LOOKING FOR SUBSTITUTES.

New York, May 27-Himself too belief that his beloved country Is threatened with real danger, an aged but wealthy fruit grower of Easton, Pa., who served as a private of Ma rines under Farragut during the Civil War, is today tottering along the streets of New York in quest of a sub st1tute to whom he is willing to pay a la&ge bounty to take his place in the ranks of the present day Marine Corps.
 The white haired old warrior, who refused to divu1ge his name, stated it is his belief that every patriotic man of means, too old to serve himself, should find 8 substitute.
 A'IH get man to serve in my place if have to pay him $1,oOO,'' he told Capt. Frank E. Evans, in charge of the local Marine Corps recruiting sta ton. Uncle Sam needs ab1e-bodfed men these days-not to march in pre- paredness parades solely. I think every patriotic citizen should aid in getting men to enlist. I served ac- lively in the long ago, but now I must do the next best thing and find a man to join the ranks in my stead.''
 The Easton veteran refused the aid in his quest for a substitute, and ex- pressed the desire to Ego it alone on his own account.

New York, May 26.-Justtce Robert J. WiIkin, of the ChiIdren's Court, Brooklyn, in opening the seventh New York City Conference of Charities and Correction, of which he is president in the assembly hall of the Kings County Medical society, 1,S1S Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, yesterday after noon, congratulated the conference on the marked improvement in the health of the community.
 Ut is in the memory of most of us, he said, when the mortality of the city ran somewhere in the neighbor- bod of over forty per thousand; now this has been reduced to from nine to twelve per thousand, making our home city one of the most healthy to live in in this great world.
 Infant mortality in New York to- day is lower than in almost any other city in this country In fact, do not know of any city where there are fewer deaths per thousand of infants than in our own territory
 The Justice referred to the stand ardization of ideals and efforts, and the Investigations and improvements that have marked the past year. as, he added, would appear in the reports to and discussions of the conference. He then passed in review and com l mented upon the various papers which | would be read by men regarded ex- perts in the subjects on which they
 would speak. Of children and their
 treatment, he said:
 i Treatment of Children.
 '"The child in the school is a subject
 for the Public Education Department,
 but after it leaves the school we have
 not given it such close attention. Un- 1 fortunately, in so far as the training of the child is concerned, many of our
 parents have left it, mainly, to the l schools and other outside agencies. 1 ''Then comes the consideration of l the child whose mentality is of such i d character that he or she may not be
 able to understand what we are try ing to instil in them. Mental defec- | tives and the feebIe-minded are to- day receiving more attention than we have heretofore been able to give 1 them. Today, more than ever before, we appreciate the importance of the
 understanding before there can be
 any information inparted or ground gained.
 'TWe will consider the delinquent, l those who have been out of harmony
 with the rest of their fellows. While we may or may not have an enthu-
 siasm for all that is being done, or the effort that is being put forth in behalf of the criminal, at the same time, there is no gainsaying the fact that the commonwealth has seriously

Inventor Claims to
 Have Duplicated the Hands of Human Beings.

Munich. May 27.-One of the many remarkable artificial hands invented during the course of the war is one just perfected by a mechanic named Will, who claims to have solved the problem of creating fingers which can be moved independently of one anoth- CT and which will grasp an object as does the human hand.
 The fingers of this artificial hand are made of slender pieces of steel, three to finger connected and attach ed by tiny hinges to the metal consti- tuting the palm. By a system of fine wires running to the elbow or the shoulder the fingers can, it is claimed be crooked to any, desired degree so as to supply the power to grasp. A twist of the arm releases the grasp of the fingers on the objects they hold.
 Will's invention was made possible, it is declared, by the German Mu- scum of Munich, one of the worlds famous technical institutions Will conceived the idea of the hand and laid it before the museum authorities, who then placed at his disposal the necessary means and assistance to per

 Border-Idne Gases.
 ..At this conference the executive committee. at they suggestion of Miss Sadie American, proposed to consider, as far as possible, border-ltne cases. When a case is presented for your consideration and the facts in their recitation suggest the solution, you have no trouble in determining your action, but that difficult border-line case that we perhaps less frequently see is the one in which we find it hard to bring about a good result
 After the general ausiness of the conference had been disposed of, pr. Haven Emerson, hea1th\ commissioner, submitted a report from the commit tee on public health. Papers read during the afternoon were as follows: 1 l"Menta1 Deficiency as Community Disease in Relation to Alcoholism and 1 Syphilis by pr. Thomas w. Salmon; i; ''The Prevention of Mental Deficiency and the Care of Mental Defectives,'' . 1 by Bernard Sachs. There was a gen era1 discussion of each paper. Dr. Emerson said in part:
 'fIt has been apparent to those who have studied more than the personal clinical side of medicine and the relief of individual sickness, that progress l in public health will have to come by community action and the reconstruc- ton of certain social errors, before any permanent improvement can be maintained. If municipality is equipped with a clean water supply, g. clean food supply, and has capable medical services and an honest ad- rninistration of it's public offices, a creditable and very low death-rate can be obtained. This does not, how ever, represent all that public health means, nor all that is to be expected
 or hoped for from the application o1 preventive measures.
