MANY UNMARRIED WOMEN
IN CHICAGO ADOPT BABIES
They Say They Find in Caring for
Little Creatures Many Last
ing Delights.

CHICAGO, June 7.-Adoption OF infants
and small people by unmarried women.
young and old, of Chicago, has become an
established factor in the disposal of home
less children.
The reasons given for the taking to their
hearts of the little children who soon come
to mean so much to them are as various
as the children, but they all express the
same thought and feeling. Love for the in
nocent child nature lies at the root of the
adoption.
why shouldn't we adopt children" ques-
ton the tender-hearted women who have
followed the dictates of their natures. Be
cause a woman does not marry il by no
means follows that she is not a good-na-
tured mother. And with so many home
less children in the world, In Chicago, good
mothers of any kind must certainly be of
use"
Miss Jessie P. Forsythe has a big house
at Winfield, ILL.,, a big garden and a heart
TO match it. Miss Forsythe believes that
no home is truly complete without children.
Two years ago, making up her mind to
prove the truth and value OF her theory. she
looked about her for two small boys. When
Miss Mary NJ. Bartelme, public guardian of
Cook county, heard of Miss Forsythe she
pleaded in behalf of two orphan girls who
were her charges Miss Forsythe. taking

charming that she adopted them. In none
of the experiences that have enriched her
life has she found such delight as in her
children" she unhesitatingly declares.
And now, however, she is planning TO adopt
two small boys.
Several women physicians of Chicago
have brought happiness into lives already
well filled with unselfish endeavor by the
adoption of children. DR.. Louise Acres and
DR.. Emma Gabel are among these loving
women. To the first named have come
most Of the Experiences, sorrowful and

"own mother" could have been more de-
voted. And no "own mother" could have
mourned and grieved more sincerely than
DR.. Acres when. at the age OF three and
half years the baby slipped out of this
existence. The Helen Burnett Acres room
for tiny babies at the Mary Thompson
Hospital is a memorial of her sweet life.
The present delight of DR.. Acres, Elz-
abeth Stuart Acres, happy little girl who
now trots gayly to kindergarten every
day, is of a different type Of childhood. But
she fits in as delightfully."- as her tiny
mates no small amount of joy.
DR.. Emma Gabel, once a teacher, has al
ways loved little children. Several years
ago she adopted Estelle, now a pupil Of the
Francis Barker School, and began to en-
joy life in a new manner. DR.. Iabel in

LARGEST STEAMER SOON
TO MAKE MAIDEN VOYAGE
Novel Features of the Liner Baltic
in Equipment and Carrying
Capacity.

NEW YORK, June 7.-within a few
weeks the largest ship afoat will again en-
ter this harbor. This is the White Star
liner Baltic, which Is due to arrive here on
her maiden voyage on July Z.
In succeeding to the title Of Queen of the
Atlantic, the Baltic follows her sisters.
the Oceanic, Celtic and Cedric, which have
held it successfully for the last five years.
The investment of millions of dollars in
vessels of this class for passenger traffic
was somewhat in the nature of ar expert
ment at the time that ii was undertaken,
but its success is indicated by the fact that
the Cedric. which until now has been the
leading exponent of this type of ship, last
year carried more first-cabin passengers,
trip for trip, than any other liner sailing
from New York.
that one of the German lines which here
tofore has been one of the leading COM
petitors for speed had decided to adopt the
new style of ship and would build liner
OF over $1,000 tons, of the same type as the
Baltic.
II. Ismay, president of the White Star
Company, decided that the striving for
speed was going too far, and planned
ship of greater size. steadiness. luxury and
reserve power than any in existence.
This was the inception OF the Oceanic,
and the same ideas were carried still fur
Their in the construction of the Celtic and
Cedric, which followed soon after.
the Baltic has the same beam as the
Celtic and Cedric, but is twenty-five feet
longer and about 5000 tons heavier.
Her length is 725 feet inches, her beam
seventy-five feet and her tonnage $4,000.
Not only is she a giant in size, but her
equipment shows the steady and rapid
progress that is being made in the con-
struction of ocean vessels. Perhaps this is
most marked in her various electrical de-
vices, in respect of which the Baltic is
far in advance of any liner now in commits
sion.
Some of these safety devices. To
prevent collisions in fogs or at any other
time there is indicator on the bridge
which points to the exact location of any
ship entering its magnetic zone.
This is In the shape of dial with
needle set in its face. AS soon as another
ship comes within certain distance
about five miles-the needle points directly
at 1T, and in this way it's exact location
is made known.
This electrical machine is so delicate that
the screw revolutions of the approaching
steamer are registered by means of the
wave vibration, thus making il impossible
for another ship to creep upon the Baltic
in the dark or fog without its presence be-
ing indicated. These indicators are being
placed on the ships of the English navy
The Baltic is the first steamer to have
a complete electric cooking and refriger-
