Homesick Youngster From Cal
ifornia Found Half Starved
i'm Hoboken Street

William Rudy, fifteen-year-old Bel
gian lad, was found exhausted and
half starved in River Street, Hoboken,
yesterday. At st. Mary's Hospital,
where he was taken, he told nurses and
the police he had worked his way from
Berkeley, Calf, where he had been
living at the home of United States
army officer, WHO brought him to the
United States at the end of the war,
Rudy said he had come all the way
from California to Hoboken to ship as
a sailor or mess boy to his naive
land. He explained tnat Captain Thorn
berg, who had brought him to America,
had been kind and good TO him, but
his inconsistencies had been too much
for him and he had fed. He said he
had suffered many hardships in his
trip, which he accomplished by riding
freight trains, walking and hitching
now and then. 1t took him more tfian
two months.
Police Captain Edward McFeeley, Of
Hoboken Police eAHeadquarters, became
interested in the case of the boy and
communicated with the immigration
authorities at Ellis Island. An effort
also wasSn1ade to learn from the Berke-
ley police if the lad had been adopted
by Captain Thomberg.

nature experts recoil if they will from
tb;s bald statement, but we have $4,000
witnesses to prove our case.
The Coyote licked the Bulldog by
,funging his tongue out and then
matching his gameness with West
ern courage that refused to bend or
break.
The intersectional championship re-
mains in the Jones family, but ii be-
longs to the Howard section of the
clan For Iowa to-day beat Yale to o
in Iowa's first visit east Of the fertile,
Side-spreading Western plains.
Ths sky above the battlefield was
gray and somber, but it was no grayer
than Yale's once sturdy blue, which to-
day was dull and colorless. Where the
Yale line from tackle to tackle, with
& the brilliant Mallory backing up, held
with admirable skill and power. the
Yale attack was lost in the fog, minus
speed, power or deception, that in the
first two periods gained but twelve
fdIuS on fourteen plays. s4

fstack that the Coyote beat the Bulldog,
and q rising young star from East
Waterloo, Iowa, with speed In his .iect,

out Of his throat was Leland Parkin,

III. bowl and along the roads that led
from New Haven there were countless
sigrs which read: "No Parkin' Here"
sae was no such sign back of the
ns goal line, where it belonged above
other places. This fatal error cost
lsle the game, for in the second quar-
Ter Parkin parked the ball just six
lrches over the Yale goal line, after
sircling Mike Eddy with swift, twist
ing dash for eight yards at the most
critieai point of the day. 49,
The second period opened with Iowa

Parkin, big, fast quarterback, play

his share of Juggling the ball this far
along by ripping through the Yale de.

proved that Coyote can rot only run

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1922-03-09

Tho Florida Audubon society has for
one OF its detectives the disarming of
toy shops before Christmas, 1922. The
hope is that the younger generation may
be educated away from the idea of arms
not only as a step toward the elimina-
ton of the war idea, but also to put a
check upon the wanton slaughter of birds
and wild game which is one of the evil
results of bringing children up with the
idea that to Kill is one of the keen joys
of life.
Florido is Well fitted TO lead dis
armament campaign directed from this
angle. No state has suffered more from
the wholesale destruction of its birds by
greedy and constituencies hunters. But
the mater Is of uore than local concern
because many If the northern migratory
birds which winter in Florida are grad
ually beins wiped out,
It is one of the smaller arguments for
complete disarmament but it is not I'M
inportanr When it is seen what slow
progress the older generation makes to-
ward Kidding itself of the habit of re-
sort to arms. the education of the
younger generation to a different out
look seems the only hope if all the va
rious sorts of killing are not to go on.
That education can never be completed,
or even begun, so long as the toys that
kill are featured largely among the
childs possessions.
