LAWS OF ADOPTION

Life and WeII-Being of Chill
dren Endangered, Asserts
Miss Terrett.

Tie law Of the District governing the
adoption Of children endangers the life
and well-being of every child born or
resident Of the District, Miss Mildred
Terrett, director of the Juvenile Protec-
tive Association, declared today.
Miss Terrett said the only safeguard
for child being adopted under the
existing law is the provision which
makes the child an heir to any property
Of the adaptive parents
Outside this provision, she declared,
the child is at the mercy of chance
found into an adaptive home the
words IF the Judge shall find that the
petitioner is proper person to have
custody of the child" being the only
ones recognizing the need of protection
against INSCRIPTIONS persons.
Another laxity in the law, she said,
is the absence of a suitable restriction
against babies being taken from their
mothers shortly after birth. 1t is now
possible, she declared, for an outside
party to go to hospital soon after a
baby is born and interview mother
with the purpose of gaining her consent
to giving her child over for adoption.
This, she said, means that in number
of cases a child has been signed away
by its mother, or both parents, before a
real opportunity to provide for 1t has
been given.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, March 9.-The police case
against six suspects In the Boettcher
kidnapping has become "ircnclad," Chief
Of Police Albert T. Clark announced
today.
The chief also predicted that officers
on the trail Of two of the six not yet
In custody would capture them before

believed by Clark to be fleeing into
Canada. Two women and two men are
IN jail here. Federal kidnapping charges
have been filed against all six.
Information which caused Chief Clark
to state he had an "ironclad" case, he
said, came from Arthur Youngberg,
alleged member of the kidnap band,
captured at q ranch house, allegedly
owned by Sankey. near Chamberlain,
s. OAK. Police said Youngberg was the
guard who watched Charles Boettcher,
31-year-old wealthy broker, in the base
ment at the Sankey ranch during the
16-day period In which negotiations for
$50 900 ransom were completed.
Youngberg and Boettcher were brought
together in the chiefs office just after
the scion Of the pioneer Colorado family
had come from q hospital where his
wife had given birth to baby daughter,
their second child.
"Boettcher closed his eyes tight when
asked Youngberg questions" Clark
said In describing the scene. when

NRA VTOLATORS
FACE $500 FINE
And SIX MONTHS
rcontinued rom First Pagel

Johnson said preliminary investi-
CATION of price rises so far had un-
covered no unjustified increases by
wholesalers, but that there might
be some excessive retail markups.
Secretary Perkins announced that
more than 100000 workers found
jobs during September in the seven
teen Industrial and business groups
reporting to the Bureau of Labor
statistics.
The employment estimated for last
month had placed the number of
persons re-employed this year at g.
100000.
Miss Perkins said more than 200,-
900 workers were re-employed in
manufacturing industries and a
slightly larger number in retail es-
adjustments.
The first $4,000 answers to NRA's
unemployment census of all business
establishments arrived; between two
and three million employees remain
to be heard from and first tabulation
of the results was expected to begin
at the census bureau within two
weeks.
James True, writer of a weekly
letter on government activities sold
to business clients, was barred from
attendance at Johnson's press con-
ference for having sent out infor-
nation some of which Johnson had
said was libelous.

NRA FAvORS ADVERTISING

Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, head of the
NRA, says that American industry
must help the public to find the
goods it needs. 1.-THE modern meth
cd is Advertising he says. The
NRA looks to advertising as the
chief instrument to push its buying
campaign.
Many of the letters which the
NRA is getting speak of the energy
with which business concerns are
pushing advertising campaigns. 1t
is made clear that advertising is an
essential feature of the NRA cam
paign, and whenever any business
concern increseas its advertising, it
is patriotically cooperating with
this great movement.
When a business concern increases
its advertising, it does its part to
overcome the cloud of depression
which has hung over the country.
But advertising is pushing dem
clouds away" 1t is convincing the
people by facts and figures that they
will save money when they buy
now," that prices are sure to be
higher, and that investing in goods
which people are going to want
later is one form of thrift and econ
omy.
1t takes solicitation, persuasion,
and reasonable argument to induce
people to spend their money. If
the business world just waits for
recovery to come, it will come in
time, but the recovery will be slow.
But if reasons are presented why
people should buy the things they
need now, such appeals will take
effect at once, the stores will be
filled with customers, a new current
of money will circulate in trade,
putting millions of unemployed
workers back on the job.

MRS. HENS TROUBLES

The American hen, it is said, has
hard time satisfying the egg eat
ing public. In the west and mid
west, New York, and many other
localities, people demand white
eggs. But New England and some
other sections, they like brown
eggs. In the south they don't care,
so long as they don't get partly
Matched chicken.
Some will argue that white egg
suggests cleanliness, and gives an
impression that Mrs. Hen had her
dinner served up in high style. Yet
some think a white egg looks too
pale, while a brown egg suggests
hearty fare. But many will say
that when you get the good old
omelet in autumnal sunset hues on
the table, it slips down the great
red way so fast that you care not
whether it came in a white or a
brown package.

ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE

Can the United States do business
and employ labor fully, if it main
tains economic independence from
the rest of the world? Can we make
a comfortable living by supplying
our own needs, regardless whether
foreign peoples buy our goods?
1t is said we must get back the
large foreign trade we have lost,
before we shall have all our people
at work. And yet the present ten
dency in every important nation, is
for each nation to try to create an
economic independence, in which it
lives simply by supplying its own
needs.
Even in the boom days, our ex-
ports to foreign countries were only
about 10 per cent of our production.
There is a vast possible business in
those foreign countries, which all
desire our products, but now they
are too poor to pay for them. Some
day they will be able to buy them.
For the present, the home market
is by far the more important, and
our biggest gains will come from
developing that market.
Yet conditions in foreign coun-
tries affect us closely. The Amer
ican banking collapse of 1888 would
not probably have happened, had it
not been for the failure of many
banks and other disaster in Europe.
That led to fears that similar things
would happen in America, which
led to runs on American banks, and
eventually to the general bank holi-
day.
The nations can live by supply
ing their own needs. But they are
closely tied together, and the in
huences that shake one country
shake all of them. If foreigners be-
come alarmed about American con-
ditions, they rush to sell American
securities, which makes financial
trouble for us. We need such in
agreements as shall
stop the evil of fIuctuating curren-
cies and create sound banking con-
ditions.

most arrived. On October 20 we ex-
pect to enter and dedicate our new
church to the Wilmington Confer
ence and also to God. We are cor
daily inviting everyone who will to

DANCING FLAMES

AS the cool nights of the autumnal
season come on, the family tradi-
tionally used to gather about the
dancing flames on the open hearth.
Do they do so today, in these times
when so much is going on in the
average town, with so many pleas
ant doings to take us out of the
home?
Certainly some of the families do,
as one hears people tell how much
they enjoy the good old custom OF
sitting around fire on the hearth,
exchanging pleasant thoughts in
their own circle, or with neighbors.
II you could know what the home
folks said under the freight in
these informal meetings, you could
get an idea of the future of politics
and religion.
Through those Pickering embers,
we can see the scenes of youth, the
friends of former days. Memory
grows sweet as reflection is thus
promoted, and people value the
home that has such center of rest
and thought.

CALL TO BIENNIAL CONVENTION
OF NATIONAL WOMAN'S PARTY

The National Woman's Party
calls its members to come and take
part in its biennial convention to be
held in Wilmington, November 4 and
5, in the DUPONT Hotel.
Women. you know that since the
depression overlook us, and has
been acknowledged, that attacks ON
woman's rights to work has been
made through nearly every legisla-
tive assembly in the United States.
Especially have married women tea
chers and married women in gov
ernment employ, been attacked. Ev-
en- the President of the United
States has urged, through personal
intervention to the governors of the
thirteen states that minimum wages
be passed for women. This is the
first time in history that President
has urged unequal laws for women.
At present under the National Re-
covery Act, trade codes are being
drawn up that in their present form
discriminate against women. We are
opposed to the attempt to thrust
married women back to a position
of economic dependence. We know
that compulsory dependence is not
good for any human being.
We want and need your presence
to help us in making plans for the
campaign for the passage of the
Equal Rights Amendment. 1t is i'm
perative that this amendment be
written into the national Constitu-
tion of our country in order that ex-
isting determinations against wo-
men in the laws of our country will
be removed and all future discrimi-
nations will be prevented.
It lies in the power of women to-
Gay, if they will but avail themselves
of it, to protect their own status, as
well as their economic liberty. Will
you be one of those women on whom
we may count? We heartily urge you
to attend.
