bAbY'S ARRIVAL
1HA[TS DIVORCE
IN TANGO CASE
Husband Renounces Broadway
'Trotteries' When He Hears the
Stork Has Paid Visit.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE ar
rival Of the stork with a boy at the
home Of Mrs. Pearl Levy, wife OF
Nathan Levy, real estate operator,
has caused a reconciliation, and the
action for separation begun by Mrs.
Levy has been dropped.
The action was to have come up in
Supreme Court, but when the case
was called Henry F. Mela, attorney
for Mr.. Levy, stepped to the bar and
said that events had so shaped them
selves that all parties to the action
wished it discontinued. He then an
neunced that what the courts. the
families of the young couple and the
law had failed to accomplish had
been brought about by eight pounds
of pink chubbiness arriving at the
Levy home.
Mr.. Levy met his wife in a tango
parlor and they eloped to New Jer-
sey, were married and hurried back
in time to have another dance before
the night was ended. But, according
to Mrs Levy, who is is years old, her
husband did not stop seeking the en-
tertainment of Broadway after they
were wed. In fact, she alleged, when
they went to Far Rockaway last sum-
mer. where they occupied one of her
father-i laws houses, her husband
found it so dull that he packed his
grip and hurried back to New York.
The separation occurred just eight
months after they were married.
Mrs. Levy sought the service of a
lawyer and an action for separation
followed. Justice Newburger decided
she was entitled to $50 a week pend
ing the trial.
Justice Cohalan formally ended the
litigation, when the fact that there
had been a reconciliation was con-
firmed by Mrs. Joseph NJ. Bleyer,
mother Of Mrs. Levy.
Il am happy to say that my daugh-
ter and her husband are reconciled."
she said "Oh. yes! outside parties

Poor Babies Are a
Menace, He Says

NEW YORK, March 14.-Dr. Will
liam ]. Robinson. president of the So
ciety of Medical Sociology, comment
ing on the report of the Registrar of
the Board of Health which shows the
birth rate in New York is decreasing,
said he did not regard decrease in the
birth rate as deplorable in itself.
The evil, he said, was in the fact
that the decrease is among the more
intellectual. the more highly educated.
THE tendency" declared DR.. Rob
inson, "is for the births in the lower
classes to predominant and that is a
grave menace.
In order to prevent the lowest
strata of society eventually over
whelming the better and more Gull
tured strata of society there is only
one remedy. That is to permit physi-
clans and visiting nurses to instruct
the poor in the method of limiting
the number of their offspring"

NEW YORK. March 14.-Lieuten-

condition and Colonel Babbitt and a
crew of eighteen men are recovering
from the shock received when a new
twelve-inch gun being tested at the
proving grounds at Sandy Hook burst
and scattered pieces of the 1000 pound
breech block all over the reservation.
The huge iron fragments smashed
through the concrete wall where the
men had taken cover back of the gun.
The wooden platform on which they
were standing was shattered, and
several of the men were thrown down.
Lieutenant Pendleton, however, was
the only man injured.
Precautions are always taken at the
first firing of new gun, and always
the men get under cover until one
shot has been fired, so all possibility
of danger seemed to have been met
When the gun was fired there was a
roar, and the entire breech block,
shattered into big pieces, came flying
