grea. deal for children born outside OF
marriage. 1t was back in 1903 that
part Of the energy Of the woman's
movement was directed 20 the matter
Of illegitimatc children There had
been n number Of tragedies where
mothers killed their babies. and great
emotional outburst had been the re-
suit. We women decided it was a
matter for us 70 take up.
az was the one who made the first
investigation. There Is only one prison
for women In Denmark, and so after
had the necessary permission 20 enter
the prison It was comparatively easy
to get first hand information on the
cases Of the mothers who had killed
their babies.
perhaps you will be surprised when
say found that those women weren't
criminals at all They had killed their
babies in moments Of despair Some
Of them. Just because they really were
such good mothers, had put their ba-
bies out Of the way. They couldn't bear
the thought Of the children's going
through life handicapped By disgrace.
Il was two years after we started tho
investigation that bill was passed re-
moving some Of the hardships OF illegi-
timacy. II gave the child right to the
support Of its father. II did not give
il the right to his name nor TO inheri-
lance. But those things will come.
The New View Of LEGITIMACY.
There ha. been so much discussion
OF war babies that am sure the
whole world will have TO begin TO look
this matter Of illegitimate children
sduarely in tho face. That has been
something which It has seemed hard
for people to do. don't think the
people Of your country have been al

YOU? Yet in most matters have found
you so progressive.

Prisoner Escapes Ambulance Driver in

He Must Make Up Fine

Quite a joke is vogue around po-

Demma, Harrisburg's ambulance driv-
er, who permitted prisoner to escape
from him in the police station yester-
day.
1t all happened when j. w. Sollway,
jitney driver, was fined 81 at a hear
ing before Mayor Royal yesterday,
charged with violating the traffic law.
As Sollway did not have the money
with him, the Mayor sent Demma and
the violator to hunt his employer. In
a short time Demma returned with his
prisoner, but without the 50. When
he turned to talk to some other "cop-
pers'' assembled in the docket room
Sollway made his escape. Now the
police say that Demma will have to
stand responsible for the So, unless he S
lucky enough to get the fugitive.
During the police hearing yesterday
three other traffic violators were up
before the Mayor, among them being
Leroy Messimer, upon whom a fine of
$40 was imposed. This money was
turned over to the State, as his offense
was one that does not come under the
city traffic ordinance. Messimer was
charged with driving jitney on a deal

STRONG part played BY
women IN THE Great WAR
European Women Build Monument to
Sex By Courage and Usefulness
Equal Suffrage Is a "Far Cry"
For Them Now

Equal suffrage is "far cry" for
the women of Europe, but perhaps they
feel no need of it inasmuch as they
are the good left arm of the warning
nations and took up the work of men
right where the men left off at home,
or shouldered a gun in the Balkans
when necessary, but not least of all
their work ministered to the sick,
wounded and dying in the crowded
hospitals of the vast armies.
The usual feminine thoughts of do
mesticity or adornment changed in
day to resoluteness and Spartan
courage inbred for hundreds of years
by bygone generations of strife, and
they took the field with the same
eclat and determination as their uni
formed husbands, lovers, sons and
brothers.
Many an ex-soldier to-day owes his
life to the patient ministerings of
some woman nurse in an improvised
hospital, lacking the bare comforts
luxuries of the sick room, and to these
women, whether at home or with the
armies, Europe owes a debt as great
or greater than the debt she owes her
soldiers.
The work of women in the titanic
struggle of Europe is clearly shown in

CHILDREN need HOMES
County Aid Society Took In Seventy
More During 1914 Than
Preceding Year

At the annual meeting last night of
the Children q Aid Society of Dauphin
County, at the Public Library hall, an
address was made by j. B. Byall, of
Philadelphia, on model treatment of
poor children. The report for the past
years included the following:
During the year 1913 the society
took in 70 children, during the year
1914, 149, making an increase of 70
children, and it is becoming the general
concensus of opinion that family life
for homeless and neglected children is
most beneficial and to be desired. The
society believes that normal children
should be removed from institutions
and given chance in a family home.
The number of children in care of
the society at the present time was
given as 339.
The reports of the various committees
showed efficient work of each during
the year. Frank Brady, retiring treas
urer, reported expenditures of $5,411.35
for the present year, with receipts about
$144 less. Contributions totaled
$2,147.31 from various sources, while
the Directors Of the Poor and relatives
and friends were responsible for the
receipt Of $2,276.09.
Officers chosen were: President,
Mrs. George Kunkel; first vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Francis Jordan Hall; second
vice president, Mrs. Morris jacobson;
secretary, Miss Elizabeth Bailey;
treasurer, Vance G. Mccormick.
