pv PAULINE FELIx.

Newark, N. J., March 1s.-(Spe-
eial.)-"Thess women have sinned,
says society.
One hundred and fifty thousand
mothers souls each year are con-
demned to the firea OF humiliation.
Each year America makes outcasts
of 10000 mothers and the helpless
little ones they have brought into
the world.
These women hava sinned," says
society. 1--WE must have nothing to
do with them or their sinful off
spring"
So the stoning Of the Magdaiene
has continued for centuries because
the world has looked upon her as
an Unbelievable sinner. Her one
misstep has tainted her and made
her more dangerous than a leper.
But
Newark an Exception.
There is one city in the United
States which takes . new and
strange attitude towards this wom-
an Of sin. That city is Newark,
N. J.
drop your stones" cries that
city to the men and women who
would rend the Magdalene's soul.
This woman is no sinner now, but
your stones and scorn may make
her one tomorrow. Let US love the
Magdalene and help her to be proud
of her baby.N Let Us help her to
make her child a fine citizen"
And so Newark has brought life
and hope into the hearts of its
most hopeless. Not all of them can
remember q girlhood of innocence
and sunshine. Many are women Of
the Sums and women who have
suceumbed many times to tempta-
ton. Newark does not seek to find
the cause Of a woman's fall, be it
inherent wickedness, mans cupidity
or family negligence. The fact that
4 woman has erred is enough.
Newark has given up the policy of
stoning. II.
built home for unmarried mothers.
Here is shelter for the unhappy girl
who is afraid to face her mother
with her tragic story. Here is
home where she may be protected
against the snares that are spread
for erring girls.
It lis the first municipal institu-
ton Of its kind in this country.
The Newark home for unmarried
mothers was opened just recently.
Il is maintained and operated by the
municipality, and Mayor Charles P.
Gillen and DR.. julius Levy, head OF
the bureau of child hygiene of the
department Of health, officially de-
elared the home to be opened to re-
ceive girls and their babies. 1t IS
directly in charge of the mayor and
operated by the 5ealth department.
Or. Levy 10 its active head.
Can House 100 Mothers.
This home was opened not, to
ehastise the sinner, but to give
loving care to girls and their babies
for six months at least. High up on
Ivy Hill, in the South Orange dis
trict, stands the two-story brick
building that>is equipped to house
100 mothers. From its big windows
they can look out upon the beau
Eiful Orange mountains. And with
In the building there is cheer and
hope and life. The girls are taught
70 take proper care Of their babies.
A motherly matron is in charge of
the house. She hears the stories Of
these girls and helps. them solve
sheir problems. Through the home
an effort is made to bring daughter
and parent together again. The
doctrine that the girl who has erred
Is no sinner until society forces her
TO be one by making her an out

The Good Old Days

Lancaster, O., March s.-Mrs. An.
ME Miller who recently celebrated
her l03d birthday, recalls selling but
ter at s cents a pound and eggs at
at s cents a dozen in the forties,
while her husband cut wheat at 81
cents a day. She stifl has her spin
ming wheel on which she spun both
flax and wool for use Of soldiers IN
the Mexican and civil wars.

100000 births yearly in the United
States, II can safely be estimated
that about five per cent are illegiti-
mate. That would give an annual
total Of 10000 births and the same
number of unmarried mothers. This
is d very conservative estimate,
however, and II is claimed the num-
Der approaches 10000
These 100000 are the mothers
who survive. But there are others
who have not courage TO face the
consequences of their error. They
do not kill themselves, but they at
tempt to eoncealsthe fact that they
are to become mothers, or they are
careless of their health. So the an
nual toll of women who die in child
birth is 1900, according to the ma
ternity records published by the Ma
ternity Center association.
Other Cities May Follow. .
Perhaps If other cities in this
country drop their stones and try
to bring sunshine into the lives Of
unmarried mothers and the little
citizens of tomorrow, the whole
world will change its attitude to-
ward its half million women who
sin. ~ Every year more than 100000
women in the civilized world find
themselves unmarried mothers. Ac-
cording to countries, the latest fig
ures of illegitimate births are as
follows:
Germany .. .1S0, aO9lGreat Britain 50, 900
Austria .l2o, cool Spain ....S.. $4,000
France .,s...75,000I Belgium 80. $4,000
Italy .,...,. 100000
Every time the clock has marked
off 90 minutes there are II new
"fatheriess" babies in the United
States. What shall we do with
them and their mothersl Shall we
treat them as outcasts, hide them in
our back alleys, condemn them to
darkness and sordidness9 Or shall
we answer their helpless sobbing
and remember that q baby is a baby
that environment makes or breaks
a human soul? Shall we profit from
the lesson Newark teaches and give
these mothers and their infants not
charity or supereilious tolerance but
chance, a real chance, to make
good and live?

THE LEAP OF DESPAIR.
(Seventh Episode.)

The seventh instalment of 1.-THE
Wolves of Kultur," called 1.-THE Leap
of Despair, is full of swift and peril
Gus action, sure to keep IN audience
in breathless expectancy.
The episode opens with Bob and
Alice bound in cellar facing bomb
about to explode. The fuse has burn
ed down close to the bomb, which will
explode in a half minute. Barclay,
the detective, who thinks Bob and Alice
are members of the gang of criminal
alien enemies being punished, releases
them after putting out the burning
bomb fuse, and then makes them pris-
onerS.
Bob throws the electric light switch
and in darkness he and Alice escape,
jump into the sewer main followed by
Barclay.
In the meantime Helen, Bob's sister,
who, unknown to him, is in aid of the
detective, has tracked one of the enc
my workmen to the river front and fol-
lows him to a cave across the river
where Zaremba has instructed the men
to carry the model of the wireless tor
pedo.
Alice and Bob have a perilous time
swimming against the swift tide Of the
river, but manage to make their way
across. They are pursued by Barclay,
who, however, is far behind them.
While the Hun conspirators are busy
at the mouth of the cave, they sight
Alice and Bob and set upon them.
Alice is captured and carried away
bound securely by ropes.
Bob is left fighting with a giant
member of the gang. He is thrown
from a cliff SO feet in height but m
to the surface and begins to swim
away. His opponent, determined that
he shall not escape, jumps in after him.
In a water fight, such as has never
been shown upon the screen, they
come to grips, striking savagely at
each other and m~anoeuvring with re-
markable quickness and skill. Both
men sink from the surface still fight
ing and the spectators behold this
struggle under water in which the
Hun is defeated.
Word comes to Zaremba of the cap
ture of Alice and he orders her to be
brought to him at his new headquar-
tiers, which he has established in the
country.
Carried to him bound, the master
spy gloats over her and tells her that,
now that she is securely in his power,
she shall pay The episode ends with
Alice helpless in the power of the I'M
scrupulous Hun.

MERCURY STARTED
DOWN TODAY AT 1.30
Reached 96 Here and Then Began to
Decline-Hotter Than at Same
Hour Yesterday.

Ninety eight in the shade June was
the highest temperature registered by the
standard thermometer at 1. K. Vaughan's 8
home on High street yesterday! The
scorcher was followed by hotter one to-
day the mercury reaching 96 degrees at
l.30 o'clock as against 90 at the same time
yesterday. At l.30 today, however, the
mercury began to show decline.
In the 10 years in which Mr.. Vaughan
has been keeping record of the tempera-
lures there have been but five years when
the mercury has gone higher than the 9S
mark on the hottest days of those years,
which would seem to indicate that persons
who complained of feeling the intense
heat yesterday were thoroughly justified
in expressing their discomfort.
Although the mercury began to decline
early in the afternoon there is no tangible
evidence that it viii continue 10 60 down
as the weather report from Washington
today indicates fair, but continued warm
weather tomorrow.

EGG OF IMMENSE SIZE.
On Killing Hen Today E. Wales Found
Egg Weighing Seven Ounces.

Elijah Wales has curiosity in the
form of an egg which has attracted
much attention from poultry fanciers
and others who have seen it today. Mr..
Wales raises and is greatly interested
in Light Brahmas He had one of his
hens killed this morning, as he thought
something was wrong with her, and
found in the egg bag an egg which
measured 10 by eight inches and
weighed seven ounces. This particular
hen had been on the nest every day the
past month and would come off the
nest cackling, but would not lay Mr..
Wales has flock of Is hens, all Light
Brahmas, and they have averaged to
lay % eggs each per month. Two Of
these hens laid 90 eggs in 100 days and
one laid 100 eggs in 119 days. He has a
pullet that has laid for AZ consecutive
days This strain of hen is reported to
begin laying when eight months old,
but Mr.. Wales has gotten his to hay
at six months and two days old. Many
poultry raisers think the Light Brah-
ma strain is inclined to want to set con-
tinually Mr. Wales s hens average
from IS months to three and one-half
years of age and not one has yet of
fered to set. He matches all has eggs
in an inmubator, also uses the trap nest
system. These hens all are direct de-
cendants of the famous bird, Mollis
/ Wellington, which is now in California
