NATURALIZATION
Cuts Little Ice
BY ARTHUR REID.

A baby bureau in New York has
just announced with solemnity be-
fitting the outgiving OF important
news that "the pretty baby holds
little advantage over the homely one
in the matter OF adoption" There
is a bit of speculation as 10 the
why of this, which presumably is
REGARDED as an anomaly. but the
guesses are wide of the mark.
There is, in truth, nothing mysteri-
Gus about the fact stated. Love
gives the impulse to adoption. Love
sees all banies as beautiful.
The devoted mother finds beauty
I'm every feature of her child's face,
no matter how distorted II may be.
People who would adopt babies are
devoted in advance OF the selection
of the child. They get a pretty
one, whatever IL may look like to
the less blessed in spirit So there
really is nothing to wonder at in
the readiness OF people TO adopt
homely infants. They are not
homely.
Bu. If one were inclined TO apply
the cold rules of reason TO the selec-
ton Of babies for adoption it may
be questioned IL pretty ones would
be more favored. A pretty face in
infancy may be otherwise in later
years. There Is no certain formula
for picking the babies that will be
come handsome men and beautiful
women. One so plain as TO border
on the repulsive has as good
chance OF developing enhancing
features as another that wins every
visitor by its infantile pulchritude.
You never can tell what a baby will
become. either as to appearance or
character.
II is that uncertainty which makes
the willingness of many people to
adopt strange children one OF the
outstanding human phenomena In
the baby adoption lottery YOU have
two chances. You get either a well
OF comfort or a bundle OF misery
But the prizes are all beautiful. for
love directs the drawing and love
sees no other kind.
Only unimpeachable accuracy can
put sense in the census
wonder what effect a hunger
strike" by the American people
would have on the general situa-
ton?
After all, II is the people who
consent TO be gouged who put the
profit IN profiteering
No longer is IL a question OF what
one earns. but Of what one wants:
and. OF course. none will take less
Chicago had the lowest death rate
last year OF all large cities OF the
world. Where have the gunner
gone?

'MUzzLE' ORDER TO

HEALTH B0ARD D
City Health Board Decides
That Danger From Rabies
Not Yet Over

At the regular meeting of the city
board of health, held Wednesday
evening, Chief Parker was instructed
to issue an order that all dogs must
remain muzzled for an Indefinite per.
iod.
After discussing the question. the
members of the board decided that
the danger from rabies had not yet
expired and directed that all dogs be
kept muzzled. Statistics were pre-.
sented at the meeting to show that
rabies may develop even after forty
days. Hence it was decided to en-.
force the muzzle order.
Chief Parker stated this morning
that all dogs running at large without
muzzles will be shot. Due notice will
be given when the muzzle order is
to be lifted.

he described the experience. AS one
reason for the lack of efficient SER

resident Gray remarked: efficient
employees were forced out of service

President Storey stated that the
railroads Of the country need 100000
box cars, in the next three years. The
facilities of manufacturers, if run at
full capacity, would furnish only 2OO,-
600 box cars year, he said. The
roads can not order all the cars they
need at present because they do not
know where the money to pay for
them is to come from. He stated that
1t will require $1SO,OOO,OOO during the
next three years to rehabilitate the
Santa Fe system, and that the first
problem to be overcome by the roads
Is the establishment of credits.
