The film shows the distress and
hardship imposed upon mothers with
little babies to support and no hus-
bands to do the bread winning II
also contrasts the results obtained at
institutions that care for large num-
Der of babies with the results when
the little ones have individual care
at home. The moral Of the picture
is that no institution however per-
fectly administered can take the place
OF a real home. Sterilized bottles and
well inspected wards are good but
they cannot make up for the absence
Of mother love. In the picture the
baby that is left at an institution dies
while its twin sister cared for in q
private home lives and thrives.

the boys story Justinian obeyed the
angelic command.-London Chronicle.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Vincent AS
tor is planning to transform his mag
nifccnt estate at Rhinebeck into q
modern Utopia as far as conditions of
labor are concerned.
AS the first step in what the young
man terms "industrial democracy,
just before sailing today on his regu-
lar week end cruise on the Norma, he
conferred with many of the 1000 men,
women and children employed at Fern
cliff
''I desire to get into the closest pos

them. elf you have any complaint or
suggestion to make, come to me per-
sonally each Saturday morning. l will
see You and talk to you as man to man,
and not as employer to employee
Mr.. Astor half expected that in re-
sponse TO his invitation dozens would
flock TO him with complaints. Instead,
while small army assembled, only
three employees came forward TO speak
to him. These simply wanted TO greet
the young owner of Ferncliff and thank
him for what he has done for them
since he has undertaken the manage
ment of the estate.
Last September, when he had def.
nitely decided not to return to Hnr.
ward, Mr.. Astor said he would look
after the estate and its employees to
the best of his ability, In the last
few months he has gradually raised
wages until the payroll at Ferncliff
shows an increase of approximately
100000 year.
