Cannot Understand the Effects of
Disease.
HARTFORD, Conn, March az
That witches are working overtime in
causing the deaths of infants in this
state is the firm conviction of hun
dreds of Connecticut mothers, most of
them foreigners, according to a state
ment issued by the state child welfare
commission. Prof. Henry p. Fairchild
and his assistant DR.. Herbert NJ Dia-
mond, have been surprised at the re-
ports coming in from their field work
bury, where women, having lost their
children, say that the young ones were
taken away by witches. One young
woman lost her child by death, and
swore that it had been bewitched The
death certificate showed capillary
bronchitis.
The state commission is securing
considerable data on child welfare, and
in its Investigations is coming across
many queer stories, ignorance and SUI
pcrstition in the matter of infant hy
giene are found in many localities, and
nothing seems to convince many moth
ers that their children have not been
carried away by the witches, but that,
as a matter of fact, it was only
through ignorance of infant hygiene
that their infants died.
Miss Mabel E. Thompson. special
field agent for rhe commission, says
that hundreds of infants die in Con-
| necticut every year, who might have
been saved, if there had been proper
| treatment of their ailments, and if the
! mothers only realized the seriousness
of the illness in time to call a physi-
| clan. The investigations by Miss
! Thompson and other field workers have
| brought to light the fact that many
weird superstitions of italian origin
were hourishing with old world vigor
in the very heart of Waterbury. Hart

The investigators of the child wei

Waterbury. The report reads: zig
! norance in matters of infant hygiene
4 is not confined to any one group of
mothers, nor Is all ignorance of the
same variety. The inexperienced
young mother may lack knowledge OF
the proper methods of caring for her
child; but if she is intelligent and fl
nancially able to procure competent
medical guidance, her ignorance is not
so apt to prove injurious to the child
Interviews with the mothers of the

out strikingly for each group the prom

rived infants Of the foreign born moth
ers.
Comparatively little superstition
was found among the Lithuanian moth
ers, but, as was pointed out in the see

children with fatalistic fortitude. On

aims and purposes have carried far.
1t was never intended to reforest a
land with trees on a single day in the
year, whether that land needed it or
not. 1t was instead set apart as a day
of beginnings, when people who did
not know might learn; of the necessity
of trees. great forests of them; of the
long time it took to grow them, but
the little while required for their re-
moval, and the loss and destruction
which often followed. Then the whole
thing was clinched with planting a
tree where it would seem to do the
most good
'That was excellent, much better
than nothing. But in place of a small
weak tree, planted with singing and
forgotten with despatch, today you

Avn THE REPURLIC TONIGHT

Lure of Ambition" a super-produc-
ton in which William Fox presents
Theda Bara, is coming to the Republic
Theatre tonight This is not only Miss
Baras latest photoplay, but is said to
be one of the most intensely interest
ing of the many successes in which
she has been seen
The driving power of relentless am
bition is the motive of the story. Miss
Bara is seen as Olga Dolan, the hero
inc, who graduates from the slums to
the desk of a hotel stenographer, and
from that position finally becomes the
Duchess of Rutledge after many dra-
matte yicissitudes. The central role is
so strong that the story was selected
as a vehicle for Miss Bara in a seen
ario competition in which many well
known books and plays were offered.
A strong cast Of photoplay favorites
is seen in support of Miss Bara. Ed
mund Lawrence directed the produc-
lion, of which he is coauthor with
Julia Burnham.

WatampOO's Slide

WatampOO's Slide
PALKY SAM and the bear cubs
ID ducked under water to get away
from the angry wasps which had come
after them when Balky sam played
football with the wasps' nest.
"Buzz-zz! Wen teach you to obey
the laws of Pleasant Valley and mind
YOUR own business and not harm 9TH
ers,' sang the wasps, and they drove
their stings deep into The mule and
young bears, as the animals came up to
breathe: , s
"We'u be good !" howled Major and
Minor, the bear cubs, splashing the
water all about them.
Wasps don't like water any more
than cats do, so after a while the angry
stingers grew tired of being splashed,
and buzzed back into the woods. Father
Bear and Mother Bear had heard the
howls of the cubs, and they reached
the river bank just as Balky. sam and
Major and Minor came moaning out OF
the water.
.'Er- -umph Stung!' growled Father
Bear. Roll yourself in mud. That
will take the smarting out.
So that is what the cubs and Balky7
Sam did, but they We're sore ana
sorry lot as they crept away to dry their
muddy fur in a sunny glade.
"Honkle! Honkle!" cried the voices
of the Wild Geese from afar. Looking
up, Peggy and Billy saw their feathSred
friends rushing toward them; Be ,BeG ,
ware |" honked the king of the wild
Geese. cold Watampoo, the medicine
man, has found the way into Pleasant
! Valley, He and his savages are after
you!"
"Alas, we are doomed growled
Father Bear. .
But Billy was thinking fast. Take
your cubs and hide" he said. Peggy
and l will try to fix these savages.
THE Indians will come dowE the
slide as We did," replied Billy: If they
coast into the river the swift current
will carry them over the waterfall to
the plains far below. We will smear
the bottom of the slide with wet clay
and that will make it so slippery they
can't possibly stop themselves"
There was plenty of wet clay on the
banks of the river and Peggy and Billy
quickly spread this over the stones:
! Without a dam, such as the bears had
made when coming down the slide, the
savages were sure to go scootinG into
the river.
Just as Peggy and Billy were tirish =
ing their work there came yowling
and braying from the woods and out
dashed Balky Sam with the wildcat
bounding after him.
"Yow! I'll teach you to break the
laws Of Pleasant Valley and kick at a
poor, defenseless cat" snarlcd the wild
cat. At once Peggy and Billy knew
what had happened. Balky Sam hadn't
minded his own business and here he
was in trouble again.
Save me !" brayed Balky Sam, and
he leaped on the slide. His feet slipped
on the wet clay and down he went,
