membered
The following Is clipped from re-
port Of Mr. Collins lecture.

over fifty little children into the

ready donated twenty-five dollars
from It's treasury and appointed a
committee 10 collect more funds for
the home Brother Collins took up

two hundred dollars Was realized

In this contest De Jung played for

NERO WAS MODERN
HAD THREE ELEVATORS.
And Hobo|e Skirt Roigned In
Moses Time, Says Scholar:

Philadelphia. - The palace of Nero
had three elevators.
In the year 6 A. D. an income tax
was established in Rome on all in
comes in excess of $4,000.
The hObble skirt was one of Dame
Fashions DEGREES in the days of Moses.
These and many other interesting
facts going to show that life among
: the ancients was not so different from
that of today were brought out by
Professor Camden M. Cobern. explorer
and archaeologist, who has just re-
turned from trip to Palestine.
PROFESSOR Cobern in a series of lec-
lures upon his archaeological discov.
cries pointed out that the Jews had
three systems Of shorthand reporting
In the first century and that in every
Jewish court shorthand reporter or
clerk sat on each side of the Judge.
Many Of the Roman aristocrats took
"stenographers' with them upon their
travels. 'a-
Some Of the other advantages enjoy.
ed by the ancients according to Pro.
lessor Cobern follow:
In st. Paul's time there were seventy
labor unions in Rome; hence struggle
between capital and labor must have
been waged even then.
There were several great monopolies
in the first century. the greatest Of all
being the oil business, although no
mention Of Rockefeller appears on the
papyrus examined by the American
scholar. The trust had not cornered
kerosene. which was unknown at that
period. but dealt in olive oil. There
also were monopolies in eggs, perfumes
and bricks
AS to homes the ancients made the
New York millionaires look like "pik-
ers." Professor Cobern says he has
read In manuscripts dug from ancient
tombs and houses of a Roman who
spent $12.000,OOO upon decorations for
his house.
Another plutocrat spent $5O.O0OOO0
In one year. Even Nero was no SLOUGH
when it came to burning money" On
one occasion he spent $4,000 for roses
on his banquet tables. The roses were
brought from Egypt.

CERTIFIED BABIES

Dispose Of Homeless Children
to Worthy F0slsf Parents.

Chicago.-The city of Chicago is CIV
Ing away officially certified babies
brown eyed, gray eyed and blue eyed
little beauties. quite chubby and per-
fectly healthy-and they are intrusted
to the care OF highly recommended and
thoroughly worthy foster parents only.
This is new idea. in which Chicago
leads the way. Medical officials of
other large cities are watching it's de-
velopment with close interest and with
view to its adoption.
! Chicago, like every other municipali-
ty, finds on its hands dependent little
ones who have no parents to care for
them, no friends to vouch for their
good behavior. Chicago takes them
all under its broad Chicago leads
among the baby loving cities-exam-
ines them physically and mentally and
then offers officially certified infants
for adoption.
What home needs baby? Many a
household is ready and anxious to well
come healthy and happy youngster,
but not every one is worthy Of the new
arrival. At least so Chicago thinks.
and thereupon proceeds to examine the
would be foster parents.
DR.. William j. Hickson of the
psychopathic laboratory of the munic-
! ipal court Of Chicago is the originator
Of the plan. DR.. dickson is baby
specialist, also an ardent student of
the problem of mental deficiency. Here
are his fixed standards for a certified
baby:
"At birth the certified baby must
weigh at least six pounds and measure
twenty inches.
AT one year Of age he must weigh
twenty-one pounds and measure TWEEN
ty-seven inches. increasing three inches
during the second year, and from his
third to tenth year two inches annual
~. His fontanelle, or soft spot should
close at about the nineteenth month
Mentally he should be as follows:
Three to four and one:half months.
grasp an object that is placed before
him. Hold his head erect. unsup-
ported.
'Seven months. sit alone. unsupport-
ed, and reach for toys.
Eight to ten months, start to creep.
Some babies never creep. but start to
walk instead.
''Ten months. start to stand. holding
some object. At eleven months, stand
entirely alone and at from twelve TO
fourteen months start to walk.
