JUDGE STELk DOING GOOD
WORK..

To the Editor Chicago Eagle:
AS a servant of the citizens of Chi
cago, ! deem 1t my duty to call their
attention to a crying injustice which
is being committed in the Domestic
Relations Branch of the Municipal
Court of Chicago every day by direc'
ton OF the law. II Is this:
The law commands that a man who
willfully refuses and neglects to care
for his children shall be sentenced"
TO the House of Correction. At this
institute these worthless men are
furnished with food, warmth and
other comforts of life and frequently
with high grade entertainments, lee
lures, etc. The law, however, makes
no provision for the innocent and
helpless children involved. These
are Sentenced" TO go out into the
cold and TO exc out miserable eX'
istence. Some of the men and WON
en- who spend time and money max
ing the fathers comfortable close
their hearts and doors to the suffer
ing children on the outside. Why
such gross Injustice? Charitable or
CARNATIONS are unable to take care
Of the suffering families and should
not be asked TO do so. Permitting
the father TO become and be a non
producer Is the fault Of all taxpayers
and not only a few.
More good would be accomplished
IL the citizens OF Chicago permitted
their courts TO send the suffering
women and children 10 a warm, com
Portable place where they could be
cared for, entertained and educated
and compel the shIftless husband and
father 10 work and support them

TO BOND BANK MEN.

\ dispatch from Washington says
that in his annual report to congress
next January. Comptroller Williams
will again recommend to congress
that the national bank act be amend
ed so as to require officers and EN-
ployes of national banks to furnish
fidelity bonds. This will have the
double effect of making 1t more ditii'
cult to misappropriate the funds of a
bank and will also provide further
protection for the depositors and
shareholders In the event that any
bank employe should betray his trust.

EXPERT IN AVIATION WORK

Maj. Benjamin d. FOulois, junior
military aviator, can justly be called
the original "bird-man" of the army.
When attending the signal school In
1907 and 1908 flying, which had never
been seen In the United States, was
his hobby and his graduating address
was on that subject, and men here who
heard that address state that each of
his predictions have come about with
but little variation from his prOgnosti-
cations.
He has been on aviation duty from
its beginning in the United States
army. In July, 1909, he operated the
government dirigible ut Fort Myer,
st. Joseph, NO., and Omaha. January,
1910, TO July, 1911, he operated the
first army airplanes at San Antonio
and engaged in reconnaissance duty
on the Mexican border in 1911, after
which he was relieved from aviation
service until 1915, when he was
ordered to the Mexican border, where
