Progress Pushes
Claflin Retainer
Out of Old Home
Garage To Be Built on Site
of Estates Gatehouse, Oc-
cupied by Gardener for
More Than Half Century

After living under the rambling
caves of the ClafIin estate gate house
for more than half a century. it was
jolt to John C. Tighe to be told
by real estate man two weeks ago
that he had to move out Immediately
A garage was to be built on the site
of the picturesque cottage that is now
a landmark in the Kingsbridce neirh j..
borhood
He sat up in his easy chair. re-
moved his pipe from his mouth and
said not one WORD when the agent
broke the news to him. His feelings
were beyond being put into words.
Yesterday he took one last look at the
stone stag guarding the gate to the
Ole Clafiin home, surreptitiously wiped
an errant tear from his weather beaten
race and departed for modern room
and bath on 1S0th Street.
The house may be old and crumb-
ling. but Mr.. Tighe had sentimental
feeling for it. His pride in the old
estate was hurt. His father had been
gardener for Mr. Clafin for MANY
years. His personal feelings suffered,
too It was hard for him to see whv
an up-to-date garage should take the
place of beautiful old cottage built
IN 1888. 1t. is of the kind that gathers
mould and alluring rusticity, and

1t has sloping red roof, slated walls,
LATTICE windows and is embowered in
trailing honeysuckle. There is only
one story and an attic. 1t stands
i mediately inside the stone gates
that guard the property.
II. B.. Clafin bought the cottage
along with the surrounding land in
1866. Before that time it was occu-
pied by family called Whitten. In
1857, Peter Tighe became Mr.. Claims
gardener and took up his abode in the
gate house with his wife and six
children. He died in 1908 and Mrs.
Tighe in 1913. John, the son, had
lived in the cottage for Sd years.

ties OF life and DEATH" he mused YES

crinkled his kindly russet face. "The

you know. The old man never went out
of the gate but once within my recol-
lection, except to go to church. He
had few visitors-just an occasional
friend who would drop in to chat with
him. He was just and honest man,

his clutches. He couldn't stand an

One hundred and seventy-fve thou

Of the Bureau of Child hygiene of the

made yesterday she urged the coopera-

being carried on this week to encourage
the use of milk.
Milk for children, at least a pint

tuberculosis and other diseases" DIR.
Baker said. "a we'll nourished body
will keep away disease better than all
the medicine in the world"
DR.. Baker declares that the most
pressing problem facing Americans to-
day is the vitality of their people. Milk,
she says, is the best remedy for under
nourishment.
Among the children of pre-school age
there are probably 100000 undernour-

Sin for America
To Lead Armament
Race, Say Pastors
Many i'm Greater City Urge
Public to Get Behind
Movement to CurtaiI
Military Expenditures

Many ministers in Greater New York
spoke yesterday against the increased
appropriations recently voted by Con-
gress for naval armament, and ex-
pressed their belief that now was the
time to decrease the armed forces of
the country. and that the United States
should lead the way.
The Rev. DR.. William Piersou Mer-
rill, pastor of the Brick Presbyterian
Church, said it was an objectionable
sin for America to continue to arm
when the crying need of the world was
for less and less armament.
DR.. Merrill admitted that it would be
foolish or wrong for one nation to strip
off it's armaments while others re-
manned fully equipped
"But if others would not join" he
went on to say, IL covet the honor for
America of saying I at least will not
continue spending over 90 per cent of
my national income on war purposes
He said the reason America should
lead other nations in such movement
was because America is the strongest
nation, the one with the highest ideals
and "the one most in line with peaceful
and friendly cooperation with other ma
tions.
"To adopt national policy
based upon the contemplation Of
trouble between this country and Brit
ain is sham eful." he said. "More-
over, the surest way to excite and fos-
ter bad feeling and suspicion in Japan
or Britain is to go on with navy
building without explanation or con-
ference. Both Of these nations have
indicated their willingness to confer
on this matter. And there is lust one
reason why America should 90 on and
build the biggest navy in the world
pride and boastfulness."
The Rev. William Sheafe Chase. in
Christ Church, at Bedford and Div-
sion Avenues, Brooklyn, said that the
President needed popular demand for
the calling of a disarmament confer
ence that he might accomplish what
was in his heart.
The real opposition, he said, was not
found in a general belief in militarism
nor in the exploded theory that prepa-
ration for war prevents war, but in
the fact that the opponents to this
movement were mercenaries of coyet-
GUS business interests, which profiteer
in supplying armament for the army
and navy. He declared it was neces-
sary for the peace Of the world to de-
feat these plotters.
A movement against increased ar
mament he construed as necessary to
keep faith with the men who died in
the performance of their duty and also
to hasten prosperity.
