Tho annual report of the company Is

Tho Fidollty Reserve Is a home com
pany, having purchased property here
and Identified itself with tho Interests
of tho city. Its field Is tha state of
Nebraska, at present, but plans aro
maturing for oxtonslon Into other
states. The Company Is under the
Department of tho Trade and Com
merce of the State of Nebraska and
fully meets Its requirements In every
particular. When seen yesterday,

In a' communlctlon sent out this
morning by tho Publicity Committed
of tho Public Wolfaro 'Association Ihc
wrltor Bhows that tho Wolfaro Way
Is: the new slogan which stands in
opposition to tho Common Law "NVny.
Tho mcssagci follows:
"Tho common law way of dealing
with criminals Is to wait until a crime
has boon committed, then turti tho
matter over to tho police and detccl-
lvos to capture tho criminal If they
can and sometimes got tho wrong
man. At a later day tho court is o
poncd, tho Jury selected, tho evidence
hoard, tho lawyers argue, the Judge
ponders, tho decision Is reached and
tho prlsonor Is freed" or punished.
SomotlmeB thoy find they lmvo tho
wrong man.
Contrast this mothod which Is good
as far as It goes with tho Welfare
Way. It alms to prevent tho crime
before tho injury Is done; It halts the
criminal before tho crimo is commit
ted: It tries to prevent certain dls-
casos by proventlng tho marriage of
tho diseased; it scoks to decreaso tho
number of fooblo minded by rofuslng
to allow fceblo minded peoplo to boar
children; It would bunt out tho causes
nnd cure them
The proposod Child Wolfaro legis
lation will help to do these things.
They will bo good laws and the Pub
lic Welfare Association Is behind
them and Is working for tholr passago
at this session of tho legislature. It
asks all peoplo who boliovo In this
method f attacking our civic and so
cial problems to Join tha Association,
get back of tho legislature and help
put thoso laws on tho Btatute books.'"

Tho Directors of tho Chamber of
Commcrco at tho rogulnr mooting last
ovonlng, approved a plan for renaming
tho streets of this city. Tho confusion
which comos from tho present plan
has prompted soma investigations and
tho plnn adopted last night is suggest
ed ns one which will avoid this con
fusion In tho future. On the north,
tho city Is bordorcd by tho city park
nnd the cemetery. Taking what Is now
known ns thirteenth street ns tho
starting point and calling It first
strcot each street as wo go south is
given n consecutive number.
Again taking Locust Street as tho
baso lino It Is proposed to nnnio tho
streets east nnd west with tho lottors
of tho alphabet. Thus wo would havo
ctist A, cast P.. cast C, and so on and
wei A, west B. west C, etc.
The system has been worked out
by Postmaster Sturgls to meet tho
noods of tho cltv carriers nnd was
approved by tho Chamber of Connnor
co. In the near future, it will bo pre
sented to the City Council for Its
consideration. If such a chango is dc

of Chicago was relocated Just a year

THE IJ'.ST OF SCOUTING AS IN.
DEItSTOOD BY A BOY SCOUT
EXPERT.
The following contribution was pro
pared by Wm. M. Dnrrlball ot Donvori
who la Bpondlng a few wooks In North
Plntto, working with tho local council
ot tho Boy Scouts of Amorlca in got
ting scouting lined up here. Mr. Bnr
rlball Is Fiold Scout Exocutlvo thore
and as bucIi holds a position of res
ponsibility. This Is his ldoa of what
scouting really stands for:
"Stanloy Halt has said 'Childhood
Is tho submerged two-thirds ot soci
ety." Wo know very little about chil
dren. Wo loso ono ot ovory fivo in tho
first year of their lives. Parenthood
Is largoly In unsklfled hands. Tho
groatcst profession In tho world is in
unprofessional hands. Childhood la
not tho carofroo exlstonco wo usually
attributo to It. Think of tho many
diseases common to childhood nnd tho
popular attltudo to them. Even in
this enlightened ago parents aro
known to expose tholr children to dis
eases such as measles and chlckonpox
with tho suporstltlous idea that tho
sooner they got thru with It tho hot
ter, and yot thoso disonsos prove sor
ious in many instances.. As wo study
tho boys In their 'teens wo find that
so far as constructive leadership Is
concorned, fathorhood has greatly
broken down. Pathors aro not func
tlonlng efficiently In a largo numbor
of cases.
"This moans that tho Scout move

Somo way must bo discovered for con
structively nldlng tho homo. Its in-
