constituted official matchmaker of France he has brought about hum dreds of weddings.
 In his great work for the protec-7 ton of the health of the youngsters, M. Loubet launched a, society which has waged unceasing warfare on dirt, flies, ignorance, bad air, impure milk, and the adu1teration of food. In Par is he built an anti-tubercuIosis dis pensary. raising the fund by a na- tional subscription of two cents a per- son. Good food and plenty of it and the open air cure have saved the lives of thousands of Parfsian children Father Loubet has started a whole new science, called puerfcu1ture, or child culture, and has interested prac- tically, all of the workingmen's orga- nizations of France in the movement AS a result, while race suicide'' is prevalent in France, the mortality rate among babies has been vastly reduced. France has fewer babies than any other country, in accordance with population. but it brings far more of them to maturity Inr1907 the infant mortality was 150, 900; in 1912 it was only 74,000, or less than half. 'It isn't question of how many babies are born in any country says M. Loubet, but of how many are saved. In decreasing infant nor | tality, France leads the worId.' And M. Loubet might have added, except that he is a modest man, that he was largely responsible for this condition. Credit is also due to Dr. Alphonse Hergott, founder of the Baby's Smile Society. who spent a large private fortune in advancing his life-work- spent every cent of it, and was sorry he didn't have more.
 M. Loubet is a small, slender, some what undersized man. He carries a walking stick in his morning pedes- trian trips across Paris-carrfes it us-

FATHER, AGED S4,
 MURDERS HIS SON

Paris, Dec. 31-An extraordinary tragedy occurred last night. A popu- lar English vaudeville performer known the stage as Harry Fragson, old father. Fragson had dined at a restaurant and while on the way to the theater where he has been ap- bearing called at the apartment which he occupied with his aged father in the Rue de Ia Fayette. He found the long, time before it was opened by his father. High words ensued and suddenly the father seemed to lose all control of himself. He drew 8 re- volver and the son fell with bullet in his head.
 living insthe adjoining apartments and the police. The son was hurried to the Larfboisiere hospital where he died.
 The father was taken to a police station. The feeble old man was greatly shaken and trembIed as he told in 9 omewhat rambling way his story to the police commissioner. He had bought the revolver, he said, with the intention of committing suicide because life had become unbearable. His son had brought a woman to the house in spite of repeated protests.
 Last night, he declared, his son was accompanied by the same woman and reproached him for keeping him wait ing. He meant to kill himself in their presence and drew the pistol. What passed he did not understand, but in stead of putting a bullet into his own temple; he fired at his son. Why, he could not explain,
 The janitor of the apartment house and neighbors informed the police they had often heard the father and son quarreling, but never, dreamed

BULGARS PRAISE
 AMERICAN CLERGY
 FOR RELIEF WORK
Natives In Dire Straits As Re-
 suit Of Ten Months War.

London. Dec. S1-M. Michael Ivan MadJaroT, the Bulgarian Minister at London, discussing the distress in his country following the war. said:
 The present situation is indeed very grave. The distress is un- paralle1ed. Men, women and chil- dren are starving in the villages.
 There are nearly 100000 refu- gees practically homeless, without of them are agricu1turists and now, with hard winter and the ground under snow, they are deprived of the possibility of work.
 Reports of the serious conditions and the suffering are not exag- gees, who have left their homes are entirely dependent on Bulgarian and outside support.
 Greeks and Servians Included.
 They include Greeks and Ser vians as well as BuIgars. When you remember that Bulgaria had to so through three wars in ten months and that at best it is not a rich country, it is easy to see the serious difficulty facing Bulgaria in dea1ing with the present problems of dis tress and famine.
 ''The government has done its best to set the refugees down in ne~. territories, but it is one thing to take families. there and another to provide for their wants through the winter.
 ..If they can live until summer and start their crops the problem will be simplifed. The task of finding homes is overwhelmingly difficult.
 Refugees Are Ousted.
 Originally the refugees were hon god iT T,a but upon the return of the soldiers from the war the barracks were re- quired for them and the miserable creatures had to be distributed through the villages, where the peasantfy themselves were feeling the disastrous effects of the war
 The whole male population had to go out to fight against the Turks, and Bulgarian was exhausted thereby. It is very difficult for the govern ment to let the outside world know the real condition of the country The need for immediate help cannot be too greatly emphasized.
 Many American Missions Already the government, with it's l emptied eXchequer, has expGnded two millions of francs :n relieving the immediate distress. which will be greater in the next three months unless there is assistance.
 All over Bulgaria there are Prot estant missions conducted almost en- tirely by Am erican clergy1aen. They have done miracles in distributine help, being in constant touch with their churches in America l. is through them probably that more help can be obtained.
 The American people may learn ! through these compatriots how sore l ly help is really needed

Peachtres Paving Nsedsd.

Members of the Board of County
Commissioners declared Wednesday
that something would be done as soon
as possible to repair Peachtree Street
from Fifteenth Street to Buckhead.
What action would be taken was not
stated definitely, but the Commission
ers are at work on a plan and expect
to announce ii soon.
1t will be recalled that the Com
missioners met recently and agreed
to remedy conditions at once" but
that a postponement was later or
dered. In the meantime the paving Is
bad and property owners and travel
ers are beginning to complain.
Peachtree is used to reach town by
all the people in the upper portion of
Fulton County and of adjacent coun-
ties who do not use Piedmont Ave-
nue. or Marietta Street, and the vol
ume of traffic is such that there is al
ways a demand for a travelable thor
oughfare. The condition of the street
is now almost intolerable, and that is
why ready relief is sought. The pres
ent paving is several years old, and
the opinion is expressed that the
commission will soon be obliged to
lay entirely new paving.
