The thing being explained, the man

dado.
But the smile quickly faded from
his face. The egg had thawed.

MISS zINDEL GOES FREE
Sentence Suspended, but She
Must Try to Repay Victims.

Justice Blanchard. In the Criminal
Branch OF the Supreme Court, suspended
sentence yesterday on Miss Rose ZindeL
who was president Of the Zindel Manu-
featuring Company. makers Of shell Jew
elry. who was found guilty Of forgery
I'm the second degree. The court took into
consideration the previous good reputation
Of the woman. In a fatherly way he told
her to try to make restitution to the per-
sons whom she had defrauded out OF about
$4,000. She sobbed her promise to do all
In her power to do so.
A lawyer representing clients who had
lost money by the acts OF Miss Zindel OPP
posed the showing OF any consideration
for the woman, but Justice Blanchard de-
clded otherwise.
"I have reached the conclusion that
there is but ono duty for me here under
all the circumstances.' he said. "and that
is to put this woman In the hands OF
probation officer, in the hope that she may
be able TO do something toward helping
those whom she defrauded and robbed to
get their money. ! am going to suspend
sentence"
Then, addressing the weeping woman.
the justice said to her: "Rose Zindel. 1
want you to thoroughly understand what
suspended sentence means. 1t does not
mean that you go scot free OF the crime
TO which you have pleaded guilty, but 1t
means that you are given another chance
Just so sure as you fail to make all the
amends possible and help these people
all you can I will have you back here.
Now go to work and help these people get
back what il theirs"

WHERE is YOUR BREAD MADEa
The President Of the Housewives League Says Women
Are Responsible for Unsanitay Bakeries

OF their province. Ihey are just begin
ming to realize that the household indus
tries which have been taken over by the
factories ought to be just as carefully
or even more carefully inspected than
when they were being performed in the
homes. They feel now. and rightly. that
1t concerns them just as much how the
bread Is made as IL it were made In their
own kitchens"
Mrs. Heath has received SO many In
quiries from interested housewives that
proposed meeting Of the league to dis
cuss the situation has been changed to
a public mass meeting. s
This meeting will be held in the Metro
politan Life auditorium on the afternoon
Of December 13. We are choosing the
afternoon" said Mrs. Heath. so that the
bakers may be present to enter the Discus
sion. We want to get to understand each
other. and we housewives don't want to
ask anything unreasonable"
Miss Gibbs has little more difficult
proposition to handle in her work. for
while the members of the Housewives
League probably all realize the harm
made possible by unsanitary bakeries.
most of the people with whom Miss Gibbs
comes into contact have to be shown the
difference between sanitary and unsani-
tary.
"The first thing try to teach" said
Miss Gibbs, 'Is that the women must not
carry the bread about on the streets un-
wrapped and tucked under their arms, rub
bing against their clothes, or on their
heads, as some Of the Italians do.
II also encourage them TO do their own
inspecting Of the bakeries. after trying to
make them see how important II is that
their chief article Of diet be clean and
good.
II believe that basement bakeries arc
dangerous. because 1t Is almost inpossi-
BILE to keep them clean and we'll aired, and
think that any legislation leading to the
abolIshment Of these unsanitary places Is
valuable, but We cannot expect to accom-
plish everything by legislation. Educa-
tion is necessary too. and I and all Of
my teachers are busy trying 10 dispeli
some Of the almost unbelievable ignorancel
that exists in some parts Of the city"

Kitchen Association, of No. 1 West ath
street. which for many years has been

support this philanthropy.
last summer 2,3l0 babies were under the
care OF nine stations maintained by the
association in congested centres. and Of
these only twelve died from digestive dis
orders and only twenty from all causes.
This small mortality was result of the
instruction In feeding and care of babies
given to the mothers by doctors and
nurses at the stations. Tne death rate IN
this city among infants is lls in every
thousand.

tions Nocturnal Ragtime.

The famous suit Of the Paramount
Hotel. Jersey City. the managers OK
which are said to prefer dogs to babies,
was before Judge Erwin in the "a DIS
trict Court yesterday in the action to
recover $50 from Clinton 8. Dow, New
York stock broker, on account OF two
months rent due under his lease. Mer-
rift Lane. the lawyer for the hotel COM
pany. endeavored to exclude mention Of
the dogs and babies, but the defendants
counsel squeezed 1t In.
Mr.. Lane then said the hotel objected
to Mr.. Dow not because OF his baDy put
because he played the piano after 10
o clock at night and threw beer bottles
from the back window.
Mr.. Dow testified that In July. 1910. he
called on J. H. Darlington. secretary OF
the Fairmount Company. and made ap-
plication for larger apartments, which
had been promised him when he became
a tenant. He was told he could not have
them. He said they were essential. as he
expected an increase In his family. The
witness said Mr.. Darlington told him ho
did not want any squawking babies
around. Mr.. Dow replied that little
baby would disturb no one. but Mr.. Car
rington was infiexible.
He said he was not married, but that he
had been informed that babies, large or
small. were annoying. Mr.. Dow an
swered well, II / can't have more
room / will certainly have to move"
Darlington replied, according to the
witness: We'll, move then. We would
sooner have you move than stay

Mr.. Dow IL II were not a fact that COM
plants had been made to the hotel man.
agement that he. Dow, was noisy. threw
beer bottles out of the window and
thumped the piano after 10 o'clock at
night.
Mr.. Goldenhorn objected, and the ques-
ton was ruled out.
James B. HOPPER, who was manager OF
the Fairmount when Dow vacated. testi-
fed that he was instructed to tell Dow he
could not have larger apartments.
Mr.. Darlington said he could not recall
any reference to the baby during his
conversation with Dow.
Leslie n. Brown, one OF the directors
of the Fairmount admitted there was
objection to babies. but he could not
remember any ban on beer.
Mrs Ella I.ohmeyer testified she was
compelled to move because the manage
ment objected to babies.
Judge Erwin reserved decision and IN

THE well-to-do housewife who does not

Of her bread supply is quite as much to

from their lethargy; and Miss Winifred
Gibbs, cooking expert for the New York
Association for Improving the Condition
Of the Poor. is waging as hot struggle
to educate the East Side In the willy ways
Of pernicious germs.
Mrs Heath says: I'VE are urging all
women, whether they are members Of the
league or not, to go to their bakers In
perfectly friendly fashion and ask to see
where the bread is baked and the in
gradients that are put into the pies and
cakes. No baker who has nothing to
fear will object to her inspection; expert
ence has shown us that.
But the women mustn't think her
whole duty has been done when she has
inspected the place where the bread Is
mixed and baked. She must look over
the shop, and let her fight shy of any
baker who displays his rolls on an un-
covered counter. where they may be fn-
gered by every one.
There are several bakers who are send
ing out their bread wrapped and sealed.
and this is very commendable. I don't
see any reason why all bread exposed for
sale should not be so protected"
