stood by a table on which were heap
ed bucketfuls of thick slices of fresh
bread. He saw the men accept large
bowls OF thick pea soup. The col
oneTs eyes flashed and with a smile
he suggested he would like to taste
it. Mr.. Whiting directed an attend :
ant to serve bowl to the colonel
and the eX-President ate il with evil
dent relish. He tried the coffee and
expressed his satisfaction.
The colonel approached several OF
the men and soon every one was con-
WINGED OF his identity. He asked each
man where he had come from. how
he got down and out and then he
inquired of Mr.. Whiting what would
be done to help the particular man
get on his feet again. He shook
hands with some OF the men and
spoke to them encouragingly. Mean
while one OF a group of the unem-
ployed sitting at a table said to his
comrade:
Gee, isn't it tough when an cx-
President has to eat this stuff?
Visits Departments.
The colonel was escorted TO the
women's department, where he spoke
TO some of the women. He seemed
specially interested in a woman who
with her baby had been deserted by
her husband and who was destitute.
He talked with her, learned her story
and then wanted to know, with a
show of eagerness, what would be
done for her.
Superintendent Whiting explained:
I'VE will try TO get her a place in
domestic service where she will be
able to keep her baby
Fine, fne," the colonel said.
With Mr. Whiting the ex-President
listed the bath rooms. where the men
are required to take baths before going
70 bed. He went to the rooms where
the clothing OF the guests are steTilised
and made ready for them in the morn
ing. He was interested in the sleeping
rooms and the facilities for fresh air.
All the time he was asking questions.
Mr. Whiting explained to the colonel
the need of a colony where men who
refused to work could be sent and
where men who could not obtain work
could be employed. Colonel Roosevelt
expressed the belief that such an insti-
tuition would prove to be an excellent
thing.
1t was said that the colonel will de-
liver a lecture on the unemployed and
give the proceeds for their benefit.

The colonel souGh. not only glimpse
Of the hungry. shIverlng men who
gathered in front Of the lodging house
at o'clock. but he wished also to
gain an understanding OF their feelings,
the reasons that brought them TO such
a condition. and q thorough idea OF
the system that had been devised for
their relief and for putting some glad
ness into their lives.
The colonel went 10 the lodging house
in company with Miss Frances Keller,
secretary OF the National Progressive
Service, and Philip Roosevelt. his
ne phew. who is a newspaper reporter.
When the colonel arrived in an auto
mobile hundreds OF poorly clad men,
whose faces had been Toughened by ex-

up in twos in the street, ready 10

HUMAN THOROUGHBREDS
RACE RETIREMENT AIM
DR.. Kellogg Says 1t Can Be Ac-
complished Through Registry
in Four Generations.

Battle Creek. Mich, Jan. lO.-A eugen-
les registry office to develop race OF
human thoroughbreds was advocated by
DIR. J. II. Kellogg. of Battle Creek. at the
National Conference for Race Betterment
to-day.
ut only takes four generations to make
a thoroughbred when the principles Of
eugenics have a fair chance TO operate.
said DR. Kellogg. I'VE have registers for
horses, cattle. sheep. pigs and even cats
and dogs If lady wishes TO establish
the standing Of her pet poodle she can do
SO by appealing to an official record and
the puny canine may lift its head above
its fellows as a born aristocrat. but no
where on earth, as far as I know. is there
to be found a registry for human thor
oughbreds.
THE hope is entertained by the mem
bers Of this conference that one of the
results Of the meeting may be the estab-
lishment Of such a registry. Indeed, II
seems the time has fully come when a
eugencs registry Office should be estab-
lished. in which may be recorded the
names OF infants who are born under
eugenic conditions. and perhaps also the
names Of persons who in person and pedi-
gree are able 10 measure up to eugenic
standards"

His First Official Fruit.

In ten days Of his career as Park Com
missioner for Manhattan and Richmond
Cabot Ward has experienced his first Off
clol fight and received his first official
bunch of bananas. The bananas did not
come as an aftermath OF the strife. When
ever the Central Park greenhouses yield

department. Therefore appeared at the
Arsenal yesterday a monster bunch OF
red bananas. They grow lemons also, but
because Of the significance attached 10
this fruit they are never presented TO the
Commissioners.
The bananas arrived at the Arsenal yes
terday morning. all park employe could
do to carry them To the Commissioner s
Office The bananas were hung In the
sun TO ripen and then will be sent to a
hospital shrinkage of 10 per cent In

to question closely the office boys.
