eau, supervision of commercialized

nicipal lodging house.
"The Kansas City Board of Public
IWelfare has under its supervision all
activities along recreational and cor
rectional lines. It also conducts a
school for social service, a research
hureau, factory inspection service and a
legal aidbureau.
'Che board of public welfare which

Its functions include health activities,
charitable and correctional duties and
general welfare work.
"In St. Louis the department of
