DETROIT OBSERVES
ITS 211 BIRTHDAY JOpening of Celebration Took Place Today City Has Had Great Growth. (National News Association) . DETROIT, Mich., July 22. The Cadillaqua festival, in celebration of the 211th anniversary of the founding of Detroit by Antoine de la Motte Cadillac, the French soldier of fortune, was ushered in today with the city gorgeously decorated and filled with visitors as never before in her history. All that the rounding out of two "centuries of progress and development, of building and expansion, of growth in population and business, of goals gained and ambitions realized, of work performed and projects com pleted, of ideals attained and problems solved, of things done means to a city is what Detroit wilj celebrate during the week beginning today. It was on July 24, 1701, that Cadillac arrived at the site of the future metropolis with fifty soldiers and fifty ! Canadian traders and artisans, and established Fort Pontchartrain on the jbanks of the river. Two days later he laid the foundation stone for St. Ann's church. In this church, some two years later, Detroit's first white child, a daughter of Cadillac, was baptized. The French called the new settlejment "La Ville d'Etroit." The population of the village was increased in 1749 by the arrival of half a hundred immigrants, who came in response to ia proclamation of the governor-gener-ial of Canada offering a subsidy to new j settlers. Later there were more arriIvals, incuding large parties of exiled i Acadians. Growth of the City. The population of Detroit reached 500 in 1796. and 770 in 1810. In 1840 it was 9,192. in 1850, 21,019, in 1870, 79,577, in 1890, 205,876 and in 1900 285,704. The latest census taken in 1910, gave Detroit a population of 465,766, an increase of 63 per cent, in ten ! years. In 1774 the first civil government I was provided by the British for De troit and the surrounding territory. In 1796 the town came into the possession of the United States and was occupied by American troops. The town was incorporated in 1802 and three years later It became the seat of the territorial government of Michigan. The first paper printed in Detroit appeared in 1809. On August -6, 1812, General Hull surrendered Detroit to the British and they retained possession for a little more than a year. In 1818 the first steamboat arrived here from Buffalo. In 1842 Detroit was I chartered as a city and John R. Wil- ! Hams was elected as first mayor. During the gala week there will be jdaily pageants on land, on the water, land in the air. There will be athletic events and amusements of every des cription. Notables from many cities of the United States and Canada have accepted invitations to be guests of the city of Detroit. One of Big Events. 1 One of the big features of the week's program will be a great historical pageant depicting the voyage of Cadil lac and his landing in Detroit. More than 4,000 persons garbed in the dress of the period will first be seen resting in their camp along the St. Clair River. As Cadillac completes his voyage he will met by a fleet of vessels. The fleet will be made up of several United States revenue cutters, six ves sels of the naval reserve and many iprivate yachts. On setting foot in Detroit the French ;explorer will be met by United States regulars from the United States revenue cutters and 'the naval reserves, who will escort him to grand Circus Park. He will be met at the park by a band of Indians, the chief of which will present him with a pipe of peace. He will then be formally received by Governor Osborn of Michigan and the (official representatives of Detroit. One night of the week is to be given over to a mammoth industrial parade, with floats representing the progress of the various manufacturing and mercantile interests of the city. Then there will be an automobile parade In which 8,000 motor cars will take part, the object being to call attention to the fact that considerably more than half the automobiles made in America are built in Detroit. In the hope of making their city the future water-sports center of America the committees have arranged an elaborate program of aquatic sports. Yacht races, power boat races, canoe races, swimming contests and hydroplane competitions will fill In the week. DON'T BE MISLED Richmond Citizens Should Read and Heed This Advice.

Four venturesome sea-loving men have set out in the thirty-five foot motor boat Detroit on the most important lap of their ; water journey from Detroit to St. Petersburg, Russia, and they believe that it will not take them more than forty-one days to make this part of their trip, from College Point, L. I., to the Russian Capital. The Detroit made the trip from her -namesake city here by way of the Great Lakes and the Erie Canal. The small craft is manned by a crew of four, Charles E. Earle, a Harvard graduate, who is making the trip for his health; Captain Thomas Fleming Day, a noted yachtsman, who will command the vessel, and William Newstead and Walter Morton, professional motor boat engine men. The crew intends to work in shifts of two. Two men sleeping while the other two are running the boat. Captain -Day has made a number of trips across the Atlantic in small boats, but never before in so small a craft as the Detroit.
Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR At The Murray. Lewis-Oliver Stock company, indefinite. Murray Theater, Tonight the Lewis & Oliver Players who are now starting on their eight successful week, will present the romantic comedy drama, "My Boy Jack." The plot deals with the love of a musician and poet for the same girl who happens to be an opera singer. The play is along the lines of "The Climax." The last act shows the, dressing room of the stage setting. This play abounds with comedy situations, intermingled with tears. Mr. Jack Lewis will enact the role of the poet, whilst Mr. Simmons will be seen as the musician. Miss Mabel Frost will enact the part o fthe opera singer. TAKING A CAMERA ABROAD. A Source of Pleasurs That May Win Fins and Imprisonment. If the American tourist carries his camera to Europe with him he must be careful to avoid photographing persons, private property and particularly government buildings, forts, docks and ships without permission. Many tourists have got themselves into much trouble In this way, especially lu Russia, where the restrictions are unusually rigid, and In Germany also. A few years ago Germany passed a special bill through the reichstag dealing with this matter and imposing heavy penalties upon those who infringe the regulations. Damages to the amount of $1,500, with a fine of $250 or two months' imprisonment, will be the fate of any oue who snapshots a private person, a work of art or the interior of a private building and circulates or publishes the picture, without permission. Persons in the public eye. such as members of the royal family, statesmen, actors and well known divines are excepted, says a writer in Country Life In America. So. too, are public buildings and works of art In public galleries. In Italy the camera of the tourist is made a means of providing revenue for that somewhat impoverished country. If you carry your camera when on a visit to Pompeii or others of the recently excavated ruins you may take as many photographs as you please, but you are forced to pay a small fee for each plate exposed.

OLD TERROR CONFRONTS GOTHAM MOTHERS
Mothers with Infants Facing the Torrid Wave in Frantic Fear Scores of Babies Are Dying. BY STANFORD McFARLAND. NEW YORK, July 22. The moth er's of New York's East Side are again in the clutch of the old terror; the excessive heat wave. Mothers with ln'fants and babies facing their desper ate second summer are living in frantic fear. They realize full well that before the heat abates hundreds of little lives will be snuffed out and the question is constantly before them, "whose child will it be?" Despite the great and energetic efforts of organized societies and personal philanthropists looking to the relief of the East Side children there is no human power that can prevent hundreds of them from succumbing to this hot breath of summer, which annually garners its harvest of young and old. With the mercury doggedly hangnig around 100 degrees and no assurance of immediate relief the East Side does indeed present a pitiful spectacle. While thousands of children and their mothers have been taken to the. seaside, there seems to be no diminution in the throngs that people the inadequate parks and breathing space of the East Side, of mothers that sit at open windows frantically fanning their naked young and of the old who walk restlessly about, pathetically seeking shady places that often are already usurped by the younger and stronger. But New York has never failed to respond magnificently to the appeal coming from her suffering East Side. Every year the city puts forth increased efforts to alleviate the sorrows of that teeming section, and while it is inevitable that many babies will die this summer that might have been saved, it is equally true that thousands will be saved that might have died but for the succoring care afforded by tile city, by charitable organizations and private individuals. This work has become so well systematized and has grown to such vast proportions that it is not stating more than the truth to say that every sick baby on the East Side can receive medical attention without cost and that before the summer is over every needy child can have a trip to the seashore. If there is one thing on which the great city of New York is united; that binds the metropolis together as by a golden thread, it is the love of babies. In New York, the baby is king, or queen, as the case may be. To save the lives of its babies is New York's greatest municipal enterprise an en terprise amounting almost to a civic passion. And since most of its babies are on the East Side and conditions there make their chances of life more precarious than elsewhere it is therefore on the East Side that New York concentrates most of its work of con servation of the young. If one has lost his great respect for the great metropolis through believing that it Ib too commercially har dened to interest itself in the needs of the poor and humble let him take a walk through the East Side on any of these hot mid-summer days. There he will find at various points health stations with East Side mothers flock ing to them as to a harbor of refuge, with sick, crying infants, seeking aid and comfort from the skilled female physicians whom the city has placed there. And from each one of these sta tions go out a corps of nurses, under the doctors' directions, visiting homes, if those seething tenements can be called homes, where there are sick babies. Like soldiers actuated by the purest patriotic motives these devoted women are at their posts day after CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

day with their ears scientifically attuned to catch the faintest cry of help emanating from a babe. The chief boon the city offers to" the East Side during the summer months, aside from the health stations, is the free municipal baths. These baths are scattered throughout the district Each one is supplied with a staff of attendants. The baths are
carefully inspected and kept in a sani tary condition. The Borough of Manhattan also has free baths off Battery Park, where the j older children of the East Side dis-i port themselves In a manner that only can be achieved by an East Side youngster. If any summer visitor to New York wishes to get an idea of how much happiness the city affords its poor children let him make a visit to any of these baths. If he isn't amply repaid for his pains there is something the matter with his mind and heart. So it is not only the health but the happinesB also of the East Side chil dren that the city aims at. While New York may be regarded as hard and heartless in many respects, there Is no denying that the city likes to see its children happy; the children of the poor as well as the rich, and in this effort to afford health and amusement to its children the city is truly democratic. Thus far mention has only been made of what the city itself has done and is doing to make life tolerable for unfortunate - people of the East Side. The noble work of Jhe municipality is flanked on all sides by charitable organizations that are constanlty employed in this ameliorating work. Such Institutions as the Society for the Improvement of the. Condition of the Poor. This organisation, over sixty years old, takes thousands of children to the sea shore every summer. It has recently completed a hospital at Rockaway for crippled children and it maintains a resort at Sea Breeze where the mothers and their babieB go in an unbroken stream throughout the summer. Then there are almost numberless minor organizations, one for almost every district on the East Side, that provides a vacation at the beach for as many mothers and babies as their funds will allow. These, with individual philanthro pists such as Miss Helen Gould, all working constantly with one purpose. justify the statement made earlier in this article, that before the summer is over the probabilities are that every child on the East Side will have had a season of play on the joyous, breeze-sweDt sands. In this heroic battle for the lives of the East Side babies, the city is balfled by numbers. There are so many of these little ones.

transported in a body, or at least, moved simultaneously, to various seaside places the ideal way would have been achieved in the work of saving the babies. But. alas, there are too many of them. Because of conditions that cannot be overcome, for a long time at least, the little ones are obliged to take their turn, mo while the fortunate ones are revelling In the sands at Sea Breeze, or Coney Island, or Freeport. those that are left In the city awaiting their turn are piteously panting for life. "Ice, ice." has been the frantic cry of the East Side 'mothers during every super-heated period of the summer months. Ice is indispensable to them. The babies milk must be kept cold in the hot weather. The infant's life depends upon it. Although the city Is unable to provide the necessary ice. there are a number ofphilanthropic individuals who have made it their
self-imposed task to see that no East Side baby dies because it's milk could not be kept cold. If they can help it. Therefore, thousands of pounds of ice Is distributed throughout the East Side every day, free of charge. This alone has been the means of saving hundreds of little lives. Through constant effort, such as has been described, the death rate among the infants on the East Side has been materially reduced. The decrease, ev en from the last year, is very marked. And the city, with its volunteer assistants, is going to continue in this noble work of saving the babies until it will be as safe to be born on Rivington street as on Fifth Avenue. Reassuring.
