BROOMS FROM PINE NEEDLES
said TO Be an Excellent Substitute for
the 3rlsties Now Used, and Will
LAST Longer

One Of the latest discoveries is a
new use for pine needles. 1t has been
found that the needles Of the pine
make a fair substitute for bristles in
brushes and brooms. They are found
in great quantities on the ground In
fir forests, and, owing to the large
amount Of silica IN them, they are
hard, and do nor decay rapidly.
The pine needles are dealt with In
two ways. Where they are long they
are simply punched together and tied
firmly, and a stick IS pushed down the
center as a handle.
The other plan Is to insert clusters
Of smaller needles In holes In a thick
Ish piece OF wood. These holes are
filed with hot pitch. and when this
material has set hard and dry the pine
needles are held firmly In place.
Elaborate tests have shown that
pine needles wear well. They are not
more easily broken than much Of the
material which has been commonly
used in Recommending, and, owing to
their hardness, they can Withstand a
great deal at friction

Italy and neighboring countries,
especially Switzerland, at the end Of
October held at Milan a conference
on child welfare to discuss, more spe-
ci6cally, seaside and country homes
for needy children, placement Of chill
dren in foreign countries vacation
camps; also provision of institutional
care in cities; state, local and inter-
national organization of child welfare;
better training of social workers en-
gagged in child welfare service, and
improvement of technique generally.
The public welfare department Of the
city of Milan, which called this con-
ference, is especially concerned over
the duplication of efforts, the lack Of
proper care in the smaller commune
ties and interactiOn between town and
country. One definite aim is that Of
making international cooperation In
this field a means of encouraging
closer relationship between the peo-
pies.

BOARDING HOME FOR BABIES
Institution in England Had Its Incep-
tion in the Shortage Of Houses
and Housemaids.

A small private hotel for babies Is
the latest idea Of domestic life. The
baby gets a change and the mother
gets rest.
The baby's hotel or boarding house
Is the product of the shortage Of
houses and nursemaids. Parents have
been forced into hotels and furnished
apartments, and as many hotels have
not the cOnveniences of the nursery,
the baby's hotel, where he or she may
be received as paying guest, is max
ing its appearance. There Is, Of
course, accommodation for the baby
carriage.
Two certified nurses conceived the
idea. They have established a nursery
in Hampstead, London. The walls are
decorated with ducks and chickens,
and each little guest has white cot
dentist are in attendance. The tariff
is about $13 a week. The little guests
may stay week a year or merely for
the week end, while their parents go
house hunting or holiday making.
"A young war widow, who has re-
sumed her former post as secretary,
brought her baby to the nursery, and
Saturday afternoon and Sunday they
spend happy hours together, while an
other woman left her little one in our
charge while she rejoined her husband
in the tropics. "-Contlnental News.

earlier Brook Farm experiment made
by Hawthorne and his friends. 1t was
no more successful and Sienklewicz re-

with the utmost ease from realistic

RENEWED TESTIMONY

No one in Middlebury who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Middlebury woman's twice-told story
1t is confirmed testimony that no Mid
dlebury resident can doubt.
Mrs. Frank Fighter, As Seymour
St., Middlebury gave the following
statement September IS, 1916: "My
kidneys became disordered and my
back was very painful, especially when
would bend over. Sharp twinges
took me in the small of my back and
the action of my kidneys was irregular.
In the morning 1 would get up feeling
tired and worn out and sometimes my
eyes bothered me because of the black
spots that appeared before them. 1
felt miserable generally. My husband
learned of Doan's Kidney Pills and I
started their use. I used two and a
half boxes and got fine results for
those symptoms have never returned
since"
On April Is, 1920, Mrs Fighter add
ed: II still think Doan's are a fine
medicine. 1 haven't had to use them
for sometime for the cure they made

Immense Herds Of Caribou.

Late arrivals at Vancouver B. O.,
from the Yukon report that wandering
herds of caribou are appearing In i'm
mense numbers on the banks Of that
river. They declare there are millions
Of the animals. Two men who tried to
get down the river just at the time Of
the first ice were held up for three
hours by a multitude of caribou which
were crossing the river below them.
How long the migration had been 60
ing on when they were stopped they
did not know. The stream of animals
blackened the water on a space one
half mile wide and continued uninter-
ruptedly during the period the men
were held up.

and lighting upon its head and horns,
which is without foundation In fact.
While 1t is true they can stand an i'm

of q king, beautiful hostage from her

Roman girl,
Vinicius was speaking to his uncle
Petronius, known to his own time as
Arbiter Elegantlarum, trained in all
the art and beauty Of Greece, wise,
witty, and learned, gayly stalking his
life in his daily battle Of wits with
Tigelllnus, who provided for the gross

tronus did for his finer and more
artistic ones.

Eunlce, the charming slave Of PetrO-

GERMAN Is SOUGHT
IN COUNTS MURDER
Propagandist and Suspected
Spy Known to Have Quar-
relied With Won Pickler.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YoRK HERALD.
ATLANTIC Cry, April 19.-The county
authorities admitted here to-day that
they are searching for a man and a
woman in connection with the murder
Of Count Heinr.eh Won Picker. known
IN Atlantic City as Henry Buelow, whose
body was found several days ago on
North Tennessee avenue near the negro
colony. County Prosecutor Edmund C.
Gaslsill would not make public their
names, but it became known to-day that
the man was at one time an intimate
friend of the Count and that they quar-
relied at the time the United States
went to war with Germany.
According to information obtained by
the police this man was very pro-Ger-
man, while the sympathies of the Count
for the Fatherland were not so pro-
rounced. After the quarrel the man
now being sought is believed to have
left on work for the German Govern
ment. He was arrested here on several
occasions for disorderly conduct and for
some time was watched by United States
Secret Service agents.
The fact that this friend OF the Counts
was engaged in German propaganda
work and the fact Of the quarrel be-
