Race suicide2 Well no danger of it
in New Haven and vicinity if one may
judge from the baby show at savin
Rock yesterday. President Roosevelt's
hearty "deeIighted'' would have been
heard all over the park had he been
present to see those 500 little young
sters, and hear their lusty yells. There
We're 600 more applicants but they APP
pied too late. A nurse and doctor were
| in attendance, and ice water was serV-
ed to the thirsty youngsters and their
elders for tn asking. And they certain
liz did ask. A man was kept busy all
the afternoon bringing pals of that
refreshing beverage. Every time he ar
rived he announced with satisfied
air, 81 had two myself, but they had
foam on them.'' Sam" Speck, the
amiable manager of the Old Mill, was
so busy kissing the eolored babies, and
singing lulfabys to them that Harry
Cushman had to speak three times, in
viting him to have a Smile" before
he heard, and even colored bac.es
couldn't detain him then.
