children into childless homes.
The following extracts from his recent
magazine article presents many new and
interesting phases Of the subject which
are not generally known:
cit is not only the married ehildless
who adopt children" DR.. Ksrisy writes.
children are adopted by the unmar-
ried OF both sexes. Girls are adopted into
families in which there are only boys,
and boys into families In which there are
only girls Middle-aged and even elderly
couples whose children have grown and
left them have adopted children.
There is a family In this country which
adopts a baby as Q companion for every
baby born to II. My informant tells me
that this family has adopted four chill
dren up 10 the present time. Consider
for a moment what an asset this family
is to the State and what genuine salts
faction Il must get out Of life.
1T Is generally assumed that the bens-
hts derived from adoption are all on the
side Of the child. This is a general be-
lief and always an error.
"What possible role could the adopted
child or adopted children (tor many
adopt more than one) play In a family

1T is this; They postpone old age. The
presence Of young children and young

AMERICAN LINEN SUPERIOR.
Makers of Shirts and Cellars Have
No Import Competition.

Superiority of the American made
shirt and collar to the foreign product
has practically driven the foreigner
out of this field. and has left the Amer
ican manufacturers with the home field
all their own. according to a report
on the shirt and collar industry just
made public by the Department of Com
merce.
Tuc report finds that the manufac-
turer with net sales of less than $780,
600 makes higher percentage of profit
than the one whose output is greater
than that.
Fault is found by the government in
vestiRators with some establishments
for ma sintaining crude systems of cost
finding. The report says that these
manufacturers do not know exactly or
even approximately their profit or loss
on certain styles and may continue for
a long time to sell particular styles at
loss without knowing it. Other
establishments. knowing accurately
what a certain style costs. will sell it
on small margin of profit. or even at
loss, for the purpose of attracting
custom for more profitable styles
