MARYLAND CHILDREN's AID

On August 9Th the Washington
daily papers carried the story of 9
year old Martha Giesling whose spine
was fractured by an avalanche OF
sand and gravel while she and her
little brothers were digging cave
in the back yard of their home, in
one of our Maryland counties. AL
the time OF the accident her father
and mother were in Jail for keeping
disorderly house and the six
younger children including an In
FAINT less than a year old had been
left in the care of their Is year old
sister.
1t is sometimes necessary to sent
ence delinquent parents to jail but it
should never be necessary to leave
helpless children without proper care
and supervision.
A few days after 13 year old boy
was locked up in county jail for
two nights and day on a techni-
cal charge, although he was guilty OF
little more than impertience to the
women in whose care he had been
left by his parents, while they took
4 short vacation trip.
1t is sometimes necessary to take
DELINQUENT children into custody but
Imprisonment in the county jail
should never be resorted to while
children are awaiting hearing for
minor offenses.
Such incidents as these do not and
cannot happen in communities where
a proper regard for the rights OF
children in given expression through
organized effort, but in fifteen coun-
ties OF this State, including Cecil
County, the only welfare agency
operating effectively in the interests
of dependent and neglected children
is the Maryland Children's Aid
Society.
This splendid organization has la
bored increasingly for the past 16
years to bring about conditions that
would make such occurrences impos-
;ible anywhere in this State. Last
year more than 5000 children were
referred to the Society through its
various branches and more than 500
county children are now being cared
Tor in foster homes.
The advice and assistance of the
Society's trained workers is needed
in dealing with many of our Cecil
County children but in order to
serve these children adequately they
must have the full cooperation Of the
local authorities and the generous
financial support of our citizens.

There is only one thing that will and
that is for purchasers to abstain from
buying anything but necessities. A

Ne.p Metal Alloy

Harder than steel or softer than
lead, according to the way it is made,
is a new alloy reported in Popular
Science Monthly. 1t was discovered
by L. d. Kelly, London chemist, who
calls it solium, and declares 1t to be
impervious to powerful acids. 1t may
replace platinum. he says, wherever
that costly metal is used In industry
because of its resistance to oxidation
and corrosion. The alloy is prepared
from oxides and earth metals.

Wavering Start Is Associated With
Decline at Liverpool-Con

By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, January 11.-Wheat ad-
vanced today after wavering start
that was associated with a decline at
Liverpool. On the downturn COM
mission houses here were good buyers
of wheat, and word was at hand that
all offers of rye TO Europe overnight
had been accepted. Opening I'M
changed to g off, wheat soon scored
gains Corn, oats and provisions de
veloped firmness, corn starting I'M
changed to % up and continuing to
ascend.
Bullish traders in wheat derived en-
enlargement today from European
purchasing of rye futures here as well
as from acceptance of all overnight
offerings of rye for immediate export.
Transatlantic demand for rye was
generally taken as emphasizing Eu-
ropean need of bread grain.
Wheat buying today was further
stimulated through advices that Ar
gentine freight rates have risen [
shilling to shillings a ton and
that January shipments from Argen-
tina are now at premium of
shillings over February and still more
over March and April. Smallness of
stock of wheat at Liverpool and re-
ported shortage of wheat at Galveston
to meet engagements were also given
attention
