LETTER FROM MRS. MARY
ALDEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON
MIR. JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT
~ DEAR Holm:

MY DEAR JOHN:
I do not wonder that you an.
nounced to me the news of your
adoption of a child through the clip
ping from daily paper without any
comment. I cannot understand why
you would do such a terrible thing.
particularly after my telegram to
you which I sent Immediately upon
receiving Mrs. Hamilton's letter tell
ing me that you had some ridiculous
ideas Of doing this silly thing.
John. have you no pride of an
cestry? When I think that you. a
direct descendant of John Alden,
should take into your home some
nameless brat whose mother had no
more maternal love for her offspring
than to leave it before your door. I
turn sick. And that you further
have insulted your illustrious prede-
cessors by giving that child not only
your name but the name Of the an
cestor of whom we are most proud
John Alden! 1t seems incredible.
Why John, do you realize that this
child is probably Legitimate? No
woman, no matter how poor, would
give up a child in this way. refusing
to disclose her identity, unless that
child was born in disgrace.
The only reason I can think of
whereby Mrs. Hamilton would agree
to this awful piece of insanity is
that both she and her husband have
come, as you might say. from the
soil, and they have no feeling of the
duties and responsibilities that De-
long to us who count among our
progenitors the splendid Puritan
forefathers who built up this coun-
try.
I do not think I shall ever recover
from this terrible disgrace. OF course
sou know it is all silly nonsense that
Leslie would not have recovered If
she had not had baby given her
Other women have lost children and
still retained their sanity. Leslies
mind must be weaker than even ]
thought it was.
You must never expect to bring
that child into my house. You must
never expect 1t to be given, in my
will, any of the heirlookns which
have come down to us from the John

PRESIDENT ORDERS
PROBE INTO HIGH
PRICES OF SUGAR
Harding Ready to Reduce
Tariff If That Will
Help.
st. Augustine, Fla, March o.

st. Augustine, Fla, March 2s.-
Investigation by the United States
tariff commission into the tariff rates
on sugar to the present increased
sugar prices was ordered yesterday by
President Harding.
The inquiry was requested by the
President in the following telegram TO
Thomas o. Marvin, chairman of the
tariff commission:
Make an immediate inquiry into
the relation of the sugar tariff to the
current prices of that commodity. Ii
is difficult to believe that the duty
on sugar can have any part in max
ing the abnormal prices which pre-
vail. but, if the commission finds there
is any ground for believing the duty
to be even partially responsible. |
shall be ready to proclaim a reduction
In sugar as provided by law"
The presidential order, it was ex-
planned, will result in enlisting an
other official agency in the govern
ment's endeavors to ascertain response
bility for the gradual increase in
sugar prices starting early in Febru-
airy, when sugar was selling at ) and
u cents pound retail, as compared
with present quotations running as
high as l. cents.

sufficiently last night TO take fall
out of cupid's bow.
Publicity and the stareS OF those
TO whom he was pointed out as "Har-

sailed forth from the dormitory late
yesterday with the parting TO his
roommate:

man. As long as you fellows knew |

Harvard is wondering this morning
whether Mcleod carried out his
threat. But Mcleod. as the old say

when Harvard set about TO take q
