been pretty, red-haired girl but some time after
graduation she became peculiar and had spells"
Mrs. Adams had called the doctor that time, in
fact several doctors, who told the mother that
nothing could be done for the girl except to keep
her comfortable, let her take life easy and protect
her from the shocks and problems of life.
$50 you thought claiming her in dark cell
like that was the best way to do it?" asked the
police.
"No, didn't want to do it that way" the old
lady moaned wrnging her hands. II don't suppose
anyone will understand, but that is the way it
worked out the only way could keep her home"
Again she insisted that it was done for love of
her daughter.
The reader may well believe on the simple
statement of facts, so far that mother love had
nothing to do with the case; that either the mother
was insane or downright cruel by nature. Yet,
that would be a mistake. The motive was mother
love, twisted mostly by what is known as the
'logc of conflict"
Take Verna's case, which came first. Mrs.
Adams began by doing the right thing, consulting
enough specialists to be justified in believing she
had the right advice and then trying to act on it.
Any parent who dearly loves child hates to
send it away to an institution, though that is the
best hope there is of cure She especially
excusable because the doctors had promised her
cure, in any event Therefore why not keep
the girl at home, relieved of all cares and re-
sponsibtes?
There grim obstacles in the way. First
of all, mother cannot bear to have the neighbors
know that her child is queer" This dread begins
even before the child is born, the fear that it will
be deformed marked" To prevent this dis
covery she must not let Verna meet people which
meant that she must not go out of the house. must

The surest and quick

NNEHAT makes apparently normal people
w chain up other people? 1t is estimated
w that there are at least 5000 of these fet-
tered prisoners, in garrets and cellars, some in
total darkness, throughout the country their own
parents usually their jailers.
Well, believe it or not, one motive is love, often
mother love- generally considered the highest most
unselfsh form of ALL as was the case which turned
up the other day in Denver, Colorado.
Neighbors in Julian Street of that city had
begun to wonder what had become of Mrs Mae
Adams two daughters. The explanation should
have been a reasonable one, at least as far as the
mother was concerned, because nobody was more
quiet, kindly and respectable than 72-year-old Mrs
Adams. But since she evidently did not want to
talk about her two girls, few were tactless enough
to ask
Then one of the missing daughters appeared
with crash and a scream as she broke out of a
window Of the house and dangled, shreking, at the
end of a chain
The police came and pulled her back into the
room. The screamer proved to be Mrs Adams
older daughter, Amy, aged 48.
One end Of the chain was fastened securely to
Amy's waist, the other TO a stout hook in the
ceiling. 1t gave the prisoner some freedom of
movement about the room, but not much To the
police. it suggested stories of medieval times
How long have you kept her that way?' they
asked
Two or three years" said the aged mother
''Why did you do t?'
Because loved her So" was the answer that
surprised the police Veteran policemen

A Jewish" Regiment

Sir James Grigg, British Secretary of State for War;
announced in the House of Commons last week the creation
of Palestine regiment of the British Army, consisting of
an exclusively Jewish and exclusive Arab battalion.
The method taken would to satisfy neither the OppOn
ens nor the proponents of Jewish Army in Palestine.
Those who have opposed a Jewish Army beginning with
the Colonial Secretary in London and ending with some
obscure rabbi in Michigan have cOntended either that it
would create "civi war; in Palestine that would
establish the Jews separate entitythe latter being
deemed undesirable Could these people satisfied now
that Jews seggregaed" into battalion by the Ofc
al action of the British Government?
On the other hand, the advocates of Jewish Army
have had concession to them principle not in fact
The British Government admitted through Sir James Grgg
that necessary to revise its methods of providing

three of being in the fit to put together the
isolated companies in which Jews had volunteered into
