357 Children Accepted by Home From 1391 Applications
Admission for 1391 children into the Presbyterian Children's Home has been sought since its establishment seven years ago. Of this number 357 have been admitted. Others were rejected because they had relatives able to care for them. Fifty one were babies born out of wedlock and all have been placed in good families. Health record good. Temporary care has been furnished to many children whose homes were broken by death poverty or divorce. The $15 a month charged for this care is considerably less than cost. Not one death has occurred in the seven years.

France voluntarily reduced plantings to honor sugar and wheat pledges, risking a deficit and possible 1,000,000 tons of grain imports. Beet crops show a 10 percent reduction, with 800,000 tons of sugar production forecast for 1931 if normal harvests occur.

Saturday Mail Delivery Cut
Postmaster W. C. Kenyon announces a 44 hour week for post office workers will alter Saturday schedules. No deliveries in residential areas Saturday afternoons, and carriers will make two business district trips. Mail service should not slow despite the change, and all routes will wait for early trains before starting. He believes the cost will not rise.
