II New York, Oct. e7.-This has been
the most important day of the week,
because it brought still another perma-
fnent memorial of a man that has been
pm his grave for years, and yet more
alive in thoughts of New Workers than
tmany a citizen still in office. Think
what you like of Theodore Roosevelt,
1.-THE fact remains that his was a vital
PITY which death could not quench.
And so in East Goth Sect, just off
Fifth avenue, they dedicated this after
lnoon, the house where Roosevelt was
born. Speeches and messages by and
Prom famous folk were spoken and
read and broadcast. But these are the
ancidentals. The real things are the
kplay room where young Roosevelt rode
"a rocking horse, and the library filled
with trophies of his later years. It's
remarkable when you come to think OF
ht, that thousands should flock to view
the possessions of man who has been
dead SO long, for ours is transitory
age and an absent-minded nation and
New York City is the embodiment OF
both characteristics. It's worth mo-
ment's reflection, the fact that on this
birthday of his, Theodore Roosevelt is
1still one of the towns leading citizens.
Their Prayer Answered.
All kinds of property loss resulted
from a roaring gale that hit us in the
midweek and for nearly As hours blew
umbrellas inside out, toppled steel
Framed signs from roofs, and filled
swirling cutters ankle deep. 1t seems
the people in Jersey prayed for rain
Past Sunday. They got it. The rain
came so thick and fast that many YES
sells couldn't leave port.
But it's an i'll wind that blows no
body no wet goods roundabout Long
l1sland these times. The rum fleet had
Ito throw some of its cargo overheard in
order to prevent being swamped and
when the cases of whiskey, champagne
and sherry began piling up on the
beach, the Long Islanders piled up in
la committee of welcome. The wild
waves for a whole day were saying a
kmouthful.
Meanwhile. an interesting squabble
bis going on between two societies in
Iterested in child welfare, both of whom
j OCCUPY the same building. The Heck
lscher Foundation for Children us to
lco-operate fraternally with the s. p.
lC. G. But now no more. August
Heckscher, the founder of his founda-
ltion, says the s. P. c. C. is more a
prison than a refuge and he has built
IA wall across the dormitory where the
AS. =. c. G. waits and the Heckscher
| Foundation waits ued to lie down to-
|dgether like the Scriptural lamb and
1.-THE lion. The S. p. G. c. children
Ncan't use the Heckscher swimming pr oil
thor the Heckscher gymnasium and so
ion. Thus the two welfare societies are
Eihaving a monkey and parrot time in
1.-THE self-same edifice.

III The s. p. c. to animals held its
lannual convention here and the Hotel

Hfooted-friends. 1t seems there's good
Hin everything from the jumping bean
Ito the centipede and there were indeed

ri Kindness to animals is all very we'll
y say we, but when it comes to catehine
