purposes, are situated directly under the childrenS dining room.
 "In addition to the fact that the boilers are pretty well past their first usefulness, their location is considered menace to the home" Miss Leigh said.
 Too, the buildings are in need of immediate repairs, If steps are to be taken to prevent conditions from getting beyond the reparable state, the superintendent stated.
 Homes Income
 Miss Leigh said that she believes the Newington institution is the only one in the state which is ct once Q home, c hospital and a school. Although existing since 1921 as Q seperate corporation, 1t Is chased as state-aided, and receives from Connecticut slightly under half the cost required to operate it..
 "1n black and white this means that the state pays about 48 c week for each child. Then we try to have the parents pay S2 If possible" Miss Leigh explained. "otherwise the town pays this amount"
 Actually, however, 1t costs about $l7 week for sach child, and the difference must be secured either from the so-called general iriemor- ial fund" created by money left through wills, or from general ap- pealS such aS the one now being made to the public.
 No Funds From Ball
 Tn the past the home has re- ceived funds from the receipts of the Presidents Ball, but this year, for some reason unaccountable to Miss Leigh, the money was not Forthcoming.
 The institution endeavors to be self supporting in aS Inny ways as possible. Of It's l3b acres, 4B or 50 are under cultivation, enabling the institution to grow an amount of garden produce. There Is also on accredited herd, belonging to the Home, and poultry.
 1S0 Children Now at Institution
 At present there are about 100 children ct the institution of which some sS are in the hospital and the rest in the home This Is about 20 less than average. Miss Leigh ex- plained, owing to the fact that dur- ing the summer, after the close of the Home classes, c number of the children return to their parents. To take care of oil tho composite needs of these children, the Home has c staff of around 100 workers, or an average of one worker to each child, although all the workers are not employed directly with the chil- dren.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-F. D. R. and his administration are trying to pick their way carefully through an as- sortment of situations which, there Is good reason to believe, finds the president almost as confused about the future as the next fellow.
 The future seems bit muggier than usual, even to the most ex- perienced sOothSayers, and one observes . tendency here toward resort t0 contemplation and prayer rather than gllttering gem eralities and lnvective.
 As to the international situation: Having abandoned isolation and stuck the national neck out into the Pacific, the administration shares the general wonderment over the question where we go from there.
 As to the business situation: The acceleration of recovery has temporarily stopped and no one knows just when 1t will be re- Sumed.
 AS to the political situation: It is far from certain whether the forthcoming session of congress will see some snappy action on the ad- mlnistration program or develop into @ general dilatory row over foreign policy, the Klan and other issues.

Chicago Speech Timed

Insiders know now that Roose. Velt's Chicago quarantine speech was definitely timed not only fol the league of nations delibera tions on the Japanese Chinese warfare but also for the period when Eng land and France were bringing heavy pressure on Italy to get hel troops out of Spain. But what thI early effect and the long-run conse- quences will be is as obscure as ever
 It can also be revealed that one thing Roosevelt hoped was that his own strong speech and the gov- ernments subsequent condemna- ton of Japan might frighten both Japan and Italy. No such effect has yet been noticed.
 In the back of the presidents mind, he has told intlmates, Is the fear that if the "warllke na- tons" are permitted to sweep on the time will come when tho other nations of the world will have magnificent armies, navieS and air fleets and the United States will have nearly all the worlds gold. That prospect, as we'll as the threat of rampant 4asclsnl, b0thers him.
 Many others, including n1en1- bers Of Roosevelt's official family are at least equally bothered by fear that the country may have taken first step on "the road to war" To some of his advisers, however, Roosevelt has suggested that one question at issue as Q result of foreign warfare is whether there's @ fire In our own apartment house or in some other house down the street.
 Critics Cheer New Stand
 Among confusing factors on the political front especially important If the International situation is go- ing to overshadow domestic consid- erations, is the fact that many oi Roosevelts most persistent critics have been cheering loudly over his new stand.
 There Is a possibility of . rec scrambling of battle lines Sn Washington, since such anti-ad- minlStratiOn StaIwarts of the last session as Borah of Idaho, John son of California, Wheeler of MOn- tana and other far.western sena- tors are likely to go along In any administration gestures against Japan.
 Tn the east conservative forcei are largely pro-English. And Jew everywhere, although many ma, have been disturbed by the Black. Klan incident, presumably vii support any attitude which car. ries frown at Hitler's Germany
 All these new factors are of un. certain weight-as uncertain to. day as the strength of the die. hard iSolationIst neutrality" ele. ment which will start shooting al the president when congress con- YeneS.
