'However, the "uppers" are of leather and are nailed to the wooden soles. The soles are protected by a light iron rim like a miniature 'horseshoe. 'T'hese shoes are excellent for clog dancing.

REPORT OF MOTHERS' ALLOWANCE BOARD The Harron Cotnity :Mothers' Al- lowance Board met at OIinton on the 1151th ain't, and the meeting was attend- ed lay Chief Inspector 13, Bentley of the Depatit'ment at Toronto; The !Department Steads have been .visiting the several local hoards for Consultation regarding, the work of each county or city organization.. Mr. i]tentley gave valuable information "with reference to th•e work in t'he'Pro- vim'ce, and'commended very highly the splend'i'd' work done lay the local boards, 'which had been 'largely re- sponsible for placing the mothers' al- lowance system of giving carol to needy mothers practically beyond criticisms. With reference to investigators em- ployed, it was noted that ladies were better fitted for tlfis work, as much :of their nutty was to advise mothers, not alone on the necessity of economy and in met -hods of business, but in the pro- per treatment of the children en- trusted to their care, who are virtual- ly, under the Act, wards of the Pro- vince. - More recently, especially' since the depression has made its inroads oe the financial arrangemetns of people, nsurh has been heard regarding a de- mand that the qualification of a mother to receive the allowance be re- duced from two children to one. This, however, wouldinvolvesuch a large increase in the' expenditure that it would needs be made up by decreas- ing the number of allowance of ethers mtielt more in need of as<i;mance. In the majority of cases one child is not a great detriment to mothers receiv- -iug employment, our a great bur,len t.. maintain, besides, the mother of one child is a young wr•man able 1' w. 'k and capable, in the majority of cases, of obtaining• employment, while in the care of larger families the mo- thers are not eligible for employment and their earning capacity is ;;one. Loss Sustained. 131tring'the year the local b,iard sustained a very great loss in the death of the late Mrs. W. A. McKim of 'Goderich, whose services were greatly in demand and much appreci- ated, where advice .was necessary and adjustments to be recommended. In recognition of Mr., \fc1im's valu- able services the board passed the following resolution: Moved by Col. R. S. Hays, seconded by Mis, (Dr.) 'Fowler, and resolved, "That we, the members of the Mothers' Allowance Board of the county •of Huron, wish to place ort record our deep sense of the loss we have sustained in the death of Mrs. W. A. licRim of'Gode- rich, a valued member of this Board. .Mfrs. MciKint was a woman of splen- did Christian character and energetic in all social work of her ' town and church. Active, firm, and sympathetic, she did much to lighten the burdens of those in distress, particularly those receiving aid under the Mothers' Al- lowance Act," tors. H.
