CITY JEWELLERS HARK
TO CALL OF WOODS
Thousands of Families Are Preparing
to Make Spring Exodus
from Town.

With the first warm days of spring
comes the longing for the country. with
it's woods filled with wild flowers, its
countless trees loaded with blossoms.
which fill the air with their perfume, and
hundreds of every class living in the
city become restless in the cooped-up
conditions of the city, and answer the
call of the freer rural life. This year
will prove no exception to the rule.
Hundreds of families living in the city
are preparing for moving day." May
/ will witness many of the rich leaving
for their country homes on the out
skirts of the city: numbers of the middle
class will move into the nearby suburbs,
and as many of the poorer people as
possible who have relatives living in the
will make their annual pilgrimage
into the country.
May / and October l are moving days
in Washington The first spring days
cause a general exodus from the city,
and the first chilly days of fall bring
them back into the city for the long
winter months The old saying of Ben
jamin Franklin that three moves equal
one fire. has no terrors for hundreds of
Washington families. who for years have
moved twice each year, and still have no
fear Of destruction.
These DAYS are busy ones in the real
state offices. The brokers are either
trying to find some suitable out-of-town
place for a client or to find a tenant
for house just vacated. Many other
families who would move to the country
# they could free themselves from their
leases are forced to remain in the city.
and have to content themselves with TAX
ing short weekend trips.

ditions affecting the health of babies, and

health rate of a nation than the DEATH
rate Of its babies under year DID," said
Miss L.athrop yesterday. 1T used to be
medical theory that it was good
thing that weakly children died in in
fancy, which meant that only the strong
and well should grow up. But today
medical authorities say the death Of
these babies handicaps their mothers and
sisters"
The investigators sent out by the bu-
reau studied carefully the various periods
of child life, including the dread teething
period. the school days, and even the
period of adolescence.
For many years the government has
spent great sums to study and prevent
diseases of animals, but the Children's
Bureau is the frs. effort to do this for
sickly children. Miss Lathrop declares
there were 29.5o0,Oo0 children that would
be served through her Office.

He threw these into rear pew and en-

mysteriously disappeared from this
city. over a week ago, was brought
back to his home, early Tuesday morn
ing. from Twin Mountains, n. H., by
his brother-in-l law, A. o. Hall of AL
bion. The runaway youth was greatly
surprised when mir. Hall arrived in
Twin Mountains and told the boy he
must return home, yet the lad was
willing and said he had had enough of
working on farm He had been en-
ployed by w. Burbank and was do
ing chores about the place for his room
and board. Young Shay reached Twin
Mountain, April "a, and registered at
the Brookside Inn Hotel. The following
day. the landlords daughter saw an
account in the Boston paper of the
youth who had disappeared from Wa
terville The description conceded ex-
actly with that of the boy working for
Burbank, and Mrs. Shay was quickly
informed with the result that Mr..
Hall went for the youth, who, up to
The time he was accosted by Mr.. Hall,
did not know he had been located.
The boy was reluctant to talk about
his running away, except to say that
he did II with the thought of getting
out of the financial trouble he had
placed himself in. He returned to Wa
terville, Tuesday afternoon to re-
sumo his studies at the institute, and
says he can make up back work SO as
to be able to graduate in June.

being the establishment of an auto
route between this city and Farming

town and Waterville. That the latter
project would be a great benefit to all
towns along the line goes without
saying. This line would also serve to
make Waterville a greater trade CEN
