CHILD DEPENDENCY
STATISTICS URGED
Millions Spent But Few Facts
Are Known, Says Folks
in Report.

In a 10,00o-word report prepared for
the November White House Conference
on Child Health, Nationwide system
OF uniform statistics on dependency and
neglect of children is urged by Homer
Folks, chairman of the subject
Attacking the child-protection prob
lem. Folks deplored the absence of such
statistics.
after many years of trying various
methods of dealing with child depend
ency, after caring for unknown thou
sands of children and spending un-
known millions of dollars, we now nave
only few facts and many gueSses as
to what has been accomplished and
whittier we are tending" he said.
He pronounced the Federal Children's
Bureau, with and through the State
Departments of welfare, "the obvious
agency for the collecting Of such lnfor-
nation"
Miss Abbott Holds Farley.
Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Chill
dren's Bureau, held conference look
ing toward such collection of social sta
tisticS last week and advanced as one
of the arguments in its favor the value
of child dependency statistics as a
barometer of adult unemployment.
Folks advocated that the Children's
Bureau be enabled to collect the de-
tendency statistics.
Among other things, the committee
found:
Almshouses for the care of children,
q system condemned century ago, still
operating in certain localities; large
numbers of children still being sepa-
rated from their homes because of pow
erty: many child-caring agencies with
out responsible organization; unau-
thorized groups receiving children for
profit: large numbers of children handi-
capped by mass migration; large be-
quests tied to outworn methods Of child
care, while modern progressive methods
lacked adequate support.
Other Recommendations.
In addition to national statistics, the
committee recommended:
Mothers aid; special provisions to in
sure the welfare of children born out
of wedlock; meeting of the unusual
needs of colored, Mexican, Porto Rican
and Indian children; adequate legisla-
ton in every State for protection Of
children from abuse and neglect: en-
dowments and gifts worded in flexible
terms, leaving precise methods to dis
erection of future trustees; more research
on cause and cure of dependency. -

Austria's Population
Decreasing Steadily

VIENNA, April 8 QN.S) 1.-The
population of Austria is on the
decrease. The yearly surplus Of
births as compared to deaths
has shrunk to 1000, according to
the latest statistics. And this is
more than offset by the emigra-
ton of Austrians to foreign
lands.
AS an indication Of the impover.
ishment Of this country and Of
the pessimism with which its fu-
ture is regarded, the Austrian
government decided to encourage
emigration In order to improve
the labor market. Before the war
there was practically no emigra
tion at all, and the population
was steadily increasing.

AnatOle France Now
Well-nigh Forgotten

PARIS, April 8 Q.N.SO.-Al-
though Anatole France, celebrated
French author, died only five
years ago, his works are now
pushed to the dusty, unused
shelves Of nearly all French
libraries and the famous author
OF The Red Lily" is almost for
gotten. The reason is undoubt-
edly the need for stronger stuff.
France no longer Suffices, how
ever charming his words are.
This age, wants more passion,
more decision and justification
for the abundant energy which it
Is putting into material creation.

While You Sleep!

When a headachy, bilious, or gassy
condition tells that bowels need help,
there's nothing like cascara. Doctors
say this marvellous substance actually
strengthens bowel muscles. That's why
candy Cascarets bring constipation
sufferers lasting relief. A Cascaret
contains cascara in its most palatable
form. No gripping: no discomfort
Or sickening effects when you use
Cascarets. Just quick, sure help for
sluggish bowels. Both upper and loaev
bowels are cleansed. Coated tongue is
soon cleared; breath sweetened; eyes
frightened; the whole system benefits
from a candy Cascaret. Try one to-
night and see for yourself!
