Broken Dow. A new ruling In tho
mothers' pension cases 1ms been
mado by County Judge Ford that
probably will ilnd favor with othur
Judges throughout the state.) In
granting n pension to tho minor oh IK"
tlren of an Arnold woman, the court
Bald:
"I mn going to make a new ruling
in these pension cases. I shall re
quire tho applicants to render to mo
an itemized statement at the end of
tho six months showing how thry
spend this money. As I understand
the law, It contemplates the using of
this money for tho minors and not
for any other person. Ono reason
why I "have arrived at this conclusion
is that my attention has been called
to tho fact that one of the applicants
for peirsion has been, from all nppcnr
unces, nt least, putting all this pen
sion money upon her own backv I
have noticed that she is clothing her
self much more expensively than sho
did before sho received tho pension
and 1 notice that her . children are
not looking any better. Tho above,
however. Is not tho only reason, for,
ufter a careful study of tho law, I be
lieve It to bo tho duty of the court,
to know how this money is spent and
If It is not used Judiciously to discon
tinue the pension. Therefore, all or
ders from this court granting pen
sions will also contain an order re
quiring the applicant to render at tho
end of tho six months on Itemized
statement showing how the pension
Is spent, and I bellevo that this will
aid mo materially In determining
whether tho applicant is entitled to a
renewal or not."
