'UNWANTED BABIES
SERIOUS PROBLEM
Testimony Shows That Home"
For Infants Was Virtually
a Graveyard.

LONDON, Oct 21.-Startling rev.
elations regarding the Leytonstone
home for "unwanted babies" have
stirred England to realization OF new
problems growing out of the war. as
the pitiful details are badly set forth
in Old Bailey.
Beatrice Hatchsrd, forty-seven. and
her husband, Henry Melville Hatch
ard, fifty-two, are being tried on
manslsughter indictments for the
deaths of two babies, Iria Mayes and
Joyce Sutton, and for wilful neglect
Of four other children.
The story of how these babies came
into the hands OF Hstchard and his
wife is told terseIy in one bit of
evidence.
For a consideration of $50 they
took the daughter of Miss Lillian
Tsobel Tierney. They were to adopt
il as an only chil1. To hurry Miss
Tierney to a decision Mrs. Hatchard
wrote that she was considering TAX
ing the child of another woman
whose husband was coming home
from the army, and she wants the
baby gone"
Poor, But TeetotaIers.
To Miss Tierney, Mrs. Blatchford
also wrote that she and her husband
were poor but teetotallers," and that
he was a member OF the Salvation
Army.
Bat In court. while protesting a
Willingness to plead guilty to wilful
neglect, Mrs. Blatchford argued in her
own defense:
81 would not have wilfuify neglect
cd them IL had not been drinking. 1t
is through drink that I did it."i
In nine cases, the prosecution
proved. Mrs. Hatchard got "unwanted
babies" by advertising for them, de-
scribing herself as "motherly per-
son." procedure reminiscent of
Squeers' grandiloduent- praise Of his
spouse or by answering advertise
ments of persons who wished to get
rid of ''unwanted children"
Notes A La squeerr-
To an unmarried girl named Ford
ham Mrs. Hatchard made a price of
500, and when the girl could not af-
/ ford this amount, reduced the price
| to $50. Here, again, she played one
against the other and inserted
/ Squeers-like notes of tenderness. She
was offered another child, but her
husband preferred the. Fordham boy,
as "he was so fond of boys" She
| then wrote to the mother that the
child was we'll and happy and she
would send a photograph.
Joyce Sutton was also the baby of
a single woman, taken for SIS. Death
on August II was, in the opinion OF
| physician, due to starvation and
neglect. A similar cause was given
for the death of Iris Mayes, whose
mother described IL as nothing but
skeleton. and too terrible to de-
scribe"

SUFFER- HOT WEATHER.
Ss LOSS ON HOGS. s5s

Hot weather losses on hogs have al.
ready begun to hit shippers to Chicago
and the South st. Paul livestock mar
kets, and the Equity Co operative Ex-=
change is sending out warnings to all
its consignees to ice their cars, and ice
them well and load light.
In one week this season there were
500 dead hogs unloaded in the South St.
Paul stockyardsS and there have been
some heavy losses while the animals
were in pens awaiting sale and delivery.
Fifteen hogs died in one day last week.
from over heat in the pens, and with.
| the weather remaining humid and warm
it is certain there will be enormous
losses unless managers Of shipping as
sociations and other shippers take pre-
cautions. These are the total losses,
and hit all commission dealers and all
shippers alike. .s.3
per pound and the average weight Of
hogs marketed is 200 pounds and bet
ter. It is figured that the average hog
brings the farmers $50. On this basis
the 600 dead hogs in one week cost the
livestock farmers Of the Northwest not
less than $4,000. ~. -,- =.
This enormous loss could have been
prevented Cor most Of it could) by prop
er care in shipping. All cars for the
| shipment Of hogs should be cleaned
| well, and no hogs should be loaded into
cars that are several inches deep in
filth. Travelling for hours through the
hot sun the cars heat up from top, bot
| tom and sides, and this filth becomes
! steaming hot. Instead of bed of this
! kind the hogs should have clean sand
ed floor on which they can keep cool.
After removal Of the filth clean sand
should be shoveled into the cars and
spread around the floor. ..
T.: Several large cakes Of ice should be
placed in the car also. The hogs not
only rub against this ice, but its slow
melting supplies constant flow of
moisture over the floor, cooling the sand
and wood and relieving the hogs of dis
tress and loss of weight. If shippers
want to get full returns for their swine
during the hot season they can not af-
ford to neglect these methods, and the
extra cost Of this kind of loading will
be more than made up if it saves a
| single hog, or saves even few pounds
of shrink per animal.
! Most necessary of all is the point of
loading light. Overlooking is the chief
cause of losses in hot weather. Sixty
medium hogs are enough for a '36-foot
car in hot weather, and fewer if they
are extra heavy. Two farmers the 9th
er day lost hogs that weighed 40
pounds each on the day they could have
I got 20 cents pound live weight, which
meant loss to each farmer Of more
| than $50. Eighty dollars would ice and
clean cars for a big shipping association
for month. A dead hog brings only
2h cents per pound and goes into the
| fertilizer watts.
