Landlords of Rome Ordered to Bolt
Doors at 10 PM. as Check on Crime

ROME, Italy.-Any Roman land
lords who have been SO remiss in
their obligations to society as to leave
the doors of their buildings open after
10 o'clock at night will soon find
OF police of the city has anything
to say about it,
The police have just plastered
Rome with proclamationS reminding
property owners that only one door
Is allowed to remain open after SUM-
set. and none after 10 pm. The
doors must have no less than two
bolts as well as lock.
All this locking and boiling of doors
Is part of the italian police system.
It Is supplemented by the vast army
Of concierges who preside over the
entrances of all Italian city buildings,
Ike watch dogs. and who must be
satisfied of the callers good faith be-
fore they will allow him to enter
the building.
Exerts Check on Crime.
BY means of these mechanical and
presumably human (there are two
schools Of thought on the question
whether or not concierges are human)
safeguards, the Italian police exercise
q surveillance over the public's move
ments which gives them powerful
check on crime. The system also
keeps most beggars out of buildings.
After 10 o'clock at night it is i'm
possible to enter a Roman apartment
building unless one has key or
knows how to pick the lock or unless
somebody in the building opens the
door from the inside. The concierge
is not obliged to open the door to
anybody, not even tenant, after 10
O'Clock, and in fact in most buildings
there Is not even any way Of rousing
anybody inside-neither bell nor
knocker. The tenant who forgets his
key must sleep in hotel. and the
caller after that hour must telephone
first and ask that his host let him in.
Law-abiding tenants frequently find
these rules a nuisance, but Italian
maids join with the love that some
times draws them out after 10 O'Clock
to laugh at locksmiths. Old build
ings have enormous locks which look
formidable, but often yield to the ex-
pert use Of hairpins Sometimes there
Is a conspiracy among the maids In
, building to obtain single key by
some ruse and then either pass it
around or have duplicates made.
still another system is to wait out
side the door until a tenant arrives

Few Material Benefits.
But what has this fight effecte

WdI-QlSdDleQ IleH-duQ 1OI Two Icd-
sons: First, the material relief which
vas long ago provided for actually
war-disabled men was fairly generous.
Second, our actually war-disabled
men are so few that, from politi-
clans point of view, they are not
worth wooing.
Some of the worst injured and
most deserving Of our veterans, it
appears. so little enjoy the stencil
that has gradually gathered about
the American World War pension that
they prefer not to acquire it. Only
25 per cent of the men today drawing
such pensions do so on account OF
injuries sustained in combat with the
enemy. And of those carried on the
compensation roll in June, 1882, as
directly or by presumption suffering
from World War service-connected
disability, 177,270. or almost one
third of the total, were taking pay
for injuries so slight that in coun-
tries like Italy and Germany they are
not recognized as pensionable at all
But let us go back to the simple
the incredibly obvious clew left be-
hind. in the onslaughts upon the
heartless and ungrateful American
people.
This clew is revealed in the atti-
tude of the lobby for the American
Legion, as factor in Federal legisla-
ton, toward the widows and orphans
of our true battle casualties. 1t has
cared for them not at all. 1t was re-
vealed, too, in the bitter fight waged
in the Spring of 1888 against the
economy bill.
Small State Provisions.
Sporadically and in minor ways the
Legion has here and there bestirred
itself to secure small State provisions
toward the education of war orphans
1t has spent some of it's own funds
on child welfare work. State and
local posts have engaged In philan-
thropic and social work. Its auxili-
aries have lent certain amounts OF
aid, locally, in needy cases. But never
has the lobby working in the Legion's
name exerted its full strength to Sc
cure right and just Federal provisions

killed in combat or who died soon
after the war in consequence of actual
injuries sustained in active service in
line of duty.
Had it ever made such an effort
its success would have been instan-
taneous, for the whole country would
have risen to it. But true war widows
even true war orphans, are a quiet
humble folk, few in number. The
favors of Congress, being won by
votes, must therefore be reserved to
multiply voters.
And so it happens that the Legion's
first hearty and determined blow on
behalf of widows Of World War SOL
diers is delivered upon Congress only
now. in March, 1884. The lobby
is now demanding at the point of the
gun that the widow Of every man who
ever put on World War khaki. even
though he wore 1t only a day, even
though he marry 40 years hence, and
no matter when or why he dies
that mans widow, 1t says, and that
mans children, whenever begotten,
must be pensioners upon the public
treasury.

Test Tube Babies Bunk
Says Washington Doctor

There is no such thing as q
test tube baby" according to DR..
Jacob Kotz, well known local
gynecologist and speaker today
at the annual scientific assembly
of the Medical Society, District
of Columbia.
Artificial impregnation, how
ever, says DR.. Kotz, is not un-
known, although rare. He, in his
II years of practice in the Dis
trict, has performed two such
operations. The children pro-
duced, now 6 and 7 years of age,
are perfect youngsters, healthy
and bright above the average.
In each of the two cases the
mother was married and her hus-
band the father of the child.
Although he performed the op-
Grafton and, in these two cases
recommended it, DR.. Kotz does
not believe such a method OF cor
recting sterility is advisable except
under very unusual conditions.

have remained on the alert for
any possible clues to the abduc-

Effort was made-apparently
in vain-to intercept any COM

and the child's abductors.
The armistice in the manhunt
was called by the girls father,
