1922 DETECTIVES

Feeble-Minded and
Epileptics.
tFrom a stan correspondent

TRENTON, N. j., April S.-The
commissioner of charities and cor
rections, Joseph P. Byers. today sub
mitted to Governor Fielder the fourth
annual report of the committee on
provision for the feeble-minded and
epileptics. The report is a compre-
hensive study Of the care and train
Ing of these wards of the State, and
several recommendations are made
for their relief and for the benefit of
society.
The report shows that in institu-
tions of every kind in New Jersey
there were on November l, 1912, 1,S22
feeble minded and epileptics and A.
422 known cases not in institutions,
making a total of 6,244 in the State.
Special school Glasses.
The recommendation of the COM
mittee include the rapid extension
of special classes in the public
schools for the care of children so
afflicted who reside in the cities and
larger school districts, the transfer
of the men and women from the
training school at Vineland as rapidly
as possible, and that steps be taken
looking toward the founding OF
new State training school.
The report suggests that these
training schools should receive chill
dren from outlying districts only. A
State appropriation of $500 is allowed
for every special class formed in
those districts where there are enough
to Justify such a class.
ss75.OOO Is Asked.
An appropriation Of at least $loo' :
600 is asked for new building at the
State village at Skillman for feeble
minded males A similar amount is
solicited for new buildings at the
state institution for feeble-minded
women. The report also recommends
that $4,000 be appropriated for new
buildings at the State village for
epileptic patients.

Olden, known as Nance the Nipper,
typifies the child of the street who
must make her living I'm the world.
In the opening scene Nance is intro
duced to US as the pal" of Tom
Dorgan, a pickpocket. He has stolen
a watch and passes it to her. To es-
cape the authorities she takes refuge
in the carriage of Bishop Van Wag-
enen
Feigning sleep and distraction.
Nance deceives the benevolent old
clergyman. She plays her cards so
well that the bishop believes her a
cultured girl who has become lost
and takes her home.
In this manner the girl enters
new and better environment. and
from that moment change occurs.
She meets the right man who sees the
good in her, never losing confidence
even when she is arrested for theft
of which she is innocent.
Having been shown that by using
her natural talent and by putting as
much energy in an honest vocation
as she had put into a dishonest one
as the pal of a pickpocket she can
not only succeed, but command the
respect of the community, Nance be-
comes a theatrical star
Mabel Brownell portrayed in grip
ping manner the little waif of the
street.
The right man" was Clifford Stork,
whose playing of the role of Latimer,
the man who saw the streak of good
in the little girl of the streets. was
all that could be desired. Joseph
Girard played the part of Tom Dor
gan, Nance's pickpocket friend The
other members of the company all
showed to advantage.

eBy our star correspondent.O


 Washington, Nov. 24-The engineer department of the District of Colum- bit has made a report to the District commissioners to the effect mex EtAS district is losing money by permitting the collection of garbage by private contractors The result of the re- bort has been that the commission has ordered a survey to determine what may be done in the way Of having a munieipal collection Of the city's waste
 The engineer departments figures indicate that the city can take over the collection of garbage which is maintained at an annual cost of $S, 400, and provide the service. at a profit by reason of the revenue to be derived from the sale of the materials reduc- Cd from the waste.
 < The clean city committee also favors that the city take up the collection of ashes and refuse although 1t does not believe it can do 1t any cheaper than. doHs by the contractors but 1t looks. for an advantage in the ex- tension Of service
 The engineering department will fa- vor a rnunicipaIly owned garbage plant which it figures will pay for it. self As the laws of Congress forbid the letting of the collection and dis posal contracts for longer than i've years it is estimated that the city besides paying aprof1t to the contrac- tors has been paying for a new coll lection equipment and. ne wdisposal plant every five years.
