LOOKING FOR MOTHER
Three Children All the Way
 From Burlington, Vt.

Three children, Lambert, by name. are in this city looking for their mother whom no one seems to know anything about. The children arrived in this city yesterday coming from Burlington, Vermont. They are at present in charge of the Rev Earnest A. Lamontagne. pastor of St Anne's church who will care for the children until their mother is locat- ed. The children are aged l3, II, 5, but can tell very little about their parents as for some time they have been in an orphanage in Burlington. Some one thought their mother lived in Thomaston and they were put on a train and sent there. But they were in the wrong place and after spending the night were sent back to Waterbury. The police are hunting the town for Mrs Lambert.

CAR OFF TRACK.
North Willow Street People Had
 Long Wait To-day.

Residents of North Willow street who were waiting for cars shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon had good long rest. A car left the tracks near Highland park and the trucks were on the end of the switch in such manner that no cars could pass it. Instead of running the reg ular Highland park cars to and from the center, no car came down for about three-quarters of an hour. There was no reason even though the cars could not pass the switch at Highland park, why cars could not have been pressed into service in. stead of compelling the public to wait for almost an hour.

EXPOSITION FOR MARYLAND.

THE jamestown Exposition has inspired Bal
4 hmorcans with the fair fever. Plans al
ready are under consideration for an exhibition
on the water front OF the Maryland metropolis
to be held in 1914 to celebrate the climax OF the
war of 1872 and the birth OF the Star Spangcd
Banner song General Felx Agnus is heading
the movement and City Council has taken steps
toward organization, Governor Warheld promis-
ing cooperation General Agnus proposes that
the fair be called the Banner Exposition of the
Banner Country
The year 1914 was the crucial period of the
Second War for independence and had the British
captured Baltimore the conflict might have ended
disastrously But the gallantry of Americans re
pulsed the invaders at that time and-gave birh
to the lyric of the Star Spangled Banner, that
will be a favorte=as long as America cndures.
The fair will be of special interest to Dclawar-
cans not only because Maryland is a neighboring
state but, because by that time, it is hoped the
canal connecting the Delaware and Chesapeake
Bays will be in operation. The two bays have
the largest commerce in The nation and by then
we hope to be able to rcaso benefits from the canal
improvement
Maryland has stroag claims for appropratug
this anniversary The state more than sustained
her share Of the burden Of The war of 1872. She
supplied more than hcr quota OF troops and gave
largely of her money Sc well did Maryland then
respond TO her country call that President Madi-
son declared: "The claims of Maryland for her
expenditure during the war, stand upon higher
grounds than those oi any other state Of The
union"

ENVIRONMENT oF woMEN.

a PHILADELPHIA editor some time ago,
a as result OF am Investigation OF the en-
ploymcnt of men and women, declared that his
inquiry showed that the number Of women in
various empoyments is decreasing, but this does
not appear to be sustained by the facts.
The latest report of the factory Inspector of
Pennsylvania in Lackawanna County one of the
principal industrial ccutcrs OF the Keystone state
shows, according TO the Scranton Times that
twenty-five establishments devoted to iron and
products employ 3,4o3 men and no women. Then
under the head OF lumber and products mercan-
tile establishments, miscellaneous manufacturers,
textile mills and clothing and bakcshops iuclud-
ing $50 establishments, the report shows that
42S3 men and 7,27o women are employed These
conditions are said TO be typical and show an in
crease in the general employment Of women The
fact that women are occupying more and more
fields OF labor either through choice or necessity,
may throw some light ON tho decrease in the
marriage rate of which there has been complaint
by writer's and preachers on social topics.

THE Legion of Honor of France has decor
= atcd John III. Patterson, manufacturer
al cash registers, i'm recognition of the manner Of
conducting his business with his employees. Years
ago he purchased a small factory and started on
practically a cooperative principle, uniting the
interests of his employees with his own. The plan
has worked successfully On his pay roll are
$500 men and 700 women and the sanitary ar
rangements of his factories are said to be models
for other employers.
Good light and plenty of fresh air are provided,
luncheon is served cash prizes are offered for
suggestions as to how the business may be inn
proved The neighborhood has been bcautifcd
with flowers, trees and lawns. lie conducts
schools, a reading room and all sorts of corven-
fences are provided. Once a year the employees
and their families arc invited to dinner. which
10000 attended last year. In wages he pays out
S3.oooooo year and his former little factory with
a SI2oo output has increased until it has an an
nual income Of 81 100000.
The proprietor declares that every dollar
spent in making the employees comfortable and
contented has been multiplied ten fold in direct
benefit to the company"
And the recognition he has received from the
foreign society shows that Mr.. Pattersons efforts
have been appreciated by those who are not di-
rectly concerned in the affairs OF labor and capital
