CRADLE PLANS
HOMESFOR
BABIES
New Institution Has Novel
Method for Adoption of
NameIess Waits.
By international News Service.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, March 2G.-To
give to every nameless babe of this
city a name and home; to give
every childless home a healthy,
happy babe-that's the aim of
newly organized nursing home
opened here and known as THE
Cradle"
1.-The Cradle was established to
meet the increasing demand for
adopted babies, which has come to
present something Of a problem to
welfare workers. 1t represents the
results of years of study and expert
ence in caring for homeless babes
by Mrs. William B. Walraith, in
charge. put into practice. And.
Mrs. Walraith asserts, it is to be
operated along lines entirely differ.
ent from those Of any similar or
ganization in the past.
An ideal nursery will be one fea-
ture. There eight babies will be
kept at all times under the care of
a nurse, skilled in the care of chill
dren. These children will be avail
able for adoption.
Couples will take the children
given them or none, according to
the plan. They will not be per.
they were strawberries" AS one
woman prominent in putting the
home into operation put it. Mrs.
Walraith will, under the plan,
choose a babe she thinks best
suited to the needs Of the couple
calling. That babe and no other
will even be shown them. Under
this arrangement, it is pointed out,
there will be no ''leftovers and
hand me downs"
In addition to caring for babes
whose parents are unable to give
them a home. or foundlings, "The
Cradle" will be made a haven for
girls who have met with misfor-
tune. There they will find women
who have been mothers and who
will listen to their stories without
danger that their misfortunes shall
| become public. Babes born to un-
! fortunate girls will be given homes.
The foster parents will be told the
child's full history-without reveal.
/ ing the identity of the mother.
! Funds to operate THE Cradle
have been obtained by popular sub
scription.

Flight of the Dove.
The sacred fire has been brought
earlier in the morning by priests
in procession, first to the baptlstry
and then to the high altar in the
Duomo. The dove is a mechanical
device containing a fuse.
Mass is finished. it is just sbout
noon, and a great feeling of ex.
element fills the air. Then. a
whizz inside, the doors open, the
dove flies out, touches the car.
and everything seems to blow up.
The dove has flown well and con-
gratulations sound on every side
as the crowd melts away.
There is a second explosion in
front of the palace of the Pazzi
family, where the car is drawn, a
few bombs having been kept to let
off in honor Of the noble Florence
of long ago. That family used to
pay for the celebration, but now
the expenses are borne by the Com
mune.

But within minute after the
