OF an old shoe brought to him to re-

Of the gems, disappeared. 1t was said
at her home, 4065 Sheridan road, that
she had left the city.

WOMAN HEADS CHILD BUREAU

Miss Julia c. Lathrop Of Chicago,
now and for many years a colleague
Of Jane Adams in the work Of Hull
house, has been appointed chief OF
the recently created children's bureau
Of the national government. The nom
ination was sent to the senate the
other day by President Taft.
Miss Lathrop is the first woman
ever selected to direct bureau Of the
federal government. Moreover, to her
will be committed the foundation and
development Of the activities which
the national government is about to
undertake to further the welfare of
children.
1t Is expected she will build up an
institution which will be an important
branch Of the government service in
the investigation Of conditions Of child
life and in corelating and accelerating
the activities of individual states in
bettering such conditions.
The appointment Of Miss Lathrop
was urged upon President Taft by so.
