S|GNS OF SPRING
 AT CHILDREN'S HOME
Resume Building Soon--Furnish- ing Plans..To Cultivate Ground

With the cheery chirp of the robins, reports that mayflowers have been seen on the hillsdes and all indica- tions Of an carly spring, plans of Rev. Dr. J. F. klingbers. superintend- ent and founder of the Children's home turn towards d speedy comple- tion of the editice on Rackliffe Heights and the continuation of his cherished plans to house all his chil- dren under one roof.
 Heating Plant To Come.
 Although the clustering in the new building was completed before the cold weather last fall interrupted building operations there still re- mains considerable of the heating plant to install. Some of the pipes have been placed and others are on order. and will be put into place as soon as received, if the weather per mits. Work is under way to get the furnaces in as soon as possible.
 Bad Road Delays Work.
 It had been the intention 10 resume the wood work operations Monday of this week. The window castings, moulding. stairways and other finish ing touches, but owing to the condi tion of the road leading up the hill it was found impossible to get up with lumber. The ground is badly broken up from frost and mud and driving is extremely difficult.
 To Finish This Summer. As soon as it becomes possible to resume building activities in real earnest, it is expected that the major portion of the work will be complet- ed within a month or two. at the longest.
 To Donate Furniture. Various welfare agencies, church societies and other groups of people in the city are planning to assist in furnishing the rooms of the new building One group of women have planned to equip a room with beds, tables. curtains, linen, etc. Some one else is discussing a plan to furnish the dining room, while equipment for hospital is said to be under contem- plation by another organization.
 So many offers have been received to assist in furnishing the building by different groups who would take a room each, that Rev. Dr. klingberg is very confident the furniture prob- lem will occasion little or no difficulty Arrangements are being made to cultivate the grounds about the home this summer as usual and work there will start very soon. A portion of the grounds were plowed last fall and some delay in getting started will be avoided as result.

$500 TELEPHONES TO
Be MOVED This YEAR
Interesting Data Relating To In,
creased Business Of c. & P.
Telephone Company.

More than $500 telephones in
Maryland will be moved from one
pace of residence or business to an
Ter during 1922. This means that
virtually one out of evory twenty
tvs will be disconnected and recon-
nccted at another location.
Officials of The Chesapeake and
PotOmas Telephone Company esti-
mate that there viii be a total of &c.
200 new telephones actually installed
duling the year in Maryland. AS u.s.
ual, large number of telephones will
be disconnected, so that the total net
increase in the State during the year
win be about $500. There are now a.
bout $500 telephones in Maryland.
Last year in the whole country l.
$4,000 telephones were moved from
one place to another by the Bell sys-
tenn, at a cost of more than $15,000,-
600. In Maryland during 1921, there
we're 23,437 connections and 1888
disconnections, in spite of the fact
that telephone subscribers are prob
ably the most stable and permanent
portion of the States population.
To most people, the connecting or
d;sconnecting of telephone seems a
simple operation of installing or re-
moving the instrument. AS a matter
Oh fact, in every case it necssitates
changes in the cables and wires over
head or underground. 1t also necessi-
tates changes in central office wires
end switchboard connections; In sub
scribers' accounts and directory list
ings; and frequently requires the
running of new "drop" lines from
open wires or cables.
In the telephone business, every
day is moving day" Though there
are certain periods, especially in
spring and fall, when the number of
connections is abnormally large. many
stations are being moved every day.
And the habit is not peculiar to
Maryland, since nearly 100000 tele-
phones out of 100000 in the Bell
System were moved last year.
The problems of station movement
are among the largest problems of
the telephone people. 1t is only by
the most expert management of plant
facilities that service is enabled to
follow the subscriber where he goes.

ceedings and the publicity attending
the required proclamation of illegit-
macy have deferred many a child
from claiming rights which should
lave been accorded him.
1t is recognized that the United
States has Jagged behind Europe in
the establishment of enlightened laws
for dealing with illegitimacy. It is
also true that the percentage of illeg.
itimate children born in certain Eu-
|rnpean countries is far above that OF
the United States, but the question
has arisen as to whether the birth
rate would not be higher and the per-
centage of criminal operations less in
this country if laws protecting chill
dren born out of wedlock were made
more comprehensive and human.
States represented at the confer
erce are Arizona, Colorado, Connect
lieut., Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min
esota, Missouri. Nevada, North Da-
kota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Yer
mont, Virginia, Washington, Wyo-
r. ing and Wisconsin.

PLANS TO CONTROL EROSION
Gullies Cause Of Considerable Loss by
Washing Away Fertile Soil
Ways to Reclaim.

The gully Is one Of the things that
Keep rain from being an unmixed bless
ing to the farmer. That 1t Is an in
convenience and causes damage is
obvious, but in Farmers Bulletin 1884,
"Gullies-How to Control and Reclaim
Them" by c. e. Ramser, just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, 1t Is shown that loss is
produced in 10 different ways, and that
the most important Is the washing
away of fertile soil that can never be
returned
After discussing the different types
of gullies and their causes, the bulle-
tin, which is illustrated with photo
graphs and drawings, goes on to de-
scribe in detail methods Of controlling
erosion, such as blowing in and seed
ing planting trees, and building dams
Of various kinds. BY following the
suggestions and plans farmers should
be able to prevent further erosion in
most cases and to reclaim badly gul-
lied land. In some cases expensive
structures such as concrete walls are
needed, but usually inexpensive ma
terlals-brush, straw and stones-are
recommended.

Raisin Toast Wins
Guests At Hotel

There are perhaps hundreds of no.
tells in this world that have created Z
speciality In their dining rooms which
have made them famous, and which
are regarded by the proprietors as
one of the greatest assets they have.
Men, in travelling, will frequently
select a hotel which offers certain
preparation always obtainable, and
rhich cannot be secured at any other
lace.
A convincing example of this is the
nationwide reputation earned by a
great hotel OF San Francisco. Locat-
cd at the northern end of the Great
San Joaquin Valley where Califof-
MAS luscious raisins are grown, the
management many years ago con-
ceived the idea of serving hot raisin
toast at all meals.
