HOMELESS BABY PROBLEM. The above are only a few of the high Lights given me by Dr, Chapin on this vital subject. Primarily, he hopes that the cry of the children who want homes and the cry of the hundreds of foster parents who want children will be answered by a pos- sible ‘change of system which will se- 4s cure family life for the child, against institutions, De. Chapin added that the first step this connection was taken at the in a conference with ident Roosevelt, and the resolu ite House tions of that conference stated: ‘Home life is the highest and fnest roduct of civilization.

The difficulty with which one is con+ fronted is in finding a suitable home, and then in exercising constant and proper supervision, and where board- ing out has not been successful it is because either of these two factors has not been sufficiently taken up. “The Speedwell plan, which has re- ceived the highest and best attention, is, briefly, like this: Boarding-out ‘a a certain district of the country noted for its healthful conditions. Constant oversight, especially as to diet and hygiene, on the part of a salaried physician and nurse who are thoroughly familiar with this class of cases and competent to deal with them, The. children are kept indefinitely until digestion and as- similation have improved sufficiently to result in increase of weight and strength.

Early in 1919, he said, one of the New Jersey Commissioners was “un- tring in his efforts” to bring about the adoption of the O'Rourke patented concrete block method. To settle the matter the Commission unanimously and jointly appointed Clifford M. Hol- land chief engincer and the cast iron tube system was adopted. March 8 last, he said, one of the New Jersey Commissioners “in a most casual manner” informed us that the New Jersey Commission had promised to widen Fourteenth street, Jersey Avenue and Hender- son Street, in addition to widening Twelfth Street.” The New York Com- mission, the speaker said, was as- tonished and denied that it had any right or intention to ratify this promise. ‘The Corporation Counsel for Jersey City and the counsel for the New Jersey Commission failed to keep an appointment for a conference May ) with the Attorney General on this subject. The New Jersey Commission also voted to dismiss all the consult- ing engineers on the ground that they were biased) The New York Comm's- sion repudiated this action as illegal and unfair, Gen. Dyer said. in con- clusion he said: “There is desperate need for this tunnel.

We will guard as zealously as if they were our own the rights and interests of you all. ‘We want you gentlemen to help us.” —_—————_ PRISON INSTEAD OF WEDDING BELLS Court Denies Freedom to Girl. So She Could Wed Man Who Would Pay Debts.

The first bandit who tries to hold up the Brooklyn Savings Bank will do well to keep out of range of Miss Helen M.

At this rate there would bé small chance for a bandit—especially in view of the fact that there weuid be others besides Miss Breden shooting at him, and some of the others have even bet- ter scores than hers. The bank started the target practice after the hold-up and murders for which Gordon Hamby was electro- cuted. GOLLISION FIRES TROLLEY AND TRUCK Seven Hurt Escaping Flames Which Scorches “L” and Closes Nearby Store. Official investigations were started to-day into a trolley-truck collision in which seven were hurt and sixty endangered at Third Avenue and 13th Street last night. The truck, driven south by Abraham Packer, No. 210 Seventh Street, was hit by a south- bound Third Avenue surface car. The truck's gasoline tank exploded and set fire to both truck and trolley, the heat being so intense a dry goods store on the corner was closed and the ties of the elevated overhead were set ablaze, suspending traffig for half an hour. Packer was not Burt, but Henry Fisher, No. 1410 Madison Avenue, and Jacob Greenburg, No. 52 Jefferson Street, who were on the truck and also jumped, were burned on hands and face. The stree: car was of the convert- ible type, with open sides. ‘The in- stant the truck began blazing the pas- sengers stampeded for the rear doors, ‘The conductor tried to calm them, but, was thrown to the floor.

Benjamin Spitman, a Brooklyn shoe dealer, has proved to two hold- up men he is not afrald of a gun He lost $10 in proving it, but he saved the contents of his cash drawer. Two men, reported to have confessed the hold-up, are in the nands of the police to-day. Spitman was alone tn his store, No. 1% Myrtle Avenue, last night, getting ready to lock up whea two men, whom ho supposed to be prospective customers, came in. One pulled out a revolver, backed Spit- man against a wall with hands up and took $10 from his pocket. ‘The other man went to the front dvor as a lookout. ‘The $10 had been ao easily acquired the man with the revolver started tor the cash drawer. This action for & moment turned the revolver away from Spitman, who summgned beth courage and agility and flung bim- self on the thief, For the next five tuinutes the store was full of fight and tumbling shoe boxes, Spitinan and his assailant rolled about the floor from one end of the place to | the other, the robber threaten ng to shoot, but being unable to get his gun to bear, So great was the commotion that the lookout ran back and = yeiled “Beat it!” to his compantong but it was all the latter could do to free tumself from Spitman’s grasp. He did manage to break away and both men ran from the shop. Spitman was close on thelr heels apd a crowd soon joimed in the our- suit. The man with the revolver turned once and fired at the crowd, which sotfght shelter and gave the thieves a chance to get away.
