BOY STEALS BOX OF PILLS; WANTED THEM ANOTHER PREFERS TO SLEEP UNDER HOUSE Judge Wilbur Has a Busy Day with Juvenile Offenders, but Takes No Positive Action in Cases Judge Wilbur of the superior court was very busy yesterday, nearly all of hi 3 time being taken up with the examina tion of juvenile offenders. When Sam Caplan, charged with steal ing a box of pills, was called to the bench he was as long-faced as though he had been guilty of the most heinous offense. "Asked by the Judge what could have possibly induced him to steal the pills he was at a loss to say. He scratched his head for a minute or more, and finally said: "I don't know, Judge; I guess I Just wanted them." "Well, you look rather hungry, any way," said the court. "Step aside and let Edrina Hartley come to the front." In response to the call came a weazen faced lad who stood before the Judge shivering from head to foot. "What's the matter with you, Edrina? I understand you Insist on sleeping un derneath the house and are constantly at odds with your stepfather. Is that true?" No response. The question was again asked of the boy, until finally he simply said: "I Just feel like sleeping there, and he Is 80 mean to me." The stepfather was brought to the stand and asked concerning the lad, and it was learned that the youngster was guilty of the charge. No definite action was taken by the court with regard to either case, and it Is possible that a decision will be reached today. A number of other cases were begun, but finally continued until today.

Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem istry of the department of agriculture, and one of the foremost authorities on pure food In tho country, asserts that the average span of human life is Increasing, and this afternoon he explained to a cor respondent some of the reasons for his belief He based his opinion on facts within his own observation, and ascribed the increase of years partly to change In fashion and partly to the accomplishments of science. Among the chief factors in prolonging hu man life, In the opinion of Dr. Wiley, Is the comparatively recent improvement of social ethics, which has made It fashion able again for mothers to nurse their babies themselves, with the consequent decline in' vogue of the numerous "baby foods." There are several other reasons why tne human race is tending to a longer life, and Dr. Wiley thinks that they are havinqr such a potent Influence that the time will come when three score years and ten will be the usual and not the exceptional al lotment to men. Beginning with the im provement in the rearing of fsmall chil dren. Dr. Wiley said: Fewer Deaths of Infants "Vital statistics show that deaths among Infants 5 years old are not so nu merous as they were twenty-five years ago. A baby under 5 years now has about twice the chance of living that It had then. People have learned that artifi cial baby foods are not to be compared for the* nourishment of babies to natural foods. Mothers are now nurslrtg their own babies to a .greater extent than they did some years ago, and are abolishing artifi cial baby foods." The doctor added very seriously: "It has grown to be fashionable for mothers to nurse their own babies since the queen of Spain declared her Intention to nurse the heir. "Except mothers' milk, the only safe food for babies is pure, certified cow's milk, without any manipulation at all. If tho child Is 111, the milk should be modified upon a prescription of a physician so as to net the proper amount of fat and other nutritive elements. It should never bo modified otherwise, except upon a pre scription; and when I say physician, I mean a competent physician, not merely one who is called 'Doc. 1 "Experiments have shown that when in fants are artificially fed the use of pure, sweet, fresh milk from healthy cows alone eliminates that deadly disease known as summer complaint. Typhoid Fever Checked "Another factor In prolonging human life," continued Dr. Wiley, "is the check to tho ravages of typhoid fever. So suc cessfully has this dreadful scourge been checked that in Vienna the deaths from typhoid fever do not exceed one In 1000 annually. In fact, this disease is almost unknown in that city. Since It Is known that typhoid fever is principally propagat ed in water and milk, It Is certain that the proper control of these two great suppilea will rob typhoid fever of its principal terrors. "Another factor adding to the length of human life is the out-door treatment and segregation of consumptives. Scien tific investigation has established the fact that tuberculosis is an Infectious dlseas». If the tuberculosis germ can be prevented from entering the lungs, consumption will be destroyed. The segregation of con sumptives, taking the germs out of the street, and open air life of the segregated camp, will save many an invalid from death." Progress hi surgery, and especially in asepsis and anti-sepsis, Is another cause for the prolonging of life. Asepsis, th» doctor explained, is the treatment of fresh wounds before germs collect in them, and anti-sepsis la the treatment of wounds to destroy the germs after they have collected. Then he con tinued: Setter Surgical Operations "The deaths from inflamation and gan grene attending surgical operations are now almost unknown, And thus thousands of patients are saved. "Still another cause^ for the increasing length of human life is in the hygienic education manifested, not only in the fam ily, but in the common schols, the high schools and the universities." . AH these forces taken together, Dr. Wiley says, are saving and prolonging life. A better and more resistent type of human animal is growing up. All with tho final effect that the average length of human life Is Increasing. "What the final limit will be," Dr. Wiley added, thoughtfully, "is only a matter of speculation. "If we admit as a physiological fact that an animal should life four times as long as Its period of growth to maturity, the time may come in the far future when the average length of human life, instead of the exception, will be three-score and ten. When such a condition arrives cen turians will no longer be objetats of curi osity." TWO LITTLE BABIES SET APARTMENT HOUSE AFIRE Tots Play with Matches and Are Only Saved by Quick.Witted Labor. ers Who See the Smoke NEW YORK, Sept. 12.— Two babies were saved from death today by Tony January and Mike Reich, laborers, who having seen smoke and heard the cries of children, burst in the flimsy door of an apartment on the third floor of tho tenement at 37 James street. Mrs. Mary Cuchito, the mother of 1 the children, had left them alone while she went out to do her marketing. Tony, aged 2, and Chichi, aged 6, managed to get hold of some matches, and the fire resulted. The laborers were at work in the street when smoke began to pour from the windows. They also heard the frightened cries of the children. Without waiting to send In an alarm of fire the men rushed into the building, running up the long dark stairs, until they reached the door,. They found it locked, but they had no difficulty In breaking through the panels. They found that the children had set a mattress on fire. The flames were rapidly eating their way into the wood work of the room, and Reich picked up the babies, while January, assisted by others, put out the fire. The damage amounted to about $75. The babies were happy enough when their mother re turned. MOTHER BARS LONG PANTS; WANTS TO KEEP BOY LITTLE Lad's Schoolmates Send Petition to His Father, but It Fails Be. cause of Her Maternal Yearning NEW YORK, Sept. 12.— The petition which Bennie 1 Conn's schoolmates In the senior class of the Orange high school got up this week in an effort to per suade Max Cohn, the boy's father, to equip his son with lpng trousers proved futile, because of Mamma Cohn's desire to keep her boy a boy as long as pos sible. The petition was delivered this after noon by mall because that was thought the safest way. Mr. Cohn said that he was not responsible for the knickerbock ers Bennle wears, and that it was the mother who objected to the long trousefs. "Yes," said Mrs. Cohn, "I refused to let Bennie have long trousers. You see, my children are growing up fast enough, and, as Bennie Is the last of my boys, I want to keep him young as long as pos sible. Of course, It is natural that the boy wants to be like his friends, but you know that he will have to wear long trousers long enough, and It will not do him any harm to delight my eyes in ehort ones a little while longer." _ RESULTS OF TECHNOLOGY EXPEDITION VALUABLE By Associated Press.
