commented Secretary Busch, opening

The collection comprises nearly
every conceivable article that visitors
take TO Belle Isle. There are dozen
large envelopes containing so or more
tortoise shell combs, purses galore,
belt buckles, hat pins, and. as for UNI
brellas, they stand everywhere in the
vault

Hurlburt OF the juvenile court, and
Miss Josephine BleakieTof Boston, who
has been a volunteer charity worker
for 12 years The Rev, +, j. Van
Antwerp presided.
Monsignor Mcmahon declared that
charity is one of the greatest anti
dotes for socialism and he said that
women's charity organizations cover
the broadcast field OF any OF the
classes OF charity workers.
Or Kerby urged that charity work
ers make more OF an eflort TO go
among the people whom they aim to
help on a basis of greater equality
and with less condescecsion. He told
the story OF little girl. who upon
being entertained for day by a
wealthy woman. and who had been
told 10 behave HE lady. asked her

The other day park employees found
an overeoat on the island. II was
practically new and made OF expen-

on the island There is a big package
OF laundry in the collection. another
containing a baseball suit and still an
other containing a childs red sweater.
Included in the collection are more
than a dozen gold lockets with initials
engraved ON them. There Is an alarm
clock, cyclometer. a half-dozen lunch
tickets. watches and chains. Secre-
tary Busch is thinking OF getting out

giving just enough information TO the
persons who lost the articles TO
recognize the Identification, without
running any chance OF permitting
others to claim property they haven't

I'VE find money in the purses on

we found SIS in the bath house. The
man who had the room gave his name
and address in a Pennsylvania town,
