Castle Garden Built in 1907.

Castle Garden, New York, was built
by the United States in 1907, from
the plans Of Lieut.. Col. Jonathan Will
liams. c. E., and was called Fort Clin-
ton. In 1882 it was ceded to the city;
in 1924 it became a place of amuse-
ment, and about 1926 got its present
name. In 1845 there were Ethiopian
minstrels there; in 1S47-49 theatrical
companies played there; in 1850 Jenny
Lind sang there. In 1855 it was closed
as place of amusement and the com.
missiOners of emigration took it as an
emigrant depot. In 1870 it suffered
from fire, and on July 8, 1876, it was
burned to the ground. 1t was rebuilt
at once. In 1892 the depot was moved
to Ellis island and Castle Garden re-
verted to the city, which in 1895
opened an aquarium there,

BETTER BABIES CONTEST
DURING FALL FESTIVAL

A Better Babies Contest for chill
dren from one month to five years of
age will be held at the Church during
the two days of the Jnior Fair, Octo-
Der 9Th and 7th. This will be given
by the Parentteacher Association, CO.
operating with the Better Babies Bu-
reau, OF the Woman's Home Compan-
ion.
The Better Babies Contest is a pop
ular, yet scientific movement to in
sure better babies and a better race.
Physical and mental development only
are considered; mere beauty does not
count 1t insures a better race of A.
mericans, because it teaches parents
how to improve the physical condition
of children already born and to pro-
tect those unborn. 1t arouses inter-
est in the conversation of child life
and health and in all forms of child
welfare work. 1t forges connecting
link between parents and teachers,
between the home and the scientific
study of child life. And, finally, by
means of a uniform score card, it will
supply to the medical profession what
has long been wanting-the scientific
data concerning the normal child.
The Better Babies Contest is most
valuable to the community when it is
conducted along educational rather
than competitive lines. The greatest
return which parents and children Sc
cure fro mthe contest is more knowl-
edge and better care throug the exam
irAtion of the child by competent ply
st@tans. Small defects are uncovered
aM remedies are suggested. Parents
leaye the contest knowing more about
their children than they ever knew
before, and the children are given a
better start in life because of the
knowledge gained by the parents.
The children entering the contest
are not placed on exhibition. the ex-
aminations are private and the parents
are thus afforded an opportunity for
information and help. As there are
no charges of any kind connected with
the contest, and the advice the best
that can be secured, it is, indeed, an
unusual opportunity.
The judging is done by checking
each child's score card with the Bet
ter Babies Standard Score Card, as
supplied by the Woman's Home Com.
panion, and two bronze medals, and
ten Better Babies Blue Ribbon Diplo
mas will be awarded to the highest
scoring boys and girls.
For further information about the
contest see Mrs. H. A. Turner.

The Old Nobility.

In Venice there was a hereditary
oligarchy, an artificial institution un-
der which certain powerful families
arrogated to themselves all the high Of
fees Of the state. The absurd con-
servatism Of the Venetian aristocracy
led to their destruction. They were
so hidebound in rigorous traditions
that they were unable to advance, and
progress swept them away. In Spain
the hidalgos clung to the sentiment of
nobility long after they had ceased to
be capable Of doing anything really
noble, and the result was that the
Spanish aristocracy may well lbe de-
scribed as class of self-important
beings as poor. as eccentric, and as i'm
in,potent as Don Quixote. who thus be-
came a type rather than a caricature.

American Generosity.

the Philippines, an area Of territory
about three times the size Ut England.

the first time that Washington has
been generous. After the Mexican
war Of 60 years ago. when she had
taken California and other huge ter
ritories from that country. she paid
over to the vanquished nation q very
considerable indemnity.

Clothespin Uses.

The spring clothespin has other uses
than its original mission of hanging
out the wash. They make good paper
clips for holding sheets of wrapping
paper, paper bags,etc., and with short
bit Of string attached to each they
take the place Of clothes-hangers. For
this use fasten the other end Of each
short string over a bit of clothes line
or cord, using loose knot, so that the
strings can be slipped along on the
rope. Then when the rope is fastened

a room the little hangers can be moved
into place to clip the folded skirts,

THREE SIMPLE RULES FOR
BATTERY CARE

1. Keep the solution a half-inch q
bove the top of the plates to each
cell as needed.
2. Keep the battery fully charged.
A hydrometer reading of each cell at
intervals OF two weeks will definitely
determine the state of charge. II a
partially charged condition is shown,
have the battery charged from an out
side source.
3. Keep the terminal connections
clean and tight A thin coat of vase
lin will keep them clean. Inspect
your battery regularly and care for 1t
as faithfully as you do the motor -
