Requiring Much Thought so

London.-What is the cash value of
a wife? is question which agItated the

slight modification"

mother brother and sister, left Bos-
ton in 1914 to visit his grandfather

birth of a baby girl, Joe is the sole
survivor. His father is a wealthy
merchant at No. 81 Albany Street,
Boston.
After being in Syria few months
the family was caught in the war.
Food became scarce. Joe's mother
died, leaving Joe, his brother and
two sisters with his grandfather. The
elder girl next died, and one day Joe
entered the house to see the grand 70
father strangling the infant.
"She cannot get food, it is better
she should die" said the old man.
Soon after his brother and grand =
father died also, and Joe became u

armies.

Higher temperature. fair weather

in turning the downtown streets OF
Manhattan into impassable quag-
mlres.
In some Of the more congested sec
tlons motor trucks, AUTOMOBILES and
horse-drawn vehicles were tangled
hopelessly. At Wall Street and
broadway, at noon, policemen worked
for an hour trying to Btraighten out
tho traffic jam. Lower Broadway is
still closed TO surface cars.
Walking conditions were worse,
owing to the thaw, and It was neoes-
sary in some places to wade over
shoe-tops in the slush and water,
which backed over the curbs from
clogged sewers.
The fair and warmer weather holds
out hope OF an early ending of the
snow blockade.
After a tour Of the city Street
Cleaning Commissioner MacStay said
the problem is no longer one of snow
removal, but OF ice removal. From
figures supplied by the Weather
Bureau. he said. twenty three inches
of snow fell here in four days.
Lafayette Street is covered with a
solid cake OF ice IL 3-S inches thick.
The Commissioner ordered the street
closed from Astor Place to the City
Hall to relieve the situation.
Mayor Hylan requested all city de-
partments to give all possible aid to
the Street Cleaning Department. The
Water Supply Department offered 300
lRborers.
