SEPARATED FROM PARENTS.
Steps Taken to Rescue Children Miss
ing From San Francisco.

An appeal from Ellen Louise Bigelow Of
Harvard, Mass, to President Roosevelt on
behalf of children who were separated from
their parents by the California earthquake
resulted in special instructions to DR.. De-
vine the Red Cross agent In San Fran
cisco, urging him to have notices of missing
children posted at all relief stations and to
send Red Cross headquarters full descrip-
lions of missing children that immediate
steps may be taken to get information re-
garding them.
The letter from the Massachusetts, wo-
man inclosed several clippings from Ogden
Utah; Salem, Ore. Seattle Wash, and
other western cities concerning children
who became separated from their parents
and were taken in all directions on trains
for refugees.
This letter was sent from the White
House to Red Cross headquarters at the
war department, and immediate instruc-
tons We're directed to Dr. Devine, In which
the cooperation of the force at the head
quarters in this city was offered for the
purpose Of Advertising lost children and
bringing about the reunion of all families
scattered by the disaster.

Laxness and Severity.

From Mothers Magazine.
In certain moods and frames OF mind
when one begins to compare past and pres
ent family life, the severity of old days
and the laxness of these present times, one
is tempted to wish that the parents of the
past and present dispensations coulo De
added together and divided by two, and
good average evolved somehow. Some OF
the elder grown-ups nowadays remember
how they would have been almost in terror
of their lives had they INDUCED IN doings
which at present are considered nothing at
all by lax parents and lawless children
Young people are allowed to choose for
themselves and &c their own way In a
manner surprising to those reared under
rigid rule. Which, indeed, is the better
way2 Why, neither. An average between
them must be sought and found. and then
1t will be called the golden mean. One
cannot say of either of two extremes that
one is best or worst. for the best really lies
In the middle. that golden middle way
which is safe and sane
A youth warped and twisted by opposi-
ton on every side, restrained beyond all
reason. bafled by arbitrary restrictions
will sometimes wrest his liberty from the
powers that be, and proceed to be a law
unto himself In way that Will lead 10
greater laxity OF conduct and defiance OF
rule than would otherwise have been nat
ural or possible. On the other hand, a
child left to himself, unguided, unre-
strained, unguarded, Is no less pitiable
The golden mean must be sought earnestly,
for 1t Is the only refuge from the two evils
in the two extremes.
The mother should never be really lax.
careless, unheeding. dallying. forgetful,
inconstant or inconsistent; but she must
by all means avoid that severity which de-
stroys confidence. promotes fear and deceit,
and should learn how to relax the over
sight and restraints when they become
needless.

CITIZENS OBJECT.
Effort to Rescind Action on Permit
for Livery Stable.


Because the consent of the District of CO.
funbia, as the owner of piece OF prop
erty in the neighborhood, was one of the
phases incident to the recent issue of a per-
init for the construction OF a livery stable
on 18th street northwest, between u and v
streets, a determined effort will be made
by residents Of 18th street to persuade the
Commissioners to reconsider their action
and to revoke the permtt given to Albert
G. Brooke, owner and builder of the stable.
A petition signed by number of the 18th
street property owners was received by the
Commissioners today. with a request that
public hearing be granted them, and this
request will be granted.
1t is stated that Mr.. Brooke applied for
the permit in November, 1905, and secured
the consent of the required two-thirds of
the property owners within 200 feet of his
location, with the exception of the District
Of Columbia. At that time Engineer Com
missioner Biddle recommended that the
District give its consent. and this action
was taken. The date of the hearing has
not yet been fixed.
