One hundred and seventy-two chil- dren traveling alone received heip | from the Travelers' Aid Society at| the Union Station during the month. according to a report made last night A few years ago it was unusual| for a child to travel alone, and under the old system they were labeled | with tags giving full directions con- | them. Under modern methods of | caring for children their problems are greatly simplified, and many of these | little peopls, as well as large num- bers of those who are aged and in- firm, are passed across the continent and receive attention at all the prin- cipal stations through the country- wide organization of the Travelers' Aid Society. The epidemic of runaway children noted by the Travelers' Aid Society during the Summer seems to have subsided, as there were but four cases of this kind during the month. There also were a good many insane or weak-minded persons receiving aid during the fore part of the Summer, and these cases also have largely dis- appeared. An outstanding featurs during the month has consisted of foreigners unable to speak the English lan- guage, and 19 Germans, with none of them able to speak anything except their own tongue, was a problem suc- cessfully met by the Travelers' Aid workers recently. ' Nearly 200 of this class of travelers received aid in va- rious ways during the month. A total of- 297 persons were placed en route, because they were unable to arrange their own methods of travel, during the past month. Many Negroes Backing Davis. Colored voters in great numbers throughout the country have made up their minds to vote for John W. Davis for President, according to re- ports received from members of the National Afro-American Democratic League at a meeting of the organiza- tion at 607 Louisiana avenue. The decision to support the Democratic nominee, the reports said, is based on the action of Mr. Davis in not promising anything to the colored voter but to enforce the Constitution. PLATES Plate DR.

Open Saturdays Dane Beat Columbus to America By 20 Years, By Cable to The Star and New York World COPENHAGEN, September -13.—br. Sophus Larsen, ‘whose - recent lec- tures on pre-Columbus discoveries in America have created a stir in Ku- rope, is about to publish a book deal- ing exhaustively with the subject. Your correspondent is able to give in advance the outlines of this work, which will appear in New York, Lon- don. and CopenhiZen.- Supporting his assertions by quotations and far- simile reproductions from ancient documents, Dr. Larsen denfes Co- lumbus first landed on the coast of America. According to the forthcoming book by Dr. Larsen, the famous IFortu- guese explorer, Prince Henrik, navi- gator, settled at the beginning of the 15th century on the soutn- westérn point of Portugal at Cape Sagres, where he established a town around an excellent harbor, protect. - . New Book Declares ed by mountains, and devoted him- self to maritime and geographical studies, with the object of finding the sea passage to India. Henrlk believed he could mail di- rect to Asia. He died. however, be- fore his plans were realized. After his death Alfons V took up the matter and persuaded King Kris- tlan I of Denmark to undertake an expedition to the Arctic seas in search of & northern passage to Asia. The poverty of Denmark postponed the undertaking, but about 1472 the expedition set forth under the leader- ship of the two Danish admirals, Diderik Pining and Pothorst; two Portuguese, Alvaro Martins Homen and Joao Vaz Cortereale. Johan Scolvue, presumably the cap- tain or mate of the ship, finally landed in Labrador, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence, according to Dr. The discovery, he says, was kept a secret for a long time, but Italian sples in Sagres copied the official report delivered by the two Portuguese and in this way the news reached the great Swedish geologist, Claus Magnus, who lived in ltaly from 1524 until his death. Besides appearing on Magnus' maps, the discovery Is sald also to be shown by an inscription on a globe of 1537, found in Germany in modern times, which places Johan Scolvus’ name on the coast of North America. Cotemporary Portuguese maps show bays and territories named after the two Portuguese. Finally, (Dr. Larsen says, a docu- ment was found In England by Lr. Fridtjof Nansen, dated 1575, which mentions that “John Ccolus, & pilot from Denmark,” had been at the St Lawrence River, and It is believed vertain that he discovered Nortn America 20 years before Columbus. e In appreciation of her 20 years' service as a policewoman in Los An- geles, Loretta McPeek was presented with a gold medal upon her retire- ment from the force.

Peri- odically she makes a personal in- spection of her wardrobs in order to decide what clothes shall be reserved for wear on subsequent occasions and what shall be disposed of as no longer required.
