NEW YORK. May 22.—-The ques-
on of child slavery, intermittcntly
pping into American politics, has
Rain raised its head and set the ex-
. here for the National Con-
,ence on Child Welfare. at work
loaning a new campaign.
' Suddenly. into the calm of a dis-
.oussion on how to provide homes
or every dependent child in Ameri-
. there burst a bombshell sputter-
8 stories of carioads of tagged
children shipped from institutions
New You: and other “eastern
ties to slave long hours iii-Texas
cotton fields and farms and or-
hard: of the northwest.
The hundreds of welfare workers,
ho hum been held spellbound dur-
g‘ their sessions here by the sen-
itlonal investigation of a “'baby
form" run by Mrs. Helen Auguste
eison-Voik, gasped at the more
hurtling stories told them of con-
tionl in the south and west.
"‘Carloads of hundreds of children
{about six years old are brought to
Texas from New York and other
”stern institutions several times a
spear." said Mrs. Bennett Smith of
noble, Texas. "They are taken
Ind sometimes adopted by planters
nd farmers and made to plant and
ick the hours of their youth away
instead of being educated.
' “It amounts to slatery. The
homes to which they go are not
therefuily'sel‘ectcd. There is no sup-
brvtslon of the children after they
have entered these homes and are
[legally adopted, Schooling is stop-
bed. The children are overworked
Hid often develop into juvenile de-
linqucnts. And when the children
grow up, they frequently are turned
ut into the world "
That similar conditions exist in
northwestern states was maintained
by Mrs. B. F. Westmore of Spo-
kane. Wash.
1 "It is nothing short of criminal
, to adopt children to make slaves of
Ithem,” says Mrs. Carina C. War~
Iington. lawyer and state probation
officer of Indiana. “And it is
criminal for institutions to send
their children in lots to any state
or town for adoption. f'A home
should be provided and its owners
well' investigated before any. child
”leaves the place where it has stayed.
“We must and will conduct a
drive to prevent such things hap-~
pening. And we’ll start it right
away. I know of hundreds who
lwill help in their own states in a
' national campaign to pass laws pre-
venting the transportation of child-
rep from one state ‘to another in
the hepe of finding them homes.
1. and their adoption by any people
Whose records and good characters
are not well known."
Already the aid of Judge Samuel
‘DoLevy of the New York Children‘s
‘ Court. who is vice president of the
Hebrew Sheltering Guardian So-
0 Qty has been enlisted.
‘ “If New York institutions are
shipping children west wholesale
under the conditions described." he
' says. “New York will take action as
soon as it can to see that it is stop-

“Invisible Assets of a Successful
BpsIness" was the subject of .sn in-
teresting and educational talk giv-
en at the Norwalk Kiwanis C111"
yesterday at its luncheon in the,
Royal James Inn by Frnnk Good-
child. genetai manager of J. & J-
Cnsh .lnc.
Mr. Goodchild spoke as follows:
"When at. the end of your flscni
year, your auditor presents to you
your balance sheet .the first thins
you look for is to see whether you
show a profit or a loss. If a profit
you then look over your liabilities
to see how for you can increase
your profits on the next yea: 'e busi-
ness. wit it shows a loss. then you
look over your assets to see how
you can reduce the loss and turn it
into "profits." Whether it is profit
or whether it is loss. there are cer-
tain assets which your auditor fails
to write in the balance sheet. An
accountant is only immediately con-
cerned with figures. and it is his
skill and business to eke 2 and 2
read 2?. or 4. to wh ever is the
best advantage. But, if you were
to closely examine the balance sheet
of a successful business concern.
you will find four assets written
into those masses of figures with in-
visible ink. They are there. but
not written by the accoun.iant.,but
by the managerial policy. r Let us
put on the magnifying glasses for
the moment and see what we can
discover.
“First Asset: Friendship. No
business can be cariled on to a
successful conclusion unless it malges
an asset of Friendship. The man
who says there is no such thing as
friendship in the commercial world
is either a bankrupt or on the road
to bankruptcy. You must treat
your customers as friends; your or-
ders must be taken in the 1:11th of
‘frlendshlp.’ I do not want to do
business with any man unless I can
think of him and treat him as a
friend. r.
Second Asset is a. twin sister of
the first. for you cannot have the
one without the other. It is Ser-
vice. You cannot make a friend un-
less you tlrst render some kind of a
service to him.
“This is proven by the fact that if
you will check over your list of ac.
uuaintances. how many of them can
you really designate as ‘friendsfi and
those that you d0. what enhances
their value to you? Home little serv~
ice. an act of kindness. rendered by
one or the other of you. Check up
this club standing’ in the commu-
nity. It has a host of friends. more
so than any other club Why? Be-
cause Kiwanis has not lived a selfish
life unto itself—but, on the other
hand. has given of its best to the
city's needs. therefore having ren-
dered ‘servics to the community. it
naturally makes friends of the clit-

that exuberance of spirit which
means doing a lot of shouting and
blowing tin' horns but that enthusi- .
usm which makes a' man live his
lit-art and soul to the undertaking—-
who throws his wholeenergy into
his work to bring it to a successful

to consider our . fourth as-

optimist. you will find. is I dreamer
of dreams: the pessimist has night-
mares only. The optimist must be
more than a dreamer—he must be
ableto interpret his dreams. One
of the greatest optimists we read of
in the Bible was Joseph. and when
his jealous (they always are) pessi-
mistic brothers throw him into the
pit. what did Joseph do? Do you
think it was by chance that the trav-
elers found him? Rather not. Jo-
seph did his bit. you may rest assur.
ed. in attracting attention to his
plight. hence his rescue. You will
also note in the story of Joseph that
besides being a dreamer. he made a
study of interpreting dreams. . The
successful business man must have
