The story OF the Social
Service League of Montgom-
: cry County begins with the
concern of a Bible Class led
by Mrs. Henry j. Finley for
improving the condition of
the almshouse and Jail. The
League was formed in 1908
at a mass meeting of Mont
gomery County citizens at the
Town Hall in Rockville.
"For the purpose of securing the
proper housing and care of the
sick, of destitute children *. /. to
study the social and living condi-
tions of the people to arouse
general interest in securing ade-
quate provisions for the care of
the needy in their homes and in
institutions. j."
For the first two years, the work
of the Social Service League was
done entirely by volunteers, who
brought aid and comfort to the in
digent sick and visited the aims

illustrate the work done by telling
how one member donated tent
and another milk and eggs regu-
larly SO that tubercular patient
might seek cure in the yard of
his home. $50.

realized that many of the under
privileged families they were try
ing to help needed professional
service. First they employed a
nurse who devoted her time to
nursing those who were i'll and un-
able to pay for care. Several years
later a social worker was employed
not only to judge what families
were most needy, but to help these
families get back on their own
feet.
AS public institutions became
increasingly able to care for the
ill and dependent, the Social Serv-
ice League saw the physical ex-
animation of school children as the
next immediate health need. First
undertaken by the Leagues nurse,
the need for this service was SO
clearly demonstrated that the
Board of Education soon employed
school nurse and took over this
responsibility entirely.
Juvenile Court Established
The trustees and members of
the League, both through their
work with County institutions and
with INDECENT families, recognized
a crying need for a juvenile court

Our Human Relationships
By G.. H. GRAHAM
(The first of a series on the
Subject)
Habits of Industry

SuUJ6Ct/
Habits of Industry
There are many things to learn
in life if we would be happy. Many
of the troubles we may have in
later life could have been avoided
by the proper lessons at the proper
time, thus making our human rela-
tions happy and useful as they
should be.
Most people who are noted for
their industry will tell you that
they early acquired these habits
either from example or precept; it
is this latter that we will discuss
briefly.
Very early in life children may
be given little duties, things that
are within their power and along
the line of their interests. Under
no circumstance should these du-
ties be assigned as a punishment,
thus defeating the whole purpose
of teaching.
Among these early duties could
be the care of toys. A place should
be designated as the place for
keeping toys when they are not
being used. Very soon the lesson
will be learned that toys are never
to be left scattered here and there.
The mother who adds this task to
her long list is only doing much
harm to the children.
Often wagons, bicycles and other
playthings are left lying in the
way of people using walks and
they become a menace to people
at night. If such things are laid
away and the child deprived of
their use for a short time he will
learn the lesson so important in
life, "A place for everything and
everything in it's place"

Rabbi Judah the Chasid, that a
man shall not marry off. two of
his children on the same day"
1t is also found in various Jew
lsh legal sources with at least
two reasons for its inception.
The reason for this prohibition is
found in the Talmud where it is
stated that zone shall not mix
one happy occasion with an
other"
Thus, the double marriage
question could be considered as
not allowing proper respect and
rejoicing for either of the two.
Perhaps associated with this
reasoning is the claim of some
that such an occasion might in
duce envy, while another explain
alton places an antecedent upon
+le Biblical narrative which
,otes the lapse Of time between
the marriage of Leah and Rachel
to Jacob.
QUESTION: What is the origin
of the term "Chasunah" WED
ding)?
ANSWER: "Chasunah" today,
in Hebrew, means a wedding"
Its origin may have come from
several sources. Some claim it
comes from the word "Chasom, :"
which means Ito seal"

Mechanic Gets Term
For Attempted Assault

A 10-year penitentiary term was
imposed in Prince Georges County
Circuit Court yesterday on a

was convicted of the beating and
attempted rape Of a 33-year-old
waitress who said she had refused
his demal d that she commit an
unnatural sexual act.
The offense occurred August /
in an isolated spot near Suitland.
An all-male jury found Henry
Stanley Duke, II, of the SEQ block
of East Capitol street. guilty of
attempted rape after celebrating
so minutes. The jury's verdict,
which did not recommend len
iency. left Duke facing a possible
penalty of death by hanging.
Court attaches said the verdict
was one of the few in recent years
in which capital punishment was
possible that the jury did not
recommend against it's imposition.
Chief Judge John B. Gray, jr.,
told Duke in announcing sentence
that he had not imposed the
death penalty because the con-
yicted man had no previous
criminal record.
According to testimony given
during the day-long trial, the
woman me-, Duke in a downtown
cafe and accepted his offer to
drive her to her home. The
couple stopped at a Chinese
restaurant and then Duke, despite
her protest, drove to the scene
