 However. 1t also was diaclosed that countries are meeting tps problem with much greater effici- ency than formerly
 The world war and the unemploy. ment after the war are the reasons. and various countries now have come to the point in postwar work where definite stock may be taken
 Another encouraging angle" Miss Lenroot said, lis the great emphasis being placed on homo An. vironment by welfare agencies the world over.
 There is . growing acceptance of the theory that the state should take care of dependent children and do it. not with the cold. remote atmosphere of institutions. but in . real, homelike manner.
 So, for these many dependent children the various countries are meeting the problem by providing state aid to the mothers where pos sible 50 they may DC kept in their own homes or they are put into in stitutions built on the cottage plan where mora individual care and homelike environment is possible"

Health Hints
BY DIR. MORRIS IlSHBEIN
 Editor Journal Of the American | Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine

Reports continue to come from France that the method of vaccina- ting babies against tuberculosis with living germs. invented by the famous French investigator Cal mette, has been established as a useful method and is soon to be adopted in this country as a routine technic.
 The vaccine concerned is made of living germs of tuberculosis taken from cattle. They are treat ed in different ways after being raised on artificial substances. They are then fed to children in milk. This is. of course. an en- tirely different process than the method used in smallpox vaccina- ton in which the virus is inocu- lated into the skin.
 America Raises Question An investigation of the avail able opinions indicates a prepon- derance of belief on the part of American authorities that the 1 French investigators have not es- tablished their method sufficiently to warrant American adoption. l The Trudeau laboratories al i Saranac Lake have tried the
 method in animals and have
 found that in a few instances some of the germs had virulencs
 so that the animals inoculat d died of genaliZed tuberculosis
 Furthermore the number of in-
 fants that get tuberculosis is rela- lively slight and the amount of
 deaths among infants from tu. berculosis is nowhere near what the French authorities claim. In fact, the death rate from tu. berculosis in all forms has beer
 steadily declining during the las'
 quarter century. Several Euro; pean communities. notably Cote. borg in Sweden, have tried the
 method and discarded if.
 l The method has been opposed
 in Great Britain by Prof. Green
 wood of the University of London.

Removing Contacts

Removing Contacts
 Most authorities believe that the important factor in infection with tuberculosis in infancy ia contact of the infant with tuber- culosis mother or nurse and that the removal of the infants from such contacts will greatly lower tke number of cases and of deaths.
 The children in France inocu- lated with the Calmette vaccine had been removed from contact with their tuberculous mothers and that therefore the amount of tuberculosis among them should be less than among normal chill drcn.
 Dr. s. A. Petroff of the Trudeau Sanitorium insists that the Cal- mette vaccine situation resem- bles closely the attempt of Fried mann to introduce his living tur- tie tuberculous serum in 1912 with the difference that the Call mette vaccine is probably more dangerous than was the Fried mann serum.

 At my suggestion that Lillian shew to Katherine the letter from Samuel Brixton which had SO dis turbed her and over which her husband was also excited. she rose and went to her desk, returning with the letter which she gave into Katherine's hands.
 T could knit . pair of golf stock ings with the wool my wits have accumulated" she said. But read that over, Katrina, and tell me what you think of it. I'm not going to tell you my reaction to it nor yet Madge'S l want your own unbiased judgment of the screed."

 "Ah." Lillian drew her breath in sharply. That makes it unanimous You, Madge and Harry all have shared my feeling that there's a trick in it somewhere. Allah knows Sam Brixton was the trickiest man in the world in the old days"
 Still" Katherine argued. what possible object could he have in writing such a letter if he were not on the square? There was no evi- dence against him, was there. or did Marion's father leave property in which this man had any share which he has been afraid to claim?'

Peter Invites Whitef0Ot By Thornton w. Burgess

By InOrnt00 W. Burgess You'll always find that it is true There's some one that's worse off
 than you.
 -Old Mother Nature
 Misery loves company. Peter Rab- bit was feeling very miserable. He was in q bramble- -tangle in the Green Forest He was frightened and sore. He had been surprised by one ot Fowler the Bobcats babies and badly scratched. So when he was joined by Whitefoot the We cd Mouse and discovered that White foot wanted to leave the Green Forest, because he too was terribly frightened, Peter felt better. Somehow it doesn't seem as if things are fair in this world" said Peter.
 What do you mean?" squeaked Whitefoot.
 Why, some of us have to watch out for ever 70 many enemies and others have only few to watch out tor" said Peter
 If you had as many to watch out for as I have to watch out for you might complain declared Whitefoot. If you think things ars hard for you. what do you think of me?"
 "Oh, l don't know that you have co many more enemies than l have said Peter.
 Huh" exclaimed Whitefoot. If had no more enemies than you have I'd be . happy Mouse. I have every single enemy that you have and. because I'm so small, l have q lot more who never think of lock- ing for you or touching you if they see you. You are too big for Spooky the Screech Owl, but I have to watch out for his smaller cousin. Saw Whet the Acadian Owl. He's a little bit of a fellow but he certain ly can catch mice. Then there is Killy the Sparrowhawk. You never have to even look to see if les about because you are too big for him to touch. but that fellow lives On Mice part of the time. In winter have to watch out for Rutehs sr the Shrike. I have to keep an eye out for Blacky the Crow. l don't even trust Sammy Jay. No, Peter, if you think you have hard time you don't know what a hard time is. And now to think that there are two young Bobcats to watch out for. I've got to get out of the Green Forest, that's all there is to it."
 T don't blame you for feeling that way" replied Peter "Only 8 little while ago I told my cousin Jumper the Hare. that I'd had enough of the Green Forest and when l get back to the dear old Briar-patch I'm going to stay there I'll tell you what Whitefoot, you come along with me 10 the dear Old Briar-patch and make your home there. It's the best and safest plac in all the Great World. You'll bt perfectly happy over there. Wha' do you say?'
 Thoughtfully Whitefoot scratched his nose with one of his brett, little white hands. "Is it far ovel there?" he demanded.
 "Oh. mo-" replied Peter, forgetting that what would oe q short distance for him would be long distance for such a little fellow as White foot. "Oh, no, it isn't far over tEere You just follow my white tail ant I'll lead you right over there"
 When" asked Whitefoot. ''Oh, by and by" replied Pete rather indefinitely. You see. Pete had been so badly scared that h. hadn't yet recovered sufficiently t dare scamper across the Greel Meadows to the dear Old Briar patch.
