YOUR CHILDREN
vNSIvkobey7Sbalatn 0i95lgY NEAi SERVICE; INC. '

A certain boy in school was a real problem to his teacher. He was sullen, he wouldn't work, he was dirty and he was thin.
 In that building they served school lunches. partly provided by city funds and augmented by a civic organization. Children did not have to remain at noon but those who wished could stay and have a good hot meal. This boy stayed because there was no one at home to feed him. His mother worked and he was alone.
 Day after day the lamb-stew, or soup and vegetables and always milk was served--the other chil- dren licking their bowls clean and asking for more. But this poor little fellow just sat and glowered he wouldn't eat.
 He grew thinner and paier by the day and his teacher knew that something must be done. Finally she said, Erred, I'll give you a quarter a week if you eat what Mrs Smith puts on your plate.
 Fred frightened, "All right" he
 But in two days he said, q don't want any dinner. You can keep your quarter"
 Completely nonplussed the teach- CT gave up. Finally she consulted his mother. But his mother was puzzled about him too. I've just had to let him run and can't keep the house right. Things are pretty bad, I guess" she apolo- gized. They were--there wasn't e. doubt of 1t. The boy lived in dreadful clutter of dirt and disor. der.
 So the teacher went off to a friend, well-known psychiatrlst. This doctor, a woman, went with her to the school and saw for her self what he was like. And Fred by this time was suffering so from mal-nutrition that he was a mere shadow of Q boy.
 "I'll have him sent to a hospital for a month," said the psychia- trist, "to get sun-rays and nour- ishment. But that Is not the cure. There is an ego there, he is suffer- ing from an exaggerated inferior ity. The other boys have shun- ned him because he is dirty and doesn't know how to behave. He won't even eat with them watch ing him. When he comes back treat him like a king, let him have the first seat and pass things. Coax him to the swimming every day and see what can be done about some decent clothes" wish you could see Fred now. His health and natural pride coax ed back, plus the wisdom of his teacher and the knowledge of the psychiartist, did the impossible. His mental twists have disappear | ed and he Is his own man.

 The young man was white. His hands were clenched.
 "Judy!" he said and he shook with Q frenzy of rage.
 'It's all right, Bastien," she said. "You needn't, worry. MT Gl4eon asked me to marry him and [ re- fused. We're more than quits. You can tell the boys that I'm not going to marry him.
 "Judy, you always said you would never marry until you fell in love. Aren't you ever going to fall in love?"
 "Oh, Bastien!" She heaved a deep sigh. although she laughed, too. He saw the sad. ness in her eyes and he wondered and wondered, having no inkling of the. truth.
 "Bastien," she went on,' "Chum- my hasn't been near me since she first came-that was four days ago. What has become of her? DO you think they've been marriedY
 "Oh, Judy, we should nave heard" he replied.
 "Oh, wish they wouldw she cried. "I do wish they would!
 Her eagerness seemed natural to him. so he missed the feverish note in her voice. As he said goodby. she took one of his hands and laid her cheek against it for Q second. just like q child. Before he could stop himself he had bent and kissed her hair.
 "Dear old Bastien!" Judy mur- mured. "You're such a pail"
 Dumont thought 1t strange that he had not seen either Chummy or steyne at the Cafe Turc for sev- eral nights. Perhaps they had gone off and been married without say ing anything. They couldn't nave made much of a festivity Of it, anyhow, with Judy laid up;

 Not sound was to be heard in the building. Dumont reached ner floor and knocked at her door; There was no response. He knocked again with the same result.
 He tried the door, then, ana found that it was locked; so he went in.

Committee Amendments
Are Accepted Despite
Verbal Barraqe.

Senate unemployment relief pro-
poSal, . designed to distribute the
cities, counties and towns gasoline
tax to the local communities Feb. l,
instead OF March 1, proceeded an
other step today after undergoing a
verbal barrage similar to that which
delayed its progress Monday.
Result of the senate debate was ex-
actly nothing, since the committee
amendments over which the contest
arose were accepted and the bill was
ordered printed and laid on the sem
ators' desks for another round
Wednesday.
Meanwhile the money to be dis
tributed, which Floyd e. Williamson,
state auditor, says is around $3,000,-
600, was increased by a final 5000,
600 payment of the funds borrowed
by the state highway department.
Total borrowed was $1,600,0O0.
Amendments Accepted
Amendments to the bill, accepted
tentatively today, would require
that all the money given to the To-
cal governmental units be expended
for wages only in road work and not
for contractor payments.
They provide that other than road
work might be done with the money
to provide additional jobs, and that
where poor. relief funds are de-
pleted, county commissioners may
transfer this money to township
trustees for poor relief.
Number of dependents must be
considered in selecting men for en-
ployment and not more than three
days work week given where work
must be divided to provide more
jobs The amendments provide. and
also that officials must cooperate
with the Governors unemployment
relief commission and local relief
agencies.
Holmes Leads OFF Debate
Senator G. Oliver Homes (Rep..
Lake. led of the debate by pointing
out that under the Indiana law
trustees may spend all that is nee
eSsary for poor relief and there is
no such thing as a depleted poor
relief fund.

the amendments.
The bill was introduced Jointly
Monday by Senator's Lee j. Hartzell
(Rep., Allen and Noble) and j.
Francis Lochard Den., Dearborn,
Jennings and Ripley. Hartzell
moved that the rules be suspended
and the bill placed on third reading
and passage at once.
Senator Earl Rowley (Rep., La
porte and Starke), moved the mat
ter be made a special order of busi-
ness Feb. 2, and debate started.
Although Lieutenant Governor Ed
gar D. Bush did his best to help
Hartzell, he was unable to stem the
storm of protest against hasty action
and the motion to suspend the
rules failed to get the thirds
vote required, although Rowley's
motion was tabled contrary to
senate rules.
Rowley used the opportunity to
attack Senator Alonzo H. Lind

Warren), who last week had a
senate committee on unemployment
appointed, out of which grew the gas
