Deepest Sympathy
And a Suggestion
From This Mother

To the Editor Of The Washington Times;
When I laid down The Sunday
Times today, after reading the
pathetic story of the disappearance
of baby Horace Marvin, my cheeks
were wet with tears. Tears that
came from a mothers heart, out Of
sympathy for the father of that
dear little soul.
Surely in a country filed with en-
terprising and sympathetic people,
there must be way to find that
baby. Every mother, every father,
and IN fact, anyone who has ever
had the God given pleasure and JOY
of drinking in the sweet innocence
baby's face must have
felt a Juggling - their heart strings
as they read of this child's disap-
pearance. Each and every one Of
them should deem it a sacred duty
to assist in finding the baby, dead
or alive. Sad and narrowing as the
loss may be, the finding viii termi-
nate the agonizing suspense of the
distracted father, and in some slight
degree bring him surcease of sor-
row.
Goading Fears That Torment.
Think of the thousand goading fears
that torment that father and the aged
grandmother OF the missing lad The
-
harm that could come to the child has
no doubt haunted the relatives.
Baby. Is there a sweeter word in any
language7 In all the world there is
nothing so sweet. soft, and soothing as
the smiles and prattie OF baby clothed
IN snowy mantle OF innocence and
Death may have its sting. but when
the baby OF the family drops out OF
sight with the duickness OF lightning
the jaws OF the earth had opened and
swallowed him, death, 70 my mind,
fades into fnsignificance. The thrice
barbed arrow that fate has sunk deep
into the heart Of this father viii leave
wound that VIII never heal whatever
may be the outcome OF the seaFchers.
Sunday Times Has Best Plan.
As a mother, who has fondIed her
baby. stroked its drowsy head. and felt
the warmth OF its soft kisses. 1 i'm
piore entreat all others who have felt
similar ecstasy to lend whatever aid
they can 10 find this child believe
The Sunday Times has struck upon the

VIvIsECT!0N IDEA
TO BE EXPANDED

New York. Oct. 23.-vivisection on
a larger scale and by more scientific
methods than a ever been practiced
is BEND arranged for the Rockefeller
institute for medical research, created
and endowed four years ago by John
d. Rockefeller.
The first step in the elaborate scheme
has been taken in the purchase of a
ninety-seven acre farm in New Jer-
sey. The stocking of this farm with.
animals and fowls for vivisection pur-
poses has begun. When the orange
ments are completed the farm will be
the most scientifically equipped and
extensive place of it's kind in the world.
The chief reason for the establish
ment of this first great scientific farm
is the increased facilities that could
be obtained for scientific work. Here
animals may be bred and guarded,
hereditary in it's bearing ON disease OBJ
served and the quality of the raw ma
terial for vivisection work may be bet
ter known and controlled.
