CHILDREN'S HOME
SUPT. STUCKEMAN MAKES AN
NUAL REPORT-MANY PEO-
PIE VISIT HOME.

Sioux Falls, June 1.-THE Chill
dren's Home carries on its work in a
quiet and unpretentious manner, but
there is evidence that there are thou
sands Of people in the state who are
interested in its work and make tia
point to visit the institution when In
the city.
During the last year over 10000
visitors registered-an average of
over 81 a day. Street cars running
right to the grounds is a great ac-
commodation to those who want TO
make the visit, but there are many
from out of town who do not find out
that there is such an accommodation
until they have walked at least part
of the distance. In this connection
it has been suggested that inasmuch
as the home is a terminal point of
the line, it would increase the traf-
hc and also be an accommodation to
have some of the east side cars
labeled "Children's Home"
In concluding his report to the
board of directors at the annual
meeting, Supt. Stuckeman said:
THE receiving home has, as in
former years. proved its usefulness
not only as a temporary housing
place for dependent children, but al
so as a place where these children
are actually prepared for placement
in family homes. A family of five
received in January could not have
been placed in any home as they
came in. All needed hospital care
which was given, besides other great
~ needed instruction and training,
before we dared entertain the
thought of offering them for place
ment in any home. When a short
time ago, three Of them took the
train for their new home, in the
same family. anyone might have felt
proud to receive them.
I'm the case of another girl of IA
years, who had been beaten into in
sensibility a number of times by her
own father. it took some time of pa
tient instruction and care to bring
her up to normal, both physically
and mentally, before the idea of
placement could be thought of. There
being no other place in the state

pied child can be cared for, ii be-
comes necessary for the home at
times to assume this responsibility.
Teddy is a case i'm point. After two
years in Chicago he returned some
what improved, but with the same
heart failing to perform its intended
functions. Even this helpless unfor-
tunate boy of 8 years has found a
home, for the summer at least, with
a kind hearted woman, who might
have had her choice of the best we
have to offer. Only a few weeks ago
another boy of IL years. whose case
is almost identical with Teddy's,
came to us with a younger brother,
after being neglected almost to the
point of starvation. Perhaps ne too
may find a temporary family home.
1t is certainly large hearted, TO say
the least. to accept such a charge
even for a few months.
THE society ought never be asked
to receive the feeble minded child.
but we are continually being asked
to do something in behalf Of such as
are neglected or mistreated. Aid has
been gladly extended i'm such cases
and several have been actually re-
eeiyed to be later sent to the insti-
tuition at Redfeld."

sion of England"
An aeroplane destroyer" designed
for attacking dirigible airships, has
been perfected in Italian government
workshops In the last few months. 1t
is an enormous machine with three
separate engines and with a total en-
ergy of more than $50 horsepower.
1t consists, in fact, of the bodies of
two ordinary tractor biplanes placed
side by side and far enough apart so
shat there is room between them for
the propeller OF a third engine. Each
of the two main bodies has its own
engine and tractor screw In front, so
that it looks at first like two ordinary
tractor biplanes flying hand In hand.
On the section of wing which joins
the two bodies is placed the body work
of an ordinary pusher biplane, with
the engine and propeller behind. In
this way the body projects well for
ward in front of the screws of the
other two engines, so that 1t can carry
a gun of considerable size and have n
clear field of fire forward, backward
and on both sides, without danger Of
hitting its own screws or wings.
The machine is capable Of lifting a
huge cargo of bombs large enough to
be certain to destroy a Zeppelin If
they hit 1T, and even capable of doing
serious damage to a battleship.

LOndon.-Much ingenuity is being
expended In adding to efficiency for
destruction by German airships. The
Rotterdam correspondent Of the Daily
Mail says: 'The latest device is an aeri-

by the new super-Zeppelins. 1t Is made
of aluminium and filed with gas.
When discharged from a tube in the
alrship the torpedoes, 1t is stated, are
sustained by gas and controlled by
wireless from the airship. They can
be directed from a great distance and
exploded at any point required.
Professor Rohland of Stuttgart has
invented a trench protection against

fact, for mosquitoes alone spread

The possibility of an amicable
adjustment of our differences with
the Teutons and the Allies is partic-
ularly pleasing to the American
people, and every right thinking
man will applaud the President in
his determination to protect the
rights of our people without rushing
into the flames that are devastating
Europe, But while our eyes are
now fixed upon an honorable peace,
we should not overlook the fact that
it is by no means an assured fact.
Little things have created the big
gest wars in history, and for a ma
ton to permit itself to remain un-
prepared in this day is but to invite
attack and court defeat. Action
should be taken for the strengthen
ing of our national defenses, and
that action should not be delayed.
America is too rich in gold and pro-
ducts to be left at the mercy of an
invader.

Smile Agian.

Do you remember that smile that
escaped you the other day and
flooded your face with sunshine, and
brought joy to the hearts of your
friends and the little ones as you
passed them on the streets?
That smile was contagious. 1t
spread from you to others, and from
them to still others, and kept on
spreading and growing, and is still
travelling from face to face some
where in this world.
Do it again, do it often, do it ev-

A smile is worth much and costs
nothing.
1t is pearl without price.
And it is a gift which you may be-
stow upon others without trouble or
loss to yourself, boon to humanity
which encourages, and elevates, and
ennobles the giver: as well as the
recipient. - .
