PEN FILLER USED
AS NURSING BOTTLE

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-The cries Of
baby triplets deserted by their moth
or in the City Hall Police Station,
Jersey City, gave Lieutenants Graf.
Galway and Higgins an interesting
half hour before the babies were re-
stored 10 a condition OF tranquility,
The result being accompanied by ad-
ministering milk that the officers pui'-
chased from a passing vender The
mother was Mrs T. Tippy, whose
maternal instinct reassertod itself
after she had left her offspring for
an hour
The triplets had been carried sleep
ing to a quiet corner of the Station
House while the police were OF
guard for a moment Their presence
was not discovered until they began
TO cry, and then the policemen, all
men of family in whom the milk Of
human kindness Is abundant, were
compelled to do something for the re-
lief of the trio, whose cries we're in
sistent.
After much cogitation Lieutenant
Graf suggested that milk be given
to them. The milk was procured,
and was about to be given raw" by
Lieutenant Galway when Lieutenant
Higgins stayed his hand NAY" said
he, don't you know, Galway. that
babies of such tender age mustn't have
milk unless II is sterilized and dilut-
ed? Man aliyei haven't you read
about the great infant mortality that
results from improper foeding?"
The Lieutenant's advice was fol-
lowed. and the milk was diluted with
water and then heated over o gas
jet. The next step was how to give
the milk TO the squalling infants
there being no nursing bottle I'm the
station. But Lieutenant Graf was
equal 10 the occasion. for he produc-
ed the glass filler of his fountain
pen, suggested its use, and his idea
was put into execution. The filler
was plunged into the milk and as
each baby was passed to him Lieuten-
ant Galway squirted the fluid into
the opened mouth When the triplets
had been fed they were replaced IN
the corner, whore they promptly
/ lapsed again into slumber.
Later the mother returned for the
/ babies.
