It is. of course, re onized that i.o institution is a r 1 ti'unc fr (hihlren. No matter how huml'lo a home may he, if it ten.

Not all children carol for hy the hoard at the home e.Tn placed in other homes. Some of these children are with us under court orders that they he not sent from the institution.

Their parents are separated for the time hriru; and it is the hope of the judges that reconciliation will he po-sihle and that these children will he restored to thir proper homes an.l the care of their own parents. There are other children who unfortunately .are physically defective; it is impovsihlo to place such children in private homes. For various reasons It therefore hcoomes necessary h provide a homo for certain children for i numher "f years. Child Started Klulit. When a child is hrouKht to the home the first thini; done is to pet him into normal physical condition as the hot means of laying a sound foundation for healthy childhood and later happy, useful citizenship. I'nder the ery l-e.-t conditions he society can afford, there henins a constant, unceasing effort to implant in the plasfi- mind ideals of health, morality and amhition. The hoard must in many cases provide the training which other children ordinarily icet in their own homes. of special importance this year was the estahlishini; of dental inspection. The home now has its own dental olhce with Dr. Claud Ieyer in attendance. The aid of stich work to the general health of the children is in valuaMe. Not only were decayed teeth tilled or removed hut every ehi'd, except the nur.-ery habies. had his teeth cleaned ami was taught the dally use of the tooth I. rush. Heal appreciation of what this means requites first hand knowledge of the extent of dental decay these children showed. Ponta! inspection of school children generally shows Id per cent of them suffer from dental decay. The care of children's teeth is imperative and the hoard feels that in the establishment of the dental office- at the home the hclth of the children will he letter c served than ever hefore. There were many who assisted in the establishment of this office and the hoard very gratefully acknowledges the active interest and help in this work. The Wyman Memorial hospital with its modern equipment forms an important Jart of the means of carina for the physical welfare of the children. Kpidemics of measles, whooping cnurh and kindred ills of f hildhood are short -1 i cd . Operation for adenoids, diseased tonsils and for appendicitis were a part of the surgical work for the year.

Practical Economy Baking powders made from alum or phosphate may be bought for a trifle less than Royal Baking Powder, which is made from cream of tartar, derived from grapes. Alum powders are not only cheap, but they difler greatly in leavening power. If a cheap baking powder is used for a fine cake and the cake turns out a failure there is a waste of costly materials worth more than a whole can of the cheap baking powder. Royal Baking Powder produces the finest food, and its use therefore, results in an actual saving. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York

The most crying need of the institution at present is a new chool building, with modern equipment and proper lighting and ventilation. When such a building can be erected it will contain domestic science kitchens where the üirls may be taught cookery. At present they help in the laundry, in the din ing room and with the sweeping and dusting. The older hoys, in addition to manual training, help with the farm and garden work, gaining valuable experience in the truck, stock and dairy farming.

PROPER HOUSING

Should be Part of City Planning, Says J.,E. Lathrop, New York Expert. j Terminal facilities. street ton- j ' fctruction, proper housing, artistic : 1 i i subdivisions, these immediately unj dertaKea and kept in prospect, ; I Lacked by intelligence and moral ; I courage on the part of public oll'x - j j iala aad people, are the desirable j ; requisites of an effective city plan- ' j ring campaign, as outlined by John J j K. Iathrop, New York, in charge of ' the city planning department of the I American Civic bureau, in an ad-I ; dress at the Chamber of Commerce 'last night. Mr. Iathrop came to1 Suth IJenJ in .connection with the j campaign of city planning institut ed by the Indiana Ileal Kstate asso HIT A 11 UAOl lit. liV (II A4k(liV UO.r- V .. ami an interested audience d keenly to his discussion of, elation listtne the jrohlems lffecting municipal futures. In response to inquiries from A. It. Crskine, president of the Studehaker corporation, Mayor Fred W. Keller and A. II. Jtice of the city hoard of public works, some local conditions were touched upon, the question of expense, the altruism of the purpose, and methods of handling it, helng taken particularly into account. Mr. Lathrop appears a strong advocate of Kood housing, pointing to the need of a proper housing law or building code in cities, applicable to residence as well as business districts, and to single houses as well aj tenements. Dicu.v-s IIoulii I'roblom. "Citizens of a municipality are as one big family," he said, "and should teach each other as such. We have a moral and legal right to require that our neighbors live decently, in properly ventilated rooms, with cheerful surroundings as possible, and at least within the ordinary requirements of sanitation and health." He declared distinctly against alley and court residences, as tending eventually to develop into slum districts, and being conducive of immorality. Scientific housing was pointed to as a thing which a proper city planning scheme must take into consideration. Cities should he planned according to scientific methods just as organizations conduct their business, planning- every step years ahead of the time it Is taken, was pointed out by the speaker, who said "You have here in -uuth P.end industries w hich have earned just praise for far-seeing vision. In South America, two years ago, I saw agricultural implements made here, in use on the estates of that country, and regarded as the hest the earth afforded. And those South Americans have tried out the implement manufactures of the whole world. j All In Same lrinclplc. ' "These world-famed industries have operated on the principle of planning far ahead. They have kept an eye on contiguous lands for factory extensions; on materials forthese new structures; on every modern process of building and operating. They have planned long into the future. "This planning intelligently and scientifically has enabled the South I Send industries to reach far afield. and meet competition by other institutions which were doing likewise. "We are trying to bring into

American city life this same idea, In!jie the past, we Americans have not'

been so forehanded as we should have been ii respect of city development. A city administration has been able to look only a short span into the future; for the people as a mass were restive if their officials sought to apply to urtian development those sound principles now recognized as vital to industrial success. The result is that we have not constructed cities which in their physical form could permit the carrying on of cit activities in an economic manner. "At n rviml vi n rn lnrnin" thia lesson of citv construction; that we! must build the cities more according to the principles of a va.st mechanism, with inter-related parts, ter minals adequate and co-ordinated to, the remainder of the structure; with' street systems properly related to all of these thincs; and also with provision for community play and culture in the form of playgrounds and parks." WihWc Mut Hack Hi)'. Mr. Iithro; told of the bill which is bvirik' drafted for presentation to the legislature this winter, proviidir.ir for a city planning commission to he appointed hy the government of each city, and which will undoubtedly be passed as seven other states have siimilar laws on their statute books.

"It is a moement which aims to make the cities better places In which to lie, work and play; more wonomic, artistic and sanitary; and to plan far into the future, to effect those economies we all realize must come into our city life. "it is nut a movement for c.xtruv-

agance; for expenditures for va and fanciful conceptions; for draw

irm prettv pictures of what miuht have been; and then asking the tax payers to hand over enormous sums to realize those dreams. It is a program of economy; of getting more for what we are spending; of applying plain, common sense to city building processes. "The movement for city planning is. perhaps, the most hopeful sign of the coming of a newer day a j day in which our cities shall be bet- j ter places in which to rear children; and the interest of the future child 'must be paramount with all thought ful men and women." Mr. Lathrop's visit at this time is to arrange if possible to put on a city planning exhibition which has been shown throughout the United states and which has been heartily endorsed wherever it has appeared. S HE STOLE FUNDS Tjfjket Agent Of Lake Shore uives up wnen uonironiea by Sweetheart. That he might escape disgrace in the eyes of his liancee, Archie Trost, night ticket agent at the Lake Shore depot, faked a story of a rob1 ery and made away with $ 7 0 in cash and $:i00 in checks, according to the confession which Trost made to railroad ottieials last Sunday morning at locaJ police headquarters. The girl had given Trost $200 to keep for her and he spent the money. Then he devised the robbery plan to recover tne amount and throw the police off the trail. Not until he was confronted by the girl, whom he is soon to marry and who was brought here from Walkerton, her home, hy railroad ctticials. would Trost say anything about the robbery. When the girl came Trost told the officials that he had given her $000. The girl denied receiving the money and then Trost confessed. Later the girl turned over the $500 to the company. Iiy destroying the checks and also two J50 hills which were in the sack which Trost said he started to carry to the express ottice. the young man was able to fool the police for four weeks. He has been under surveilance hy the railroad detectives all this time, however. To save Trost from trouble the girl's father made up the halar.ee of the money and tendered it to the railroad otficials. Kager to receive their funds and out of sympathy for the girl and youth's mother, who vj a cripple, the company agreed to drop the case against Trost. Friday night Trot was arrested on a charge of petit larceny, the accusation being that he short changed a ticket buyer and did not turn the money over to the company. He was held In Jail until Sunday morning where the local and ailroad police began quizzing him. At the time of the robbery the case looked suspicious to the railload detectives. Although Trost said that he had been dealt a terrific blow on the left side of the head, there was no mark on his head and in answering questions asked hint he ucted peculiar. Trost had no accomplice's or "friends", who were In with him on tne nam, accorumg to me story told the railroad men.

: AD-SELL ENJOYS

MIED PR E Entertainment and Instruction at Banquet Among Best of Season. A program of entertainment and instruction such as has never been surpassed in the history of successful Ad-Sell league banquets in South IJend was enjoyed by the largest crowd that has attended an Ad-Sell dinner t Iiis year, at the lier Tuesday night. The entertainment was furnished by the tllee club of the University of Notre Dame. The instruction was furnished hy the three speakers of the evening. II. N. Tolles, vice president of the Sheldon school of Chicago; 1 1. J. Kenner, secretary o the vigilance committee of the Associated Advertising clubs, and V. N. Heath. secretary of thi Itepuhic Merchants association of Chicago, the instruction was as good as the music. Mr. Tolles, one of the livest ol the many live wires, who have addressed the Ad-Sell league in the last two rears, spoke on "KeepingStep with the Times." He pointed out the qualities that go to make for success in the modern business world and emphasized particulaily the alertness that will be necessary on the part of the business meo and organizations of the country in the great commercial crisis that will follow the present war. Mr. Kenner told of the work being done by the associated advertising clubs, particularly by the National Vigilance committee and Mr. Heath gave a brief talk on co-operation as exemplified by the successful organization of the several hundred merchants in the llepubic building in Chicago. Tlirev (iroat Truths. "We have had pointed out three great truths by the three wars of which we have had experience since becoming a nation," declared Mr. Tolles in his talk, "the Revolution taucht us the important lesson of independent, the Civil war the treat lesson of inter-dependenee. and the present war should teach us the greatest lesson of all. preparedness." The speaker then went on to enumerate the qualities necessary for success in business at the pres ent time, the things that we must learn to be prepared for the great commercial struggle of the nations which will follow the great worldwar. These qualities, the speaker aid were the ability to co-operate with others, the power of leadership, the power to win the confidence of others, and a knowledge of the science of business. He emphasized throughout the talk, the importance of the personal element in business and illustrated his points by instances and graphic black board diagrams. Now Spirit Coming. Mr. Kenner said that a new spirit was coming into the business world in general and the advertising world in particular. He said the motto of business was no lomrer "Ix-t the Buyer P.eware", but "Iet the Seller P.eware." He declared that most of the great prohlerns of production had been solved but that the greater problems of distribution particularly of selling were only beginning to be tackled and he declared that it was through wide, honest and efMcientlv planned advertising, that these problems were to be solved, j Most of the address was devoted to telling of the work being done by the associated advertising clubs of the world of which the Ad-Sell league Is a member. Among the other things that have been done by the Associated Advertising clubs, was to bring closer co-operation between sellers of space and advertisers through bringing them together, to advertise advertising in a $1,000.m)0 campaign, to appoint a research committee to collect facts of value to advertisers and sellers, and to create the National Vigilance committee, the purpose of whioh is to clean-up advertising, make it "more honest, and prosecute fake advertisers. Plan Menilorlil Campaign. The banquet marked the beginning of a membership campaign which is expected to greatly increase the size of the organization.' Plans for mid-month round table discussions were announced. The mid-monthly meetings will he started the first of the year. V. K Limport presided at the I meeting nnd Ir. .Tames L.
