BOARDING HOME FOR BABIES
Institution in England Had Its Ineep-
ton in the Shortage Of Houses
and Housemaids.

A small private hotel for babies is
the latest idea Of domestic life. The
baby gets a change and the mother
gets a rest.
The baby's hotel or boarding house
is the product of the shortage of
houses and nursemads. Parents have
been forced into hotels and furnished
apartments, and as many hotels have
not the conveniences of the nursery,
the babys hotel, where he or she may
be received as paying guest, is max
ing it's; appearance. There is, OF
course, accommodation for the baby
carthage -----------.--.--.~ .,
Two certified nurses conceived the
idea. They have established a nursery
in Hampstead, London. The walls are
decorated with ducks and chickens,
and each little guest has white cot
with curtains. A medical man and a
dentist are in attendance. The tariff
is about $13 week. The little guests
may stay a week, year, or merely for
the week end, while their parents go
house hunting or holiday making.
"a young war widow, who has re-
sumed her former post as secretary,
brought her baby to the nursery, and
Saturday afternoon and Sunday they
spend happy hours together, while an
other woman left her little one in our
charge while she rejoined her husband
in the tropics. s.'-Continental News.

ACCESSIBILITY TO MARKETS
Farm on Paved Road Is Nearer to the
City Than One Located on
impossible Highway.

The type of road over which a farm
er must haul his crops determines his
accessibility to markets. A farm many
miles from the city, but if located on a
paved road is nearer to market than
a farm separated from it by only a
mile of impossible road. That is
why the various reports of the United
States weather bureau issued daily by
the local state Offices of the bureau. de-
vote frequently their entire report to
the subject of roads--a strange place
you'll say to find an editorial promot-
ing permanent highways, but it is there
from ti1ne@to time. nevertheless.

The big city papers must do their
share In saving paper, else the small

The Times, in spite of the extreme
shortage that has prevailed for months,
has been publishing daily more separate
news stories than any other Indiana
newspaper.

stories, exclusive Of routine news. such
as society, sports, markets, city briefs,

Not only editorially, but mechanically,
has The Times adjusted itself to meet the
