CHILDREN under IS
IN need Of CARE
Provisions for Care Of Neglected
Youngsters Called Inadequate

The Social Workers club of New
Britain met at luncheon Wednesday
noon at the Y. w. C. A. Consider
alton was given to several OF the
outstanding social needs OF the city
and plans for the work OF the year
were discussed.
John l.. Doyle, superintendent CT
the department of public welfare,
spoke concerning the needs of his
department for the treatment of the
syphilitic client.
Miss BRISTOL and E. c. Connolly
of the probation department spoke.
The need for a temporary home
for children under 16 was shown
to be very distressing need in the
city. The particular responsibility
for caring for such children, CT
which there are many during the
year, belongs to no particular lnstl-
tuition. The police station, with its
heterogeneous group of law break
ers, is obviously no place for the
juvenile delinquent or the innocent
boy or girl for whom temporary
care must be provided, it was said.
Oftentimes children are left uncar
ed for by the parents who because
Of drunkenness or immortality have
to be taken into custody. The aues-
ton of caring for the children is
then thrust upon the juvenile proba-
ton officer whose only recourse is
an stablished institution in the
city-the police station or the town
farm, the former being totally I'M
fit to provide the care and the lat
ter subject to a fine of $50 per day
per child if for humanity's sake
it harbors these homeless children
in an institution which is again
wholly inadequate and unsuitable, il
is said
Provision In the city of New Brit
ain for the capitalization of cases
OF communicable di eases was con-
sidered and given some discussion.
The club voted as its program for
to improve conditions and heartily

but from experience he knows that
in time the wall will suffer from
overflow Of water in the brook and
heavy rains and frost. He also stated
that in places where the stones and
dirt had been taken away. the water
from the stream has Z tendency to
divert its course, which in stormy
weather will undoubtedly cause
harm to the wall.
The defense will counterclaim the
action basing its claims on the fact
that the wall is on their property
and that the plaintiff or his prede-
cessors built the wall over the
boundary line thereby encroaching
on the Sufranski property.

Inconsistencies Among White
Folks

1t is probable that inconsistency is
a very, very human trait and not at
all confined to persons whose skins
were born faded out. Our White
Folks are very consistent when it
comes to getting the money. They
have only one rule in this respect
and they invariably follow the same,
it is this: Get The Money. If any
thing like consistency interferes cut
out the consistency and "get the mon
ey." The Tacoma Editor has a white
friend of whom he thinks quite a lot.
This friend was i'll once upon a time
at a local hospital and sent for us.
We went and found him in a rather
serious but not dangerous, condition.
He was very downcast and we wanted
to know why the glooms and the
grief; we thought he was brooding
over his sickness. He was, but not
as we believed. That he was being
cared for properly-well-fed, good
warm bed and nice pretty nurses,
plenty of friends to visit with him
who sat and talked or listened. What
more could a sick man want especial
ly when all the bills were already
paid? Yet this young man was
spreading grief in great gobs. When
we finally found out what was the
trouble, we remarked, "Well, you
are white" and when you get to heav-
en-, the first thing you'll ask will be
what per cent can be made up here
