It is tedious, but careful burping is worth every bit of time and trouble it takes. It is insurance for good sleep and a good disposition. The presence of air in a baby’s stomach may cause him vague uneasiness, keep him ' fretful, sleepless, and wrack his mother’s nerves. Worse, it may even cause acute colicky pain.

Feeding a stranded traveler. Arranging train fare for a‘ soldier’s wife. : Reuniting a soldier boy with his dog. Locating a runaway girl. Rescuing a bewildered old gentleman separated from his son. Providing shelter for some wayfarer for the night. ‘It’s all in a day's work for the Travelers Aid society. For years the agency has been giving assist-

So far this year, its workers have handled 12,566 cases. ' That's seven times the amount handled during Some of them are due to the restrictions on private conveyances, an upswing in

The same goes for other travelers. : The work of the agency is primarily preventive: Keeping stranded travelers from becoming community problems. It is supported by the community fund-—one of the things to which Indianapolis residents are contributing when they make a pledge to the United War Fund drive now in progress. The work is rich in human interest. Mrs. Cecile Shields, a case worker, tells the story of a boy and his dog. A woman came into the station, en route to see her sick

own “pin money” keeping it fed on hamburgers. But still no word came, Mrs. Shields took quite a fancy to the little dog, called it “Puppsy” for lack of a better name, and took it home.

Another Happy Ending

Finally the private did wire and he and Mrs. Shields exchanged a few letters. Mrs. Shields indicated she had become so attached to “Puppsy” that she was quite willing to keep her indefinitely. She didn’t get an answer to that one. Finally, she had a crate built and took the little dog down to ship him off—at 1 a. m. in the morning, just so he wouldn't have to spend long hours in the crate. Later she got a wire from an officer at camp: “Mital arrived. Having the time of her life.”

of the agency is in handling cases arising from late trains. Many are the mothers or wives who budget money for trips down to the very last penny. The train is late and they miss connections. The Travelers Ald steps in to provide necessary shelter or meals.
