juvenile Court STATISTICS pore
out another frequently-voiced
comment--that many of the
unwed mothers are not stopping
at one illegitimate child.
Multiple Cases Involved
OF the 1868 illegimate chill
dren born in 1856 to District
residents, according to health
records. 1905 wer the first child
in the family. The rest had
one or up to 10 brothers and
sisters or Tin the case of 226)
did not state the birth order.
The Juvenile Court, in a ran
dom 10 per cent sampling of
cases where support orders have
been issued. reported that in
cases involving Alb children, AZ
mothers had one other illegiti-
mate child and 168 had two or
more illegitimate children.
This problem of multiple
illegitimate children shows up
even among the teen-agers. A
girl appearing in court to estab-
lish paternity for the second
time had had two children be-
TWEEN her 18th and 14th BIRTH
days.
How does the Districts prob
lem compare with other cities?
The National Office of Vital
Statistics recently made avail
able a study Of the number and
rate OF illegitimate births in II
cities during 1855. That year,
the District recorded 3.470
illegitimate births-second only
Philadelphia with 3.781.
District Ratio Increases
The Districts ratio of illegit-
innate births that year was
1853 per thousand births. (By
1856. the ratio had climbed To
1857 per thousand).
| The 1855 ratio of 1858 per
thousand births here was nigh
er than Cincinnati with 1913;
Cleveland. 65.3; Detroit. 59.4;
Kansas City. Mo-, 68.3; Mil
waukee. 1875; Newark. 78.9;
Philadelphia, 82.6; Pittsburgh.
37.3; st. Louis. 93.6 or Toledo,
44.2.
i The Districts ratio was the
highest in both white and
Negro illegitimate births.
The Commissioners Youth
Council project will evaluate
existing community resources
to copewith the problem. what
more these resources can do,
what courses Of action should
be undertaken to reverse the
upward trend of illegitimacy.
Urban League Concerned
The Washington Urban
League, which has been con-
. cerned about the problem fol
years and is now operating un-
!; der a grant to promote more
adaptive homes for Negro chill
dren. has been consulting with

The Southern Maryland Elec-

More businesses here which
used candles for light and dry
ice for refrigeration were back
to normal late yesterday.
Trade by Candlesight
Typical of businesses hit by
the power blackout were stores
on Brookville road. north of
the District line. The Brook

From other District agencies
come these indications Of the
size Of the problem:
Since the prenatal clinic
opened at the Gales Center
last July. 80 per cent or 1888 OF
the 72l pregnant girls and
women visiting the center were
unwed.
More than 40 per cent OF
the babies delivered at District

count were born out Of we'd

In the public schools, while
there has been a rs per cent
increase in enrolment IN the
past five years. there has been
a rs per cent increase in the
number of girls excused from
school because of pregnancy
from 1877 girls in the 1952-53
school year to 242 in the 1856
81 school year.
The police Youth Aid Divi-
sion has no accurate way of
knowing how many of the boys
charged with offenses are il
legitimate. A four-month
sampling, however. showed that
80 per cent of the Negro boys
and IS per cent Of the white

fathers name-either because
he was missing or unknown.

The Independent insurance agent for
long, long time has performed a useful
service in the protection of homes and
businesses against damage to property,
liability for damage or injury to others,
and against loss of all kinds. Consequently,
the words insurance agent have become
so familiar they now are commonly used
to mean almost every type Of insurance
seller-of which there are many.
For the information of the public, and
professional pride, those insurance agents
who are members of local associations and
the National Association of Insurance
Agents as WELL have adopted this sign by
which you can tell them from all others.
Where you see it you can get auto fire
and general insurance, plus good insur-
ance agency service :. at the standard
rates approved by the appropriate rating
bureaus.

Facts ON Eggs
The small size Is the economy
size in eggs at this time Of year.
the United States Department
of Agriculture suggests to
homemakers. At this season
many hens Matched in the
spring reach laying age. and the
first eggs they lay are small.
This accounts for the sea-
sonal abundance of small eggs
and the likelihood Of q price
advantage to the family food
shopper for the next two
months.
When small eggs are the
economy buy, it's worth con-
sidering their other advant-
ages. They suit small-serving
needs, such as those Of young
people, invalids or adults for
whom a small serving has the
most appetite appeal.
