FAMOUS RACE PLAY “In Old Kentucky,’’ the famous race place that will bring memories to many of the oldtimers here, is to fee broadcast I from WLS on February 27, according to information received here. It will begin at nine o’clock in the evening, and will be staged by WLS Theatre’s own staff of players under the di rec- i tion of Harry Saddler.

It jfi expected that “In Old Kentucky” will one of the best productions ever attempted by the WLS Theatre. OUR LAKES H The Fanners State Bank rf< North Webster made the estimate that $250,000 has been spent about that lake in the few years. It is on the north hank of Webster Lake that the Epworth League of the Metho dist church has established a park and erected an auditorium and hotel. - The Milford Mail calls attention to the fact that at Tippe canoe lake more than a qunrtei of a million dollars have been spent leoently on improvements and nobody can estimate the income from the resorts because the lake is large and the interests diversified. “What is true of Tippecanoe is also true of Wawa=>ee.’’ continues the Mail. “The town of Syracuse exists very largely because of this great bedy of water. The summer 'are some of the , most luxurious to be found any where in Indiana, and in spitof the improvements the fishin" in the lakes remains excellent. “The people of Kosciusko county have a wonderful opportunity to make the lakes a much greater asset than they are at the present time, and the county will benefit when this fact is more fully understood. ~—o~ ——■.

RENT BABIES IN NEW YORK FOR BEGGING Babies may be bought, leased or rented in New York. The usual use for rented babies is begging. They are half starved for the purpose, the young ones in arms attracting attention by their howls. The older ones, led by the hand, attract sympathy because of their amaciated condition. And female Fagins use children for decoys. They train them carefully and then take them to department stores. Quite by accident the woman drops something on the floor. The child picks it up. If apprehended the innocent child wards off suspicion of intent to steal. Babies are also rented for blackmail purposes. They are left on doorsteps and pointed out to the intended victim. Baines in swaddling clothes also make excellent decoys for women bootleggers. These women stroll in the parks, pushing the baby buggy. The buggy also contains bottles of liquor. When the customer approaches the wcnrfan lifts the baby out, blanket and all. The blanket hides the transfer of the bottle of bootleg to the customer. Also babies are bought by mentally unbalanced scientists for experimental purposes. One such person practiced vivisection on a baby. Gypsies buy blond-headed babies for luck, for a “white baby” is considered a talisman of great luck to tribe. The prices of babies range from $5 to SSO, seldom more. Outside one great maternity hos-

pital where patients are discharged at dusk there is an established baby market where those who want babies stand and wait for mothers to come out with their human wares. The statements given above are furnished by Dr. Mary Hamilton. head of the woman’s bureau of the New York Police department. She says that she herself bought a baby at the baby market for $25.
