Crtche is Badly in Need of Assistance to Garry on
 Its Noble Work
FAMILY OF 5O CHILDREN
 HAS ID BE CARED FOR
Twenty-Five Little Ones Are Being Sent to School While a Large Number Are Under
 School Age.

The Mercy home has family of fifty children. and out of this number the Creche maintains thirty-two whose ages range from six to twelve. The Creche sends twenty-five children to the public schools As soon as the nursery children are old enough to go to school they be- come the special care of the Greene, in fact before they are of school age, just as soon as they are out of the nursery. AS an auxiliary to the Mercy home the Creche has for years carried on its beau tiful charity which Is the most appealing in Birmingham, because of the chiidren's helpiessness. It seeks to maintain all the children who are out of the Mercy home nursery undertakes to clothe them, to supply the dornitories, to send them to school, to buy their books. everything, in fact. but to provide food. The Mercy home does that and has always looked after the bodily comforts of these little ones who find their way to it's doors. The matron of the home, Mrs. Ramsey. whom all the children call Mother Ramsey" has the entire responsibility of every thing, but in the Creche department there is a sub-matron who looks after the chill dren, gets them ready for school, and does the thousand and one things neces- gary for family of thirty-two little ones.
 The creche cannot carry on it's work without money. Warm clothing has to be provided, shoes must be bought and be- sides the wardrobes for the children. the dormintory has to be replenished. Sheets, blankets, pillow cases, towels, all the fur nishngs are provided by the Creche. Be- bides this an additional expense must be met and that Is the salary of the sub matron which Is s1so. It will be readily seen that the Creche, particularly as the winter needs are so great, should receive financial assistance at once in order to carry on its noble work.
 The society department of the Age Herald opens its columns today for the annual subscriptions to the Creche. Two cash subscriptions were received yester- day and the fund starts with $10. Those wishing to subscribe to the Creche fund are requested to send their donations to the society department of this paper or to Miss Walker, 2232 Sycamore street. Subscriptions of s1 or more are asked.
 The amounts subscribed yesterday were: Cash .............,...,..... D
 The Creche includes in its membership many of the most prominent women in Birmingham. Its relation to the Mercy home has been explained time and again, but occasionally misunderstanding arises In the minds of those not entirely familiar with Its work The Mercy home board is entirely separate from any other board and the general management of the home comes under the Jurisdiction of this board. The Creche, which was organized as an auxiliary to the Mercy home, has an advisory board which meets once every two months with the Mercy home board. This advisory board includes the president of the Creche ex-officio, and Mrs. R. S. Munger. Mrs. Nathan L. Mil

IS SCOTT A sLovENLY WRITER.
Some of His Errors Were Due to
 Haste.

Thomas R. Lounsbury in Harper's Maga- zine.
 Scott for illustration, is constantly spoken of as very careless writer. His productions have been favorite hunting ground for verbal critics. Why has he been selected for special censure? Sim ply because he disregarded a number of rules which men infinitely inferior to himself have set up as tests for correct ness of speech. Scott was indeed a very rapid writer, and his style at times ex- hibits the inaccuracy and slovenliness which arise from haste Such he would have admitted to be the case, and in fact, did admit and correct when these objec- tionable features were pointed out. But in the great majority of cases the faults with which he has been charged would not have been deemed by him faults at all. Had his attention been called to them. He would not have made the slight est alteration.
 On this very point he has not left us In doubt. Not even his regard for his son. in-law was sufficient to induce him to dis

WHEN SPAIN RULED THE SEAS.
Quantities of Gold Were Taken From
 the New World.

Howard Pyle, in Harpers Magazine.
 It has never been told how vast was the treasure that was emptied from the New World into the Old in those days the glorious days of Spanish dominion. We can only judge of how great it was by collateral evidence. The booties of Cortez and of Pizarro are fomous in annals of New World history. In them we have read how the soldiers of the former car- ried away only a small part of the treas ures footed at Mexico. yet were so loaded down with stolen gold that, when they fell from the causeway into the lake in the memorable retreat from Mexico. they sank and drowned hs though weighted with plummets of lead Also we read how Pizarro exacted as a tribute for the lib- eration of Inca Atahulpa gold that filled to a depth of several feet room seven teen feet wide by twenty-two feet long. and which was valued at 100000 pesos d'or-the equivalent of nearly $l5.oOo,0oo of our money.
 When Drake sailed the South sea In the Golden Hind upon his piratical voyage of circumnavigation in the years l677-l9, and when he captured the Nuestra Senoro della Conception (surnamed the Caca- fuego, or Spitfre) off Cape San Francis- co. 1t took three days to transfer the treasure from the captured ship to his own. In that single haul there was real ized a purchase" as 1t was called. Of over twenty-six tons of silver, besides eighty pounds of virgin gold, thirteen chests of pieces of eight containing over A million in money, and an enormous amount of jewels and plate.
 Upon the evidence of John Drake we read that when the Golden Hind laid her course for England by way of Cape of Good Hope she was SO heavily bal la sted'' with pure silver that she rode exceeding deep in the water"

guise his contempt for his son-in-law's linguistic criticism. There Is a significant entry in his diary which bears upon this subject, under the date of April 22 1926.
