A LMOST as if in answer to those
buyers who last week discusse d
and approved the idea of using the in
fants' department in the retail store
as unit in child welfare work, there
have been opened up in this city two
such departments, with new and up-to-
date equipment.
Crowds OF such size that they prove
the validity of the idea over and over
again have been coming to the store
of A. I. Namm e. Son., BROOKLYN. this
week to hear the lecture which a
trained nurse gives every day from 8
to in the afternoon on the care Of
the child. In conjunction with the lect-
ure an elaborate window exhibit has
been made, showing not only nursery
equipment, but all sorts Of infant
food.
A light and airy room has been ar
ranged on the fourth floor of Saks &
Co. for the new infants department
which opens to the public tomorrow
In this room there has been installed
novel equipment of convenience both
to the mother and the saleswoman.
Glass display cases, made with as lit
tie wood as possible, and glass shelves
have been installed, so that what is
within may be seen, and it will not be
necessary to displace a whole drawer
Oh garments to get the right color.

SAhhpo tillS is true because the ORR

And the shops themselves do not carry
the extensive varieties that arc to be

comes to taking an order for some
thing the Indifference of the clerk
amounts many times almost to a re-
fusal. These are things one meets
with continually in the native-run
shops.

Real Welcome
After the store had closed at $50
the whole staff assembled on the main
floor. From the smallest girl in the
house to the general manager, every
one was there. Even customers could
stay If they wished. The nineteen
young men in uniform gathered on the
balcony at the end OF the store which
had been decorated with American
flags. The cheer Of greeting which
they got from the employees was enough
to make them feel that they were
indeed "back home" They were then
welcomed by Mr.. Tucker, general man

BY BROOkLYNITES
Crowds Stand Hours in Rain

When the strike began to make itself
felt In the Broadway subway. operated
by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com

that had been waiting for the infre-
quent trains only to see them go by
packed to the guards, pushed out of the
Times Square. the Thirty-fourth and the
Fifty-seventh street stations and bolted
for the Interborough lines, adding to
their already heavy traffic. The Inter
boroughs Brooklyn trains were jammed.
Many who could not get hanging room
in the cars at the downtown stations
made their way on foot, in taxicabs.
wagons and street cars to the foot of
Whitehall street. where thousands stood
in line to get aboard the ferries bound
for South Brooklyn and Bay Ridge. The
Atlantic and Hamilton avenue ferries
were less crowded.
A great number of the downtown
workers fiocked to South street in an
effort to get to South Brooklyn and Bay
Ridge over the Thirty street route
Men and women were standing four
abreast on the stair steps. and the line
extended back into South street and into
lower Whitehall street. II was we'll into
the night before the crowds began to
diminish, even though an extra ferry
boat was put into commission on this
route.
