so by joining m all efforts to make motherhood safe for
mini hers
The annual loss of life through improper prenatal and postnatal
care Is a reflection upon our people which should not be permitted to
oxmiinue
It is fine to remember ones mother on Mothers day but how
much more fitting would it be if through our efforts some little child
wi given the life of his or her own mother If adequate care is assured
thousands of American mothers will be alive at the end of 19in
and taking care of their children Without needed attention they will
be dead
STATE POLICE FORCE
STATE POLICE force for Texas is advocated and recommendations
a
for its establishment are embodied in an article on this subject in
the current issue of Texas Municipalities organ of the League of Texas
Municipalities The article is written by Paul E Fidler of the stall
of the University of the Texas Bureau of Municipal Research
Mr Fidler proposed a number of recommendations embodying what
Iif believes are the best principles for the establishment of a department
ot State police as follows
The governor should have the power to choose the department
bead who should be responsible to the governor only The department
should be headed by one man not a commission Specific sualifications
and tenure of office designed to attract only welltrained men for the
position of executive should be set up Residence qualifications for high
ranking department officers and employees should be eliminated Fui
t ronsibility for the organization and operation of the department
within the limits of the principles set by law should rest upon tho ext
t mve liMid The existing law enforcement agencies should be comhin
i into a jincle force to the extent that this is at all possible Mem
1 if the force should have the power to enforce the laws of any
i wihin the department
jhe adminiMiau on of the personnel of the department should be
> in the hands of the department head The law should be genii
it pii ivisions for the training of recruits the probationary per
nio the men to be trained the examinations to be given the size of
tin force and the manner of oiganizing the force The department
Jiiad because of his expert knowledge of these matters should be given
fiee reicn in the solution of his persona problems
The bureau of fish and game should be under the department and
the State fire marshals division should be a part of the department
The section relating to the creation of a bureau of criminal identification
should be expanded In neither of the bills now pptiding In the
Texas legislature are ili provisions adequate to tile creation of an
efficient bureau Jurisdiction over the sale of firearms should be among
tfx unrtints of the bureau

to Joba the Baptist He inaugurated a great movement whkh he might
very easily htm usilied fui hi own use just how gieat It was we
ait imagine from the fact that St Paul coining to Ephestis a full quar
or ol a century after the crucifixion of Jesus found a little group of
men who were still dissiples of John and knew hardly anything about
Jesus We find the same situation existing in faraway Alexandnia and
we Tmow the potency of Johns name from the fact that Jesus used it
In tke last week of His earthly life for His own protection The priests
His hecklers and baiters were silent when He spoke it fearing the iieo
Dlo for all held John as a prophet

John made his camp by the banks of Jordan clothing himself i

Johns suecesb was almost instantaneous Crowds went out from
tho city to attend hU meeting be became a sort of fashionable fad
attracting not only the leaders of the smart set but a sufficient num
loer of thoughtful and important people so that even the Pharisees be
Kan to give respectful attention
One day an Impressive committee went down the long winding
road from Jerusalem to the Jordan and after putting up at the most
reputable tavern In tho vicinity and removing the traces of their travel
they waited on John In solemn array and asked him to declare whether
