Feud of Blackhande:s umano Brothers Continued by Explosion To-Day. THE DAMAGE IS SLIGHT. But Police Believe It Is Only a Warning of More Deadly Ones to Come. ‘The Biack Hand warfare waged for the inet year inet the Cusumaco brothers, Salvatore and | and saloon keepers in Kast Thitty-ninth street, was reopened early to-day with the explotion of a bomb in the doorway of their cafe at No ast Thirty- ninth street ‘The enmity of a bind of Sicilian black+ mailers was incurred by the Cusumanos, the brothers say, because they refused to contribute to the defense fund of @ ™an who killed hin wife, That man Dleaded guilty and !s now In Sing Sinz, Dut hin friends do not forgive or fort The bomb of raorning was small, and the damage it did was inconsequen- tial—a couple of windows broken, mere- lv—not to excee1 $10 worth of property injured. But the explosion ts regarded by the Cusumanos and by the police as an earnest of deailier and more de- structive ones to come. At the same fo there Was an cendiary fire late in 1912, and on July & last a bomb containing three sticks of dynamite, imbedded in a concrete block, was found at the threshold. The Cusumanos own a pool room at No, 317 Easy Thirty-ninth street. There an incendiary fire was discovered short- ly before New Yehr's, The brothers have & grocery at No, 312 East Thirty-ninth street. Two bombs were e::ploded there on different occasions, but close to- ether and about the time of the other outrages on Cusumano propeerty. MURDER OF WOMAN LED TO SENDING OF BOMB! The murder of Carmelia Geracci on Nov. 9 1912, was an event which the intervening months have proved was of sinister consequence to the Cusymanos, She killed with a spike driven into her head, and her body was dumped into a mill pond at Georgetown, Conn, where it was discovered the next day. For a long time it lay in the Morgue, unidentified. The woman was the sup- posed victim of white slavers, But she was killed by her husband, Salvatore Gerace! vith whom she for- merly lived at No. 312 East Thirty- ninth street, in the neighborhood where the Cusumanos carry on their various business enterprises. The murder, how- ever, was committed at No. 315 East Fortieth stret. Geracct fled, but his murderous and Dlackmalling associates in New York kept in touch with him, The uxoricide, . So did his friends, and they eet about raising a fund to maintain tim in eectusion or to pay for his de- fense, if he should be caught. The method of raising the fund—at Jeast this is the story the Cusumanos told ¢he police, and the police believe it— was blackma!l. A demand was made on the Cusumancs for $1,000, The demand was .

That girls are healthier than boys, that blondes will be more popular than brunettes in the coming generation, and that children regardless of their for- eign parentage develop the American standard physically, are three very im- portant discoveries which became known yesterday, when the prises were awarded in Tho Evening World's Better Bab Contest at Little Italy House, No, 14% Union street, Brooklyn, Dr. Le Grand Kerr, who haa been in charge of the contest in this district of Brooklyn, sald that it was remarkable how much more @eveloped the girls were who came up for examination, than the boys. He added that the baby girls were far better fit, physi- cally, than the litte chaps, and that this 18 a ratner discouraging outwuk for the boys of the future generation, It one was to accept thin as a standard. He also pointed out that more than half of the three hundred babies ex- amined had light golden hatr, and also, thet though the Italians are known to be short of atature, yet the majority of the Itallan babies proved they had developed up to the American standard of height. If all this is true of the entire baby world the future generation promises to be light headed, and the woman, with her superior physique, will doubt- leas dominate the weaker sex— Then will be realised the dream of M Pankhurst, and poor man will be com- pelled to give her the vote. That's what Brooklyn has been do- ing! MOTHERS EAGER TO REAR CHiL- DREN PROPERLY. When The Evening World started this contest in the Little Italy section of Brooklyn, hundreds of mothers jour- neyed with their bables to Neighbor- hood House to learn “just what was wrong with the baby.” Mothers confessed they were ignorant as to what to give their babies to eat; how long they should permit them to sleep and how much exercise and fresh air they should have. The doctora say the questions asked them proved only too clearly that there are innumerable parents who do not know how to raise children, As the doctors told them what they should do, and what they should not do, the mothers listened, with the result that they went home and proved th sincerity by adhering to the orders given | them. And when they brought children again there was every evidence of {inprovement in te little ones, And a0, when yesterday afternoon ar- rived, three nundred mothers made their way @nxiously to the Brooklya Library in the hopes that thelr little girl, or boy, would receive one of the coveted prises, This w ny their IVE PRIZE WINNERS IN THEIR RESPECTIVE AcE CchLassES5 MARIB D4) Her u aS Morten. 2G63BALTIC stReEaty Z2VIRGINIAU SHE ‘Sauce 86 PY KMAN STREET. 3 ANNA foce: 10 Monnens NOB. ap STREET.

The cases of insufficient food have not been due to the mother's Inability to provide food for them, but, on the mother's own statement, igno- France as to just what to feed them. “Then, too, we have found that mothers do not put thelr children enough on the floor, They carry them too much, and the result is the child becomes backward in learning to walk.
