1t has come to the attention OF
the Board of Directors of the Day
Nursery that there exists some mis-
understanding among some of the
people of the city with reference to
eligibility for admittance of children
to the nursery. The impression
seems to prevail, the directors IN
derstand, hat any mother who wish
es to have a child cared for during
the day may leave it at the nursery
by merely paying the stipulated fee.
This. however, is not the case. In
order to place a child in the nursery
a written application must be filed
by the mother and an investigation
made by the nursery authorities
Children who have fathers working
or able to work will not be admit
ted. Children suffering from any
disease will not be taken in. But a
widow, or a woman whose husband
is unable to work because of illness
or other valid reasons comes under
the eligible list and may leave her
child at the nursery when her appli-
cation is approved. No exceptions
10 this rule are made except in cases
of dire necessity hat have been
thoroughly investigated.
The nursery management appeals
to the city to give generously to the
cause during the last -four days. The
sum asked is necessary If the charity
is TO function properly and the sup
port of the whole city is urgently
needed to raise the quota.

ROME, March (By The Associated
Press The throat of Enrico Caruso.
which was left at the time Of his
death to the Naples Museum for medi-
cal examination, was reproduced pic
torially by the Rome newspapers to-
day, which published the opinion Of
doctors, who describe it as the most
extraordinary development known for
vocalization.
Carusos vocal cords were twice the
normal length OF these organs. and his
breathing power was described as phe-
nomenal. The epiglottis was as thick
as that of the deepest pass singers
while it's attachment to the tongue was
of such a nature as to permit the
greatest rapidity Of vibrations, thus
accounting for the immense range of
the great tenor's voice. His lung
power was so enormous that he could
make the cords of a piano vibrate by
merely breathing upon them. The
doctors describe Caruso's lungs as
those of a superman, and declare that
from head to foot he was a magnificent
singing machine.

istration feels this number should not

The President described the situa-
tion to the committeeman to-day as
an "acute stage in the progress Of
the country, when the tendency was to
make drastic cuts without using judg
ment. He feels that many persons in
strumental in demanding such reduc

stability has arrived when the country
no longer needs an army or navy. The
President is known to oppose reduc-
ing the army below 10000 men. at

been developed to such an extent that

tlons in Congress. After talk with
General Pershing, in which the army
chief Of staff decried yesterdays de

100000 to 10000, the President called
In members Of the committee and ex-
planned that such sweeping cuts would
be disastrous to the army organization.
He madc it plain that the disposition
of Congress to make cuts in the army
and navy, while justified to some ex-
tent, should not be carried to cx-
tremes.
General Pcrshing was at the White
House to protest that the proposed
army reduction would interfere with
the plans for the organization of re-
serve army and for national defense.
The present actual strength Of the
army is $4,000, and at the meeting be-
tween President Harding and the com
mitteemen it was said that the Admin
