MASKED ROBBERS
BREAK INTO JAIL
One Prisoner at Warrior
Run Loses S29 in Cash.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. 15.-Two masked
robbers made an entirely new record
early to-day by breaking into the town
Jail at Warrior Run, Pa, near here, and
bursting open the door of the cell in
which Stanley Jandus. the only prisoner,
was confined, robbed him at the point OF
a revolver of SO. The burglars then es-
capped and Jandus, who was being held on
a trivial charge, finding himself free
went out and notified the police Like
nearly all such places in small towns the
Jail was not guarded.
Jandus was committed last night by
Burgess Thomas and was to have been
brought to the prison in this city to-day.
He was alone in the lookup when about =
O'Clock he was awakened by the smash
ing of a window in the corridor. Looking
up he saw the two masked men twist the
bars aside and crawl through into the
jail
Reaching his cell, one of the robbers
thrust revolver through the door and
ordered Jandus to hand over his money.
He protested that he had none, where
upon they secured an ak. smashed the
lock from the door and went through
Jandus' pockets, getting S29 Then.
threatening to shoot him if he made any
outcry, the two men made a quick get
away.
Finding himself free, Jandus, after
waiting until he thought he was safe,

NATIONAL AID FOR
CHILD WELFARE
Senate Acts on Proposition
to Establish Bureau.

The child welfare movement has re-
ceived a decided impetus by the action
OF the Senate in passing a bill to add
to the Interior Department a children's
bureau. 1t is proposed to have this bu-
reau investigate and report upon all
matters pertaining to the welfare of
children and child life. It is especially
charged with investigating the questions
CT infant mortality, the birth rate, physi-
cal degeneracy, orphanage, juvenile de-
linquency and juvenile courts, desertion,
dangerous occupations, accidents and dis
eases OF children, employment, and to
report upon legislation affecting children
in the several States and Territories, and
such other facts as have bearing upon
the health and character of children.
The bill has been indorSed by several
national organizations concerned in the
welfare of children, such as the national
child labor committee, the National Fed
Grafton OF WOman's Clubs, and was re-
Gently unanimously indorsed by the con-
ference on dependent children which as
sembled in this city a few weeks ago.
with a membership of some 800 persons,
prominent for their interest in the well
fare OF children. Commissioner Neill, OF
the Bureau of Labor, also favored the
measure.
II was stated in the Senate that other
nations have already advanced beyond
our own in researches of this kind. Ger
many. for example. has a very complete
and thorough system of research and
publicity concerning all the facts relat-
ing to child life. The British Parliament
has just passed what is known as the
"children's act" properly styled the
"children's charter" with the double
function of investigation and administra-
tion. The distinction between our form
of government and that of the British
empire was clearly recognized by the
committee which had the bill in charge,
and the purpose Of the bureau is merely
to investigate and collect facts.

FASHIONS FADS AND
r" FANCIES IN THE SHOPS
By DOROTHY AVERY HOWARD.

If you haven't already visited the
show now in full blast at a we'll
known hotel in Vermont avenue, near
H street, you want to hurry and get
in the procession.
While it is essentially a mans ex-
hibit of the latest tailoring fashions,
yet the piece ue resistance which at
tracts daily throngs of both mascu-
line and feminine visitors is the new
harem skirt, designed by a Washing
ton woman and illustr ated by a very
charming model who is very much
alive. The costume is Of garnet crepe
cloth, with a natty little bolero jacket
trimmed with black braid. and fancy
ornament of Bulgarian embroidery.
The skirt. which has caused so much
OF sensation, seems modest enough
until the model shows how II will look
when its wearer boards a street car,
then the pantaloons are exhibited
after the habit OF the Sultan's favor
ties, and one sees whence the name
of the skirt is derived. There are a
number OF other smart tailor made
gowns to be seen. designed by some
of the leading tailors of the city, to-
gether with all that is new in mems
clothes for spring, besides attractive
displays of spring hats, footwear,
jewelry, Peter Thomson suits for
girls and others.
