bulldog and the lair Of the Panther reached a fever heat Wednesday afternoon as the coed teams put in their final practice for the game Thursday night at 8:30 o'clock at the Central Y. M. c. A. Coach Ben Englebert, at Birming- ham, Southern, and Coach Bob Shelton at Howard, put the finishing touches on their machines for the first encounter of the' annual series: Both teams are in good shape for the game as both have had a weeks rest since the last game.
 True to the general run of Bulldog Panther battle the co-eds put up a terrific game when they clash. The series last year was an exceedingly hot one with the Pantherettes coming out victorious. This year the Howard Co-eds have built up a much stronger team and with the addition of one or two stars is now on par with the Pantherettes. Results of games with the same teams have corresponded closely.
 Team Not Weakened
 Although the Pantherettes will have a star missing from the lineup that meets the Howard five the team will be but little weakened if any. Captain Mary Brinskelle, who starred in last years series, left school at mid-term. care of by Julia Manar. Manar star red in the Jacksonville game earlier in the season and has improved vastly on shooting this season. She was all ways a good floor player and accurate passer but is playing her best ball this year.

FAST GAMES AND
 FUN AT Y. M. C.. A.

About 200 spectators witnessed one of the best basketball games of the season at the Y. M. c. A when the fast team of the 'Handley Memorial defeated the 'Stockham Pipe company's crack team, the score being IS to 8. For Stockham, Howell and Harrell, starred. dividing honors about equally. The Memorials showed their usual good form and teamwork, all showing up in fine shape. with Perrine, Barclieff and Ray making the scores, while Thompson played the best game he has ever played on the gym court, being a big factor in the small score of the Stockham Pipe, who are recognized as one of the strongest teams in the City league.
 Shepard, in his steady, consistent work, kept the team we'll in hand. A surprise of the evening was the game between the Skirts and the Flirts, the teams being composed of the members of the Bible class of the Handley Memo rial church. The Skirts were attired In regulation female basketball togs, while the others were rigged fin attire generally worn by the male fraternity, and were called the flirts. The game proved much faster than ordinarily would be expected under the circum- stances.
 c. H. Kruass, superintendent of the Memorial Sunday school, proved to be an All referee; and. while some of his decisions on fowls might have been questioned, as whole he was consid- cred fair"
 Rev. s. o. Coxe. pastor of the church, was penalized often for his fast run ming with the ball and failure to turn loose at the proper time, and had to be called down by the referee several times. The honors of the team were pretty equally divided, and the score a tie, to 6, shows the goals were not in much danger at any time. The "portly' figure of the umpire, F. C.. Shepard, attired in an up-to-date Parisian gown (with all the trimmings), added to the color of the game. Those present en- joyed an evening of genuine pleasure and good fellowship.
