Alfred A. Seymour Of Dorset, now

FRANCE?
Isn't il better anyhow to live than
TO die, no matter for how glorious a
cause? Isn't it better TO live and come
back to the old folks at home, than to
rot in the shell holes and trenches Of
France?

INCURABLE AND TOYLESS
An Appeal in Behalf Of Neglected
Children on BlackwelPs Island

An Appeal in Behalf Of Neglected
Children on Blackwell's Island
To the Editor of The Sun--Sir: May
tell the readers of The Sun of the
very sad conditions / have discovered
in one Of the city hospitals for children
on BlackwelPs Island, where was
sent as nurses aid by the Red Cross ?
The children are incurable--para-
lyzed or hunchbacks or tuberculous or
suffering from other more terrible dis
eases, and with only one or two ex-
ceptions they have been entirely de-
serted by their families. No one ever
goes to see them or plays with them
or brings them presents.
A great many Of them are found
lings that have been fished out of the
East River OF found in ash barrels,
where their parents put them.
They have been in the hospital for
years and years. Day after day they
lie in their cribs or limp about in
strange, i'll fitting clothes pinned up
here and there with large safety pins,
hardly speaking and never smiling
They are normally without toys or
playthings of any kind. One little club
footed boy had black button, and this
was the wards only toy.
These children are absolutely trans
formed when toys and playthings, pic
ture books and games are given them.
The glazed look leaves their eyes, they
sing, they shout from bed to bed. 1t is
heartbreaking to see their joy.
Are there not people who would be
willing to collect their children's used
toys and send them to be distributed
to these children every week, so they
will never be without some happiness
and beauty to make them forget their
pain, lack of occupation and monoton-
ously ugly surroundings
Balls, old ribbons, mechanical toys,
beads to string, painting books, paper
dolls, music boxes, stuffed animals,
dolls, soldiers, picture books, puzzles,
in fact anything can be utilized, as
they are of all ages up to twelve.
They are starving for playthings,
and when they get them they never lay
them down for one instant, but play
with them quite wildly and cling to
them.
Please collect every discarded toy
you can find, and send them to me, to
be given to these most pitiful children.

Astounding in the forests and gladcs
in such numbers as to make this sec
ton of the state hunters paradise,
while the streams were filled with
speckled trout, affording rare sport
for anglers and delestable food for
those who enjoy fish diet. But the
destruction of the forests and indis-
criminate hunting and fishing have
sadly depleted the stock of game
animals and birds and the denizens of
the streams. By restocking and care
full conservation, it is hoped to restore
some of the old hunting and fishing
grounds, for the pleasure and profit
of the present and future generations
of true sportsmen. At least thirty
persons, numbering among them pro-
minent farmers and villagers, have
placed their names upon the member
ship roll of the association.

known as the Junior Home Makers
Club held its first meeting on May
18th, for the purpose of organization,

Engle; secretary, Hester Beachey;
treasure, Esther Zehner. The other
charter members are Esther Bender,

Elizabeth Engle. Detailed plans for
the future work were discussed; also
the necessity for a suitable clubroom
for the young home makers who are
already arranging for extensive gar
dening and canning.
