Farmers are becominjr better ac

POLICE AID ROBBERIES?
Company Says Palms of Officers
AVer Greased With Butter.
HARTFORD. Conn.. Sept. 25. A po
lice scandal probably will develop as a
result of the arrest at College Point,
1. J., of Henry Myers, a former em
ploye of Dillon It Douglas, of New
Haven. That firm's butter and egg
warehouse here has been robbed sys
tematically, and It is charged several
policemen have profited.
Myers Is in the Queens County Jail
on a charge of embezzlement. Arrested
here on the same day were Tony De
belle, driver of a bakery wagon; James
Couray, a bartender, and Edward Ross,
an automobile dealer. They are
charged with receiving stolen goods.
Ever since the robberies became pub
lic the police have been exceedingly
reticent, because It was known, mem
bers of the force were involved- Chief
Garret J. Farrell was loath to talk
until when he was informed of Myers'
arrest. He then told how that man
had been traced to College Point.
The police did not act until private
detectives had established a good case
and the scandal got into the news
pa pern. Dillon &. Douglas entered a
formal complaint. Innocent policemen
urged that something be done and the
identity of the guilty be made known.
They deeply resented the inactivity of
their superiors.
A meeting of the Police Commission
will be held. As a result it is fairly
certain that certain policemen -who
have been receiving "presents" of but
ter and eggs will be dismissed from
the department and arrested on the
charge of receiving stolen goods. The
total of the thefts amounts to thou
aands of dollars.
It 1 urged that It would have been
Impossible to rob the place night after
niaht and take the plunder away In
trucks without policemen being; aware
of it.
Fiheiicn Hook Up Mystery.
MH-FORD, N. J., Sept. 25. Fisher
men at this place found human hair
and flesh attached to their hooks when
they reeled in their lines. As a result
of the find the authorities were no
tified and dynamite was used in the
Delaware River where the men were
fishing and portions of clothing came
to the surface. Chief of Polle Frank
A. Brown was notified and Dr. Lava lie
was summoned. After an investigation
the doctor said he was satisfied the
flesh was that of a human being. The
hair was short and is believed to be
that of a man. Grappling irons were
too brought into use, but failed to
bring anything to the surface. The
authorities will continue their search.

OPPORTUNITIES for ntting- women
and girls for a life of usefulness
in the commercial world and in
the hovie are found in courses offered
at the Girls' polytechnic School, on
Fourteenth and Morrison streets. The
work for the "Winter started recently
under the leadership of Miss Anna E.
Arnold, formerly of Columbia Unlver-
Ity. There is a large enrollment in
all of the classes, which are divided
into trade classes and horoemakem'
courses.
The school is especially for girls who
are not planning upon enterlpc college
and two-year courses in uomestic
science, -millinery, industrial arts and
other useful lines of work, as well as
academic studies, are given. Girls who
are not adapted to the studies present
ed in the high schools find that the
courses given at the Girls' Polytechnic
School are - interesting and useful in
everyday life. For women who do not
care to enter the classes with the
younger girls special classes have been
provided.
Hvr to Make Hats Told. '
In the millinery course the girls are
taught the making of hats, from, the
cutting- and wiring of the shapes to the
last touches In completing the model.
As many of the wholesale houses In the
elty are not employing- apprentices,
the girls are given a chance tu secure
good positions in both wholesale and
retail stores after they have com
pleted a course of millinery in the
school.
In the cooking classes innumerable
quarts of fruit have been canned for
use in tbe school cafeteria and In in
dividual homes. As an example of
what the girls who bring their own
fruit do, one girl recently put up I
quarts of tomatoes, 12 quarts of
peaches and It quarts of pears. The
fruit is canned according to the best
methods and the girls are glad of tnr
opportunity to help supply the family
larder with edibles for the Winter. Tn
addition to the cooking1 classes there
are classes in . food chemistry and
dietetics.
There are classes In design and In
lacemaking. which are of use to the
girls who are sewing. From these
Ideas are derived which aid in adding
Individualistic touchesto the garments.
Mot-t of the girln make their own school
dresses and in the women's classes the
women make their own garments, as
well as garments for the whole family.
They are given detailed instructions
and as a consequence the finished gar
ments are always satisfactory. In the
shirtwaist classes,, tailored waists are
completed first and then lingerie and
gerfrgetto crepe models. .
"WeaTtna? Art Tugtat.
Tn the lacemaking- classes the mem
bers are instructed in the art of weav
ing the very finest of fllet and Venetian
laces. Instructions are also given, in
crocheting;.
One of the most Interesting courses
offered la the industrial course. Here
one may make everything, from all
sorts of Jewelry to raffia baskets, which
are fashioned in odd shapes and
stained. Book ends of either brass or
wood .may be roade-c The designs used
by the girls are unusual and the arti
cles are welt made.
The members of all of the classes are
glad to take ordera from people for
sewing-. Jewelry, millinery, canned
fruit or lit fact any of the things made
at the school
Beginning- with, tomorrow evening;
clauses will - be held on Monday,

OF SAVING UNFORTUNATE MOTHERS AND BABIES
Nearly 100 Now Being Cared For at Louise Home and Albertina Kerr Nursery and Funds for Maintenance of
Institution and Continuance of Its Rescue Work Are Necessary.
SATURDAY, October 6, will be Tag
day for the benefit of the Louise
Home, where unmarried mothers
are sheltered and taught how best tp
assume the responsibilities of parent
hood, and the Albertina Kerr Nursery,
where their babies are cared for until
their mothers can take them Into' their
homes, or until they can be adopted,
The City Council has granted.; per
mission for this publio appeal for the
conservation of human life, and -the
Mayor of the city and the Governor of
the state have indorsed the character
of these Institutions for the saving of
infant lives and the restoration of -unfortunate
mothers to lives of useful
ness. - There are at present 93 of these
mothers and babies in the two insti
tutions, which are branches of the Pa
cific Coast Rescue and Protective So
ciety. It requires 15 workers, includ
ing the day and night nurses, for the
babies, to take care of this huge, fam
ily. Some of the ablest physieians in
the city contribute their services in
emergency cases at the institutions..
It is one-of the striking things about
this work of conserving the lives of
habies who have "no name," an Wllkle
Collins described it, that there are
many families ready to adopt - the
babies. N
Slather's Leve Important.
However-, these mothers love" their
babies, and, what is more important
from the public point of view, the
mother's love for her child furnishes
the strongest incentive to keep her In
the ranks of good motherhood and save
her from the slums.
. The work of the Pacific Coast League
is to furnish the ignorant and often
Innocent mother (there was a mother
15 years old at the Louise Home this
year), a refuge.' a lying-in' hospital, a
nursery for the babe and a school for
the mother, together with such instruc
tion In cooking and sewing as will
make her a housewife, so far as her
capacities permit
Re long as thousands ef bora and
girls grow up without proper Instruc
tion in matters of sex, so long the
truUron of the homo will, listen to
stories of ' ignorance of adolescents
and neglect on the part of parents,
which result in happenings which
would be promptly declared absurd and
impossible if it were not for material
evidence.
This is the work of the society from
the moral and economic side to save
human beings. , There is a financial
side also, which includes ' feeding,
clothing, nursing and sheltering a fam
ily of 100 people or more, and next
Saturday the public will have an op
portunity ' to contribute and become
partners in conserving the "lives of the
babies. - With the present 'prices of
food, fuel and clothing, this is impor
tant. -
; Visitors Interested in this work are
welcome 'and can make arrangements
tp see the' Louise Home and tbe nurs
ery by telephoning Broadway 1665 or
A 726. ...
' The Louise Home has good And sub
stantial .buildings and1 nine .acres of
land, -which can be. reached by going
out the Base Ltne road to Barker road,
and thence north a short distance. Ad
ditional land was rented this year and
the girls cultivated a 12acre garden.
At .Tag day.- headquarters on Kifth
street, just north of the Perkins Ho
tel, there will be next Saturday a dis
play., of needlework and canned ' fruit
and vegetables, which have been pre-pared-as
part of the work of the girls
under ' the direction .of Miss Beatrice
Prosser. the matron of the home. There
is a debt of (9000 on (his home.
' T4ie nursery is on Fourteenth street,
just south of 'Washington; and Miss
Lenora Bennett, the matron, will wel
come visitors who want to see nearly
50 babies in one house.
Tlie proceeds of Tag day will go to
continue this work of saving mothers
and habies. The babies are innocent,
and the mothers, in the great majority
of cases, are ignorant of the responsi
bilities of their sex, due to their youth
and' lack of proper training.
