would be very remiss in its duty
II 1t did not insist upon-these
doubtful home influence families
are especially hard to deal with.
The breaking. up Of family
should be resorted to only after
all other measures have failed.
I am very glad to report that it
was necessary in only one case, to
commit the children to Owatonna
Public School and discontinue the
mothers pension.
Z As result of this survey the
investigator recommends that six
pensions be discontinued; in eight
cases, there be reduction and in
one case, suspension Of allowance
during such portions of the year
as the mother is employed in a To-
cal store with Reinstatement Of
allowance during the period of idle
ness. These recommendations have
been accepted by the Probate
Court after approval by the Child
Welfare Board. They represent a
reduction in the mothers allow
ance for the coming year of ST.
$4,000.
This leaves seventeen mothers
of fifty-five children drawing moth
er's pensions at an average cost
of 5000 per month per child.
There was such an urgent need
for social case work in some of
these families that the investiga-
tor did what her limited time per-
mitted. Investigations were made
m six cases Of poor relief. There
were % telephone calls and 81
interviews connected with the en-
tire survey. There were 81 home
visits.

Before closing this report. feel
I would be remiss in my duty to
your board if I did not call your
attention to the great need for a
trained social worker to follow
up on these recommendations and
supervise the administration of
mothers pensions and poor relief
in this beautiful county.
A social worker will attend to
the health problems in county
but it can hardly be expected of
a nurse to real with social prob
lens. Her training and the type
Of work she does, will not permit
her to combine the two with any
degree of success.

Russian artist of Seattle, had reas-
signed 5000, 900 Of bonds given to him
by Ruth Mcdonald, to her mother,
Mrs. Agnes Mcdonald. Fink changed
his mind and decided to retain them.
Miss Mcdonald, member of a
wealthy family, committed suicide by
tnhaling fumes from the exhaust of
her car when her mother criticised
he for presenting the bonds to Fink,
whom she was to have married yes
terday.

Briton Laments Great
London Loss Of
Profanity

LONDON, Feb. 4 n.N.s).--
There are many in England who
agree with DR.. Burgess Johnson,
professor of English at Syracuse
University, that what the world
needs IL some new swear words.
There are just as many, however,
who declare England already has
enough swear words to go round,
without inventing more.
At Billingsgate and smithfield,
two noted London markets where
fashionable men-about-town once
gathered to hear Cockney humor
and cuss words, and where it
was once proudly said that a man
could swear for 20 minutes with
out repeating himself. There is
now almost no profanity.
Mrs. Alfred Tidd, who became
famous as the first woman por-
ter, at Smithfield Market, and
has now been there about Is
months, declared she has not
heard in that period more than
8 swear words.

Forced to vacate the building by
a, court order issued after a protest
by citizens, the House of Detention
was moved to another building at
the southwest corner of Louisiana
Avenue and Sixth Street.
The District thought that was the
end Of the story, but learned yes
terday that they still have lease
on the southwest property.
The Wardman Construction Com
pany has refused to accept the key
and possession of the property,
claiming that the company holds a
lease from the District calling for
an annual rental of $4,000.
Major L. e. Atkins, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, who me-
gotiated the lease declared that the
District was unable to fulfill its end
of the contract because of a court
order. Funds for rental have been
diverted to another building, he
says. and the District would have
to create a deficiency to cover any
amount that might be agreed on in
a settlement with the Wardman
organization.
