Child Adoption Swindlers

Is there an organized gang of child
adoption swindlers at work in Eng
land?
There have been SO many frauds of
this kind recently that it is thought
they may be carried on by a gang Of
men and women acting in concert
and dividing the spois.
The victims are usually young, I'M
married mothers who have to work
for their living. and arc often easy
dupes for the bogus philanthropists
who offer to adopt babies on condi-
ton that a sum of money is paid for
initial expenses.
In some instances the swindlers
advertise that they want to adopt a
baby, but more often they answer
advertisements for a good home" for
the inconvenient child.
man and woman of highly re-
spectacle appearance then come on
the scene. assure the youngA mother
of their benevolent intentions and
offer to adopt her child
They suggest that she should paw
them something to provide clothes.
and gauge their demands by the ap-
parent position of the mother.
They secure anything from s25 to
$3.50. take the baby. and shortly after
ward leave it at the young woman's
home while she is out at work. AS
a rule they are never traced.
The secretary of the National Chill
dren Adoption association stated that
in one instance couple of swindlers
obtained 5000 from young woman
and returned her baby to her lodging.
three weeks after they had adopted"
it. They were discovered. prosecuted,
and sentenced to six months i'm
prisonment.

BIRD is FAST ON ITS FEET
California Roadrunner Famous for Its
Custom Of sprinting in Front u
Trotting Horses.

A bird known as the California road
runner has earned his common name
from his delight In sprinting along
roadways, especially when pursued by
horsemen or moderately slow-going
vehicles. In the picturesque old days
of California 1t was no uncommon
sight to see this bird running half
mile or so In front of fast-trotting
horses.
Another common name. chaparral-
cock, is given in allusion to his living
In the chaparral of the semi-deSerts.
The bird belongs wholly to the
West. Formerly he ranged from the
plains of Kansas to the chapparal-
covered hills of the Pacific coast and
from central California to Mexico. but
he is rapidly becoming rare. He is
