MOTHER FOUND; CINDERELLA TO GET REAL HOME Girl, 18 Years in Institution, at Last to Know Joy of Life. Sept. B.—For all of the 18 years of her life, Josephine Noble Gardner, fully normal in mind and body, has lived in the State home for backward children here. Surrounded by pitiful youngsters with stunted brains and twisted bodies, knowing that she was not as they were and yearning hopelessly for a home and a mother, Josephine grew up to young womanhood like a modem Cinderella, condemned to a drab, chimney-corner existence. But now—after 18 years—she is going home. The mother of whom she had dreamed for so long is coming to Claim her. Rich gowns, fur coats and silk stockings are going to replace the plain frocks of the State home. All that she has missed is going to be hers, for the rest of her life. Mother Speeds East N On a transcontinental train speeding east from Los Angeles is the mother—Mrs. Winifred HerEog, who has just learned that the daughter she had mourned as dead for eighteen years is alive and well, waiting to rejoin her. That is the outline of one of the most amazing stories ever unearthed in the history of Illinois’ charitable institutions. Eighteen years ago Mrs, Herzog *vas Winifred Noble, a young girl living in McLean, 111. There she was married—a youthpossibly ill-advised romance that met with much opposition from her father. And so when Winifred gave birth to a little girl her father vowed the child would never be reared in his home. Child Taken Away Winifred’s father had the child taken away and put in the care of a family living in Williamson County. Shortly after this was done he—Winifred’s father—died, and the mother’s only chance at tracing her baby was lost. Little Josephine spent her early childhood as a ward of the Williamson county family. Then she was sent here to become a ward of the Lincoln State School and Colony. Although this is a home for children mentally or physically deficient, some horrible mistake placed Josephine, a fully normal 'Child, in it—and here she stayed. She was given a grade school education, taught household science and given such advantages as are possible in an institution. Social Worker Gets Clew A social worker at the school, Mrs. Sara Crosby, was interested in her. She noticed her name— Josephine Noble Gardner. Mrs. Crosby had lived in the Noble home town, Mcl*ean, and remembered vaguely that the Noble girl’s daughter had been sent away. She enlisted the aid of Mrs. Jean

Bit by bit they picked up the thread of the story. Then came the task of finding the mother. After losing her little girl, Winifred had gone to the Pacific coast. Her first marriage dissolved, a few years ago she married Theodore Herzog, manager of a Los Angeles ballroom. Mother Is Found Winifred Herzog was happy—except that she still longed for the daughter she had never seen. And then, a short time ago, the Illinois investigators found her and told her that her daughter was living in Lincoln—living in a State institution, suffering for lack of the home that Mrs. Herzog was yearning to give her. So now Mrs. Herzog is coming to Lincoln as fast as the train can carry her. Ahead of her have come letters, telegrams, checks, boxes of clothes and other presents.

POSTAL DEFICIT IS MYTH, SAYS CONGRESSMAN Department Would Show Big Profit Under Proper System, Kelley View. “With a proper bookkeeping system, charging up to the proper departments the cost of present free service, the postoffice department would show a large profit instead of a mythical deficit,” Congressman M. Clyde Kelley of Pennsylvania declared in his address at the banquet of National Federation of Postoffice Clerks and National Federation of Ruraj Letter Carriers Wednesday night at the Claypool Hotel. “Service, not profit, is and should continue to be the keynote of the postal system.” he added. The banquet was in honor of Kelley, member of the House postoffice committee and ardent supporter of postal employes. Cost Many Millions Kelley explained.that various free services cost the postoffice department more than $100,000,000 last year, in comparison with the reported deficit of $39,000,000. Rural free delivery cost $70,000,000 more than revenues produced last year, franking and penalty service cost $14,000,000, free-in-county privileges to small weekly newspapers costs $10,000,000, and low rates given religious, fraternal and scientific publications cost another $17,000,000, he said. These are all worthy services and the rural free delivery service, especially. should be expanded, but the expense charged up to the National Government and not, to the postoffice department deficit, he added. The speaker declared the mythical deficit had caused many bills affecting welfare of postal workers to be killed in committee, because of the idea the department should be selfsustaining. Favors Six-Hour Day Postal law changes which Kelley said he favored include a six-hour day for night workers, universal Saturday half holiday, establishment of a trial board where “no one man sits as judge, jury and executioner,” and a real retirement bln, meaning at least a $1,200 annuity for postal workers. Postmaster Robert H. Bryson served as toastmaster at the banquet. Other speakers included Leo George of Washington, president of
