various crimes and sent to the penl-

The board, it was explained. had no

will be taken up with one or more
State agencies. A tubercular mother

meager temporary allowance, and an
other mother with as many children
was likewise assisted. Her husband
had been given a life sentence some
months ago after pleading guilty to
attacking the girl. The American Lee

Will we shortly be giving

mothers hold jobs and place their
babies in nurseries during the

And will we establish more and
more nurseries for that purpose?
