THE BABY CAB. > T' HK baby cab Is a round-shout-A tiered vehicle which can be usetj over and over again with ‘tnlisfiictory results, ami usually Is. Very few homes in which babies appear with cheerful regularity attempt to get along without a baby cab. This Is because the average baby cannot be carried for any great distance without causing a fond father to wheeze like a leaky accordeon. We have often wondered why It is that a wife who Is a model in other respects will allow a two-year-old baby to toddle down town, when she is shopping, and then compel the father to turn himself Into a human hack by lugging the said baby home with both lungs reaching out for more air at every step. In the curly dawu of civilization woman was kept in a lower sphere and was obliged to get along without baby cubs and kid curlers and similar luxuries. The Indian wife and mother carried her baby on her back, in a neat crate, which was a sensible and satisfactory arrangement all around. Today, however, we see thousands of embarrassed young husbands compelled by their wives to push a collapsible baby cab through tlic crowded streets, wearing a sickly look of resigned martyrdom. Ruby cubs are built in several models, and can be made to accommodate twins or triplets with perfect ease.

French Reforesting Devastated Districts With Seed From United States. On the battlefields where American soldiers gave their lives when the call from humanity came, France is planting trees sen! by the American Forestry association. Expressing the gratitude of the minister of ngriculture of France, Ambassador Jusserand reported to the American Forestry association the first steps taken to care for the seeds which the association shipped to France from Boston January 15 to help in reforesting the battle areas. Upon arriving at Havre the seeds were sent to the central warehouse of ttie forest school at Nogent sur Vernlsslon. Lnlret. In his report to the American Forestry association, Ambassador Jusserand said: “Most of the seeds of Douglas fir Will he sent to the departments of the Alsne, Oise, Ardennes and Somme, for the reforestation of the regions devastated by war.

Invent Queer Gibberish When Neglected by Hard-Working

Parents.

Pomona, Cal.—How easily the chain of civilization Is broken and how definitely its very maintenance depends upon every parent’s training of the child, is dramatically illustrated here in the cose of the three Keown boys. Harold. Udell and Roy Keown. ten, nine and eight years old, are healthy, physically normal American youngsters, living in a bustling town, who have never learned to talk, simply because their parents neglected to teach

them how.

The astonishing case was placed before the Welfare league of Pomona a few days ago by a teacher who. when the hoys appeared at school, discovered that while apparently otherwise normal, they seemed tiereft of speech. The gibberish of the three Keown boys, who never learned to talk Intelligibly. has a curious similarity to Hawaiian dialect. The following words comprise most of their vocabulary: "Ban—hunger. “Wan"—thirst. “Das” —sleep. "B-r-r”—dog. "Meah”—rat. “Oh’h’h”—spanking. “Oonp"—tree. "Sw’sh"—water. “Uuckuck”—chicken. “Bap"—shoes. “Deeilee"—pants. "I.ahl’’—shirt. “Chon”—train or trolley ears. A whistle designated a bird.

Preventive Rather Than Cure la the Watchword of the Modem Psychiatrist—Reach Them Before Crime Becomes a Habit New York.—Broad pc ..Abilities for the operation of psychiatric clinics In connection with courts and correctional Institutions during the reconstruction period are outlined In an article appearing In Mental Hygiene, written by Dr. Thomas W. Salmon, medical director of the national committee for mental hygiene. The title of the article Is "Some New Problems for Psychiatric Research In Delinquency.” The work of which I>r. Salmon writes was well under way In a numlier of Institutions, notably In the vicinity of New York City, when war Interrupted It. taking many of the trained psychiatrists into the service and otherwise curtailing the effort to apply the principles of modern psychiatry to the handling of persons accused of crime and those already convicted. Sufficient progress had been made with the work, says Dr. Salmon, to assure It of an important place in all future efforts to get at the roots of crime and delinquency and to make It certain that these conditions “can no more he successfully managed without Investigating the state of the organ of conduct than disorders of other kinds can be treated without understanding the processes responsible for them.” Its Importance In Courts. The beginning of the application of psychiatry to crime and delinquency was through clinics In children’s courts.

When Other Sections of New York City Are Afflicted by Contagious Diseases the Bowery Always Seems to Escape—Cleanliness a Possession Which It Held in No Great Respect by Denizens of Bowery. The astonishing statement is made hy an Inspector of the sanitary division of the New York health department that the Bowery, with all Its lack of purity, ami cleanliness, Is the healthiest spot in America, writes Frederick J. Haskln In the Chicago News. I taring the late Influenza epidemic the Bowery was practically Immune from the disease, and the same holds true In regard to all other afflictions affecting the rest of New York, he says. People living along the Bowery never seem to get III. Why? No one appears to know. It seems as if the mysterious element which kept the Bowery safe from plague in early days when the nearby town was stricken with smallpox is still operating. Tt Is possible thnt there Is some health-producing quality, still undiscovered, which haunts the Bowery— more powerful than sanitation Itself, or rather the lack of It? This is the problem that New York is pondering now, wishing thnt Sir Oliver Lodge were still here to help it. While the Bowery’ has struck a slight vein of prosperity recently. It still attracts the poorest classes of the city. It is the one street within miles of New York where you can And numerous lodging houses advertising shelter at 30 cents per night: where whole dinners may he procured for 25 and 30 cents, and where clothing is peddled at prices ranging below 50 cents. Naturally, clothing at fill's price Is not famous for its wear or warmth, so that the citizens of the Bowery are ill-clad and Insufficiently so. The men who patronize the lodgings wear no gloves or overcoats, and their shoes generally leak. But they

Impossible ms crossing the Hudson any other great river. Stores Shabby, Dirty. The numerous small stores which huddle against one another on earii side of the street, an* all in need of paint, to say nothing of soap and water. Above them are the dusty, silent windows of (he lodgings of the poor, with fire escape-; at frequent Intervals, apparently not so much for use In ease of fire as for supporting lines of wildly flapping, drying clothes. Much of the business on the Bowery Is transacted out of doors, hardware, second-hand furniture, second hand clothes, nondescript wares and occasionally hooks In the last stages of dilapidation being exhibited on stalls outside the stores as a lure to the constant stream of poorly clothed humanity surging past their doors. Most of the women customers are beshuwled, sometimes the shawl being the bright vermilion worn by gypsy women, hut the men’s garb, such M s it Is. Is second-hand American. The other day n middle-aged mar rled couple stopped before a hardware stall In search of a screw driver. The woman, who looked Itulhin, wore a black woolen skirt, and a red shawl closely wrapped about her head. The man wore a Jaunty felt hat and dusty fur-collared overcoat, which looked as If tn days gone by It might have belonged to a popular matinee Idol. Have Ruddy Complexions. It Is noticeable that the complexion of the men and women who tend tinstalls Is exceptionally ruddy, a condition one would be apt to attribute to the outdoor air were It not for fhspector Davis nnd his statistics. For, according to him, neither fresh air nor complexion have anything to do with it. Even the pale dope victims who dwell along tht* Bowery, of whom there are hundreds between the ages of four teen and forty, have good health, he says. While dingy nnd In places apparently falling to pieces, the Bowery refleets the general prosperity of the nation. It is not quite so hungry and miserable ns It used to be, and hence not quite so desperate. Criminal joints have given way to employment offices; saloons to movie theaters, and dance halls to banks, so that the street seems to be headed for a future as healthy, respectable and thrifty, as at its birth In the days of the early Dutch settlers. Then It was a refuge for fugitives from the smallpox scourges that were constantly breaking out In New York; later It was a refuge for criminals, and now it is a sort of dustpan, receiving all tin* human sweepings from the surrounding metropolis. But through all those stages of decline, the Bowery has retained its uncanny original Inheritance of health, flouting all scientific assumptions thnt pestilence ami disease follow in the path of dirt.

"It was a Chinese joint that gave the first heed to our cumpnigc for sanitation." says Inspector Davis. “Gee, what a dump it was! But the proprietor took my advice, and In tt week’s time all the old beds, sheets and ilirty blankets were thrown out. and In their stead new hunks, new bedding nnd clean everything put in. The floors that were dirty now look white, and the spiderwebs (the Chinese proprietor called them ’whiskers’)

Corner on Insect Market. "At one lodging house the proprietor appears to have cornered the Insect market. He has been given orders to get rid of his surplus stock. His point was. ’If the men don’t kick, why should the health department?’ But. says I, ’these men go to all parts of the city, and we do not want them to take with them excess baggage.’ Not all of the citizens of the Bowery are very poor, according to Inspector Davis. Many are employed in factories. warehouses, shipyards, and a large number of the younger men In offices, where they make fairly good salaries. They stick to the Bowery because living there 1* cheap, and then, they say, they ar« afraid to move to other parts of the city which "$eem so unhealthy." Inspector Davis knows of hundreds of such men who are making at least $40 a week, living on $10, and putting $30 a week away in the bank.
