CHILD BRA YES DEA TIL IN FIRE
TOSA We RAGGED DOLL BABY
Sisters and Policeman Wouldn't Enter Orphanage so
Rosie Raced Alone to Sallys Bed

FIRE broke out in the building. There
were eighteen children about Rosie's age
In the house, and they were in great
danger, 80 much SO that Sister Mary
Charles almost lost her life getting them
Into the street. But she did at last and
she had Just got the last one to safety
when Rosie began to cry. Nobody sknew
what she was crying for, not even Sister
Mary Charles and all the big policemen
and firemen, who thought she was crying
just because she was a little girl and
badly frightened.
But In reality Rosie was crying be-
cause Sally was all alone In the burning
house without her protecting presence.
and she was trying to ask somebody to
go In and bring Sally out. But nobody
went, so Rosie finally went herself, She
was Just going through the doorway
when a policeman saw her and Je!ed,
ind Sister Mary Charles rushed after
the little glr;. but Rosie was too fast
for her and ran up stairs into the DOR
mltory whers she had been sleeping and
where Sally lay on the bed staring
classify at the burning ceiling from her
one eye of porcelain, and staring not at
all with her snoe button I'VE. When
ster Mary Charles got there Rosie.
who had no Idea what the Are was about
was sitting on the edge of the bed lick
ing her fingers and then trying TO get
some Of the black smudge Off Sally's
face.
Sister May Charles picked up both
Rosie and Sally and carried them into
the street. and Rosie Immediately sat
down in the dirt and continued washing
Sally's face.
And she didn't cry any more at all.

Sally isn't worth much. She isn't
pretty, either. Her face is made of some
sort of imitation china, there Is a big
crack in her skull, running from her eye
brows across to the back Of her head /:
one eye is nothing but a shoe button,
and very discolored shoe button at
that and one of her legs has come loose
ana Is tied to her trunk with q piece Of
string. She has lost one of her hands
and on one foot she has no toes what
ever. She Is virtually wreck. And be-
sides all that she hasn't any nice clothes.
her finest dress having been rather
loosely constructed from the remains of
an ancient bandanns handkerchief. II
Sally was offered for sale In the open
market she wouldn't bring Is cents
Yet nobody in the world could buy
Sally for even million dollars, perhaps
because she is the property of Rosie
Treyesi. and perhaps because Rosie is
only years old and cannot conceive SO
much money. or any money at all, In
fact, although she has been known to be
responsive to the lure of penny. Rosie
is one OF the girls who lived in the Or
phanage of the Mission of the 1mmacu-
late Virgin in Mount Loretta. Staten
Island. and Sally rs just about every
thing in the world that Rosie has. and
probably everything that she wants.
Naturally, when Rosie goes to bed at
night and Is tucked in by Sister Mary
Charles or one of the other Sisters of the
orphanage. she takes Sally with her.
She did that Tuesday night and slept
and Il is supposed that Sally slept also
until early Wednesday morning, when

possibility of ship delays due to the har-

SEES SMALL HOPE OF
CUTTING CITY BUDGET
Research Bureau ShoUs Need
of Charter Revision.

After studying the proposed city bud
get for 1920 the Bureau OF Municipal Re-
search says that no immediate material
reduction can be made in the cost OF
city government without a thorough re-
vision OF the charter and of the laws
so that city and county governments
could be united. Estimates of the saw
ing to be. effected from this revision
range from 100000 to 100000 a
year.
THE taxpayers of New York might as
well recognize" the bureau says. that
large reductions under existing laws are
well nigh impossible. and that the main
hope OF holding down the costs OF city
government in the future lies in accept
ing the present increased charges In
volved in the application of the pay as
you GO law"
The bureau finds that the proposed
budget contains s32,3ss.000 due to the
pay as you go policy. and ssSo,o00 for
pensions formerly paid out Of excise rev.
enue. The amount actually set aside for
running the city departments, S169,612,-
3Sl, is little more than one-half Of the
budget total. This Is 22.6 per cent.
more than was appropriated for the
same items this year, and 43.5 per cent.
more than was appropriated for 1877.
For salaries and wages the increase
over the appropriations for 1919 Is 2l.s
per cent. and over the appropriations OF
1917 SO per cent. The Increase Is not
commensurate with the cost of living,
the bureau points out.
The report also says: THE turmoil
over the large school programme has OBJ
secured the educational budget proper.
If we take into account the increases In
salaries and increases due to growth OF
school population 1t Is questionable
whether the s56,oo0.0oo proposed for
1920 represents as extensive pro-
gramme on the part OF the Board OF
Education as the s45. 100000 granted for
1919.

HooKWoRM IN COLOMBIA.
Gold Mine Production Affected by
Disease.

DR.. o. T. Brosius. resident physician
of the Tato-Nechi gold mines in Colon
bia. who arrived yesterday by the United
Fruit steamship Carrillo from Santa
Marta, said that more than 30 per cent.
of the native employees OF the company
who were in hospitals were suffering
from hookworm. which reduced the pro-
duction of the mines about so per cent
when the disease was unchecked.
In combating the disease the special
lists of the company encouraged their
employers TO use sandals or shoes, which
they did not care TO wear. preferring TO
go around In barefoot.
Colombia, the doctor said. was tho
only South American country that had
refused to accept the offer OF the SER
vices OF the Roc kefeller Foundation in
fighting hookworm, malaria and other
diseases, Politicians were opposed to
gold workers efficiency through the
elimination Of the hookworm.

The Time to Level
Up and Level Down
for America

10 close at hand. This young
nation, walled in by the sea,
stopped at nothing to help win
the war. Thousands of work
people went almost barefoot to
help their well-of neighbors
place the Liberty Bonds neces-
sary to make credits for loans
to the nations abroad.
That the Government credits
given remained, to a large ex-
tent, in the United States is
true; but while this benefited
many factories, it only added to
our embarrassments, as it
created scarcity of merchan-
disc and of articles made in
America, and therefore it re-
suited in raising the high cost
of living. and it compelled the
raising of wages, which have
steadily advanced the past four
years.
. Now, how can the. United
States prosper If these condi-
tons continued When and
where shall we begin to take
care of American
With no less goodwill to our
fathers and brethren over seas.

SOIL MEETINGS
ARE SUCCESSFUL
Good Attendance This Week at Dem.
onstrations, Which Are Found
to Be Valuable and
Interesting.

The demonstrations Of soil analy-
sis this week are found very inn
portant and interesting, and with the
fine weather to boot. the attendance
is large at all of them. They are
being conducted by Professor R. L.
Bancroft according to the following
schedule:
st. Paul-February II. at 1870 and
7:30 o'clock
Charleston-February IS. at 1870
and 1880 o'clock
Mount Hamill-February 10, at
1880 and 730 o'clock
Columbia schooI-February 20, at
1870 and 1880 o'clock
Summitville- February 81, at 1:30
and 1880 o'clock
Professor Bancroft is very instruc-
tive and interesting in this work and
is well worth hearing. Everyone is
invited to bring soil samples for
acidity tests, and these samples are
taken from the first six inches of
soil. Small samples from several
parts of the field are mixed, and a
pint of this mixture is brought to
the meetings. The problems relating
to soil fertility and soil building are
discussed thoroughly and lucidly.
