He always treated me just fine

And they might die most any day.

And sweets and toys and all of those,
He don't believe there is such

VICE BODY BAREs BABY FARM
5000 Infants Buried in One Tomb,
Declares Baltimore
Board.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 21.-In an ex-
haustive, detailed report the state
wide vice commission named by Gov.
ernor Goldborough in January, 1918,
made public the results of its inquiry.
Probably the most sensational fea.
ture dealt with in the report Is the al
legged traffic in babies. 1t Is asserted
that investigators found there are in
situations in Baltimore to which the
mother of an illegitimate child may
consign her offspring and forever rid
herself of legal responsibility for it.
OF the hundreds of children so taken
in charge by the institutions the COM
mission AYERS that 80 to 80 per cent
die and are buried in heaps in small
plots of ground, one such plot approx
imately fifty-fve feet square having
been the tomb of 5000 babies since
1885.
Since the commission began its
work the police have closed the vice
resorts. According to the report, how
ever, there is no evidence that i'm
morality is not as extensive as ever.

At the end of last June there were
1910 amateur wireless telegraph oper-
ators licensed by the United States
government. and the ranks have been
materially increased since then.
After a controversy lasting ten
years, it has been decided in France
that the use of old corks in wine bot

REASON FOR CONFIDENCE.

Declaring business conditions
throughout the country to be already
booming, principally because conf
denCe is returning with the close o.
the Democratic administration and
the prospect of g Republican Presi-
dent next year, r. E. Miller, president
of the Owl Drug stores, arrived in
Los Ange'es last week trimming with
enthusiasm over the results of an eX-
tended trip throughout the East
Il am delighted with the results
of nv trip" Mr.. Miller said yesterday
afternoon. When ! left for the East
several months ago. / really did not
know what to expect of business
conditions there. l had been told
that everything was at a standstill
This / found to be far from true.
"A year ago, I learned, trade CON
dition wire in bad shape But it APP
pears that as the Democratic admins
tration draws to its close, confidence
returns to the people, and as re.
suit, business gets better. II is univer-
sally conceded throughout the East
that this will be the last Democratic
administration We will have to suffer
with for many years.
The Republican party in the east
has several good men who will prob
ablv be candidates at the Republican
National Convention. But from what
! gathered, Senator Lawrence Y. Sher-
man of Illinois, appears to be the
strongest man in the fed. | believe
he will be nominated. and II this oc.
ours, he is certain TO be elected by an
overwhelming majority.
| was very we'll satisfied with
trade conditions along the Pacific
Coast and in other localities where
we have stores, even before left for
my eastern trip. But I discovered on
my return that even in my short alb
sence, business has increased greatly.
There is only one answer. Conf
dence in returning to the general pub.
lie. And am sure that as each day
goes by and WI get closer to election
day, this confidence will grow. ! am
sure that during the next administra-
ton. which will undoubtedly be Re
publican, this country will experience
the best times OF It's history
