ORPHAN WORK DAY.

The custom has grown up of havin..
one day in the year set aside as Or
phan Work Day.
That means that all friends of the
orphans work on that day and what
ever they make, they send to various
orphanages. More and
more the custom has spread until now
1T means a great deal to the orphan
ages.
This year, Sept. 80 is Orphan Work
Day.
Whatever you make on that day, if
you are a Presbyterian, should be sent
to Thornwell Orphanage, Clinton. S.
c., for it is the Presbyterian Orphan
age of Georgia, Florida and South
Carolina. Many children, fatherless
and motherless, are there from your
State, and they are being trained in
hand, head and heart. If it were not
for Thornwell Orphanage they would
not get this training.
Will you not, then, set yourself to
work on the 30th, and get others to
work, and send that days income to
your little brothers and sisters, who
must be cared for, and whom you love
to help?
Remember the day, Sept 3Oth.
Cut this out and read it to the
members of your family.
Send what you make to Thornwell
Orphanage, Clinton, S. c., where there
are 300 orphan boys and girls being
given a Christian training

The City Hall became further
alarmed today when it leaked out
that States Atty Hoyne was going
to make an investigation of protect
ed vice in the 21st ward, just north
Of the river, before he was through
with Chief of Police Chas. G. Healey.
Eugene r. Pike, city comptroller,
member of one of Chicago's Oldest
silk-stocking families, is the ThOmp-
son leader in the 21st ward. He was
the>Lundin candidate for ward COM
mitteeman last April. Francis D.
Becker, now under indictment in
connection with vice quiz last
spring, is his most active aid in run
ming the ward.
A police captain, formerly sta
toned at the East Chicago av. dis
trict, which takes in most of the 21st
ward, is said to be ready to tell of
instructions given him by a prOmi-
nent City Hall leader to go easy" on
the resortkeepers friendly to Fran
els D. Becker.
Hoyne announced last night that
ten more police captains had been
summoned before Judge Olson to tell
of instructions received from Chief
of Police Healey. They are: Morgan

den, Thos. J. Caughlin, Jas. O'ToOle,
Stephen K. Healy, Thos. F. Meagher,
Thos. Cronin, Wesley Westbrook
and Joseph w. Smith. $3.50.
Hoyne also expressed regret that

FIGURES ON ILLEGITIMATE CHILL
DREN TO SUGGEST. LAWS
Washington, Oct. 16.-The case Of
the children of unmarried parents
will be soon placed before the peO-
pie of the United States. The chill
dren's bureau of the labor depart
ment is now tabulating statistical re-
ports from ali parts of the country
bearing on the problems of hlegiti-
macy and a comprehensive report
will be issued.
cit will then be up to the public"
said Mrs. Helen L. Sumner, assistant
chief of the bureau today. "Our bu-
reaU will make no recommendations;
it is purely statistical in character"
The statistics will not include the
number or even the approximate
number of Legitimate children in the
United States. Such figures are i'm
possible of statement, the bureau has
found. But a great deal Of informa-
ton on the subject, designed to
make intelligent consideration of the
subject possible, has been gathered.
While recommendations for special
legislation are not within the scope
of the bureau, the feeling exists, it is
understood, that some legislative
action such as the Swedish system,
tending to bestow full legal rights on
nameIess children, should be in force
in this country.
Children born of unwed parents,
often of 'love matches" and, there
fore, according to prominent hygien-
lists, very superior to the average off
spring of the marriage state, bear the
heavy enough burden through no
fault of their own of the social stig-
ma, it is felt, without the bar sinister
of utter disregard by the state.
