WELFARE BOARD
PUTS INBUSY YEAR
Scope of Work Increased in
1917 by Addition of
Domestic Relations
Bureau.
Mrs. R. M. Oliaus, superintendent
of the Hoard of I'ublic Welfare, re
ports that during the year the scope
of her work was increased In addition
of a domestic relations hu can, conva
lescent aid work, supervision cf dance
halls and enlarged usefulness of the
free employment and free legal aid
departments.
The free leal aid bureau handled
1.458 cases and recovered ?5,5(J.? for
indigent and worthy clients. 1). J.
Connell of the state labor lepartineut
has been assigned office mom in the
Welfare department and he disposes
of all legal cases involving wages for
labor and also cases of compensation.
The Welfare board coiitimu. tc co
operate with the federal, state and
county governments in the labor em
ployment feature of the work. During
the year 10,22 men and women were
furnished employment through this
public employment office. The sal
aries ranged from $40 to $125 per
month and wages from 27'i to 40
cents per hour. The legal aid depart
ment corrected some of the abuses
practiced by private labor ngencics.
Many Cases Handled.
Three hundred and fifty cases of
marital unhappiness came within the
observation of the domestic relations
bureau during the year. Divorce was
advised in only 10 of all the domes
tic cases reported. Most of the cases
were adjudicated by straightening out
the kinks and starting the disputants
again on their ways rejoicing. Mrs.
Ohaus reports that 187 of the marital
cases were restored to complete re
habilitation and 133 to partial rehabil
itation. The inspectors visited 769 places
in a housing survey, the net result of
that work being the serving of 119
notices on building owners or to other
eity departments to correct undesira
ble conditions.
In order to regulate and eliminate
the overlapping of organizations and
institutions doing charity work, a bu
reau of indorsement, under the joint
management of the welfare commit
tee of the Commercial club and the
Board of Public Welfare, was estab
lished. It is the purpose of the board
to issue each year a pamphlet recom
mending to the philanthropic public
those organizations which have com
plied with the rules of the bureau.
Supervise All Charities.
The city council, early in the year,
passed an ordinance governing street
solicitation by authorizing the Board
of Public Welfare to regulate all pub
lic solicitations for any and all chari
ties. Solicitors are given indorsement
cards issued by the Welfare board.
In connection with the food con
servation movement, the board last
spring bought $1,500 worth, of seeds
which were sold at cost, and co-operated
in the work of obtaining use
of vacant tracts of land for those that
woutd cultivate them. Canning and
drying classes were held for the bene
fit of nearly 1,000 persons, who were
instructed. Two drying plants were
operated at cost and 1,200 bushels of
products were dried. Gardening, seed
sales, canning and drying will be pro
moted during 1918 on a larger scale.
Conservation of food will be one of
the foremost efforts of the board dur
ing this year.
The board now supervises 37
licensed public dance halls. Rules for
the operation of these places have been
adopted. In the future when a man
or woman is barred from one dance
place he or she will not be allowed to
attend another. Persons under 18
years of age are not allowed in public
dance places without an older com
panion, i
QUAKE BRINGS
ENORMOUS LOSS
IN GUATEMALA
Guatemala City, Guatemala, Jan. 1.
Earth shocks that began here at II
o'clock on Christmas night and are
stilt continuing, caused millions of
dollars' damage to this city, the death
of a few persons and the injury of
about 100 others.
The devastation wrought was wide
spread. The presidential palace, the
postoffice, the cathedral, all the
churches, the hospitals, the schools
and Masonic temple were seriously
damaged. The electric lighting sys
tem was put out of commission and
telegraphic and railway communica
tion interrupted.
RUSS SIGN FOR
PEACE; OPPOSE
CONQUEST WAR
Washington, Jan. 1. An official
German statement sent out from the
government wireless station at Nauen,
outlining in detail the Russian pro
posal of a basis of peace, was made
public last night by the committee on
public information.
The message describes the session
of the negotiators at Brest-Litovsk on
December 11 and quotes the Kussian
delegation as declaring that they
signed conditions of peace, consider
ing it "a crime to continue war simply
for the purpose of making annexa
tions." "
Boyles College Increases
Its Seatiny Capacity
In order to take care of a remark
able increase in business, Boyles col
lege has added 100 new desks, and
indications are that practically all of
them will be filled on January 2, open
ing day of the winter term. For the
year just closed we have had the larg
est attendance in our history," said H.
B. Boyles, president.
"Business colleges all over the coun
try are full, too, but even at that we
cannot turn out graduates fast enough
to meet the demand. Uncle Sam
keeps calling for stenographers, clerks,
telegraphers. Young men are going
into the army from commercial life,
leaving thousands of good positions
vacant in the business world. We
must supply trained men and women
to take their places. Never has there
been such a demand for trained help
in business offices, nor such a demand
on the part of the government. This
opens unparalleled opportunities for
those who acquire a business education.

Daily Average 200.
The figures shown in the tabula
tions for December are for the first
half of the month only, and inctuuded
the big drive made for recruits during
the first 15 days. This would leave a
quota of 604 men needed in order to
swell the enlistments to 10,000, and
although registrants were no longer
permitted to enlist after December
15, enough men upwards of draft age
enlisted during the latter part of the
month to bring the total to 10,000,
making an average daily enlistment
of about 200 men.
The big rush to enlist during the
first half of. December was made by
registrants who wanted to take ad
vantage of the opportunity to get in
under voluntary enlistment banner
before the last day, as by so doing
they could select any particular
branch of the service they desired,
rather than wait to be drafted.
