GHILDREN'S LIVES Madrid, ‘via Paris, Jan. 7, 11:35 P. m.—Public indignation kas been aroused through the publication of a telegram received by the members of the Cartagena company confirming the report that the San Leandero was torpedoed by a German submarine. Its agency. believes the loss of the SHAPED BY MOTHER Rev. Dr. E. B. Cross Tells Congre- . gation of Prodigal Father steamer was acidental and the cargo being of fruit, it was considered, un- likely that she would be torpedoed. The crew of the ship has arrived at Hendaye, France, where they made statements before the Spanish consul, in which they said that they were twenty-four hours in an open Loat be- fore reaching the French coast. The navigation company has sent telegrams to Premier Romanes and the minister of foreign commerce pro- testing against the sinking and has suspended.the sailing of another of its ships, the San Isadore, which is now loading fruit at Malaga. The situation at the Canaries is de- scribed as grave by latest despatches from the Islands. . Only 233 ships called at Las Palmas in the month of December, as against an average of | 700 for that month in normsl times. Of the 233 only one was English and there were no French or Italian, a fact attributed to the presence of submarines in the vicinity of the port. Commenting on these conditions in the vicinity, the Epoca remarks that Spain, without participating in the war, suffers consequences, as far as ‘the Canaries are concerned, almost to the same extent as a belligerent na- ORK IN NEW ROLE. Port Does More Business Than Any Harbor in History. New York, Jan. 8.—Of every $100,- 000 worth of foreign trade in the United States in 1916, $52 was tran- - sacted in New York, according to fAigures made public today by the col- lector of the customs showing that the foreign trade of this port during the past calendar year was valued at $4,069,000,000. No other harbor in the world ever transacted trade to such an extent in a single year, it was stated. The total averages about 840 a head in the country’s popula- tion. Customs duties collected here last year amounted to $153,211,989, rimost half a million doliars for each business day. March was the record month with $14,948,476. Rheumatism, Lame Back, —An‘ Local ain, Insist on or | A resurgent wave af the enthusiasm generated by the seventeenth annual Older Boys’ Conference which met in New Britain last December broke out at the evening congregation at the First Baptist church last night. The audience was frequently in laughter and was stirred towards tears as well by the bdys who spoke and by the pa- thetic story of the ‘“Prodigal Father"” which was read by Dr. Cross in con- cluding the service. The speakers were J. Dexter Walcott, Roger W. "Truslow, Harold W. Geschimsky, H. Charles Fuller, Francis M. Davis and Arvid N. Larson. The stary of the “Prodigal Father” follows: The Prodigal Father. “A certain man had two sons, and the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of thy time, and thy attention, and thy cam- panionship, and thy counsel and guidance which falleth to me.” And Lo divided unto them his living in that he paid the boys’ bills, and sent them to a select preparatory school, and to dancing school and to college, and tried to believe that he was doing his full duty by the bays. “And not many days after the father gathered all his interests and aspira- tions and ambitions and took his jour- ney into a far country, into a land of stocks and bonds and securities and other things that do not interest a boy, and there he wasted his preciaus op- portunities of being a chum to his own son. And when he had spent the very best of his life and had galned money, but failed to find satisfaction, there arose a mighty famine in his heart, and he began to be in want of sym- pathy and real companionship. And he went and joined himself to cne of the clubs of that country, and they elected him chairman of the house committee and president of the club and then sent him to the legislature. And he would fain have satisfled him- self with the husks that other men did eat and no man gave unto him any real friendship. | “But when he came to himself he said: ‘How many men of my acquaint- ance have bays whom they under- | stand and who understand them, who talk about their boys and associate ' | For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Rignature of CASTORIA | sinned agalnst Heaven and in thy sight. I have not done my duty by yau, and I am not worthy to be called thy father. Forgive me now and let me be your chum.’ “But the son said@: ‘Not so. I wish it Were possible, but it is too late. There was a time when I wanted to know things, when I wanted com- panionship and advice and counsel, but you were toa busy. I got the in- formation, and I got the companion- ship, but I got the wrong kind, and now, alas! T am wrecked'in soul and body, and there is nothing you can do for me. It is tao late, too late, too late.” Mother’s Influence Greatest. In concluding his remarks, Dr. Cross expounded somewhat upon the modern parable he had just read. He expressed wonder at the undeniable fact that the mother always exercises the most influence over a son. He said that in countless instances he had heard of some man wha, through some coincidence was made to turn from the crooked path, gave the credit for his reformation to some thing that his mother had said in the days of his vouth, He declared that in the ma- jority of cases where a man makes a success of himself in life, in looking back over the yvears he always says that it was due to ideals presented to hi youthful mind by his mother that ped his carcer. Thus, it Is almost invariably shown that the mother’s influence is the greatest, sald the minister, and he expressed regret that the father's influence is not more pro- nounced. “Something is radically wrong and | it should be righted,” he finished. ORGANIZING BIG ORCHE$TRA, United Parents’ and Teachers’ Socicty Takes Lead in Important Move. An attempt is being made under the auspices of the United Parents and Teachers’ association to organ- ize a large orchestra in this city not unlike the Philharmonic orchestra in Hartford. Joseph Clair Beebe, or- ganist at the South church, has been chosen leader of this new orchestra and 1s soliciting the services of mu- siclans. He resides at 140 Maple street. W. C. French, G. B. Mat- thews and Herman Zahnlciter, Gram- | mar school principal, musical direc- tor in the schools and leader of the Lyceum orchestra respectively, have interested themselves in the project and are doing all in their power to further it. According to present plans, 1t s hoped to secure an orchestra of forty pleces, including the best musical talent from the schools, churches, so- cletles and musical organizations. Dr. T. Eben Reeks, superintendent of health, in his monthly departmen- tal report for December, makes a statement concerning the selling of dirty milk in New Britain and in- cludes a plea for co-operation in a campaign to bring about the desired end. The superintendent leaves no {doubt that he intends to accomplish results and states that he will pro- hibit the sale of dirty milk in the city if it is necessary too put half of the milk dealers out of business. Concerning this important health question Dr. Reeks’ bulletin has the following to say: It has taken considerable time to obtain a survey of New Britain's . milk supply, but now that it is com- pleted we are prepared to devote our energy to securing a clean and whole- some milk for the city. The atti- tude of each member of the board is, that dirty and unwholesome milk shall not be sold in New Britain even though it is necessary to put half our milk dealers out of business in order to stop its sale. This should be sufficient ‘'warning to the milkmen. From now on*a& vigorous campaign will be waged to clean out the un- fitted milk dedlers. As a starter for December— Three flnes of $10 each and cost for selling milk below standard. One fine of $7° without cost selline milk below -standard. One milkman’s license suspended for keeping insanitary dairies. Three milkmen put on probation | for keeing insanitary dairies. Of course, it is our ‘job” to see that the milk sold is pure. But what are you doing to help? Do you care whether the milk you buy is clean or dirty? Do you take any care of the milk after it is left at your door? Do you see that it is kept in a cool place, or do you leave it exgpsed to the for kitchen? Do you thoroughly wipe the top of the bottle before removing cap? Do you ever visit you milk- man’s dairy to see how he “keeps house?” (It is your privilege to do this just as it is to visit your market.) Do you wash the bottle as soon as empty? Do vou know that milk is the most easily contaminated of foods and that it has been the cause of many cases of infectious and taglous diseases? Do you want to help us in our campaign for clean milk? If so, tell vour milkman, no matter who he fis, that you are interested in our efforts. By locking the doors at night, do you :not help the police. protect your home? For your own sake, help us secure for you a good, clean milk by following_ the above suggestions. Chickenpox Epidemic.
