SEES BIT OF AMERICA
in LONDON CHILD CENTER
fBy United Press. J

London, Dec. /. (By Mail. "A tall
figure in the blue flannel suit OF the
American hospitals stopped and
looked about the mean street with a
puzzled air. He had set out to find
the Tower Of London and had hope
lessly lost himself in the tangle of
slums lying in its neighborhood.
Suddenly he caught sight Of the
Stars and Stripes on a painted sign
bearing the words: American Red
Cross Child Welfare Centre.
II guess they'll set me right If ]
call in here" he said, and opening
the door of what had once been a
saloon he found himself in the midst
of group of East End mothers and
sprawling babies.
He was turning to retreat when a
voice said, Come right in this Is a
little bit Of America. !"
So he stayed and talked to the
American trained nurse and tried to
guess what the cockney women were
saying to him, but could only guess
that it was something very friendly.
The babies were shy at first.
"Garn, silly" said the most talka-
tive OF the mothers to her two-year
old, lees no Hun. CaWn't yer see
ee's ally?" and soon the child was
listening to the ticking Of the SOL
dier's wrist watch. @#1-
IT forgot all about the Tower Of
London" he said to the nurse as he
went away. 1T was SO home-like
hearing you talk and seeing the
babies. I've one of my own. See, "
he said rather shyly, 'I'll show you
my mascot" And out Of his pocket
he drew a baby's first glove still
showing the wrinkles made by tiny
knuckles and with finger ends cheWed
by baby teeth.

companions were quarantined in the
West hotel, Minneapolis. Orders had
been issued for no one to leave, but
one big husky was unable to resist
the temptation to take an outing and

insufficient time the auxiliary registrars
