Keeping Family Together
Held Most Necessary By
Volunteers Of America
"Tho children should be con
sulted first. They wpren't when
they were brought here. They
certainly should be now," I.t.-Col.
Jessie F. Starks, commander of
tho Oregon Battalion of the Vol
unteers of America, In this city
to organize a local post, stated
this morning when interviewed re
garding the problems, which con
front social welfare workers with
the Increased popularity of di
vorce. "The most necessary thing
today Is to keep the family to
gether," Colonel Starks added,
"and we are doing all that we
cun to accomplish this end." i
"It Is positively pathetic the
wny children feel nbout the brok
en home. 'What are they going
to do with us now?' they fre
quently ask In discournged tones
when brought to the attention of
social workers."
To lllustrato hor point Colonel
Slurks told of a specific Instance,
where the father "Just disappear
ed" and the mother In an effort
to "be gay" found no time for her
three sons. The Volunteers of
America lnvcs;;gn:ed the case. As
the three boys, huddled together
j In the seat of an auto were being
brought to the city, the following
conversation was overheurd: "What
are- they going - tu do with us
nowT" the youngest asked. "We'll
stick together whatever It is," tho
oldest replied, "everything will be
all right." Tho mlddlo sized boy
then added In a weak voice. "I
hopo they take us to the old sold
ier's homo."
Tho desire of the three boys to
stand together, and their lovo for
their Inefficient and Indifferent
mothor, was realized by the Vol
unteers, who now have tho fam
ily together living In the home
for deserted mothers and children
In Portland. -
"The mother hns learned to
care for her children, after be
ing around them nnd going
through the clinic and attaining
bettor health," Colonel Starks ex
plained. "No one can fondle a
baby without luvlng It nnd thcroln
ILcH'the solution to many present
day social problems."
In tho list of 16 mothers now
living In tho homo, Colunel Starks
states she has everything from col
lege graduates to Illiterates.

regarded Cannon as "In plain con
tempt of the senate,."
Walsh said In his opinion, Can
non's refusal to answer opened
tho way to one possible contempt
proceeding, while the withdrawal
today constituted u second basis
for a contempt charge.
Although Cannon had appeared
voluntarily, Walsh held that onco
having placed himself under com

The Mont una n added there
might be doubt as to the commit
tee's authority to Inquire Into Can
non's political activities, but thero
was no doubt tho withdrawal to
day amounted to contempt.
Cannon has contended the com
mltteo was without authority to
Investigate his itctlvltles In. opposi
tion to the presidential candidacy
of Smith two years uro. He as
serted that what he did was done
as an Individual. He would still
refuse to discuss It, he said. If he
were summoned before the com
mittee under subpoena.
The bishop was accused by Hep

IC. C. Jameson told the commit

The Volunteers will care for her

A mother of throe chldren,
whoso husband is In tho state pen
itentiary serving a life sentence
for murder, was another Interest
ing case to which Colonel Starks
refined. Tho mother was earning
M a week and endeavoring to
support tho children while rapid

brought hor Into the home. She
had started to let tho children out
for uiioption and Is now living
with them nnd hoping for the res

take her with tho children to visit

only one who flee tho nest, Col
onel Starks told of two husbands
whose wives have deserted them.
Knelt day they bring their chil

main while they are at work and
return fur them in the evening.
"We frequently remarry people
too at the homo." Colonel Starks
added. "Wo'll do anything to hold
a family together. Wo remarried
three couples during the past yenr.
Often they have separated over

That it is Bu.nl financial policy
for any person who brews beer for
his home iiHe, to not give any of
it away to alake a relative's thirst,
is shown by the fact that this week
J. M. McNabb of the Talent dis
trict and It. 10. Uimm, his brothor-In-law,
of the Metlford vicinity, each
was fined $50 and costs in Judge
Taylor's court here, lor not only
disregarding the prohibition law,
uut ulso this policy.
It is understood that McNabb
prepared a tasty mess of home
brew for his own use, but had
compassion on Lamm, lils brother-in-law,
and gave him a few bottles
of the concoction. In turn, the
good-nutured Mr. Iamm guve some
friends a drink, and soon gossip
caused the authorities to Investi
gate, with Ihe result that both
were arrested on the charge of
possession. The officers aud court
are satisfied that neither sold any
of the beer.
Otto DiiKCher was fined 150 and
costs In Judge Taylor's court today
lor Having a pint bottle of moon
shine in his possession. It seems
that he hud so much more of the
liquor Inside of him that he was
staggering from house to house in
the city, making intended calls for
no reason whatever. This badly
rrighlened women and children,
with the result that the police
were summoned and arrested him.
