vr ; The Social Service Bureau's Report

-4 ; , The wide scope of the activity of the Social Service Bureau, as it daily executes its mission of V thoughtful betterment of unfortunate men and

, women, was revealed in a report which was pubV lished a few days ago. One could see at a glance that the work of the bureau is a comprehensive one, and yet so well organized that efficiency is attained in the application of benevolent service

to those who need it.

The bureau has been in existence long enough to banish all thought of reverting to the old system of indiscriminate charity, which was admin- ; isteml by' the various agencies and overlooked ; the indispensable factor of educating the recipient to become a self-supporting unit of the social I structure. t Hand in hand with many of the departments

; of the bureau goes an educational process which tries to teach the individual how to avoid the

causes of poverty and to attain independence. Therein lies the real strength of any social service program. Unless it is able to reach unfortunate men and women with a message that will induce them to forsake wrong methods of living and to adopt those that lead upward, social service defeats its own purpose. ' This does not mean that the principle of benevolence and kindness is relegated to the rear and that every application of charity follows a hard and fast rule. True charity appreciates the agony of misfortune and grief, and relieves it forthwith. This phase of the bureau's activity is nicely illustrated bv a condition in the Whitewater

school, where undernourished children are sup- . plied with milk at the morning and afternoon recess. The need of food for these children to enable them to carry on their schooling is recognized by the bureau, and so one of its committees, co-operating with the board of education, is fulfilling a highly important mission.

Another phase of the varied activity of the

factory working of the system. It is surprising to note how many phases of social work are di

rected and handled by this bureau, which is based on the principle of improving the city.

It has been doing its work quietly but effectively for many months. The results which it

publishes from time to time in its reports speak for themselves. They tell of families that have been educated to see the happiness that comes from being self-supporting, of men and women who have been helped out of temporary distress and trouble, of children whose physical growth is being stimulated by proper food, of girls and women who are learning the various duties of housekeeping and domestic economy.

Answers to Questions

Easthaverrs Profitable Farm The report of the state accountants showing that the farm of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane saved the state $47,413 proves the

value of competent administration of a public in

stitution. This was a net profit to the state. Dr. Smith has been the leader in many move

ments for the improvement of conditions' in institutions such as is the one over which ho presides. The farm colony plan .wljio.h has Ixn in operation at the institution for a number of years marked a distinct advance in .the treatment of patients who were able to work. The

system was based on the theory that manual work to engross the attention of the patient would redound to his mental welfare. By careful and painstaking supervision of the big institution which is under his care, Dr. Smith, according to the report of the accountants, has been able to save the state a large sum of money without working a hardship on the patients or permitting necessary improvements to lag. Management of this kind is sure to bring results, and the firie showing of the farm is only one indication of the faithfulness with which the task of supervising the institution is performed.

ROME, Doc. 14. King ictor Emmanuel was keenly interested today when he was told by Gianni Capronl, the airplane inventor, of a projected giant plane which would carry 300 persons across the Atlantic in about 36 hours. Plans for the machine are now being completed, and provisions are being made for dining and sleeping accommodations on board the aerial liner. A smallerairplane designed by Signor Caproni will make its first trial trip in January near Lake Maggiore. This airplane will be capable of carrying 100 persons a distance of 500 miles, it is said.

Work on the trans-Atlantic piane will be started as soon athis smaller liner has been tested. During his conversation with the king. Signor Caproni told him of his plan to return to New York next spring and begin the construction of a new airplane factory near New York City. Several interviews between Signor Caproni and Colonel James Chaney, aerial attache at the American embassy here, have ben hid, and th inventor has met other officials of the embassy.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 14. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers members and officials ot thenew Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Co-Operative National Bank here are trying to interest members of the next Ohio general assembly in legislation making it possible for Ohioans to organize "people's banks" patterned after credit unions in New York, Massachusetts and North Carolina. The draft of a proposed uniform law, creating "people's banks" has been prepared by Walter F. McCaleb,

vice -president and manager ' oi tne brotherhood's bank, assisted by Dr. II.

Parker Willi3, professor in Columbus j university and attached to the re-j search division of the federal reservo ;

oard. !

"A people's bank or credit union is i

a co-operative organization lormeu by a group of working people," Mr. McCaleb said. "Each member buys shares, which usually are $10 par value, paying for them in cash or installments. Thereafter he is free to make deposits or to borrow from the institution for emergency needs. "Personal credit is the essence of the proposed banks. Character is indisputably the ultimate asset on wnich banking credit rests, but tins r.mall borrower, whatever his character, has always had difficulty In approaching the source ot credit. The fault is not with the banks, but with the credit mechanism in general, which still is but poorly developed." v Shareholders in the proposed banks,

Mr. McCaleb explained, would deposit i their surplus funds periodically and j the earrings of the association would j come from interest paid by borrowing j

members and from such investments as the association may make.

drab December, but few of us remember how good the new year seemed; its guarantees were thrilling, it promised the fulfilling of all the dreams we dreamed. December always sees us so tired that naught will please us except a brand new year, wherein to try fresh measures for profits and for pleasures, to spend and profiteer. Old year, so sad and sickly, get out, and do it quickly you've hung around too long! Old jaws are always creaking and musty maxims speaking; we like the young and strong!

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

Rt archer, the blacksmith on Haiti

Mocn. Bill Dan'el s goats ate up riuprer's turnips. Huper said: '"It's a mighty cheap man that keeps a flock of goats in a world where real men keep cattle." Bill Da-n'el replied: "It's a cheap man that doesn't build a real fence around his turnips." Both men were "tol'able het up" by these digs, but they were too civilized to fight. So H upper smashed Bill Dan'el's fish trap in Red river, and pretended it was a joke. Bill Dan'el took the taps off ITuppev's wagon and when Hupper started down the mountain the wheels crime ofr, the wagon turned over and Hupper got a broken leg. Hupper got hold of the piece of gas pipe that Bill Dan'el used in poking up his forgo fire. Hupper filled it with dynamite, and when Bill poked the fire, his whole blacksmith shop went up tire flue. They had both got enough of this indirect warfare. "Where we made cur mistake," they said, as they pitched up a truce, "was in being too civilized to fight. In a way we would have only lost our dignity. This way we lost a leg and a blacksmith fhon." And so it is with England and Ireland. If they hadn't been too civilized to fight they wouldn't have committed all these atrocities on each other.

A moving picture actor relates an amtwing incident that happened during the filming of Rostand's "Chanticleer." This was done out of doors, and one day while the actor was taking a stroll he came across a man seated by the roadside with his face buried in his hands, evidently in deep distress. Sympathetically he stopped and inquired what the trouble was. "I'll tell you," said the man; "I'm one of the patients at the sanitarium for bugs over yonder.

There the British sovereign causes no surprise at all when change is given and both the sovereign and the half-sovereign are passed frequently from hand to hand until the banks get hold or them.
