WILL PREVENT
BABIES FROM
BEING MIXED

NEW YORK, Jan. IA system
of taking footprints of children has
been adopted In the New York Nurs-
cry and Child's Hospital to prevent
infants born there from going to the
wrong mothers. Its adoption was due
to the fact that soldiers wife who
recently gave birth to baby In that
hospital at first denied that the child
was hers. The young mother, who
had been reading stories OF accident
al substitution OF children at hospi-
tails and similar public institutions.
declined TO nurse the baby.
''We brought all. the proofs we,
could muster" explained the superin-
tendent. but the mother persisted IN
her, hallncination. She became hyster-
icai with. grief and fright. Finally.
I brought her our records which
showed that only little colored ba-
by and her own had been born In
the hospital that day. That convinced
her. but just think of what would
have happened to that poor woman IL
other white babies had been born
here on the same day"
In order to avoid a similar expert
ence the superintendent engaged .
fipger-print expert to instruct the,
head nurse in trying the system on
the babies. 1--WE found we couldn't
get good prints OF their hands" said
the official. "Their feet. however,
came out beautifully and for greater
security the mother is finges-printed
also"
Very young babies. II was said,
may look Just alike but their feet are
quite dissimilar. One child. the sup
erintendent declared, will have per-
fectly formed miniature pedal ex-
tremity, another's will print mostly
vague criss-cross lines and still an
other will look like" an egg and
five toothpicks."
Under the present system which
has been In operation nearly six
months, the child's foot is mixed and
stamped on the hospital chart of the
mother Although he may not resem-
BILE any one in the family and though
no one can tell where he got his nose
or his eyes or his mouth or the color

THAW FROZEN FRUIT
SLOWLY. SAYS o. A. c.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis. Jan. 15.--Frozen
canned fruits and vegetables can be
saved by thawing them out slowly
and then il the container is broken
either using them at once or recan-
ming. The better plan is to use them
but if this is not feasible they may
be recanned without the use of ad-
ditional sugar. Fruits will break
down slightly but may later be turn
ed into jam.
Peaches, cherries, apples, peais
and tomatoes were used by the home
economists of the state agricultural
college in experiments in saving froz-
en- canned products. To make the
most of the frozen materials the
specialists make the following re-
commentator.
Care for the frozen products as
soon as possible. Thaw out gradually
and if container is broken either use
at once or sterilize and recan. If
fruit breaks up make into jam.
Added sugar decreases natural
flavor. but maltese, sirup recon-
mended by the government as a sub
stitute, leaves the flavor nearly nor
NAL. Only products that had been
frozen for long time lost shape.

PAYS $1,000
AN OUNCE FOR
FUR GARMENT

NEW YORK, Dee, &c - (By
Mail. An American woman, the
wife. sister. mother or daughter OF
postwar Croesus (her identity Is
the secret of a big Brooklyn furrier).
received on Christmas morning an
$4,000 Russian sable coat. II was
a kind of dolman, garment of rare
loyeiiness consisting Of 80 skins
from animals trapped in the interior
of the Burgesin region of Wild
Siberia.
This extraordinary price paid for
luxury weighing a little more than
five pounds, was ut the rate of
sl,062 an ounce. The coat was
valued approximately at fifty-two
times its weight In gold, And yet,
this Brooklyn firm, which has trad
ing posts IN Alaska. Russia. and
other cold and forbidding regions of
the world. says that sables this year
are mot the most expensive furs."
An advance of so to rs per cent has
been made in these gifts for the rich
since last spring.
The palm for the highest priced
furs, however. must be awarded to
the finest natural black foxes which
at present are bringing $500 n
pair, enough to make ''set" con-
sisting of scarf or neckpiece and a
muff. Last year the price was
$4,000. Natural silver foxes come
next at $500 to $4,000 pair. and
it was said that there has been n
bigger demand for them this win
ter than ever before. The numerous
fox ranches" new industry which
sprang from a successful breeding
establishment on Prince Edward Is
land, it was stated. had no effect on
the market price of the wild pelts.
j. w. Argenbright, local fur i'm
porter with firm nearly century
old, explained that the war had
helped to make America the great
est fur producing country in the
world, both for variety, quality and
dressing" He said that while there
was duty of so per cent on manu-
factured furs and 35 per cent on
dressed skins, at persent there is no
duty on raw pelts entering the
United States, and this enabled New
York to equal, II not surpass. Paris
and other European fur centers. Fur
prcies were as high, he said, II not
higher, abroad.
Mr.. Argenbright said the sea otter.
of which not more than Is had been
marketed throughout the world the
past year, is perhaps the rarest fur.
1t is coarser and heavier than sable
or fox, a pelt weighs about ten
pounds and would bring about
$4,000. 1t is used for collars, cuffs,
or capes. In color IT is dark rown,
tinged with silver.
The only cheap" furs in the New
York retail market at present, 1t was
said, are Russian pony and Aus
tralian coney Cor rabbiD. Coats of
these materials, trimmed in beaver
or nutria, are selling for from $500
TO $500. A year ago they brought
half the money. The abundance Of
money in America, another dealer
pointed out, had stimulated a revi al
in Hudson Bay and Alaska seal. !
Coats of this fur, which some years
ago could be purchased for $500 to
s400. are now bringing $3.50 TO
$1,000.

there is so much playing of politics in
the Senate, this thing could all be settled
inside of thirty minutes. Both the Repub-
lcans and the Democrats are to blame.
There is the danger of another split in
the Republican Party. and it will probably
be along the same lines as the split of
eight years ago. The Democrats are also
facing this danger. But the man on the
street, despite Mr.. Beck's statement,
wants this thing settled and out OF the
way, and every device which has been
used to determine what public opinion IS
has shown that nearly every group wants
the league"
Judge William III. Wadhams also took
issue with Mr.. Beck. Judge Wadhams
was present at the first meetings of the
Peace Conference. and was in Paris for
many months while negotiations were pro-
ceeding. He said that It was false inn
pulse which actuated the cry that the
treaty and league were not in accord with
the principles of Americanism. Referring
to the mention which had been made of
President Wilson, Judge Warham said
"You may raise whatever objection you
like, but when Wilson went abroad he
went not as a Democrat or Republican,
but as a representative of the United
States"

DEBATE LEAGUE AT

President Wilson's Position Is

by Speakers.
j. Nj. BECK DEFINES POSITION
y. Wheeler Says American Executive
Is Not in Position to Suggest
Reservations.

When Edward j. Wheeler, speaking al
the luncheon OF the National Republican
Club yesterday. referred TO certain state
ments by James NJ. Beck and Senators
Rorah and Knox in regard to the covenant
of the League OF Nations as being "im-
moderate and Incorporate" a half dozen
voices shouted, mo. no; they are very ac-
curate"
Others shouted. Yes they are intem-
perate!. They're crazy" Mr.. Wheeler's
point was that the expressions OF these
men, prominent among the 'irreconcil-
sbles," were not the sober judgments by
which any man should be guided. Mr..
Wheeler quoted the utterances made by
Mr.. Beck nearly a year ago that "the
policy of Woodrow Wilson from the time
he took the reins of office has been a
black stain of dishonor on the American
people,
1t was evident from the outbursts yes
terday that there are several members of

ties were kept out Of the discussions. The
speakers were James NJ Beck, who took

Judge William II. Wadhams, both of
whom defended the covenant. Mr. Whee-
Ter and Mr.. Beck went over the chief ar
ticles in the covenant which formed the
basis for most of the discussion. Mr..
Wheeler admitted that he was in favor
of some reservations, but for the most
part he advoted its adoption, and he eX-
pressed himself forcefully as being in ac-
cord with the spirit of the document.
Unanimity Impossible.
. Mr.. Beck attacked the article whlch
provides for unanimity OF action among
the members of the Council of Nine, saying
that there never could be unanimity OF
action when statesmen from nine differ
ent countries got together He criticised
the agreement by which Shantung went
TO japan and characterized that deal was
"one OF the blacklist pages in American
history" He also questioned the advls-
ability OF having one man, voting In the
council, represent the United states. He
called Article " of the covenant the most
amazing proposition ever presented to the
American people-an infamous proposal at
which coming generations will marvel"
"If we go into this thing it will be a
big gamble" Mr.. Beck said. 1.-THE dice
will be human bones and the stakes Will
be empires. America could not very well
withdraw then, like welcher in a card
game at n cluD. A1neTlCd Is u HdliOn VI
honor and the threat of war is written
all through this proposal"
Mr. Beck said that, out of the league
America would be the dominating nation
of the world. and the worlds moral ar
biter He said that no controversy would
arise unless the disputants first consid-
cred what America would say. He con-
cluded his speech by reading portions of
Washington's Farewell Address, frequent
ly quoted by opponents Of the proposed
league.
Mr.. Wheeler, who followed Mr.. Beck.
took up each OF the objections raised by
Mr.. Beck with respect to certain pro-
visions in the covenant and attempted to
show how they were sufficiently offset
by other provisions.
Give and Take.
Following the outburst from some of
the club members at the mention of Mr..
name, Mr.. Wheeler said
Il will admit that this is not Wilson's
eague, but it is the one he brought back
With 'him after months on the other side,
when he found il was a matter of give
md take. You can't expect him to suggest
now, but I believe that If
Congress would make a fairly reasonable
the President would agree to
