World Is Better, Says Welfare ".Socially, morally and physically the world Is better than It was," said Dr. John A. Lapp In addressing » luncheon gathering at the Hotel Fon tenelle. Dr. Lapp was Introduced by Mrs. A. V. Kinsler, president of the! Christ Child society, under whose auspices he Is speaking here. Not only Is the speaker head of the Na tional Catholic Welfare association, but his name is well known for social service surveys of Toronto, Des Moines, Chicago and other cities, and as head of the Indianapolis leg islative reference bureau. “If I had gone to sleep 10 years ago and awakened today In a social service gathering, I wouldn’t know what the speakers were talking about. Wo had scjfl-cely thought of mental problems at that time. "In ths ’good old days' people were twice as unhealthy as they are now. From 19.8 per 1,000 20 years ago, the death tate has been lowered to 11.8. Talng the country as a whole, this means that 885,000 were saved, who would otherwise have died last year. Of this number, 250,000 were babies.” Speaking of the Chicago community ^jhest. Dr. Lapp said that It takes ”$80,000,000 a year to pay the bills for Chicago’s social work. “Where would a business of such vastness be conducted without a thorough going plan? Chicago Is a city of 3,000,000 people. It Is a rich city. How many people In the city do you suppose give $2 or more to social work? There are 100,000 people there giving as mueh as $2 to any single agency, and 87 1-2 per cent of the givers contribute to only one agency of the 230 In the eity. "A budget Is not scientific when It costs from $600,000 to $1,000,000 to raise $6,000,000, which Is the case In Chicago. "Twenty-five million people, ap proximately one-half of ail citizens qualified to vote, did not go to the polls at the last election, the su prfemest election of modem times. Some of this number were In Insti tutions, others were 111 or disabled, and others were women Just granted the suffrage, who could not be ex pected to become animated In their first few months of enfranchisement This means, however, that a greater opportunity Is given those who do vote. "I hellava wa can accomplish more through legislation than In any other way.' Dr. Lapp spoke last night on the topic, “Social Optimism," developing ths same lines as in his speech at noon, and discussing the general problems of social organization. He talked In the afternoon on “Health" to the nurses at St. Joseph and St. Katharine hospitals. • Webster County Pioneers Observe Anniversary Bladen, Neb., Feb. 28.—Mr. and Mra.

Dunlap, Lincoln. r Adele Garrison ^ ^ “My Husband’s Love” ^ Mrs. Bird Showed Slie Knew How to Handle Children. With the exception of Roderick, who shrank a bit closer to me, the three Harrison children turned ques tioning but eager eyes upon me at Mrs. Bird's invitation to go into her kitchen and sample her sugar cookies while #1 attended to driving the car Inside. It was but another instance of their dead mother's rigid training, which despite its lack of the human mothering touch they ao sorely need ed, yet had produced several admir able results. One of these was cau tion as they now evinced. There would be no danger of any one of the four being enticed away by a stranger. Palpably they were all at tracted by the program so Invitingly set forth by Mr*. Bird, but not one of them would accept it until X had set the seal of my approbation upon it. "That will be delightful,” I pro nounced promptly. "Go to Mary, Roderick, and ehe will take you where the cookies are.” There was no further hesitation. Roderick skipped to Mary's side, and as I made my way out of the door I had Just entered, the children Joy ously followed Mrs. Bird out of an other. Remembering Roderick’s Im perious demands for sliding down stairs and Jumping up and down, to which his Aunt Harriet had been forced to accede because of our fear of attracting attention to our expe dition, I covered the distance to the gate rapidly, anxious to put his aunt’s authority over the email boy as soon as possible. Edwin alighted aPhe eaw me com ing, and held the -door open for me in most approved chauffeur style. The Motorcycle Officer.

"Shall I open the gates?” "Please.” I replied. "I'll back right along here until I get to them.” "Hoad all clear behind,” lie said With a quick sweeping glance. "Not even a stray bicycle nor a pedes trian.” I backed and turned toward the gate, hut before I had passed through it, T heard the exhaust of a motor cycle, and a tr.-yflc officer passed us, slowing up perceptibly ns he did so. He did not stop, however, and when Edwin had closed the gates behind me and jumped upon the running heard of the car which I held waiting for him, the putt-putt of the officer's cycle was dying away down thi* street. “Did—he—look us over—as—if—” I faltered. "Ho looked senrchingly nt the car. certainly,” Edwin replied gravely; “that Is, he looked at the license platiE But that does not mean any thing. He probably has been given the number of some speeding ear which hnd caused an accident and Is looking for It.” The explanation was a most plaus ible one. and I tried to think no more of the incident. But while I achieved an outward calmness of de meanor when, after putting the car In the garage, I ushered Edwin and Harriet Into the house, my nerves felt as If they were banjo strings which some rough. Inexperienced hand was twanging furiously. Roderick on a Rampage. The outside door was not locked indeed, it was a trifle clear, and knowing that Mrs. Bird was busy with the children in the kitchen I did not wait to knock, but pushed the door open and entered. As we did so, wo heard a sound of yelling from the kitchen—Roderick’s voice, and Harriet started toward the sound, but I put a restraining hand upon her arm. I had seen Mrs. Bird and she had not, and I fancied the little woman might have her methods of dealing with a recalcitrant. “My auntie said I might slide down stairs and jump, and I'm going to right now, you nassy old sing,” he shrieked. Mrs. Bird's voice sounded with crisp pleasantness. “Mary—is that your name? Will you please go to that lower shelf and hand me down a new cake of soap? No, little boy, it isn't any use to kick. Vou can’t reach me, and you are go ing to sit right here until I let you up.” There was a tense silence In the kitchen, and Edwin, Harriet and I looked at each other In amazement.
