On August 90, 1926, the Baltimore.& & Ohio intro
duced an innovation in travel convenience to New
York-Train Connection Motor Coach Service.
This modern and convenient service -
which carries passengers and their hand-baggage
directly from the trainside into the Heart of New
York-has met with such wide public acceptance
that more adequate station facilities have become
necessary, resulting in the opening of this larger
and thoroughly modern Motor Coach Station =

I'VE don't quite know what the moral
Of this should be other than the obvi-
Gus advice for girls to marry when
they get chance, and young men to
take their time and be cautious"
Taking it for granted that these sta
tiStics will be studied feveTishly, either
with hope or with fear, by every reader
who falls within the company's CLASH
fcation, the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle goes deeper into the subject,
trying not to appear too serious, thus:
"One learns that at the age OF 40 q
young man has a Al per cent chance OF
being alive and married within the next
10 years, but whether this is to be taken
as an encouragement or q warning, the
company does not state. The girl OF
20 has a somewhat higher percentage
of matrimonial risk than the boy, but
after that age her stock begins to go
down, while for the young man it rises,
and he is in increasing danger Of the
altar until he reaches middle age.
THE one momentouS fact that we
can discover from a study of the whole
situation is that there is no period from
the age of is years upward that one is
entirely immune from the possibility
Of marriage. To be sure, the percent

Straight Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

There is no excuse for any club
woman being in arrears for dues or
house account bills. Being in debt to
ones club or clubs is the most serious
of all club crimes, and it is serious
enough to make one subject to eXpul-
sion.
OF course women in debt to clubs
present the i1variable explanation,
"they didn't realize their bill amounted
to so much" BY r1eglecting a bill
from month to month it grows proper
tionately, and soon its size is almost
staggering.
Because a club debt is a debt Of
honor as well as business debt, 1t
should be paid promptly. If one knows
in advance that she will be short OF
funds at the end of any month, it Is
wise for her to refrain from club &C
tivities for that month, so her house
account will be unused.
Dues should appear on the club
woman's budget, so that they may be
paid when due without difficulty. AT

When they began to consider brick

Booth had done his work efficiently.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A pscifier used to be pretty COM
mon object In the mouths OF young
babies. In fact, paciflers, one would
think, were used as decorative finish.
The baby had one that matched his
coat or the strings of his bonnet and
was tied itself with coquettish bow.
Nowadays mothers have become self
conscious about pacifiers. They realize
that they are considered an evidence of
ignorance and neglect, and SO If baby
has pacifler 1t Is kept under cover
and handed to him surrept!ttously when
no one is looking.
There is never the least excuse for
giving pacifler. The baby who sucks
his thumb has this talsen away from
him. ana 1t is a less harmful habit,
taken all in all, than a pacifier. The
need for pacifler indicates in most
cases the need for food. and no mother
is going to give baby pacifier when
he is starving to death.
In letter before me the mother
says: MY baby has been fretful ever
since he was born, but we didn't know
why. We took him to a doctor and he
put him on bottle and now he is
to doctor we bought pacifier to keep
him quiet. Now, since he has the bottle
he will lie sometimes without crying,
at others we have to give him the pacl-
fer. My friends tell me I should not
give 1t to him. Do you think 1t is
wrong? The baby gets no air from It,"
Instead'o OF finding out why the baby
cried the mother bought pac.her I
am sure she sees now how short-sighted
a policy that was. Babies don't cry for
pactfiers; they don't cry because they
want something in their mouths for
amusement; they cry because they are
hungry.
1t makes no difference except in de-
gree whether the pacider is solid one
or the nipple of an ordinary bottle.
The habit which 1t encourages is the
sucking habit, and constant sucking
has real and noticeable results. Nest
mothers know this. The constant suck
ing tends to heighten the roof Of the
mouth. which in turn throws the teeth
ont Of alignment and causes what are
known as buck tecth." Constant suck
ing encourages the growth Of adenoid5
And the habit itself is an cnslaving
one. The child can't be satisfied with
out something In his mouth. Children
3 and 4 years old run around holding
pacifiers in their mouths and dropping
them only long enough to cat or when
they are asleep. A miserable habit
when 1t gets to these proportions and
one most difficult to eradicate.
feel sure you see now. Mrs. G. o. M,
that your mistake in buying a pacifier
was a serious one. Next time hunt for
the cause Of the crying instead of find
ing some artificial way TO stop it. And
throw the pacifer away today. Throw
1t where you can't get at it, no matter
how baby cries.
Small babies Jump at loud noises.
They are prone to jump in their sleep.
In the tiny baby this is not an unusual
condition and demands no special treat
ment. Babies must get used to the ordi-
nary noises of household When baby
is well satisfied and we'll fed and begins
to put on fat. he'll likewise cease to
exhibit these evidences Of nervousness.

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

July 20, 1863-John Lancaster, a boy
OF 15 years Of age, was arrested today
and committed to the old Capitol pri-
son by order Of Provost Marshal Todd
on a charge of giving information to
the enemy. This Is regarded as one Of
the most important arrests for this Of
tense made by the Federal military au-
thorities.
Young Lancaster at one time was en-
ployed in the Office of the American
Telegraph, but lately had been employed
IN bearing dispatches to and from the
War Department. His father holds
an important position at Richmond
under the Confederate government. and
his brother. Samuel Lancaster, Is an
officer on the staff of Gen. Lee.
Information was recently given to
Capt. johnson Of the provost marshal's
office that dispatches intended for the
War Department frequently failed to
arrive there. He at once began an in
vestigation to learn the cause. Finally
he succeeded in discovering that young
John Lancaster was in the habit Of
opening all the dispatches intrusted TO
him, and. when he found anything Of
Importance in them, would hold them
out, and then, when an opportunity
presented itself he would forward them
either to his father or to his brother.
Capt. Johnson's work In stopping this
SERIOUS leak has Deen IllBIlly commend"
ed at the War Department.
