ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. Va, August 27.-Approximate-
" $4,000 was saved the county Of Ar
nngton during the last fiscal year by
the Board Of Public Welfare through
the changes effected by that body in
the handling Of funds for the mainte-
nance of dependent families, IL is re-
veeled in q report submitted to the
board Of county supervisors by Mrs.
Mae Z. Jacobs, superintendent Of public
welfare.
At the time the local Board was
formed there were many families in the
county who were dependent entirely
upon the local government for support
and now there are so few as to be al
most negligible. During the past fiscal
year Mrs. Jacobs handled $4,631 so in
funds that went to the support of
families that might otherwise have been
burdens upon the county.
The method now employed is, when
destitute family is discovered, to make
an investigation as to who is response
BILE. In q greater number of these cases
1t Ia found that the condition is due to
the desertion of his family by a hus-
band who has since contributed nothing
toward their support. Following the
completion OF TINS lnVeSGlgatlon the
husband is brought into Domestic Re-
lations Court and there is ordered to
pay a certain amount regularly to the
support of his family. In most cases
this money is paid to Mrs. Jacobs, who
In turn diSburses 1t to the dependent.
Among the activities of the local
board are child care and protection,
relief of dependent families, probation
and parole from Juvenile, Police and
Circuit Courts, enforcement of social
legislation and truancy and the hand
ling Of funds In connection with cases
OF non-support.
The local boards have nothing to do
with mental cases after they are COM
nitted. but the Arlington County board
has been influential m keeping a
greater number of the juvenile delin-
Quents out of the State institutions and
under the direct supervision of the
County Board.

NEW YORK, August ga woman's
face Is her fortune this Winter more
truly than 1t has been for many q year.
Faces and foreheads will be much in
view when their owners don the new
hats Of 1930-31.
Chapeaux are generally small, chic
and trim, their crowns are shallower
and they are designed as a frame for
the face. 1t Is frame less severe than
last year, revealing hair on one side and
making couture of prime Importance.
The smart woman may tilt her hat right

the new ones are generally designed on
an oblique line.
Berets, TricOrns and Bonnets Due.
Berets a bit more draped than last

ments to the Constitution were a
feeble answer to the universal de-
mand for modernization Of the state
government. Referring to the legis-
lature's powers to make the changes
he declared everybody wanted,
Lockridge challenged:
"If the legislature Of Indiana, as
now constituted, could make these
sweeping improvements, why hasn't
some legislature done it? The fact
is that the need clearly is beyond
the power Of legislation: The legis-
lature itself is so hampered and
limited by outgrown constitutional
restrictions that it can not even
improve its own organization, let
alone work out organic improve
ments in other departments Of gov
eminent"
Pointing out that other states
have held many constitutional con-
ventions, Lockridge outlined the
course of action such a convention
probably would take here. The
constitutional convention question is
a subject of a referendum in con-
nection with elections Tuesday.
Albert Stump, over WFBM, Mon
day night, declared:
"Our present Constitution should

WASHINGTON, oct. 28.-Pros-
pect OF a fund of millions Of dollars
to relieve human suffering this
winter created optimism today
among government agencies strug-
Cling with the unemployment situ-
alton.
Colonel Arthur Woods prepared
to return during the day from New
York to resume personal charge of
activities as chairman of President
Hoover's emergency committee on
employment.
During Woods absence in New
York, recruiting cooperation there,
offers of assistance and collabora-
ton have been showering upon the
White House.
Outstanding among the recent de-
velopments is the revelation that
community chest efforts in 200
American cities are being directed
toward raising $55,OO0,000 for relief
work.
Officials realize vast sums must
be found to prevent distress or even
death from cold and hunger.
They believe the community chest
campaign will be of tremendous
help.
AS these heartening developments
added Wgor to the federal campaign,
there was widespread discussion of
the proposal of John J. Raskob,
Democratic national committee
chairman, for a universal five-day
week,
1t fitted in with the emphasis
placed by Woods, War Secretary
Hurley and others associated in I'M

This plan Of staggered hours, al

reducing the working week so that

Governmental revision through a

satisfactory avenue to bring In

Appealing to women in a speech

that under the present Constitution,

Surely this is archaic, and that
same archaic spirit still breathes in
the outgrown forms of an archaic

Citing examples, Lockridge sought
to prove that legislative amend
