Mr.. Frick, zone circumstance in the
case which was so peculiar that it
could not easily be forgotten. There
was a question of fact, whether the
air adapted by Carusi to the words
was substantially the same as that
which had been used by Mr.. Russell.
On this point the musical experts,
proverbially discordant among them
selves, differed widely in their testi-
mony, Some insisted that the airs
were identical; other that there was
a marked and easily to be recog-
nized difference between them. To
reconcile this conflict of opinion it
was proposed by Mr.. Latrobe, who
was the plaintiffs counsel, that Mr..
John Cole, an old professional singer,
should be sworn as a witness and re-
quired to sing the two songs to the
jury, that they might judge for
themselves whether the two airs
were similar or not.
Il remember resisting most strenu-
ously, on behalf of the defendant,
the introduction of this novel species
of evidence; but the Chief Justice
overruled the objection, stating that
he would make a rule for the case,
which he considered a reasonable
one, however novel and peculiar it
might be; and that as the jury were

be taken to the clinic nearest his
home. There outstanding physi-
cians-high standards have been
set for all engaged in the program
will diagnose his case and determine
the nature of the treatment he will
receive. And if Robert needs ex-
pensive surgery? He will be sent
to a hospital, where he will be op-
Grated upon by the finest orthopedic
surgeon his State can procure. Per-
haps a long period of post-operative
care will be needed? And if braces
and medical supplies must be had?
All these things will be financed by
Federal-State funds as far as it is
possible to do so under this pro-
gram.
And then, after the hospital, what?
Is there to be a gloomy future for
15-year- -old Robert? Is he to 90
through life with the idea that
others may associate with him only
''in spite Of" his difficulty in walk
ing? Far from it. The nurses
trained in orthopedic work and the
medical social workers employed by
the States now enter the picture.
Plan for Restoration.
The moment Robert enters the
hospital for his operation the medi-
cal social workers begin to plan for
the day when he will return to his
home and to community life. If
he is able to return at once to his
own home the public health nurse
will be standing by to assist his
family in giving him the follow-up
care he needs. Sometimes the
child's home conditions may be such
that care in a convalescent home or
in foster home may be necessary
for a certain length of time. In such
cases the medical social worker can
help to make arrangements for such
care while at the same time helping
the child's family to make any
necessary adjustments for the child's
ultimate return. If the child's home

to determine whether the two airs
were substantially the same, the
best evidence with which they could
be furnished would be the singing of
them by an expert witness.
"Mr. Cole accordingly proceeded
in the gravest manner, under the
direction of the Chief Justice, to in
tone the two songs successfully in
open court; and the appearance of
the singer, the lamentable, monoton-
Gus cadence of both airs, the pathos
of the words, which, as nearly as
recollect, ran somewhat in this way:
"I love it! I love it! And who
shall dare

Some time ago the writer came

in the suit mentioned. Credit is

"3. The provision of the act of
1920, commonly called the Missouri
Compromise, insofar as it undertook

Congress, and void and of no legal
effect to that end.
TN deciding these main points
the Supreme Court determined also
the following incidental points:

pend on the general provisions of
the Constitution, which define in
this, as in all other respects, the
powers Of Congress.
3. AS Congress does not possess
power itself to make enactments
relative to the persons or property
of citizens of the United States in
Federal territory, other than such as
the Constitution confers, so it can
not constitutionally delegate any
such powers to territorial govern
ment organized by it under the Con-

Other Opinions.
Justice Nelson read a modified
opinion, but on the main issue seems
to have sided with the majority de-

in his separate opinion, agreed in
substance with the majority de-

dissented.

of 5 and 10 in the United States

per cent of these children can be
restored to normal existence, physi-
clans affirm.
Sympathy for crippled children is
not new. No group of children is
more appealing. But the extent of
the problem in the United States
was not known until recent years.
The first attempt to assemble Ma
tion-wide statistics as to the num-
ber of crippled children was probably
that of the 1880 White House Con-
ference on Child Health and Pro-
lection, which estimated" that
there are about three crippled chill
dren for every 1000 population-or
approximately $4,000 for the coun-
try as a whole.
Many Of these do not need public
assistance. Their parents or rela-
tives are able to provide the skilled
treatment and intelligent followup
care they need. Or the many pri-
vate organizations which have pi-
oneered in the field have come to
their aid.
Conditions Changed.
But for thousands of crippled chill
dren, especially those living in re-
mote rural districts or in areas
suffering from severe economic dis
tress, there was little hope of being
restored to good physical condition.
On the contrary, instead of looking
forward to life as useful citizens,
these boys and girls saw themselves
doomed charges on their families
or upon society.
Through the Crippled Children's
Division of the Children's Bureau

sultants, orthopedic surgeons, med
ical social workers and public health

There are plenty of big, important
news stories breaking in Washing
ton these days, but the most thrill
ing Of all has not single headline
to its credit.
It's story about children, about
crippled and handicapped children
throughout the country whom a
kindly Uncle Sam is helping to win
their way back to glowing health
and a normal way of life.
With so many other things hap
pening in Washington, this kind
of story sort of gets lost in the
shuttle. Yet, judged by any
standard, it is worth the telling.
And it means, truly that a new and
brighter day has owned for thou
sands of gallant youngsters in
every part of the Urited States.
Each year, Uncle Sam received
countless poignant letters from such
children for assistance, but it was
not until the Social Security Act
was passed that he found his first
opportunity to respond according
to the dictates of his heart.
And it is only now, within recent
months, that the whole machinery
has reached a point where it is
functioning as the trainers of a
section of that legislation had
visualized But the time has come
at last and now the marvels of
orthopedic surgery are at the COM
mand of the poorest child in the
land.
This tremendously moving story
had its beginning in the rather
prosaic language of Title v, Part 2,
of the Social Security Act, which,
as originally passed, authorized an
annual appropriation of $2,850,000
for Federal grants to the States
for the purpose of enabling them

the past, 1t is pointed out, if knowl-
edge OF how to prevent certain
disease had been disseminated,
many children might have escaped
being crippled. They declare that
the principal causes of gripping
infantile paralysis, birth injuries,
congenital deformities, accidents,
bone tuberculosis and rickets-offer
great opportunities for work in pre-
ventive medicine.
The question is asked: "If I have
a crippled child, how can I arrange
to have him cared for?"
The most direct way to accom-
plish this it to write to ones own
local agency providing these serv-
ices, for every State is carrying on
this type of program.
In the District crippled children's
work is handled by the Bureau of
Maternal and Child Welfare, di-
vision of the Health Department.
Corresponding divisions in nearby
States are the Crippled Children's
Bureau in Virginia and the Division
OF Services for Crippled Children in
Maryland, both under the health
departments. In each case the To-
cal authorities furnish the services
for crippled children, and their doc
tors determine whether a child is
eligible for the aid extended to
cripples.
Letter to White House.
Take, for example, the typical
case of lad named Robert who
has written to the White House
as so many do-explaining his need
OF treatment. The White House
sends Roberts letter to the Chill
dren's Bureau, where staff members
Immediately forward it to those in
charge of the crippled children's
agency in the boys State. At the
same time Robert receives a letter
from the Children's Bureau telling
him about the program in his State.

remake Roberts body and his fu-
ture life is set IN motion. He will

with the development of ortho-
pedic surgery, change has taken
place in the attitude toward crippled
children and the whole approach to
the problem has undergone process
OF evolution" declared Mary Wysor
Keefer, medical social consultant in
the crippled children's division of
the Children's Bureau. with the
correction of deformities made pos
sible through the marvels of medical
science, a whole new vista Of posi-.
bilities opened up for the person
whose physical handicap had set
him apart from his fellow human
beings out Of the main stream Of life.
New opportunities have been made
available to him not only because
OF the improvement in his physical
condition but also because this DOS
sibility Of correcting deformities
resulted in a changing and receptive
public attitude. Organic impair
ment need no longer mean that a
child is disabled for profitable en-
ployment in his later life"
To the National Capital each day
come letters from crippled children
whose existence was barely suspected
until 1t became known that a way
had been found to take care of those
Tor whom no care had been avail
able. In some remote sections, it is
said, the existence of a crippled
child often was held to be something
to conceal. The changing attitude
toward the problem is declared to
be one Of the most encouraging re-
suits Of the work now being done.
And one Of its most appealing aspects
is the hope evident in the letters
that come from the children them
selves.

turn from time to time for follow
up treatment, it is easy to see that
travel back and forth might be be-
yond the family's resources as well
as fatiguing for the youngster. The
benefits of skilled surgical and med
ical treatment, hospital and nursing
care might be lost for lack of ade-
quate after care. Hence the en-
phasis on the role of the public
health nurse and the medical social
worker in the well-rounded program
of services to crippled children
which are now being developed un-
der the Social Security Act.
Physicians today know that this
business Of helping crippled children
is much more than a matter of
healing broken bones. The medical
social workers take up their work
in cooperation with the surgeon.
They see how vitality necessary it
is to Danish the depressed mental
attitude Of the crippled child, who,
lonely and disheartened, for years
left on the outside Of life in his COM
munity, is seeking to be like other
children. The medical social worker,
a relative newcomer in the field of
welfare work, holds out q guiding
hand to the child seeking to read
just himself to normal life among
other children and ultimately In the
adult world.

It Is the business Of the medical
social worker to help young Robert
make comeback and take his place
in the world as an independent indi-
vidual so that If he is embittered
because Of long illness, his attitude
toward the world will change and
he will take his rightful place.
The medical social worker can
arrange for Robert to continue his
education during his recuperative
days, whether in his own home, in
a foster home, q convalescent home
or in school. If he is in q conva-

to extend and improve serv-
ices for locating crippled children
and for providing medical, sur
gical, corrective and other services
and care, and facilities for diagnosis,
disqualification, and after-care for
children who are crippled or who
are suffering from conditions which
lead to Gripping"
Many Thousands Aided.
These funds are administered by
the United States Children's Bu-
reau through its Crippled Children's
Division. Grants are made to the
States upon approval by the chief
of the Children's Bureau of State
plans for services to crippled chill
dren for which the States also
supply funds. Since February l.,
1886, when the first Federal ap-
preparation for this purpose was
made services for crippled children
have been established in every
State, the District of Columbia,
Alaska and Hawaii. and by June 80,
1899, there were about 224,000
crippled children on the official
registers of the State agencies. In
fact, there were more needy crippled
children than there were combined
State and Federal funds to care
for them.
This situation impelled Congress
to take action at its last session.
The amendments to the Social Sc
curity Act in August increased the
amount authorized for grants to
States for services to crippled chill
dren from $2,850,000 to $3,870,0 900.
This will help to provide for some
of the more than 14,500 crippled
children on the waiting lists of
State agencies, most of them wait
ing because of lack of funds. And
beginning in January, 1910, 1t will
aid Puerto Rico in this work for
the first time.
This amendment also makes it
possible for the first time to give
treatment to children crippled from
heart conditions. Approximately

entirely with the decision, and his
modified opinion in some respects
amounted to the same thing. OF
the justices from Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,,
two dissented, one read a
separate opinion, while Grier of
Pennsylvania concurred in the de-
cision. From this it would seem
that the decision was about as near
ly unanimous as the Supreme Court
usually decides cases today.
AS might well be supposed, Judge
Taney had many important cases
to come before him for decision
during the 28 years he was on the
Supreme Court bench. One inter-
esting suit to come before him at
the Circuit Court in Baltimore and
in which a member of a Well-known
Washington family was defendant
is related by William F. Frick, one
of the counsel in the case, of which
he says in part:
Reed was a music seller in Bos-
ton and had published and copy
righted an air set to the words of
popular ballad of the day, COM
posed by Miss Eliza Cook and called
The Old Armchair The author
ship of the music was claimed by
Mr.. Henry Russell, famous singer,
and the piece was in great demand.
Carusi was music publisher in
Baltimore, who, availing himself of
the popularity of the song, had
adapted to the words another some
what similar air, which he claimed
to be different composition, and
published and sold it; and he was
sued by Reed in the Circuit Court
before Chief Justice Taney for an
infringement of his copyright.
Novel Features in Case.
"The case was entirely novel in
its features and presented some very
perplexing questions as to what con-
stituted originality in musical COM
position, and as to the right of Mr..
Russell to be considered the author
of the air which had been copy
righted. There was a great deal
of learned musical testimony and
forensic discussion on these very
important points, the particulars of
which, and the chief Justices ruling
thereon, do not remember.
But I recall very distinctly" says
