"This thing is worse than world

ager Of one of the big stores in Cali
patria yesterday. When pressed for
his real thoughts it developed that
three fourths of his force had asked
to get off next Saturday because of
various things in connection with
family skeletons. Finally the manager

MORE PALMED-OFF
BABIES FOUND
ATLANTA Woman Follows Mothers Foot
steps and Takes Five from
Orphan Home.

ATLANTA. Feb. 14-Atlauta's ia
nous adopted baby case took another SEN
sational angle Saturday when 1t deyel-
Opcd that Mrs. Eva May Swain of Jack
sonville, daughter of Mrs. Alice South of
this city. who palmed off IL babies from
Il maternity home as her own had fol-
lowed in her mothers footsteps and had
herself secretly obtained five children
from the same maternity home and pre-
scented them to her husband, who re
manned in ignorance of the fact that he
was not the father of the little ones.
After her first marriage, which was q
childless one. and ended in the divorce
courts, Mrs SOuth's daughter became Mrs.
Swain in 1914.
After two years of married life had
bless the home, Mrs. Swain, who knew
about her mothers adoption Of children.
decided that she would use the same
methods as her parent.
She received the active cooperation of
her mother. who. in October of 1916, OBJ
tanned the first baby, a girl, from the st.
Mary's Maternity hospital.
Two years later Mrs Swain repeated
her previous procedure. this time obtain
ting twins, two boys; following this, after
another interval of two years, she again
came from Jacksonville and took back
with her another pair of twins, this time
girls, the story goes.
In each of the last two instances Mrs.
Swain adopted the procedure she had used
in the ease of the first baby-that of re
siding at the home of her mother for cou-
pie OF months before adopting the children.
The famous South baby case revelation
came in Atlanta during the first three days
of February when the health department,
not having received the birth certificates
for the South tripletS which, according to
! Mrs. South were born on New Year S
eve. began an investigation.
Out of the investigation came the reve-
lation that for II years Mrs. Smith had
deceived her husband and had presented
to him II children as her own during
that time. including two pairs of twins
and a set of triplcts
South at first refused to believe the
story, but when his wife insisted on the
truth of the story. he at first declared he
would leave the house and have nothing
to do with the little ones. Finally a COM
promise was effected by which the trip
lets" were sent back to the hospital and
the other children, six in number. two
having died, remained at the South home.

to the bulletin of the Retail Millinery
Association of America, and the call for
them, as well as for other trimmings
is increasing.
Paris especially favors flowers for
her spring hats the bulletin continues

trimming may be if cleverly and arts

French houses have concentrated on all
flower hats that are unusually effective
In addition to the long. trailing
wreaths and clusters of delicately-col-
ored flowers, the spring hats are
trimmed with blossoms made of yacca,
velvet, patent leather, braid, ribbon
and self fabric. Hand-painted flowers
of silk, chiffon. satin and muslin are
also used. Fruits are beginning to be
used but only i'll a small way as yet

Russell Sage and His Fortune.
 The estate of the late Mrs. Margaret Olivia Sage, widow of Russell Sage, has been officially appraised at S5S,- 659,2 ,2l3. Mrs. Sage left about half of it to educational and charitable institu- tions. In life she had given away many millions.
 Her husband had accumulated the money by exceptional shrewdness and prudence as speculator and money lender in Wall Street. He did not take it from the poor, but from Wall Street speculators-we might say gamblers-like himself, who did not play the Wall Street game ss sueeess- fully as he did. Russell Sage spent little and wasted nothing. He cared not a straw for show, pomp and vanity It was said of him-probablY in jest that he wore $10 suits of clothes wheo he couldn't find any cheaper ones.
 Such men do not either produce or consume; they neither help the world nor hurt it, nor do they take 8 penny with them when they die. They are simply temporary reservoirs for funds which are quickly invested in useful works, like railroads, mining, manu- factures, hotels and dwellings, and which will eventually filter back. in one form or another, into the gpockets of the people.-Ex.
