WOODEN DUTY LEAK IMMENSE
1T is ASSERTED FRAUDS WILL
EXCEED $4,000, GOO.
Are Far Greater Than Those In
Sugar Swind.a ..

New York. - Assis tant United
States Attorney Whitley declares
that the wooden duties frauds against
which Collector William Loeb, Jr,
has begun a campaign will prove the
most ~stupendous swindle yet disclosed
at this port since the government be-
gan its investigation into customs
leaks.
1t is said that the losses in duties
claimed by the government will
amount to upward of $4,000, 900.
In the sugar cases. which previous
ly held first place In the amount of
money involved, h full extent of the
frauds was never ~ascertained, but the
government obtained restitution of
more than $2.000.000 from the import
ers.
The government seeks to
all the money claimed to be lost in
the last five years by alleged false in
voices for importations made by Jo-
seph Brooks & Co.. manufacturers of
woolens, worsteds and Innings. of
Bradford. England. and this city. As
sistant Attorney Whitney said:
This is the biggest a o; the
kind the government has ever had.
The frauds involve several wooden
manufacturing firms in England. The
total mount of the duties which the
government has lost through these i'm
portation frauds is much greater than
in the sugar underweighiug cases"

CARING FOR BABIES
OLD FASHIONED METHODS BEST
SAYS WRITER.
All the Rules of Modern A~ntiseptie
Hygiene Can Never Take the
Place of Mothers Caressing
and Coddling.

The health department Of New York
has issued a special bulletin on babies,
containing some sixteen rules for ny
gienfc limitations to the infant indus
try. Don't play with the baby" Don't
try to amuse the baby" Don't kiss
the baby" Don't bounce the baby ur
and down." ETC., etc.
1t is a great satisfaction to think
that most mothers do not read the
rules of the health department. 1t Ia
pleasant to reflect that mothers and
babies were here before health depart
ments. Such rules, If enforced, would
be the deadliest asset of race suicide
What's the use of having a baby Il

health department, all hey coulc
think of doing was to keep the infant
happy. And a big warty man went
about all day saying to himself. "He
rasled my finger-damn little cuss.'
The health department would have
swooped down on Roaring Camp an6
sawed of all the fingers, that the baby
might not be contaminated.
1t is probably an old-fashioped no
ton, but somehow l can't help feeling
that I'd rather have a mother bring ur
a baby than to turn him over to the
antiseptic mercies of e health depart
ment that wears side whiskers.
OF course. parents are fond and
foolish-thank God. OF course, they
do a lot of cooling and gurgling and
cuddling and act like a crazy horse.
But o never saw a baby who didn't
thrive on the ridiculous attentions
which its lunatic parents bestowed
upon 1t.
You can raise chickens In an incu.
bator. but all through their young
lives they go about lonesome for some
thing they miss, and they don't know
what t is. But it's the c~lucking of the
old foolish hen. If an incubator could
cluck and sputter 1t would raise a
better grade of chickens. A health de-
p%artn.ent e do a lot of wise things,
but it can't do any of the necessary
foolish things which make parenthood
delightful. satisfactory and successful.
There is nothing in the world quite
so hygienic as love-nothing so anti.
septic and preserving as affection,
and when you try to substitute medi.
cal rules for the tender caress of the
brooding mother you simply take
the baby's fodder and put him
on q sawdust diet.
