1 If the mother Is in trouble and unable to meet the small charge for the care of the child, she is not required to pay same.
 Miss Ida Mccracken is the Crech nurse. Miss McCracken is the day mother and the little folks love her deyotedly, telling her their little troubles and coming to have their baby fingers kissed when they have got hurt.
 Much could be said of the dear little folks as they so through the day. but already the public is well acquainted with this side of the institutions activities.
 Neighborhood house has a nice play ground, which will have supervision every Saturday afternoon, and when the weather is too cold and rainy the chil- dren will be invited into storytelling hour.
 Here again is another agency that needs cooperation to live, cooperation of the general public and cooperation of it's particular neighborhood and co-opera- tion of all the other social workers in the city.
 Neighborhood house has lived over the hard hour of the birth pangs and while it still has not entirely outgrown it's childhood, it is certainly a very pre- cocious child.
 The home is located at 50S Nineteenth street, near the corner of Avenue F. and -, VI y Ne'i'4 oi to thC hui iidS Do StfOOi. The furnishings are charming and home- like, and much care has been shown In the selection of draperies and pictures
 One of the most commendable things in the work of all modern social agencies is the desire to get away from the "cha- ity" idea. The beautiful thought in the word Is lost because 1t has been so drag ged down by condescension and through the byways of philanthropy. This work of the women of the Nelghborhood board Is the real expression of what kind in- terest, unselfish endeavor and desire of a good neighbor can be.

and enjoy the club life that is afforded by the neighborhood by having the house to go to. This club is known as the Phoenictans. Once a month they hold meetings of a social nature On the Fourth of July of last summer this club gave at Neighborhood house a dance for Mrs. Maben, the president of the asso- oiation.
 The superintendent of the association visits each morning in the neighborhood and keeps in touch with what is going on around her. Should a child of school age not be attending school, this is looked Into, and any need of outside assista nee. such as doctors services, is looked out for, and the home environment is greatly bettered by the visits of the Good Neigh bor' band, through whom a sympathetic understanding is aroused
 strange to say, it Is not the American mother or young man of the neighborhood that takes advantage of this charming neghbor, and it Is only lately that the young American girls will come How ever, through education this will change and Miss Sparks is hopeful of gaining the sympathy of many of the American n mothers also and working through the home to interest the boys and girls. A mothers club has been formed and a mems civic club will also be consid- cred.
 This resume will give some idea of the activities of the social agent at work around the house; but 1t would not be lair to leave out tho little kiddies who are so happy in the nursery. The aver age attendance is 90, from the ages of 1 10 years. tome of the little tots have known no other home except to go away to sleep for the last four years. The mother brings her little one in the morn ing and leaves 1t all day; her mind is at ease about the child and she is more competent to look after her duties and has the assurance that the little one is happy and will be hers at night again

dial hardship would result from
separation of the presest business into
two or more separate companies. 1t

cate either aidissollition, division or re-
organization. -

an adequate measure of relief might
result from enjoining the unfair prac-
tices of the terms of sale agreements
and from separation of the business;
but the defendants should have an OPP
portunity to present to the court on
the first day OF the 1915 November
term plan for the abrogation OF the
illegal monopoly unduly and unreason-
ably restraining interstate trade and
commerce or, If an appeal from this
inter}ocutory decree Is taken to the su-
preme court. and this decision is af-
irmed, such plan Is to be presented
