PETIT Ridge earned the funds for the
equipment OF the home, and enough TO run
1t for a year by a special lecturing tour
which he undertook. and since the home
was opened last February a few OF his
friends have assisted by endowing cots,
of which there are now q dozen Ia the
home, and they are always full. Some OF
the babies stay only three wesks-the min
imum p~eriod-but some stay much longer.
One baby boy was left by a careless
mother TO the tender mercies Of a gin
drinking old grandmother, and when he
entered the home the doctor declared that
he would not live through the night.
George, the baby, found the home good,
however, and changed his mind and is
now a fine, fat, healthy child.

LONDON, Oct. II. - (Special)-Baby
farming and novel writing are not usually
associated. but one Of England's most pop
ular novellsts has gone into business as
the Infants friend and he is far more
proud of the success OF his baby farm
than he is of the popularity of his books.
He is PETIT Ridge, one of England's most
popular writer's. He has been called the
Modern Dickens" and there is some jus
tice in the title, for no one since Dickens
has portrayed so alphabetically and un.
~derstandingly the English lower classes,
His East End types are almost classics,
and the fact that he always sees and
makes his reader see the humor of his
characters and situations does not prevent
him from seeing and feeling the pathos.
1t was this quality OF sympathy which
induced PETIT Ridge to become a baby
farmer. His favoTite amusement is rRmb-
ling about the East End of London. Al
first he began to ramble In search OF
types, but he soon began to ramble among
the poor because he loved them and sym
p~athized with them, and he soon began to
realize the tragedy OF poverty which Is be-
ing played day after day in hundreds OF
mean streets. Above all, the plight OF the
children appealed TO him. He saw the lit
tie babies suffering and dying from star
walton and mslnutrition, Sheer poverty in
most cases was responsible and in some
cases the Ignorance OF the mothers whose
only training for motherhood was in the
streets or the factories, and the worst OF
1t all was that there was no hospital where
such cases could be treated. Starving ba-
bies are not hospital cases, and the diseases
| incident TO continued starvation and mai.
nutrition usually come too late TO enable
the hospital to do them any good.
Home for sick Babies.
So PETIT Ridge started his baby farm. II
Is called the Home for Little Sick Babies.
and II is situated on the upper floors OF
a house in Harman street-a mean street
OF Hoxton, one Of the poorest districts in
East London. The house itself Is one OF
those which was once the home OF a re-

CHASTITY FUN
FOR MERRY MAKERS.
Poor BIOke's Dead" Said
Policeman.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-(SpeeiaD-
New Years throngs surging through
East Twenty-third street found an
object of sport and jest in a man
tying sprawled on the sidewalk in
front of the Galilee Mission. Men
paused in their merrymaking to stoop
and yell in his ears. Women blew
horns at him and tickled his nose
with feathers. Boys and girls, made
bold by the frolic of the night, pulled
the ends of his mustache. and kicked
the soles of his WORKOUT shoes.
Nobody seemed to observe that the
man on the sidewalk made no move
toward resenting the acts of his
tormentors. Neither horns nor kicks
nor the laying on of hands reused
him.
After this ill-treatment had gone on
for nearly two hours a policeman
made his way through the throng
He poised himself and leveled kick
at the mans soles. According to
police experience, such a kick should
have stirred the most bibulous person
ever born. But the man in front of
the Galilee Mission did not move. The
policeman looked around at the
crowd sheepishly.
"G'wan!" he shouted. Stand
back"
When the crowd made a pretense
of scattering the policeman bent
over the mans lips. He held his ear
close to them for a second and then
stood up straight.
