BOY
THRIVES ON HARDSHIPS
Sleeps in Cellars and Forages for
Food. but Still Keeps
Healthy.

New York. July 14.-The paradox of a
child who has lived for fifteen days on
the bits Of food he found in garbage cans
and who slept in cellars and areawaye
and yet standing out as the healthiest
and happiest among a score OF normally
fed and housed children, was seen today
IN the Children's Court when Justice
Mayo's attention was called to the case
Of Frank Englegos, 9 years old, picked
up early today by Policeman Nawrod in
the basement Of an Italian theater. at
No. 4s Bowery. Frank was easily the
sturdiest and brightest Of the children
in the courtroom.
In reply to questions. all Of which he
answered readily and intelligentIy, the
boy told Justice Mayo his father and
mother had died "a long time ago." and
that he had gone to live with an aunt at
No. n Chystie street. About fifteen days
ago, he said his aunt put him out in the
street, and with a cheerful philosophy,
which refused to admit any obstacle, the
child proceeded to adapt himself to cir
cumstances. He was remanded to the
care of the Children's Society until Mon
day.
