S. TIME SIGNALS Special Arrangement of Last Sum- mer of Real Advantage, Dominion Authorities Say in Letter. Aid_given Canadian authorities by the United States Naval Observatory in this city by sending out special time_signals brought the thanks of the director of the topographical mur- vey of Canada to the superintendent of the observatory, it was announced today. “May I take this opportunity of ex- pressing to you my very great appre- ciation of your kindness in arranging to have special time signals broad- cast for us, from 2:55 a.m. to 3 a.m. during last Summer,” wrote the Ca- nadian director. “Twonty-seven positions were occu- pled for latitude and longitude obser- vations in various parts of the West, extending from north of Lake of the Woods to as far away as the northern At 25 of these, determinations longitude were made satfsfactorily. As stations occupied were for the most part in isolated localities, where transporta- tion was very difficult, the {instru. mental equipment had fo be reduced to a minimum, and had it not been for vour country in broadcasting this spe- cial time signal, I have no hesitation in saying that it would not have been possible to have obtained satisfactory longitude determinations. You will understand, therefore, how very much we appreciate your cour- tesy in this connection. THINK BURGLAR INSANE.

CHICAGO, January 9.—Childish prattle again will be heard on the spot whera “Little Boy Blue” was wont to toot his horn. when a skyscraper apartment hotel {s bullt on the site of the home of the late Eugene Fleld, the children’s poet. In the spacious first floor of the $1.600,000 structure & great playroom will be provided. His. widow had planned that the home, where the poet wrote many of his famous works, should be preserved as a memorial to him. She had maintained his room, with his chair, desk, his jacket and most of the other mementoes of the poet exactly as he had left it. School children gave their pennles to the project, but it never was fulfilled. When Mrs. Field, who had moved to Tomahawk, Wis., learned that the memorial plans must be given up and te that the growth of the city had made impracticable the maintenance of the old home, she decided to sell. But she expressed the hope that “‘through the frony of fate,” whatever type of build- ing should supplant her former home, it would not be one which would ex- clude children. So again childrén may hear of “The Bugar Plum Tree” as Field wrote: “Have you ever heard of the Sugar Plum Tree? 'Tis & marvel of great renown! It blooms on the shore of the Lollipop sea, In the Garden of Shut-eye Town. Field loved children, toys and dolls, of which he had many models about the chimney plece of his writing room, a reproduction of which will be In- stalled in the Chicago Historical So- clety. He was the father of elght children. WELFARE REPORT WORK COWPLETED Regulation of Child Caring and Placing Agencies Urged by Commmsion. Regulation of child caring and child placing agencles, unification of the work of social agencies generally and improved Juvenile Court laws and a mothers' pension bill were recom- mended n the final section of the re- port of the Commission on Public Welfare Legislation submitted today to the District Qommissioners. The report pointed out that the evils of baby farming and the exploi- tation of dependent children would virtually be eliminated by the pro- posed regulation of child-caring agencies. “In the District of Columbla, as in other communities,” declared the re- port, “there are persons who engage in the business of caring for children upon a purely commercial basis, and whose interests are profita and not the welfare of the child. There ought to be o wav of preventing such exploiting of children, and one way in which it can be accomplished fs by requiring all persons and agencies, whether they carry on child caring for profit or as a philanthropy, to secure a pub. lic license and be subject to visitation by public agench Would Extend System. As a further nation of commercial baby farming the commission advocated the re- quiring of a license by persons or in- stitutions, other than regularly fcensed hospitals, receiving women for confinement care.

The report emphasizes that seven ates already h assed laws simi- to the bili proposed for the Dis- the trict requiring the licensing of child- | caring ity hos- pitals, and that nine additional States have legislation along similar lines. Years of Work Finished. With the submission of its report to the Commissioners, the Welfare Legis- lation Commission completes the stud of the community problems of the Dis- trict, extending over a period of se eral ‘vears and directed by 17 repre- sentative citizens, with the assistance of a number of the Nation’s most emi- nent students of child-welfare prob- lems, including as consultant to the commission, Willlam Hodson, formerly director of the department of social legislation of the Russell Sage Foun datlon in New York City.

PRIDE IN 12 CHILDREN OF JACOB IS ADVOCATED Dr. Abram Simon Speaks on Race Founders at Hebrew Con- gregation. Dr. Abram Slmon, speaking before the Washington Hebrew Congregation last night, praised the achievements of the 12 children of Jacob, and urged his hearers to be loyal to their mem- ory. “The first familles of our race,” he sald, “are not those who trace their ancestry back a few hundred years, but rather those who are descended from the original members of the Jew- ish race—namely the 12 children of Jacob.” These children, who went down into Egypt, are the real founders and the background of the entire Jew- ish race, he said. “We should look with loyalty and pride on these ancestors of ours. Al though their names seem of little im- portance as we read them, there was a force behind their accomplishmen that has sent its effect through the ages, and its force is felt in our lives today FILM SETS RECORD.
