 Easter lilies and palms formed an. attractive setting for the we'd ding of Miss Elizabeth Herbert of Edgehill avenue to Frank Gilbert of Chester avenue, soE of Eugene Gilbert, of New Haven and Bristol, which took place at 5 o'clock on Monday morning at St Michae"s church. The ceremony was per- formed by the pastor, Rev Will liam J. O'Shea, who also celebrat- ed the nuptial high mass which followed. As the bridal party en- tered the church, Miss Winifred Delaney, the organist. played the "Wedding Music" from 'Loehen- grin" and Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" at the recessional. She also sang the offertory solo during the mass. The bride wore a gown of azure blue taffeta, with full skirt, insets of blue lact and. puffed sleeves. Her hat was of blue maline and blue mitts and blue satin slippers completed her costume. She carried q shower bouquet of pastel colored flowers. Her only attendant was Miss Mu- riel Gilbert, of New Haven, a sig ter of the bridegroom, who wore a frock of peach colored mousse line de soie. trimmed with brown, a brown maline hat, and her bou- quet was of roses and snapdrag- ons. James Herbert, the brides brother was MT Gilbert's best man.
 A wedding breakfast at Shady Tree Inn, at Cheshire, followed the ceremony. Later in the day, MT and Mrs Gilbert left on wedding trip, the destination of which was unannounced. Upon their return they will reside on Edgehill ave- nue,

ment which makes my best eff
forts look like a mere whisper.
Such is the following.
I tried it first on my own do
nestle outfit. We ended in the
pansy bed, after demolishing all
the best china, busting the

Dear Elsie Robinson:
have noticed discussions in
your column about the COM
parative efficiency of single or
married women workers. It
seems to me that it is one of
the biggest subjects before the
public today and I'd like to
have my say about it. I'm all
for the married worker and
here are my reasons.
THE MARRIED GIRL
She is superior Us a worker
to the single girl because she
is working for purpose. In
almost every case she is helping
to pay for her own home, or
contributing to the support of a
mother, brother or sister.
She is more attentive to her
work, because she has so much
at stake that she cannot afford
to be fired. She does not primp
for the office sheiks, because
she has a man of her own
whom she is tickled to rush
home to, to feed and pamper.
After finishing her work at
home, the married woman work
err is content to get to bed so
she can be fresh and lively in
the morning. Not once do you
hear a peep out of her, though
she may be terribly tired.
She is happy working toward
her ideal, and when her dream
comes true she is willing to step
out of the office into her home
to make room for someone who
needs the job more than she
does.
THE SINGLE GIRL
Almost always the single girl
gets to the office many min
utes late, takes more minutes
to put her first layer of war
paint over her unwashed face,
smears on the Cupid's bow,
then saunters o into the main
office to make : killing. If she

kidnapping of Charlie Ross

VI OAASAA ~ AS~OO
Now it is a Chicago painter
who claims that he is Charlie
Ross. Last year it was some
body in Dayton, and the year
before it was a derelict who
died in the hospital on Black
wells Island in New York's East
River.
I dare say it will go on thus
every year until 1870, each sue
ceeding IL months producing a
man who believes he is, or poses
that he is, the four-year-old boy
who was kidnapped from Ger
mantown, Pa.
When 1870 rolls around it will
mark the one-hundredth ami
versary of the birth of Charlie
Ross. Then, although the
Charlie Roses" will have no
one to listen to their tales, the
tragic story will live and be
handed down through genera
lions to follow.
Recently I came across
folder issued by the PinkertonS
on August %, 1874. At the top
of it was a photograph of the
curly haired boy and the sub
stance of the text was as fol-
lows:
DESCRIPTIONS
"On July 1, 1874, at about 4
D. M, Charlie Brewster and
Walter, the latter about 6 years
old, sons of Christian X. Ross,
were taken from the sidewalk
in front of their fathers resi-
dence on Washington Lane,
Germantown, Pa, by two men
in a buggy. Walter was carried
about five miles and there left
on the streets, but of Charlie
no subsequent clue has been
obtained.
"The accompanying photo
graph is a correct likeness of
the child when stolen He was
four years old on May 4, 1874;
his body and limbs are straight
and well-fOrmed; he has a round
full face; small chin with notice
able dimple; very regular and
pretty dimpIed hands; small,
well-fOrmed neck; full, broad
forehead: bright, dark brown
eyes with considerable fullneSs
over them; clear, white skin;
healthy complexion; light flaxen
hair of silky texture, easily
curled in ringIets when it ex-
tends to the neck; hair darker
at the roots, slight cOwlick on
left side where parted; very
light eyebrows.
"He had no Flemish mark or
scar on any part of his person
except from vaccination on one
arm, but which arm is uncertain.
Tests may be made upon his
memory. He can recite, Jesus

Description of the kidnapers:
No. l is about IS years old, five
feet nine inches, medium build,
weighing about $50 pounds;
rather full, round face, florid
across the nose and cheek bones,
giving him the appearance of
hard drinker. He had a sandy
mustache, wore eyeglasses and
had an Open-faced watch and
gold vest chain, also green
sleeve buttons.
ono. 2 is older, probably
about 40 years of age and
little shorter and StOuter than
his companion. He wore chin
whiskerS about three inches
long, of a reddish, sandy color,
and had a pug nose or nose
in some way defOrmed. He wore
gOId-bOwed Spectacles and had
two gold rings on one of his
middle fingers, one plain and
one set with red stone"
The kidnapers had been in
the vicinity of the Ross home
for several days and had given
candy to the boys. On the
pretense of taking them for a
ride they got them into the
buggy on that July day.
They demanded $4,000 for
the return of Charlie. and in
a series of crude, brutal notes
kept up negotiations with the
boys father for four months.
A CONFESSION
Finally a meeting was ar
ranged in the Fifth Avenue
Hotel in New York city on
November 6. 1874. Mr.. Ross
was there, but neither of the
kidnapers appeared, nor was
there any word from them.
A month later two burglars
were shot down in the home
of Supreme Court Justice Van
Brunt in Brooklyn. One was
killed outright, and the other
dying, turned to his captorS
and said:
"My name is Joseph Doug

librium over the face of earth.
For example, a favorable season
brought abundance Of forage
for certain animals, and as a
consequence, the deer, sheep,
rabbits and the like reproduced
in large numbers.
Automatically, the predatory
animals, such as the wild cat,
wolf and coyote, profited by
the increase in prey.
Thus, down went the mum.
bers of deer, sheep and rabbits.
The increase was checked.
When the numbers were
against the right balance, the
predatory creatures were forced
to scatter, with the result that
they, too, were soon reduced in
numbers. The balance was re-
sumed.
AUTOMATIC BALANCE
Insects give us another ex-
ample. Something accidentally
favorable in weather conditions
will bring forth enormous num-
bers of certain insects.
This offers favorable feeding
conditions for the birds, which
in turn results in less hard work
and more eggs-or more birds.
More birds eat more insects,
fewer larvae are laid and fewer
insects are produced the next
season.
Completing the circle again,
there is now less food for the
birds, their numbers dwindle,
and the balance returns to
equilibrium.
This rule works throughout
the vegetable and animal world.
Every creature lives off a fell
low creature, either directly or
indirectly, and automatically a
balance is inevitable.
However, nature with all her
infinite versatility seems to be
blind. She can build a living
mechanism that will fit and
function under unbelievably dis

couraging conditions, but she
cannot seem to look ahead.
It is a curious thing that there
should be not one scrap of evil
dence of the existence of a natu-
raj law that can look ahead, or
anticipate, and provide in ad.
vance for what is surely coming.
Going back to the deer and
sheep for a moment, we have an
example of this. When an un-
usually favorable year comes
along, they reproduce abundant
ly. This automatically brings the
wolves, coyotes and wild cats.
Could nature only look ahead,
she could provide against the
terrible waste that ensues be-
cause of this blind following of
rule. But she never does, and
the deer, sheep and rabbits are
killed and the predatory ami
mails eventually die out by star
walton until the equilibrium is
regained.
It is an evidence that nature
does not possess an intelligence.
It was not until a thinking
creature came along that this
rule was broken. This thinking
creature was man. His mental
superiority enabled him, finally,
to become lord and master of
all he surveyed.
In due time, he started using
his newly acquired intelligence
and understanding upon Dame
Nature, with the result that the
latter's delicate balance has be-
come upset.
Perhaps insect pests best illus
trate this. Modern agriculture
brought Superlatively favorable

ture, and we have the long list
of insect pests which cost us
hundreds of millions of dollars
loss every year.
DUST STORMS
The latest calamity resulting
from upsetting natures equill-
brium is the dust storm. Nature
never provided for the over-graz,
ing which has occurred, nor for
the grass roots to be ploWed up.
When the right combination
of drought and Winds came
along, thousands of square miles
of light top soil took wings, de-
stroying the productivity of the
land and causing all sorts OF
other troubles.
