lerca Needs Mothers Who Are Not Lazy Says Kathleen Nor

The girl, beautiful and fresh as n
daisy six years ago, is a jaded,
rouged, crimped wreck now, en-
gagged to the father of three small
children, who is getting his divorce
to marry her.
Their mother is a crushed wo-
man. She knows that her family is
a failure, and she weeps all day
and all night over the wretched-
ness of it. Her sons wife she will
not see. and she cannot bear to
face her friends, knowing that her
daughter has robbed another wo-
man of her husband, and that wo-
mans children Of their father.
"Yet what can you DO with the
youngsters nowadays?" she means.
"They all do it, and you can't stop
them!'
"And the bitterest thing of ALL

CHILDREN WHO OBEY.
This woman has begun already
with a particularly beautiful young
daughter, and an unusually popular
young son. From babyhood they
have known that she meant what
she said, and it will be strange If
her system, which has worked per-
fectly for sixteen years, is to fail
now.

CURE BY ELECTRICITY.
In one room I saw a poor maniac
undergoing treatment, in n chair
beside a great glass wheel she
dropped and paid no heed to the
swapping Of the long spark or the
ministrations of the trained nurses.
But they cared for her as if she
were n mad queen upon a throne.
In the next room n young girl
lay with her eyes shielded by Cog
giles and received tho searching
rays Of a quartz lamp on the grace

could not quite manage.
The visit to Wards Island
brought home to me anew the eter-
nal, incompatible problems of hui
man life. From the high windows
L could see all about me the homes
and shops and offices, the ships and
factories of the millions on millions
of fellow-beings desperately engaged
in making the best of their brief
stay in the world. The best that
most of us make Of our lives is not
very good. Yet I am convinced
that the worst things we do are
done with motives that seem best
to us at the time.
That grimy little tugboat in the
water cannot be an ocean liner or
a snowy private yacht for all its
willingness. That rusty freighter
crawling down the watcr-street
with its cargo from Ceylon; that
many-masted schooner fluttering in
from Maine-they cannot be other
than themselves.
1000 UNFORTUNATES.
Those women and men over the
river there must do what they can
with the bodies and the brains their
helpless parents helplessly gave
them as their neighbors helplessly
influence them.
Beneath the windows on this
Emerald Island and in the many
great hotels that cluster here are
1000 people whom life has battered
and whipped because their ma
chimes of thought and action were
badly assembled in the factory or
have been damaged in collisions

pressed upon me by a visit just
made to Wards Island, just off
New York City. 1t is officially
known as the Manhattan State
Hospital, and its purpose is the
care of the INDECENT insane, and all
sufferers from mental troubles who
can pay little or nothing for their
treatment.
VISITS STRICKEN FRIEND.
One Of the most brilliant and
lovable Of American writers broke
down under a prolonged strain and
his finances broke with his mind.
He was sent to Wards Island for
treatment and when I went over to
pay him a shamefully delayed visit,
1 found that he was already well
enough to have shore-leave for daily
visits to the city, and to undertake
the gradual resumption of his career.
While I waited for the next boat
back, the superintendent, DR.. Mar
Gus B. Heyman, was good enough to
show me about the Island and. re-
veal both the marvellous things that
are being accomplished there and
the still more marvellous things that
could be accomplished if he could
have a little more money.
DR.. Heyman led me through
vast parks and vast buildings where
more than seven thousand patients
are under treatment at the states
expense. Everything is clean be-
yond belief; the lawns and gar
dens and the agricultural fields arc
kept in perfect trim because the
labor costs nothing and the patients
need the exercise. No private
home could have a cleaner kitchen
or cleaner bedrooms, or SUMMER
living rooms.
IhEAIED IENDEhL1.
The best of it all is to see the
dignity and tenderness with which
the patients are handled. Severity
Is saved for the attendants. Indif-
ference or neglect is promptly
punished.
The bulk Of the guests are
paupers, yet they have advantages
that only multi-millionaires could
pay for. The finest scientific ap-
paratus and the most advanced
scientists are engaged in their be-
half. As DIR. Heyman put it:

GENEVA, March 25.-As the result
of a protest by Foreign Minister
Skrzynsky of Poland that Germany had
failed to make Poland payment for the
social insurance contracted by Polish
subjects when they were citizens of
Germany, the council of the League of
Nations has decided to examine the
question at its June session
Germany contends the operation of
the Dawes plan removes the necessity
of her making this payment because
the transfer of insurance funds auto
matically falls within the scope of
Germany's general reparations obliga-
tions.
The affair particularly affects that
part of Upper Silesia which went to
Poland. Poland's case is under the
agreement she reached with Germany
for the payment of 100000 gold
marks, due February /, 1925. Article
312 of the treaty of Versailles pro-
vides for the appointment of commits
sions to regulate the question of social
insurance funds from all former enemy
states when part of the territory has
passed to other countries, giving su-

Special Counsel in Light Rate
Case Drops Petition
y in Court.

Conrad H. Syme. former corporation
copsel, has decided to withdraw the
petition he filed in the District Su-
preme Court asking for a fee of ap-
proximateIy $4,000 for the services
he rendered as special counsel in the
settlement of the Potomac Electric
Power valuation suit, in which the
people Tad returned to them $1,000
O00sof the rates they have paid for
electricity during the past seven
years.
In announcing the withdrawal Of
hls petition Mr Syme said, in sub
stance. chat when he filed IT he did
not believe the, Public Utilities Com
mission or the consumers of cleo
tricity would object The payment
of a reasonable fee, Mr.. Syme said,
would have involved a deduction av-
eraging so cents from the refund of
each consumer.
Bells Letter Cited.
Mr. Syme also made public a letter
recently addressed to him by Engin-
eer Com missioner Bell, in which the
Commissioner commended him for the
services he rendered in the valuation
case and expressed regret that the
city was not in a position to pay him
for his services.
L was learned today that the Con-
missionerS made an effort at the last
session of Congress to get an ap-
preparation to reimburse Mr.. Syme for
his work IL the valuation suit, but
without success. Col. Bell said today
the Commissioners would consider
the matter again in framing their
next estimates.
Following Mr.. Syme's resignation

vided for his retention as special
counsel to the Public Utilities Com
mission fet' a while, but discontinued

PARIS APPROVES SPEECH.
Press Comment Shows Hope of
Progress Toward Accord.
Br the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 25.-M de Fleuriau.
French ambassador to Great Britain.
has finished his consultations with
Premier Herriot and other officials,
and is returning to London today or
tomorrow.
The conferences have not resulted in
the adoption of any cut-and- dried rul-
ing as to the allied reply to the Ger
man guarantee pact proposals of CON-
tingent points concerning the Euro
pean security problem, but the ambas-
sador takes back with him for presen-
tation to the British Office a clear idea
of the principles guiding the French
government.
The allies have not yet decided
whether to reply to the German pro-
posals by joint note or separately,
but are striving through the present
exchanges to insure that the reply
shall be, if not common in form, at
least common in substance.
Speech Well Received.
The speech made by Austen Cham
berlain, the British secretary for
foreign affairs, in the House of Com
mons last evening made a good i'm
preston in French official circles.
This was by reason of its style rather
than it's substance, for it was re-
declarations that he has not already
communicated to Premier Herriot.
The most reassuring feature of the
British minister's speech, it was COM
mented, was the disclosure that the
British government realizes that it
holds the key to the security problem.
Hope for Speedy Results.
It is expected now that the allies
soon will agree upon the ques ton to
be put to Germany in order that she
may make her security suggestions
clear and explicit enough to form a
basis for discussion. NJ. de FIeurfau
is fully informed as to the French
viewpoint on all angles of the ques-
tion and it is hoped the negotiations
from now on may proceed with
greater speed through the chancel-
lerieS-
The afternoon newspapers in their
comment find Mr.. Chamberlain 5
speech extremely satisfactory
No government anxious for France
security and the permanence of peace
says L'Information, can seek to avoid
the negotiations initiated by Berlin and

NEGRO USES RAZOR.
IN THRILLING DUEL
Granite Monument Company
EmpIoye Puts Daring Rob-
ber to Flight.

A negro robber armed with a razor
and H. j. Perry, employe of the
Washington Granite Monumental Co.,
armed with hammer, fought a
thrilling duel on the sidewalk in
front of the companys office, at 44S
New York avenue, today, with the
latter coming out unscathed, except
for an ugly slash on his clothing.
The robber gave up the battle
when Mr.. Perry struck him a hot
blow on the side of the head with the
hammer, as he was leaping out of
the way of wide sweep of the razor
blade.
The assailant, who was not .identi-
fed, ran through a coal yard adjoin-
ing and into the alley section to the
rear of Convention Hall, where police
and detectives were securing sheds,
houses and hiding places this after
noon in the belief that the fugitive
did not venture far from the scene.
Negro Was Rifiing Safe.
The fight between the company en-
ploye and the colored man started
shortly before 10 am, when the for
mer, coming through a rear door into
the front office of the concern, dis
covered the negro rifing the safe,
the door of which had been left un-
lock ed. but closed. There were no
NaluableS IN the safe except sheet
OF stamps, which the thief had in
his hand when Mr.. Perry suddenly
appeared, hammer in hand, intent or
repairing a window.
Grabbing the intruder by the front
of his overcoat, Mr.. Perry soon was
involved in a desperate struggle, dur
ing which the scene of operations
gradually shifted from inside the Of
flee to the sidewalk in front.
There were but few persons on the
street at the time and no eye-wit-
nesses have been found of the typical
life-and-death battle was being fought
in broad daylight.
RObber Draws a Razor.
After several futile attempts by the
thief to break from the grasp which
MIR. Perry maintained at his throat
in the expectation that help of some
kind would come, the robber suddenly
reached into his overcoat pocket and
drew out long razor
Il broke my grip just in time bare
ly to escape the sweep of his arm as
he swung the razor at me- Mr.. Perry
told detectives. THE razor ripped
cash through my coat, sweater and
trousers, but missed my skin, and as
bent out of the way l landed a
good blow on his head with the ham
mer. 1t must have cut him badly, as
blood streamed out of the wound and
over my hand. He Immediately start
ed running, razor in hand, to the al
