CHICAGO BEHIND THE EAST
DR.. Hart Saws Other Cities Arc Clos
Ing Orphan Asyiums and Putting
Children In Homes.

Chicago@"Chicago is far behind
the east in the care of the orphan
and neglected child, although the east
took up and followed along the lines
laid down by Chicago years ago.
Orphan asylums in the future Will
be unheard Of. In some states they
have already disappeared.
Chicago must wake up and make
haste along the lines originated by 1t
self, by which other cities and states
have profited."
DR.. Hastings II. Hart, who Is an ex-
pert in the care Of neglected children,
spoke these words In an address be-
fore the City club the other day.
"The east, especially Baltimore and
Philadelphia, have developed at re-
markable pace, after following in the
footsteps of Chicago said the speak
err Those cities have used family
homes in providing for the motherless
and fatherless and have closed up
their orphan asylums.
Chicago has not kept up with the
pace. Boston receives 1925, 900 year
for the support of It's orphans. New
York, exclusive Of Brooklyn, Is given
100000 year for the support OF tho
ehildren's society, while Philadelphia
gives ss5, 900 for the same purposes.
New York City has $20,000.00 In
vested for the sake of these children.
while Chicago has but onehalf that
sum, or possibly three-quarters.
Il have a list Of thirteen orphan
asylums being closed In Massachus-
etts and twelve in Indiana"
DR. Hart, while declaring that Chi
cago was tagging behind in the matter
of orphaned and neglected children,
insisted that the orphan asylums now
conducted in Chicago were excellent
in every way and the finest institu-
tons of the kind But home and fam
lily life. he said. should be provided
for the children and there should be
no more asylums built in Chicago.

FISH THAT LOVE DYNAMITE
Winsted Comm Variety That Feed

Winsted, Conn.-Highlaw lake fish
are at a discount owing to the dis
covery that they dine on dynamite
and like It.
Workmen who are blasting In the
neighborhood made the discovery by
accident. Since then they have
amused themselves by breaking little
bits from dynamite cartridges and
throwing these crumbs" overheard to
see the perch grab for them. House
keepers regard the experiment with
disapproval. They fear the dynamite
fed fish would fry too noisily. and In
stead of reposing quietly on a plat

IF man wants to know the essen

and persons fond Of 1t are emotional
and full of life. Orange stands for
pride and ambition. Yellow signifies
wisdom. Those who favor violet are

BLACK should never be worn under

CHOSEN SENATOR FROM MAINE

No climate in the country has been
regarded as less encouraging to the
growth of Democratic timber than
that of the Pine Tree state, but since
the thaw of last September the mete-
geological conditions have been al
tered.
1t was admitted by some political
Jeremiahs that a Democratic COVER
nor might slip through the breach in
the Republican lines and intrench
himself at Augusta. but the most en-
thusiastic visionary hardly dreamed
of a Democratic legislature or DEM
ocratic senator. Not since 1856, when
Hannibal Hamlin crossed the Kenne-
bee, had Democratic senator been
sent to the national capital from
Maine, and not for thirty years had
any New England state elected a Dem
ocratic senator.
So, as Democratic senator from
Maine, Charles r. Johnson will natu-
rally he the center of interest when he
