THREE BIG PROBLEMS
Poverty Sickness and De-
linquency Must Be
Solved He Says.
Social prvblema in the American de*
mocrary were diacßoaed by Dr. Edward
T. Devine noted mN’iologist of New
York as the feature of the opening ses-
sion of the Texas Conference of Social
Welfare Saturday morning in the ball-
n»om of th< St. Anthony h<>Pi. N
150 people registered for the opening
session and 350 are expected by. Mon-
day. Elin* । flMtt BMM gfMMMBt ft

tenth annual m*«
Introducing Mrs. Maggie Barry
chairman of the aoetioß "t HUII wel-
fare for the conference and Mn».
W. C. Martin of ballas chairman of
the rural life committee for the state
federation. Ml Ifßlt turn'd the meet-
ing 'over to the joint chairman.
Dr. be vine was the principal speak-
er of the morning holding his audience
•in closest attention as he discussed
what be termed tbi perßMMNat prob
lcm« of all social experience.
I’rohlrm of th. World.
"They are problems of thr country
as well a*- tbft city. Tbff are the prob-
lems of tbt world. in which the farmer
and tbt WttU OtfMf man are equally
interested. th</ problems of |>overty
aickuess and delinquency. I know that
it aeems sometime* that thr city ha* all
the crime in the world merely because
the criminal is brought to trial in the
city. But the three are the problems of
city and country alike.
"Relief whet nr r it be public institu-
tions or private charity is no relief for
]s>verty at all" Dr. beviue declared.
• The only way to cure poverty is thor-
ough education by developing in the
school the home and the community a
kiad of pooplo abb’ to oara a living
efficient as workers and self-respecting
a* citizens.
"This vuucation begins before birth
and continues through life. This cry of
•save the che-ild’ and save it by sep-
arating it from the family is a fallacy.
You cannot develop a lasting sense of
decency law-abidance cleanliness and
the other virtues of right living unless
those qualities are respected by the
family. A community program is the
only thing to be thought of in this plan
of education —or any plan of education
lor that matter.
"The school becomes the center of
public communication and affects the
public opinion.
Ed oration Stops Dixease.
"Alms I repeat are no cure for pov-
erty.
"The same thing holds true of dis-
ease. Drugs nrr no cure. 1 sin not
preaching Christian Science or New
Thought or any ism. But 1 am telling
you the orthodox beiieis of the medical
profession. Until the principles of jw-r
sonal and aucia! hygiene are thorough-
ly taught and acted on there can be nu
lasting health. The only way to keep
down disease is to develop healtu
Labits. If you have a bad habit you
have to fill its place with a good habit
before the old one is choked out.
"Apparently the la>t art humanity
learns is the care of its own machinery.
Intemperance is not a matter of the sa-
loon. It's a matter of eating too and
of dressing.
"A ductor is a success or failure only-
in the measure he teaches health and
health habit." he asserted solemnly.
"And going on to the third problem
the same thoughts hold true for delin-
quency—ami let me remind you that
the rural population is as delinquent as
the urban no this is a problem for the
country as well as the city—that it
must come through education. The po-
lice and jail* are no cure. We have to
have them just as we have to have
raedlcinr nml hospital*.
Applies to Delinquency.
“But the development of a law abid-
ing Spirit habits of respect for the per-
son and property of others are the cures
for delinquency.
"Every institution society creates is
an educational institution or it is a
failure. Now. before the war mood en-
tirely passes consider a few statistics
and let them burn into your conscious
news. Oh. I know you have heard them

Advoeates Health Program.

"We must have an appreciation ou

the Greeks uid *a suuiiu mind aud a

"The American ideal ot health should
be as much above these as tuc entire
American ideal is above tueirs."
Going ou to the social problems of
America Dr. Devine analysed the dil-
lerence of attitude iu England in the
initio countries aud in America uu so-
cial work.
Kaise Standard of Living.
"The 'poor law’ of England over-
shadows all others" he said "The
chief legislative the principal financial
consideration ia the provision for the
poor. In the Latin countries the
church is the dominating idea in the
dispensing of relief to poverty. A sur-
vival of the middle ages it is taken as
a means for developing character for
the soul’h sake. Hut m America the
ideal test is 'What difference does it
make to the one aided?’ If you raise
tbeir standard of living and make them
happier then it ia worthy. It is not
obsessed by the state as in Germany
hor by the church as in the Latin coun-
tries.
. "Social welfare here consists mainlv
m raising the standard of living. It is
a matter of housing iu this country of
industrial relations of child welfare.
Social work here has not been largely
the alleviation of destitution but the
protection of the standard of living"
Declaring against child labor. Dr.
Devine insisted no permanent prospect
could be built on it. aud put himself on
record as favoring the abolishment of
"poverty permits." Before closing he
touched on the nnuaturnlixcd alien and
the "unsatisfactory number" in this
country and on prison reform.

Close of Tumultuous Road
History Is Now in
Sight.
Denver. Colo. Nov. 20.—Representa-
tives of the Western Pacific railroad
bought the properties of the Denver A
Rio Grande railroad at foreclosure sale
here today. The sale price was $5000-
000 cash.
The purchaser* also agreed to assume
11.1 obligations of the Rio
Grande.
The amount for which the road was
sold was thr minimum amount art by
the United State* district court in its
order for the sale.
The foreclosure sale order was the
result of action brought by the Equit-
able Trust Cl mpany <»f New York in
behalf of the bondholders.
Sale of thr Drover & Rio Grande
Railroad to the highest bidder by order
of the United States circuit couit of
appeal* marks the elosv of a tumult-
uous chapter in the history of the road
founded by Gen. William J. Palmer in
1371.
Paid Millions in Wages.
Millions of dollars a year in wages
were paid annually in the prosjierous
period of the road’s history and other
millions were used in numerous effort*
of various financial inteiests to gain
<<mtrol of the railroad. KVom the time
the Juy Gould interests cauaed the re-
tirement of General Palmer from the
road in IKn3 it was the object of finan-
cia! campaign* of rival interests until
the receivership caused by default of the
road in pa\iii«’ut <>f Wcctcra Pacific
Railroad bonds in IDIK. bond payments
having been guaranteed by the Denver
A Rio Grande.
The bond sale iasuc was for $50-
000000 and when the Equitable Trust
Cotapaay ot New York brought suit
and obtained judgment in 1913. this had
' Iu- <<l to a little more than $36.-
000000 —the amount of the judgment.
Ob Jaaaary 20. of that rear Mward
L. Brown president of the road and
Alexander R. Baldwin vice president of
the Western Pacific were named re-
by Judge Walter L. Sanborn
of the Uaitcd st:H > eircait coaK at ap-
peals. A month later Brown was named
de receiver la coMply with regalafiaac
of the United Staten Railroad Admin-
istration during the x^r. Hr- wai dele-
gated agent of the fuministration.
Sale Set for Saturday.
Hearings were held before a Unitetl
States master in chancery ami on Sep-
tember 25 1920 nn order was signed
by Judge Sanborn for the sale of the
road over the protest of a stockholders'
committee who asked postponement for
a MBth. Tbc road was advertiaed f ।
sale for 30 days and November 20 set
aa tba data at aate.
The road was built originally as part
of Palmer's dream of a line running
from Denver to El Paso. Development
of the mining enterprise in thr west-
ern part of the state resulted in a
change in the direction of the road's
development and extension of branch
lines westward into the mining com-
munities became a part of the runtest
between the road and the Union Pa-
cific for control of the Rocky Moun-
tain territory tbe latter road already
having nn advantage in the Northern
Rocky Mountain region.
Among thr prominent railroad mrn
connected with the road in vaiious ca-
pacities were George Gould Benjamin
F. Buth and 11. I’. Mudge.
CAR THIEVES ACTIVE
Nearly a Score of Automobiles Stolen
During UM Three Weeks.
Unusual activity on the part of au-
tomobile thieves has developed in San
Antonio recently records nn file at po-
lice headquarters reveal. Nearly a
score of automobiles have been atolen
during the last three weeks the num-
♦<‘r being far above the average. That
the cars arr not being taken by person*
for "joy rides" is indicated by the fact
nine are still missing.
Three thefts nf cars were reported
Friday night. Automobiles owned by

Saturday afternoon. All the cars were
taken while parked on the downtown

While detectives and police hare re-
