He went to his office as usual two weeks ago today" Mrs Haynie said at her home in Great Neck, l., l., 'but failed to return home at dinner time.

GUESSING AT COST OF ROADS
Need of Standard System of Account ing for Hishways-DiffieuIty of
 Iowa Commission.

There are so many conflicting state mentsl regarding the cost of road work that the desirability of a comprehen- sive method of highway accounting is evident in order that taxpayers may not be misled concerning the total ex- pense of such work, according to American Highway. The Iowa state highway commission has had conSid- erable difficulty in finding out what the counties in that state have been spending, because of this failure to have a complete system of accounts.
 One rich county reported collecting $16,OOO for road work, but after in- vestigation the commission found $32,- 800 had been collected. An investiga- ton of the accounts of another wealthy county reporting $3,20O col Iected revealed a total collection of $19,6OO. The discrepancies were not due to an intention to hide the amount of the funds but merely to lack of good accounting.

BABIES MIXED BY
 HOSPITAL NURSE
Dne Mother Learns "Dead" Child Is Cured, Other Finds
 "CureF' Child Dead.
JOY TURNS TO GRIEF
Mistake Brings Happiness to Ono Home and Sorrow to Another Dead Baby Sent in Sealed Golf
 fin to Wrong Home.

Yonkers, N. Y.-As a result of a mis- Diseases hospital here, one mother re- gently learned that her child, whom she believed she had buried, was alive and well, and another mother, called to the hospital to claim her baby as cured, found that her child was dead.
 Michael Napis went to work the oth- sr morning humming a Russian mel ody, for a card which the priest had translated for him had lifted the shadow that had hung over his home for weeks. It said that his little girl, eighteen months old, whom a white lacketed man had taken away in an ambulance despite his wife's protests, had recovered from infantile paraly- sis.
 In obedience to the summons, Mrs. Napis was to call at the hospital and when Michael returned that evening .here would be one more smile to well come him.
 Clutching the card, Mrs. Napis took Ter seat on the edge of a bench in the office of the hospital. When her turn came she thrust the bit of pasteboard 1t the trim, efficient-looking nurse who questioned her.
 Not Her Baby.
 A few more tense minutes, and the lurse returned, carrying baby. Smil- ng at the rapture in the mothers face. he laid the child in her arms, drawing Town the blanket trif1e.
 Mrs. Napis, turning to hide her emo ion from the people who had kept her baby so long, bent her head over the lestling burden. Then she wheeled suddenly, suspicion glowing in her fea- ures Torrential Slavic sentences )urst from her lips. She thrust the baby back into the arms of the nurse and collapsed on the bench, weeping.
 An interpreter was called. He ex- plained that Mrs. Napis said the child was not hers; that she wanted her own baby.
 There was considerable delay. Mrs. Napis sat silent on the edge of the bench, rocking back and forth. Anoth-

CT woman entered. She was in mourn ing, and it was plain to see that she, too, was a Russian. Mrs. Napis paid no heed.
 With dulled eyes she saw the child that she had refused placed in the arms of the woman in black. She saw the grief-stricken face go blank for a moment and then kindle with joy.
 Baby She Sought Was Dead.
 Then the interpreter was called again. Sitting beside Mrs. Napis, he told her that her little girl was dead. It had succumbed two weeks ago, and through some error had been sent in a sealed coffin to the home of Mrs. John Valkoff, whose daughter Rose, eighteen months old, was also in the paralysis ward.
 'sIt was a mistake" the interpreter repeated. ''Your child died and they thought it was Rose Valkoff.'"
 Mrs. Napis arose slowly and, with out glance at the happy woman in black, the smiling baby or the efficient. looking nurse, she walked from the room. She muttered something as she walked.
 "What does she say?" asked the nurse, who feared the shock might have unbalanced the woman.
 "She says, What shall I tell Mich aelP" replied the interpreter.
