BAY STEAMER
BURNED AT HER PIER
IN BAL |MORE HARBOR

The steamer Old Point Comfort, for
80 years one of the popular excurs-
ion vessels plying the waters OF
Chesapeake Bay, is no more. Fire
thought to have been caused by a
lighted cigarette carelessly thrown
aside. burned her to the waters edge
at Pier No. 1, Pratt street, Baltimore,
early Sunday morning.
The steamer is well known about
local waters having been for several
months used as relief boat of the
Governor Harrington. on the Clai-
borne-Anna polls ferry route. She be-
longed to the Baltimore, Chesapeake
and Atlantic Railways. Years ago she
operated in Hampton Roads, Va.
The old side-wheeler. went through
her 30 years without an accident. She
is lying in about II feet of water
near the end of the pier. Her hull
is intact. but her interior is a mass
of charred woodwork, and before she
can be put in service she will have
to be practically rebuilt.
a. II. Seth, superintendent of the
line, declared he was unable to esti-
mate the damage. The ship when
built cost in the neighborhood of
100000. but officials admit that it
will be impossible to duplicate even
the hull for that amount. Pending
an investigation by insurance agents
no nlans can he announced as to re-
building the boat, Mr.. Seth, said.
The Old Point Comfort was an iron
steamer built at Wilmington, Del, in
1856 for the Pennsylvania railroad
for the ferry between Cape Charles
City and Norfolk. She was a combi-
nation freight and passenger vessel,

The building trend was well illus

10 what little extent property owners
were going toward filing the need

for encouragement of BODYBUILDING,
including cooperative ventures and
use of the citv's sinking fund for loans

plan has been advocated by Mayor

NEW YORK. Aug. 23.-New York
City faces a housing situation this fall
no less acute than which last spring
caused an army of tenants 10 march
on Albany demanding new rent laws.
Last spring the immediate problem
which faced legislators was passage OF
measures which would protect ten
ants in a city where every apartment
was at a premium. from grasping
landlords. Next fall the problem
which is expected to engage attention
OF State lawmakers is the encourage
ment of apartment house building.
The housing shortage this summer
has been the cause for sundry hear
ing by State and municipal bodies. AT
each was heard the cry I'VE must
have more apartments" But so far
there is little prospect that this de-
mand will be met.
Experts have given ii as their opin-
ion that next fall, instead of having
more flats. New York's meager supply
will be depleted by several hundred.
The reason, they said, was that de-
mand for office space, especially on
Manhattan. has caused many property
owners TO rae old apartments for
construction of commercial establish
ments which they could rent at higher

ance of this work by appointing SINH
lar commissions, and altogether al
most two-thirds of the States have
now taken some definite action to-
wards studying legislation as it af-
fects children
In almost every State, where such
commissions have been appointed a
careful study of conditions in the
State and of remedies that have
proved successful in other States has
preceded suggestions for new legisla-
ton or for the revision for existing
laws, thus avoiding the danger of
hasty and ill-considered action At the
same time a carefully planned educa-
tional campaign has been carried on
to explain the child welfare needs of
the State and the purpose and scope
of the proposed legislation.
Covers Health And Other Things
The subjects covered include the
safeguarding of health, school attend
arce, regulation of employment, pro-
lection against exploitation or cor
ruption of morals, special provision
and training of dependent and neglect
ed children. methods of dealing with
delinquent children and State super
vision of agencies aud institutions
The pamphlet gives a summary Of
organization and plans Of work for
each of the States in which commits
sions have been appointed and ar out

ton affecting child-welfare 1t con-
tains also list of reports and articles
relating to the work of the various
commissions and list of compilations

was no greater than expected.
DR.. Zayas was a bit more optimis-
