BESIDE
CHILD
Parents Caught in Barrage-
In Bonus Camp; Girl, 2,
Third B. E. F. Death

An 11-week ek-old baby,
trapped in clouds of tear gas
near the Anacostia Bridge
after he was carried from the
burning Camp Marks billet by
his frightened mother Thurs
day night, is fighting for his
life today in Gallinger Hospi-
tai.
The baby is Bernard Myers,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Myers, members of the bonus
army from Ephrata, Pa. He
was born when his father and
mother were en- route here to
join the veterans encampment.
The night when the veterans
were ordered out of Camp Marks,
Mrs. Myers said today, she threw
her baby's clothes into the crib
and, carrying him, rushed up
the street, getting out of camp.
Another man and her husband
carried the crib. They said they
left other belongings behind.
Then Came Tear Gas
Near the Anacostia end Of
the bridge the bewildered family
paused and sat on the railroad
embankment. Just then soldiers
began hurting tear-gas projectiles
into the crowd of bonus march
ers and spectators.
Mrs. Myers said:
II simply did not know
which way to turn. We ran
up on a porch and the gas
came down. Then a family
across the street called to us
to come into their house."
With several other bonus
families, the couple took their
baby and ran into the house
of Frederick H. Lanham, 1103
w st. S. E., freight agent at
the AnacoStia station of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Fumes Enter House
Inc cnOKlng tunes followed Lne
refugees into the house and Gre
ated pathetic scene.
A small boy, Mrs. Myers said,
lay on the floor, crying:
Mamma, 1 can't breathe"
All doors and windows of the
house we're closed and the hus-
band and wife fled to the kitchen
with the baby.
Mr.. Lanham invited the pair
and the baby to stay all night.
That night the baby became vio-
lently i'll, his parents said, and the
next morning was taken to the
hospital. The Myers are still at
the Lanham home.
In Critical Condition
A physician at the hospital to-
day described the condition of the
baby as critical. The parents we're
at the hospital and had him on
sun porch for fresh air today. The
baby was pallid and listless.
He had been under treatment
for dysentery before the camp was
broken up, but, according to his
parents, had been improving un.

The big car rolled on its way.
Anderson turned into the park
he was driving himself and per-
haps it was the traffic that en-
crossed his attention and kept
him from looking at Sondra.
He said presently: Il rang you
up last night, but Mrs. Lomax
told me you were away"
"Yes." 1t was an effort to re-
member what she had told Flora.

They were driving through the

iSondra reused herself and looked
round.
"He rides every morning,
doesn't he?" she said vaguely.
"As a rule, l believe"
"Why did you ring up last
night?" she asked. She was not
interested, but it was something
to say.
"Only to tell you that | was
writing to you. However, as you
were not there, I didn't post the
letter. I've got it with me-"
She raised her eyes to his face.
"a letter" she asked.
"Well-yes." He took an envel-
ope from his pocket and laid it on
her lap. Don't open it now Later
on will do"
"Very WE'LL" Sondra said slow
ly, but she left the letter disre-
garded; she knew well enough
what were its contents.
"Here is Cass," she said alb
ruptly.
A man on horseback had come
trotting up to them.
"Hullo you two!" He saluted in
mock military fashion.
He a a quaint looking man,
and he sat his horse badly.
He wore rather loud check rid
ing breeches and a brown coat
with a leather collar; his close
cropped head was hatless, and he
! smoked an enormous cigar.

ENCOUNTER IN THE PARK

ONE of Marks friends, who had
been Justify cheering and way
ing his hat, came to Sondra.
"Can / give you a lift, Miss
KENT"
She started and turned.
"Thank you'll -"
Anderson spoke beside her.
"Miss Kent is coming with me-"
Sondra walked by his side from
the long, fast-emptying pier.
She felt as if she had to force
her feet to move-first one and
then the other-one, two-one,
two. -.
Outside, Anderson took her arm,
"Where shall we go, Sondra?"
Anywhere haven't anywhere
particular to go. -"
"Would you care to drive round,
and then lunch with me?"
THANK you"
Anything would be better than
going back to Flora's, or being
left alone.
She leaned back in Anderson's
big car with a sudden sense of
bodily weakness.
1t was all over-Mark had gone.
Somehow until the very last she
had thought that something would
happen to keep him with her. A
silly thought-for what could hap
pen?
"Do you think Merriman is keer
about his job?" Anderson asked.
Eyes oh, yes, I think so
He's very lucky to have got it."

SONDRA looked at Anderson be-

Her handsome face was a little
grave-almost stern, and he gave
no answering smile as he met her
eyes.
"Where would you like to lunch,

"Anywhere-you choose"
He mentioned a restaurant, and
she said, swiftly:

his acquaintance with the subject Of

have been far from pleased with the

which Routledge has produced In one

Burton did not want to write In Eng

ward the Middle ages. and he COM
plains bitterly that "our mercenary

prostitute my muse In English
but to expose this more contract in

Any scurrlle pamphlet Is welcome to

will not deal" However, he outwit-
ted them to some extent, for though
they forced him to write In English
and very quaint, characteristic. and
vigorous English 1t was-he packed

quotations. But this edition has turned
every one Of the quotations and ex-
tracts into English-so that at long
last, the mercenary stationers have got

Absent Minded Citizens
in Ranks of Travellers

One In approximately every 100 per-
sons travelling on New York subways
leaves something In the cars. Gloves,
pocketbooks, umbrellas, canes and pa
per packages containing purchases Of
every description from dill pickles to
rose point lace. are the articles most
frequently left behind. Among ar
ticles turned in to the Lost and
Found department recently were a
bass drum and kitchen sink. The drum
owner explained that while going
home late at night he awoke from a
nap to hear the guard call his station.
He rushed for the door of the car to
avoid being carried past, forgetting
all about his drum. The owner Of the

LIFE HAS ITS
MOMENTS

New York City (ILNS)-Life, after
all, has it's moments. Comes now the
Diogenes bus to the close of it's $4,000
mile trip, hunting for the man "sav-
ed" by prohibition. Paul Morris, di-
rector of the expedition, University
of Wisconsin, said the caravan had
not found a single person "saved" by
prohibition, though thousands were
trailed down and examined.
Jane Adams, Morris related, said
she knew of hundreds, but in every
single case some factor other than
law had been the saving agent. With
candidates offered by Y. w. C. AS,
Y. M. C. AS and the Salvation Army,
it was the same story.
The person "saved" by prohibition
is still at large, if there is such a
person, but, Morris reports, he found
steady swing toward ending prohi-
bition.

As THE WORKER
SEES HIS WORLD
Summary and Digest Of
Important Events Of the
Week. Mere and Abrsal

H. B. Butler, well known to Amer
lean trade unionists, has been ap-
pointed director of the International
Labor Office, to succeed the late AL
bert Thomas.
Joseph Franklin, one Of the Amer
lean fraternal delegates to the Brit
ish Trade Union Congress, told the
assemblage at Newcastle-on-Ty Tyne
that though American labor was hard
hit by unemployment, it was not dis
couraged and had no intention of
quitting the fight against unfair con-
ditions.
New York newspaper publishers
finally have agreed to arbitrate wages
and hours with Typographical Union
No. 6. Employers ask 20 per cent
cut. The union asks per cent raise
and 6-hour, 5-day week.
The 6-hour day and 5-day week
were urged by Matthew Woll, ad-
dressing the Connecticut State Fed
Grafton of Labor convention in Stam-
ford. He called for a new deal be-
cause machines had increased produc-
tion and reduced employment.
Vern S. Hill, manager of the Colo
rado Labor Advocate, has been NAM
ed candidate for the state senate on
the democratic ticket.

Labor, in session at Wenark, listened

Economic System Functions
Without Plan, Miller Says

Washington.-"It is apparent we
have all suffered the economic and
social consequences of an economic
system which functions without plan
or moral sanction" declared Spencer
Miller Jr., secretary of the Workers
Education Bureau Of America, in an
address at the National Labor Sun
day service Of the Washington Cathe-
dral.
SIT is SYSTEM" he added, "that
lacks both external order and inner
cohesion.
'Then, too, we know that it is both
idle and futile to ask the victims of
economic distress to bear the full bur-
dens of such a period unaided by
community sympathy or by govern
ment support.
Private philanthropy has proved
not only inadequate to the task of
ministering to human distress, but
the depression has diverted funds for
needed character-builing agencies to
the immeiate task of feeling the hum
cry. That is task that society are
not neglect at the peril Of its own
safety"

Mutual savings banks, which pay no
profits to stockholders, lead as a class
among the nations banks. They hold
more than $4,000, 100000. or IS per
cent. Of all the savings In the country.
Inasmuch as there are only 5S7 such
mutual banks and they are located In

banks, state-chartered commercial
banks. trust companies and private
