Whether much of an effort will be made in behalf of the bill Is doubtful for tho reason that it was handed down by the 117 legislature as a compromise between those flghtlnr sectarian homes for dependent children and those who- favored them. The measure Is listed in the session laws as chapter 421. The bill proposes an Institution to be known as the Home for State Wards, to be located within the city of Portland or not more than five miles, from Us boundaries. Appar ently,the measure was drawn with out a great deal of thought behind It for the appropriation provided Is only $200.000.-. It is said that this amount would not buy the necessary property. Also the bill, were it to pass, would doubtless require much tndy and Interpretation to ascertain its meaninr. The title reads: "To establish, purchase a site for and construct the necessary build Ing. buildings or other structures for a home for dependent, delinquent and defective children, to be known as the Home for State Wards: giving certain powers to the state board of control with reference thereto: mak ing an approprlaiton therefor and submitting the act to the legal vot ers of the state for their approval or rejection." No definition Js given covering the terms "dependent, delinquent and defective."' and should the bill pass one of the problems to be solved would be what disposition to make of the state institution for the deaf, blind, feeble-minded, the girls industrial school and the state train ing school for boys, since the In mates of any of these places may t classed as dependent, delinquent or defective. One of those opposing the bill to be voted on In November Is Mrs Emma Haley Fraselle of Portland who was here yesterday making in auiry relative to. the cost of main tainlng the present Institutions. Mrs Frazelle took much Interest In tne question at the last session. Though opposed' to chapter 421, she favors state care for cnlidren coming un der the Aree classifications. One of the objections urged against the measure is that It would mingle the state's wards irrespective of moral character.. COMFORTS MADE FOR SOLDIERS Moving Picture World.

Boston, during the first three months of the committee's work. Among the goods "forwarded were 16, 000 knitted articles ana comiori kits. 5500 articles of new clothing for French. Italian.

One American ship has been sop- nlied with enough knitted goods. totallne 3500 pieces, to equip ail tne sailors on board. A large number of the knitted garments and other comforts have been turned over to the different war relief associations in Boston, which are in direct com munication with the people of their respective countries, notably the British. French, Italian and Belgian associations. Some of the recruits from Boston tor the British and Ca nadian forces were supplied witn knitted articles before they Jeft home. A feature of the Comforts For warding committee's work which has brought splendid results Is the "unit system" of preparing new gar ments for refugee children. Ten of the committee were first Instructed in the making of a model garment, each of the ten instructed ten others and the latter became captains of teams of ten others whom they In tUrn Instructed. Two groups , of team captains meet at the commit tee's rooms every day to receive in structions and material fo use by themselves and the members of their respective teams, who work at leis ure moments at home.
