SEEKING HOMES FOR | ORPHAN CHILDREN
Child Welfare Bureau Appeals to
 Local Churches for Help

| Who wants a child? This is the question the Bureau of Child Welfare is asking the church people of New | Britain. Practically all Of the local | churches have been or will be ap- pealed to within the next few weeks to find people who will furnish homes | for youngsters, who are being taken care of by the state. The kiddies in their present homes are getting the best of care from the commonwealth in which they some day will be voters, but the Bureau of Child Welfare wants to get them away from the at mosphere of an institution and into the real genuine home where the youngster will get the care and sym rathy Of a father and mother. Miss Katherine B. Beach, field agent of the bureau, who has been in this city for the past week or two, is endeavoring to form committee of the best citizens of all denominations to campaign for homes for the kid dies. Last Sunday ,Rev. J. T. Winters, of St. Mary's church, appealed to his parishioners from the pulpit to help iE this effort.
 If the children are happy and re- ceiving the best of treatment where they are. why do we want to get rid of them?" Miss Beach repeats the question put to her by her interview CTS.
 "Well, I'll tell you" she says. Have you ever heard about little Billy? Billy Is only 10 years old He Is bright happy little fellow, but he wants home. His parents are dead, but he cannot realize it, Why doesn't my mother come to see me like Johnny's mother doss?' he asks with a winsome look in his face"
 Tt is very hard" continues Miss Beach, 'to face these youngsters as they come to us, pleadngly and ask us why they never see their fathers and mothers like other children"
 And so the churches of New Brit ain are asked to find good Christian homes for as large a portion as pos sible of the 400 or 500 healthy nor nal children in New Britain. Miss Beach has established temporary headquarters at the headquarters of the Visiting Nurse association at 52 Center street. where she will be lo- cated while in New Britain. It is not necessary to take out legal adoption papers at once, according to Miss Beach, who says the children may be taken on approval for a reasonable period of time.
 Monday evening at 6 o'clock Mss Mary E. Duggan, deputy commission CT. win address the first meeting of the season of tho Social Workers club at the Young Womens Christian as- sociation, on this subject

ISOLATED
SUPERFLUITY
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

I am now in receipt Of a letter
which explains all the things that
have long wondered about.
The letter is anonymous. 1t could
not well be otherwise. No man would
dare sign his name to such a fulmi-
mating compendium of information.
1t Is strange how you wonder and
wonder about the mysteries of life,
the complexities of mathematics and
the idiosyncrasies of insanity, and go
on wondering and wondering, and
then somebody comes along and makes
the whole thing clear.
That is the case with this letter. I
give 1t accurately as 1t was written.
! know that the reader will be as
astounded as I am at the utter sim
plicity and clarity of the writer's
views l understand some of our
English critics have been complain
ing of the commonplaceness of my
pIatitudes. Here at least is something
that surely will excite their admira-
tion. The letter follows:
MY Dear Doctor:
zev''s great straight victory for
America shows how the main
strength of our country lies in her
isolated superfiuity. What about the
predicted Napoleonship of Count Toll
stoy's great prediction with Papyrus
the league of nations newspaper
champ beaten by five lengths. Can it
the salt monopoly when 1t comes to
considering political conditions in the
U. s. In a vision, while Mr. Wilson
was President down in Washington, 1
once saw symbolization of the pre-
vailing political issue concerning the
democratic and republican parties in
that i saw a thoroughbred pair of
horses or super-aSses at a race 1t
led me to take up the study Of horse
Racing of which l was then in all
most total ignorance.
But j found it to be largely n
branch of the modern science Of gov
ernment well worth a Marines at
tention.
Our politicians and Statesmen being
what they are can you tell II the de-
velopment of the world war as 1t
parallelled these events in the United
States Marine Corps in 1911 that
centered on August Is of that year in
a place in the United States Navy
Yard at Norfolk. Va, known as the
st. Helena Brig.-are they to be in
terpreted as precaution for or
against them in 1924.
Yours truly Still,
the New Napolean."
