There is no direct mixture of the
blood Of the mother and that OF the
developing embryo. All the processes
contributing to its growth and main
tenance, including those Of respira-
ton and excrel.on, take place through
intermediate structures. This Is an
extremely wise provision Of nature,
whereby much Of an injurious char.
acter in the blood Of the mother Is
barred from reaching the embryonic
tissues. Undoubtedly. the cells which
form the organs Of nutrition for the
embryo have a capacity for selecting
the elements required for the purpose
igencies OF commerce.
Were 1t not for this intermediary
process, the embryo rarely would es-
cape being poisoned or otherwise In.
jured by all the varied unhealthy
products and substances which the
be present in their blood during this
important period. Even with this
means OF protection, the maternal
blood may be so utterly deficient in
nutritive qualities that the fluids
which reach the embryonic cells may
be very much impaired in quality.
All the tissues, including the bones
are dependent during the intrauterine
life on the supply Of nutrient material
derived from the maternal blood. Our
tissues require proteids, fats. Carlo
hydrates, salts, water and oxygen
from the inspired air II the blood OF
the mother is deficient In these ele-
| ments the growth and development
OF the embryonic bones will be re
tarded and the imperfections thus be
gun will be continued In infants
whose blood is not restored to q nor
NAL state after birth.

New York, Nov. s-one swallow does
not make a summer, but the fact that
fifty-three saloons In Brooklyn went out
OF business last year while 100 more NOV
ing picture shows opened Is worth con-
sidering.
The night trade Of the saloon Ia gen
orally the most profitable and IL Is Just
at this point that It encounters the COM
petition OF the movies, which for the
price Of two beers" furnish a full even

for moderate drinking Is companionship
and diversion, and Brooklyn noraIists

Those who are in a position to know
say that Miss Schefrs popularity has
been waning for some time. In the days
when she was at the pinnacle OF her
career it is said that Miss Schen was
well-just a bit too temperamental in her
dealings with those working under her.

CHARITIES
PROVES IT'S VALUE
Two Recent Cases Show How orsani-
zaion Co-operates with Other
Societies Elsewhere.

The wide scope OF the work Of asso-
eiated charities and its national char
acter were wildly illustrated last week
when the Washington organization, CO.
operating with two New England socie-
ties, brought together two persons Of
widely varying ages with their respective
families. One was boy Of sixteen. who.
wanting to see the world had become
homesick and was unable to return. The
other was a man OF forty, an expert on
manufacturing. but the victim OF an ILL
ness some ten years ago which at in
tervals OF three or four years affected
his mind.
The boy had been away from his home
about two weeks. He finally landed in
Norfolk. where he met a friend from
Washington. from whom he sought en-
ployment- His friend directed him to
Representative here. The Representative
cent him TO the Associated Charities
headquarters After communication had
been established with the organization
In his home town, near Boston. II was
found that he came Of a well-to-do
family His uncle came to Washington
and the boy returned home.
The man, suffering from q lapse Of
memory. had inquired for work at the
charities headquarters in the morning.
He was well dressed, gave no hint OF
his unfortunate condition 1t was puz-
zling to the office why he had appealed
to them for employment, but investiga-
.tion through the once of the society at
Worcester, Mass, enlightened them Be-
fore they could detain him. however,
he had disappeared from the building.
but days search finally found him IN
the custody OF the police
The mans wife and mother arrived IN
lthe following day. with the
Assurance that the manufacturing con-
Germ was holding his position open for
him until the attack had subsided.

Hidden Causes of European War

Miss Janet Richards has returned from
a weeks lecture trip to PhiladeIphia,
Piatnneld, New York, and the Oranges
and viii give her usual weekly lecture this
morning at 10:15 O'Clock IN the auditorium
at Woodward & Lothrop'a
While away Miss Richards addressed
six large audiences on The Hidden
Causes Of the European War"
These she contends are racial antago-
nism, difference Of language, conflicting
political ideals, and commercial and
colonial rivairies-a combination which
breads suspicion. jealousy, and race
hatred. To these must be added the
dangerous growth OF militarism and the
curse Of secret dipIomacy'-the diplo-
who sitting behind closed doors and too
often dominated by the spirit Of the
war party-hoId IN their haads the
destiny Of the nations These conditions
-unknownito the peace-loving peoples OF
Europe-have for four decades. been
inevitably tending toward the catas-
trophe Of war.
Yet terrible as tie present conflict Is,
greater danger. In the opinion Of many
turks in the problem Of the final settle
ment, in the rival claims Of the Occident
and the Orient-Japan and India, the
partners Of the allies-Russia herself am
bilious for a greater Pan-slavism, with
an eye upon Constantinop!e. And in the
event Of German success, what Of Turkey
and the Balkans. of Holland and Den
mark, and even Of Sweden? And who Is
to compensate stricken Belgium? With
all the contending nations weakened by
this bloody conflict, who will settle the
great contention, which nation-or ma
tions-will be the great arbiter?"
That the future is Veiled-that no
answer can yet be given to these ques-
tions. Is cause for grave anxiety and
contributes to the fear that the war
may be Of long duration
