Naming the Baby.

Naming the baby is delicate OPP
Grafton which requires more tact and
! finesse than discussing the European
war with a total stranger When a
!, baby is born into the home it is care
/ fully weighed by the proud father,
who always throws in couple OF
pounds for good measure, after
which the entire family will begin to
hunt around for name that will sat-
| isfy everybody until the baby gets
big enough to realize what has been
attached to it.
Under our present mode of govern
ment the baby is not consulted about
it's name, but is Obliged to accept any
com bination of letters which will keep
an old maid aunt in good humor.
Sometimes the baby is named after
an ancestor who was an advocate of
simplified spelling and thus given a
short, jerky cognomen which follows
it down to old age. Then also it is
quite popular to hunt through the
Bible for the correct spelling OF Jero-
boam, and after this is determined
the child is rivited to it and compell-
ed to go through life explaining to
curious friends that he was not old
enough to prevent it.
One of the greatest pleasures in
life is to be presented with set of
twins and then try to locate pair
of long meter names for them. Nearly
all twins are given names that sound
as much alike as possible, thus max
ing it an easy matter to tell them
apart after they have been identified
by the parents. If the baby is a
boy, the mother always insists upon
naming it after the father, which is
a. splendid arrangement, as in after
life the father is able to handle about
four-fifths of the sons mail and get
good clear idea of the modern love
letter, when it has the proper carbu-
rotor adjustment. In the case of
girl baby it is always better to pick
out a name that has been worn for
several years byesome rich relative
who is looking for a good place to
leave farm covered with ripening
alfalfa and red pigs.
1t is trying task to name baby
when it is the seventeenth member
of the family. Some people use the
telephone directory, while others can
be seen feyerishly scanning the So
ciety column in the effort to find
some name which has not been tried
on any of the other children. Benja-,
min Franklin was the seventeenth
child, but he survived his name and
grew to be great, good man, which
teaches us to forgive our parents for
what we receive. Ram.

PLANS TO "WTPE OUT

Director Krusen Says Plans Are
Progressing-Byberry Farms

Plans for "wirinE out the stain of Block.

supervision of Director Krusen OF the De.
partment of Health and Charities, who es.
timates his needs for this purpose at sS,
100000. The sa.OOO.OOO item for the Phil.
adclphia General Hospital in the proposed
$SG.SOO.OOO loan bill will be used cxclu.
sively at Byberry Farms. as the first step
in the four years worl; mapped out to in.
crease the comfort and health of the city's
poor and unfortunate.
Few persons outside the members Of
Councils Finance Committee. are familiar
with the fact that not one cent of the
planned loan will he utilized at the big
institution at sab and Pine streets. and
that the $1,000. 900 available for BloCkley
improvements Is not likely to be touched
for more than two years to come. These
facts are explained by the removal scheme
mapped out by Director Erusen.
In discussing his plans for the next
four years, in connection with Blocklcy,
Director Eruseu today said
THE SS,OOO.OOO in the loan for the GEN
eral Hospital will be spent at Byberry
i'm the construction of homes for the fee

the buildings. as S4,OOO.OOO would he
needed for the purpose. 1t will put them
in such shape, however, that we can move
tubercular and feeble minded patients as
well as insane to the country. Once the
family at Blockley. which numbers be-
tween 5000 and 1000 persons, is reduced
to this extent, il will leave us only the
sick to care for at 3ith and Pine streets.
These can be moved into one wing, and
then work can he started on new Block

far enough completed to make this re-
moval possible in two years. We have
Si.0O0.0OO that can be used only at Block
ley. and that will start the work of re-
building. If our plans and hopes work
out, Councils. by that time. will be asked
to find the money necessary to the build
ing of the new Blockley, and this can
probably be done in the last two years of
the present administration.
"Our plans have been carefully gone
over. and some new home must first be
found for the patients before any tearing
down is done at the 34th and Pine streets
institution. | also hope by that time to
get money enough to complete Byberry
so that home in the country will be
assured to the patients most in need of
outdoor life. If present plans are carried
out and Councils finds it possible to pro-
vide the needed money, Philadelphia at
the close of this administration will have
just reason to be proud of the housing
and care of its unfortunates. Councils
have been as liberal as possible at this
time, and we can go ahead just as soon
as the loan legislation is completed"

There is an old provreb: "Home
is home, be it ever so homely,'
but home should not be made any
more homely than necessity re-
quires. The family freside should
be associated, in the minds of the
young people, not only with stern
requirements of duty, but with a
sense of pleasure. 1t is not enough
to drill our sons with the severe
discipline, in all the formalities of
rigid virtue. They should be taught
not only how to keep straight, but
how to bend, since it is not in the
power of nature to undergo a per-
petual tension. Provision must be
made at home for relaxation as
well as work; for pleasure as well
as duty. If such provision is not
made there, it will be, as it is too
often, sought elsewhere.

In the design and construction
of the farm house the question of
utility alone should not be the de-
termining factor. The first thought
should be the making of home
The amount of money to be invest
ed in the building of the home
should not be determined by its re-
lation in size to the balance of the
plant, nor by the amount that is
necessary merely to provide q
shelter, but the amount to be in
vested should be that which the
owner may reasonably afford with
out financially Gripping himself
too severely. The average city
dweller in buying house for a
home does not proceed solely on
the basis of what he can expect to
secure in case it is ever desirable
to place the house on the market
He is not likely to consider the
purchase of a home as a financial
investment but as social one
which will enable him to secure fol-
his family the comforts and con-
veniences that he could not secure
in a rented house, and to have foI
his family a genuine home, gen.
