HELP THE CHILDREN FIGHT THE FLIES More Screens Wamed at Homes for Boys and Girls “Get your screen” is the bed-time slogan at the Children’s Home houses nowadays. When bed-time comed the odd procession starts. Each young- Ster takes a screen from downstalrs, and trudges aloft to fit it into place in one of his bed room windows. The reason for this nightly stunt is that there are not enough screens for all the windows. Daytimes the screens are supposcd to keep out the flies on the first floor, and nights to shut out mosquitoes from the sleeping rooms. But'the scheme does not work because the flies and mosquitoes get there first. The children point to the flies and dis- play thefr mosquito bites ruefully. They say they need some more screens badly. Every child has some duty at Children’s Home. Some of the boys have formed a messenger service squad, doing errands daily for the matrons of the five different houses. They are also on call at any time to assist Mr. Klingberg at the office. To teach them the value of money the boys of the milking squad are be- ing paid a small sum weekly. The gar- dening squad also work under this system, and make a careful account- ing of the dimes and quarters they earn. But “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” in their esti- mation, and so, after taking inventory of the funds in their bank, they decid- ed to spend a little money on a trol- ley trip to the seashore. Groups of _the larger boys from two houses, es- corted by the house matrons, having made trips during the week to Savin Rock and to Cosey Beach. Both par- tles took picnic lunches and had a find salt water swim. As a result of the outing the boys can hoe potatoes twice as fast, they say. Thursday evening all the girls at the Hart Street house carried their sup- per up to Walnt Hill Park for a pic- nic meal, to celebrate the birthday of one of their number. A friend of the Children’s Home has donated a thrifty garden for the use of one of the girl’'s houses. All vegetables from this plot are to be gathered and used by the girls at the Hart Street house. Reverend John Birsenik of the Let- tish Church in Boston was an inter- ested visitor at the Children’s Home this week. His parish is composed of Lettish and Estonian Protestants from the provinces near the Baltic. ‘TEDDY’ DENOUNCED; GOMPERS- UPHELD Central Federated Union Acts on Dispute Over Riots the Both Theodore Roosevelt and Sam- uel Gompers were criticised last night at a meeting of the¢Central Federated Union. After a hot discussion the delegates passed a resolution attack- ing the Colonel and upholding the labor leader for their parts in the Carnegie Hall clash on the question of the race riots in East St. Louis. The rosolution read: “The Central Federated Union of Greater New York and vicinity fully approves and indorses the position taken by President Samuel Gompers at the C-rnegie Hall meeting neld or Friday night, July 6, 1917, in sup- porting the organized labor move- ment in East St. Louis and explaining the true facts of the rioting, which situation had been misrepresented to the large audience by Col. Theodore Roosevelt and which we consider was a -hidden attack upon organized labor.” “Gompers lost the one opportunity that American labor has ever had ‘o place the labor movement in a fair and recognized position before the general public,” said James Bagley, Delegate of Franklin Pressman’s As- sistants Union, No. 23 interrupting the applause with which the resolu- tions were greeted. “Col. Roosevelt had the better of the argument,” he continued. ‘“He made Gompers look small. He forced him to remain silent while he up- braided organized labor.

ICKINSON —-MUGC().. s'rnm on the front pages of the newspapers by telling Mr. Gompers_that organized labor was responsible for the murder of negroes in East St. Louis. “I object to the resolution because Mr. Gompers failed to tell the public facts. He failed to tell the public that the rioting was caused by capi- talists bringing negro labor to St. Louis to discharge the white man. The meeting was called by Wall Street and the red flag of amarchy.” Mr. Bagley said American labor feels no enmity toward the negro. “If Mr. Gompers had had the op- portunity to get back at Roosevelt the second time, he would have made him look like 2 cents,” said Morris Braum, Treasurer of the C. F. U. “I want to say that Mr. Gompers has long stood for the colored man in organized labor. The Cigarmakers’ Interna- tional Union, in which Gompers has long been prominent, was the first union to take in colored men. Gom- pers was sponsor for a colored man who was elected Treasurer.” Other delegates criticized = Col. Roosevelt for “having always favor- ed the trusts,” and for having permit- ted white men ‘““to be shot down like dogs in the West Virginia coal strike* while he was President. Ernest Bohm, secretary of the organization, said he had heard Mr. Gompers would have replied a second time if Mayor Mitchel had not shut off discussion. The meeting was held at the Labor Temple, No. 243 East Eighty-fourth street. INVENTORIES FILED., Appraisers of Three Estates Present Reports to Probate Court. ‘William J. Littlehales and Howard S.

SUGAR GLYCERINE DISCOVERY MADE Government Laboratory Announces Important Factor in Manufacture of Explosives Without Fats. ‘Washington, July 14.—Discovery in the internal revenue division labor- atory of a process for manufacturing glycerine from sugar was announced today by the treasury department. Under the secret process evolved the cost of this substance, a heavy factor in the manufacture of explo- sives, will be reduced to slightly more than one-fourth of its present cost. Glycerine 1s at present manufac- tured almost entirely from fats at a cost of 90 cents a pound, which is six times its cost of production be- fore the war. Extraction of the product from sugar will insure pro- duction officials estimate at 25 cents a pound or less. The immense im- portance of the discovery in conserv- ing the fat supply of thee nation is ipointed out by officials who declare that Germany's fat shortage is large- ly due to the use of fats for produc- tioh of explosives. Germany has long since been forced to discontinue the manufacture of soap in order to con- serve the fats for ammunition mak- ing. The discovery is the first to be announced by the chemists working in co-operation with the Council of National Defense. HORRORS, NO PIE FOR TROOPS. Boston, July 14.—The war welfare work of the Massachusetts Woman's Temperance Union does not include the establishment and operation of a pie factory at Aver, where part of the drafted army from New England will be trained, Mrs, Katherine L. Stetven- son,, president of the arganization an- nounced today. She explained that the original plan .as outlined by her to Brig. Gen. Edwards, of the depart- ment of the northeast, had been mis- construed. OUIMET LEADS EDWARDS Chicago, July 14.—Francis Ouimet of Boston shooting only fair golf was two up to Kenneth H, Edwards of Chi- cago at the end of the morning round of the finals of the western amateur champlonship at Midlothian today.

Washington, July 14.—President Wilson dropped official duties today long enough to attend with Mrs. Wil- son the wedding of Miss Elizabeth Harding, daughter of Governor W. G. Harding of the federal reserve board, and Frederick Henry Prince, Jr., of Boston, at St. John’s Episcopal church. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT. New York, July 14—The actual condition of clearing house banks and trust companies for the week shows that they hold $36,144,940 reserve in coxcess of legal requirements. This is 4 decrease of $242,308,050 from last week. ASK FOR DEMONSTRATION COOLEY & TROUP 6 Main Street SUFFS PLANNING MORE WAR WORK Miss Dwyer Asked to Accept Post in France (Special to the Herald.) Haftford, July 14.—The executive board of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage association will meet at the summer home of Mrs. George H, Day at Fenwick. The meeting will un- doubtedly be fuller than is usual in the summer for several members of the board who are accustomed to go out of the state in summer are staying in Connecticut to carry out various forms of war work that they have under- taken. All the work done sa far in co-operation with the national and state governments and with Dr. Anna Shaw’'s committee which forms the woman’s division of the National Councll of Defenso will be reviewed and new plans arranged. The suffra- gists are raising about $10,000 for their war work. Of this $800 is being raised in each of five counties for the expenses of a woman food demonstra- tor. In New London and Middlesex coun- ties the suffragists are giving in éach $1,000 for a similar purpose. In New Haven county the money is being raised for other purposes much of it being for the maintenance of a suf- frage farm training school, the Race- brook farm, near Derby. Money has also been liberally contributed for other purposes, Miss Rose Dwyer, who is an acknowledged expert in con- nection with mental troubles due to meningitis and nerve shock, has been asked by the government to go to France to work among the many vic- tims of nerve shock there. Before ac- cepting the offer she is making an ap- peal for the food which is absolutely necessary for these poar victims if they are to have a chance of recovery. She states that in all cases of nerve shock and nerve exhaustion sugar is vitally necessary. Sugar stocks in France are very low, and neither the little children—many of whom are suffering from nerve shock, not the older victims, get enough sugar. She is therefore asking that whenever the suffragists are making jam ar Jelly they will put aside one jar for these victims of the war. She can ensure transportation to France if the jam and jelly is forthcoming. Collections of these jars will be made at suffrage headquarters in Hartford. Whenever possible the women are asked to bring or send the jam and pelly there, and where this is not possible if the wamen will communicate with their county chairman or with the president of the nearest league means will be found of transporting the jelly and putting it at the disposition of Miss Dwyer. BANDITS GET $20 EACH FOR MURDER Shoot Policeman and Escape With $100 in Coin, Overlooking $10,000 More in Messenger’s Auto. Chicago, July 14.—Twenty dollars each was the reward five robbers earned for killing Policeman Peter Bulfin and leaving seven Chlldren fa- therless. Bulfin was slain while trying to de- fend Edward Wyatt, who was held up just after he had started from the Chicago City Bank and Trust Com- pany with more than $10,000 in his possession. The bandits seized a bag full orl nickels, but overlooked the bulk of the treasure. They fled, leaving Bul- fin crumpled up in the back of an automobile with a bullet hole through his heart. Thirty minutes after they disap- peared the bank telephone rang. “How's the cop?” a voice inquired. “Did he die?” “Yes,” the ““Good!” exclaimed the voice. the receiver went up. Wyatt, a messenger for the bank, makes a trip each morning to the Live Stock Exchange National Bank in the stockyards. DPoliceman Bulfin was his regular companion. Wryatt took his box full of money as usual and climbed into ‘an automobile in inquirer was told. Then front of the bank. Bulfin took a seat beside him. The car was on the point of starting when four men ran up. They drew revolvers, -“Hands up!"” their leader ordered. Wyatt and Bulfin got to their feet, Wyatt with his hands in the air, Bulfin reached for his revolver, but he was not swift enough. Before he could grip his weapon one of the bandits had fired. A robber seized the box of cash and snatched one of the bags of money from it. Then came a series of re- volver reports from within the bank, where E. H. Holtorff, the cashler, be- gan to take a hand in the battle. The bandits ran to an automobile, where a fifth man sat at the wheel, await- ing them. The car shot away, its occupants turning around and firing two or three times to intimidate possible pursuers. Bulfin received honorable mention last September for bravery displayed in capturing one of three armed men who held up a restaurant. ALLOW FEW ENLISTMENTS. Indications that the United States navy is rapidly approaching full war strength are seen in the order recelved at the district recruiting office last night which prohibits the enlistment of more than two men each week un- til further notice. Yesterday an or- der was received restricting the num- ber of enlistments to four men a week, but this was subsequently reduced. The .monthly meeting of the school board, scheduled for yesterday, has been postponed until Monday after- noon at 4.30 o'clock. DEAR LADIES MAY HOLD POKER PARTIES Judge Rules Cards May Fly in Private Homes New York, July 14.—After she had lost $1,700 in a certain lively little poker circle of Sheepshead Bay Ma- trons, Mrs. Mary Prendergast of No. 2671 East Nineteenth street fell to considering her advancing years and grew repentant of her dalliance with the disks of red, white and blue and the fever of holding straights and flushes. Therefore she caused Mrs, Clara Hall, wife of & racetrack patrol judge, to be taken to the Coney Island court, charged with conducting a gambling place at her home, No 8100 Ocean avenue, “We played for money—Ilots of money,” Mrs. Prendergast yesterday told Magistrate QGeigsmar. “Usually we would meet at Mrs. Hall's in the afternoon and play before and after dinner, Each of us gave Mrs, Hall $1 when we began to play and $3 more if We we kept playing after midnight. “Didn’t you get anything for your money?”’ demanded Jerry Wernbers, counsel for Mrs. Hall. “Oh yes. The dollar was pay for the expenses of the dinner.” “And the $3 extra?"” “That was for refreshments.” It was not only at Mrs. Hall's home, Mrs. Prendergast readily con- ceded, that poker parties were held. In fact every woman of the circle from time to time had a game in her home. “Ever have a game at your own house?” questioned the lawyer. Mrs, Prendergast nodded in the af- firmative. “Oh, yes, I'm- just as gulity as Mrs. she said. “That is, I used to be just as guilty. But I'm getting on in years now and I'm repentant. I haven’t any malice against Mrs. Hall. All T want to do is to break the game up. 'How much did you lose?”” “About '$1,700 in the last two years. There are others who lost more. I know one woman who lost $2,000 and another one told me if she lost any more she'd think seriously of com- mitting suicide. That's when I be- gan to think things over and became repentant.” Mrs. Selma Schieman of No. 615 East Seventeenth street, Flatbush, was also a witness. It was she who lost $2,000, Both women admitted that no out- siders were admitted into the games, which were confined strictly to their own private circle. Both said no profit could have been made out of the $1 and $3 fees. As far as Magistrate Geismar s concerned, the Sheepshead matrons may go right on opening jackpots. He dismissed the complaint against Mrs. Hall. = “If,” he commented, ‘“we started sending people to jail for holding pri- vate card games, we'd have the jails filled with prominent citizen: COLLEGE GRADUATES AT WORK.
