that the swine exhibit has quantity

The six hog sheds and one large tent

THE HANDLING
 OF BAGGAGE

The new rule requiring baggage checked on railroads for an interstate trip to be valued in advance is causing much friction. A change in the law is predicted. The occasion seems op- perfume for a general effort for bet ter methods in baggage handling.
 The worst feature of the handling of baggage by American roads is failure to get trunks on time If it has to be transferred at some june ton point, the general rule is that it is delayed. It Is q great inconven- fence to find that one must wait for his trunks until the next day. Loud are the lamentations among the wo- men. who must show up at the hotel dining table or at the home of a. friend in a dusty travelling suit
 In business life the consequences of not getting trunks promptly must be serious. The salesman may have to wait a day to present samples to customers.
 Different railroads vary greatly. In some big terminals all seems system and order. Truck loads of trunks are made up a. few moments in ad- vance of each departing train, and connect promptly with the baggage car.
 In other large stations, so far as the public can see, things go he1ter skelter The baggage men, too few in

points while Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Reading bettered their positions to a similar extent. United States Steel, on its first sale Of 1sS0O shares, rose a point over yesterdays close.
 < Noon--E Except for. brief pauses. the market continued to advance. A noteworthy feature was the relatively light trading, the first hours business amounting to only about 13O.0O shares, with d steady dfmfnution af- ter that period. Coppers as whole were the strongest issues, with aver age gains of almost two points and a new high price for the metal. Beth fehen Steel preferred rose to the record quotation of 118 and General Electric increased it's gain six points to 17O IA, The Pacit1cs and Read ing were strongest of #the way group

 B. Legislative Needs. = Laws of commitment and discharge which will give the institutions permanent control of their inmates Protection of Predetermined girls and women.
 One of the most conpreh hensive clean-cut and convincing studies of the detectives of a. state comes from New Hampshire. A State Children's Commission was created some time ago and its chairman, Lillian c. Street CT, has just published a reprint of the commissions Report on Existing Con- ditions relationing to Detectives.
 What New Hampshire Found
 The fact that New Hampshire is small state with ten counties, 235 towns and less than half a. million people has made possible a more in tensive and complete piece of work than has so far been done in any oth- CT state in the Union.
 The method of inquiry was first, over the whole state. by missionaries and then, by direct and intensive field work over a limited area, to check off and supplement the returns In the various institutions 1,3s5 children were tested. the Binet-Simon scale be- ing used by a number of trained ex- pert workers. New Hampshire among the states, has the second largest number of children in orphans home in proportion to population
 Several significant reve1alti ons. some expected and some unexpected. are made by the report. One is that tn relative amount of feeblemindness dI1a " aA as proportion in the most populous coun- | ty in the state, to the largest in the two most remote and thinly populated, counties, showing clearly the extent of the Fsocial needs of the rural districts. Another is that the method of treat ing Predetermined women, allowing | them to enter the county aLImshous | to give birth to their i11egitnate bab- ies and to go out and repeat their sex ua1 experiences, as soon as they are able. leaving the children to be promptly placed in orphanage, it is 1 about futile a plan as could be de- Vised- This accounts. at least in part, for the awful toll of feeblemindned children in the orphanages.
 Another is that the 500 feeblemind- 1 ed women known to ibe at large, with l the many hundred more whose exis- | tance is certainly though mayhaps | vaguely, estimated, constitute a gray | CT danger to the prosperity of the the state than a foreign war or a na- l tive pestilence.
 When orphanages are plenty and admission easy, many who might be classed as delinquents are rather as dependent, in which case only the more serious offenders are committed to the Industrial School. It may be taken as g. general proposition for all such institutions that their worst cases | are more frequently Predetermined.
 eblemindness in New Hampshire
 is a local problem. Of the defective
 children whose birth place is known
 80 per cent were born in the towns
 wherein the towns they now live and
 10 per cent more in another town o1
 the state. The nativity of the parent:
 too is mostly Americans.

number, are flying hither and thither in, a seemingly impossible effort to keep up with train departures It is hard to get their attention. Either they are overworked, or perhaps they are waiting for the modifying influ- ence of the friendly tip.
 The railroads complain that they are not popular. Probably annoyances like these have quite as much to do with public hostility as more serious breaches of faith. Any railroad that wants the Friendship of the people can make a long stride to getting it. by systematizing it's trunk deliveries and making it the usual thing for the baggage to go on the same train with the passenger.
