SEEKS
CUSTODY Of CHILD
Runs With Her in Arms From Home
of Friendless Cruel To Her,
Is Wife's Story.

Joseph Kramanchi, about 2s years
OF age, No. 1905 Dubois-st., made a
desperate, but unsuccessful, effort to
obtain his eight-year-old daughter,
Thursday, when he called at the
Home OF the Friendless, where the
mother had placed the girl.
Kramanehi demanded that he be al
lowed to see his daughter, but as the
Institution Is quarantined on account
OF case of scarlet fever, he was told
that this was impossible. He argued
for some time, but finally paid the
child's board bill to date and left.
However, on crossing the yard,
Kramanchi noticed his daughter In
the playground, with other children.
He called her to the fence and when
she came, lifted her over and ran for
street car. But the nurses at the
home were on the watch and the
father was caught as he was boarding
the car and forced to give up the girl.
The authorities at the home say
that they cannot give the girl to the
father, as she was placed In their
custody by the mother, although they
admit that the father did pay the
girls bills.
The father, who has appealed to
Superintendent Jayne of the Society
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Chill
dren. ia a foreigner, either Polish or
German, who cannot speak a word OF
English. He speaks fairly good Ger
man. He IL q bright looking man and
tells his story with evident sincerity.
He attacks his wife's character. On
June 26, he asserts, she took $3.50
and his daughter and went away with
some man. He says that he has a
home for the daughter with his house
keeper, at No. 1906 Dubois-st., and
wants TO have the girl with him. He
promises to take good care of her.
But the mother has a different
story. She has been employed at the
home of William Walker, No. S5 Col
burn-pl., as a domestic, and the Walk
er family say that since she began to
work for them, a month ago, she has
been q model. She lis a comoly,
motherly looking woman of about 27
years OF age.
She leaves the Walker home very
infrequently and was never known to
have been with other men.
She says her husband was cruel to
her and for that reason she left him.
She placed the girl In the Warren
ave. institution because she could not
take care of her at the Walker home.
She claims that she paid the first
weeks board bill.
Mrs. Magill, of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
will investigate the case and deter
mine to whom the child should go.

AIRING THE BED CLOTHES

An Englishphysician calls etten-
ton to what he believes to be dam
ger unsupported by many, in the
making of BEDS namely, the custom
of throwing back the-bed clothes in
the morning ''to air the bed,'' over
'thezhack rail of the bedstead or over
a chair placed at the foot of the

mouth and nose at night is often
thus thrown or drops down into di.

may be clean or may not be so, and
if the passage at the foot of the bed
is not very wide anybody going up
stairs with dirty slippers OF boots be-
fore the bed is remade, and passing
round the end of the bed would also
probably trample on the part that
comes in contact with ones mouth
at night time. The writer suggests
that to avoid this danger the foot
rail of the bedstead should be arti-
ficially raised in height by another
rail somewhat in the form of capt.

CALAIS AND LIGHTHOUSE.

Calais is rather an untidy place
for French town. The Place
d'Armes, where the tower of the Ho-
tel de Vile has remained since the
fifteenth century, is the center spot.
Here Calais meets its friends and
has its cafe noir. In the square,
towering out of the roofs of sur
rounding houses and dwarfng them,
is the old Watch tower. Since 1913
it has been superseded as light
house by the magnificent one at pres
ent in use. Never shall l forget the
effect of this lighthouse as I stood
under it that night. The revolving
spoSes of light cast away into filmy
space, in all directions, looked like
the ribs of huge umbrella being
turned by the white handle, which
was the lighthouse tower. So tall is
this that its revolving light can be
seen from a distance of 20 miles at
sea.-Wide World Magazine.

THE HoRsELESs AGE.

Though often, spoken of as though

less age is far in the future, if the
statistics presented by the Live Stock

up. 1t is small wonder that when
so many automobiles are seen sour
rying about daily and when so many
people of all classes own the vehicles.
there being $4,000 machines in Mas

The great value Of all this lies in
the fact that greater number of
workers learn to Coz pe5ate with
each other inthe everyday fight on
the lines of the class struggle. We
are not so utopian as to believe that
the working class -emancipatlcn Ican
be achieved in the economic field.
The centralizing influence developed
by higher organization "f the
industry gives them social express
sion. And the special skill of the
workers will be ;!lowly but steadily
replaced by enforced general adap-
liability.
This immensely increases the
power Of those who control the
socially organized industries. The
unemployed can be used anywhere
and every where. And the uLo-
pianism which imagines that society
will become reactionary in its ulti-
mate expression with vocational
organization are the verieSt dreamer
The tendency of society is in the
direction of social organization and
the development of the general adap-
liability OF the workers, which will
enable them to exercise their ener-
gies in any direction that society
needs their service. The wider the
economic organization the higher
the aspiration of the workers. More
and more the workers will realize
the necessity Of the conquest Of the
public bowers for the purpose of
achieving their emancipation.
The pu bile powers are to be used
to dispossess the capitalist class of
the ownerhsip and control of the
socially organized industries, not
for the benefit of any special groups
but for society as whole. When
the workers make themselves su-
prone in getting possession of the
public powers society as whole
will be their concern. By stripping
the capitalists of power, class distinc-
tions will disappear.

A HINT TO HoSTEsSES.

Don't give parties-except actual
masquerades-in which you must ask
your guests to appear in any special
costume. They dislike the trouble,
and rightly feel that they are coming
to be entertained and not to help in
the performances. Sometimes the
command to twear white shirtwaist
and skirt" or represent famous
book" really means great deal Of
trouble to its recipient. If the sue
cess Of your party depends on this
cooperation on the part of your
guests, by all means give another

PROTECTION FOR THE BABY.

Staten island sets its own fashions
in taking care of babies. A summer
sojourner in that borough saw 8
bunch of small wire screens resemb-

Tompkinsville store window.
"What are those things for 2" was
the query.
"Screens to protect the babies
faces at the Italians Sunday out

their gala occasions every carriage
load of celebran>s pelts every other
carriage load with candy pellets as
big as pigeon egg and hard as a
rock. If they hit the babies in the

more careful and they tie screen

SOUTHEY's INDUSTRY.

Southey probably deserves to rank
as the most industrious of authors.
In the greater part of his life he
spent IS hours day in composition.
He had six tables in his library. He
wrote poetry at one,. history at an
other, criticism at a third, and SO on
with the other subjects upon which
he was engaged. He once described
to Nine. de Stael the division of his
time: Two hours before breakfast
for history, two hours for reading
after, two hours for the composition
of poetry, two hours for criticism,
and so on through all his working
day. "And pray, Mr.. Southev,"
asked madame, "when do you
