CHILDREN WITHOUT HOMES.

The ways of modern life develop
a large class of children without
homes responsible for taking care of
them. There are many children of
divorced parents, many illegitimates
and the usual number of orphans.
This great body OF little ones are
pathetic element, and society fails to
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-08-31

make adequate provision for them.
Social workers say that a large part
of them, lacking parental care, get
into bad ways.
OF 200 reform school girls whose
past was recently investigated, it was
found that SO per cent were without
homes.

Children acquire pride in the honor
of their fathers and mothers If they
grow up in some institution or are
boarded out with strangers, they lack
this incentive. Society ought to make
more effort to inspire these homeless
ones with high ideals.

RULING ON "WET" AUTOS.
Some Forfeitable, Others Not, Says
Baltimore Judge.

BALTIMORE, October tSpeciaD.-
Where an automobile is used for the
transportation of liquor in violation
of the Volstead act, and the facts of
the case show that the transaction is
a commercial enterprise, it is just
grounds for the forfeiture of. the ma
chine. Where, however, the circum-
stances OF the case do not measure Ip
to fiagrant violation and it is shown
that there is no commercial intent on
the part of the owner, the court will
consider that sufficient grounds for
returning the machine"
This decision, which is held to be
important. because it is the first ju-
dicial construction of the clause of
the Volstead act dealing with for
feiture of machines, was made by
Nudge Rose in the United States
court, in considering the charges
against Julius Ochs, who fell into the
hands of the dry agents.
Ochs was caught on the Belair road
by prohibition agents, after he had
been held up by two motor cycle men
of the motor vehicle commi ssioner's
force and two gallons of whisky in
jug was found in the machine, which
the dry agents asked the nudge to
confiscate.
Judge Rose said the circumstances
of the case furnished good cause for
not forfeiting the car and returned it
to the owner, although he assessed
hne of $50 upon Ochs.

Division of Rolling Stock.
The problem is to divide equally the
rolling stock already in existence. At
present Rumania will not allow her
locomotives to cross into Hungary
for fear that they will be seized and
conf1scated. Other countries adopt
the same attitude. This throws the
distribution of food and raw mater
ials into great confusion Efforts to
remedy the situation can be modelled

A WOMAN and her obvious husband

'torn-up street after Thursdays rain.
The woman was a pallid being with
three worry lines between her eyes,
suitcase and the family umbrella.
The man was meaty-pork-and car
rfed a double-decked chin. Also he
was weighted down with cane,
which he swished lightsomely to ac-
cent able remarks concerning the
shortcomings of the law.
IF the people of Washington had

go-tearing up streets. tearing down
houses, ripping up tracks, making
over triangles-and the authorities
stand for it because of the money
they get out of it,"
And if you had been tipping be-
hind close enough to hear the oratory,
you might have wondered why a man
who demanded such consideration
from the city fathers should have. SO
little for his wife as to let her lug
the suitcase, the umbrella and the
worry lines.
And yet, as visioned by your minds
eye, the meaty man had a far heavier
burden to bear than the woman, see-
ing that nothing could so weigh him
down as the hump of selfishness on
his immortal soul.
But, also, again, it is a safe bet that
the woman wouldn't have swapped
him for any other man on earth
Which is one Of the funny, splendid
