DELAWARE BRIDGE PLAN
GETS CAMDEN SUPPORT
Philadelphians to Discuss Plan to
Span River Tonight.
The first step of Camden County to
assume a share of the expense of tho
proposed Penn memorial bridge across
tho Delaware was taken today, with the
appropriation of JEOOO by the Camden
County Board of Freeholders. The money
will go for preliminary expenses In plan
ning the bridge. The freeholders adopted
a resolution calling on Governor Fielder
to appoint a commission to administer
the fund.
The action of the Camden freeholders
comes almost simultaneously with the
formulation of a plan to put new impetus
behind the Pennsylvania movement for
a Delaware River bridge by tho United
Business Men's Association nnd other
Philadelphia organizations. They will
have representatives tonight at a meet
ing In the Hotel Walton.
Members of the organizations will be
urged to appeal to their representatives
In tho Legislature for a hearing on the
bill providing for a Penn Memorial
Bridge Commission. Members of the
Camden County Board of Freeholders and
the Camden Board of Trade also will at
tend the meeting.
Practical problems of bridging the Del
aware will be discussed by James M.
Hodge, of Boiler, Hodge & Balrd, New
York, consulting engineers for the New
Jersey Bridge and Tunnel Commission,
which Is planning a means of crossing
the Hudson from New Jersey Into New
York city, Mr. Hodge will come to Phil
adelphia for this meeting with James
Noyes, president of the New Jersey com
mission, and James A. C, Johnson, for
mer New Jersey State Senator and for
mer president of the New Jersey Senate.
The Walnut Street and Market Street
Business Men's Associations, the hotel
men's and other organizations have been
asked to attend the meeting-.
Noyes and Hodge, who have been work
ing: on plans for a tunnel or bridge under
or across the Hudson for the last five
years, will discuss the possibilities of a
bridge tq Camden, and compare the dif
ficulties with those encountered In plan
ning; the Hudson River crossing.
The object of the meeting tonight will
be to arouse sentiment for a hearing on
the bill Introduced early In the present
session by Representative Patrick Con
nor, of Philadelphia, providing $15,000
for a, commission to view plans and begin
preliminary surveys for a bridge over the
Delaware. The bill Is now In committee.
Speakers will urge the business men pres
ent Q call on their representatives for
action, on the Connor bill.
New Jersey already is prepared to un
dertake part of the expense of bridging
the Delaware. A, bill adopted this year
rmpowers any three counties bordering
tho Delaware to assume one-half of the
expense of building the bridge.

THIS ASTOUNDING GIRL
NO PRODIGY, MIND YOU
Mother of Child Whose Talents
Dazzle Says They Are Prod
uct of "Natural Education."
MRS. WINIFRED S. STONER'S
TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR
MODERN MOTHERS
Thou shnlt not administer unto
thy child physical punishment.
Thou shalt not scold thy child,
out give rewards for good behavior.
Thou shalt never say "Don't" to
thy child.
Thou shalt never say "Must" to
thy child.
Thotl shalt not give thy child oc
casion to disrespect thec.
Thou shalt never frighten thy
Thou shalt not allow thy child to
say "I can't."
Thou shalt always answer thy
child's questions.
Thou shalt not tease thy child.
Thou shalt make thy home the
vwst attractive place thy child can
find.
It might havo been a peaco meeting of
the various nations now engaged in tho
war. Questions in French, replies In Ger
man and Jnpanese, comments In Italian,
Chinese nnd Esperanto, with a soupcon
of English dropped to cheer tho spirits
of tho bewildered reporter, floated airily
over the transom, followed by more
French, German, Japanese and whatnot.
. It was not a peace meeting of the
various stations, however. It was Mrs.
Winifred Sackvllle Stoner, originator of
a new educational method called "natural
education," talking to her daughter
wonder, Winifred, Jr., who says things
In Spanish at you If you are Indiscreet
enough to speak of her as a "prodigy."
They are here to tell Philadelphia
mothers ahout this new system and have
apartments at the Bcllevue-Stratford.
When the visitor was announced, Wini
fred, with all the playfulness and lack of
self-consclousncss of a young kitten,
bounded In.
"Hello," she said, dropping a huge tome
on Herodotus, and putting out a friendly
little paw, "como on sit down and talk
to us."
It was then that the word "prodigy"
was mentioned.
"Cherle Is not a prodigy," said Mrs.
Stoner emphatically, "she is simply an
average normal child whose development
has been along natural lines, as all
youngsters' training was .meant to be.
She has never been whipped In her life
and sho has never been to school. She
does not know tho meaning of the word
study," as It Is commonly defined, be
cause she has never been forced to study.
She has been permitted to follow her
natural Inclinations."
AND YET, NOT A PHODIGY.
The 12-year-old girl, who has never been
punished or never made to study and Is
not a prodigy, has not suffered from
these deprivations. She can row, fence,
swim, skate, box, ride horseback, play
ball, cook, crochet, knit, sew, play chess
(sho has beaten several champions, It Is
said), and converse In eight languages.
In addition to this she has written nine
plays, Is a violinist and pianist, a teacher
of Esperanto, adept In making sketches
from life nnd a finished performer of
eurythmlc dancing.
"There Is no such thing as a prodigy,"
said the mother, a "live," Intense woman,
remarkably good-looking, whose amber
eyes are as snappy as her enthusiastic
manner of talking of "Natural Educa
tion." "Every normal child Is born with
a tendency or a talent sometimes more
than one. The so-called prodigies suiter
from overstimulation, and that Is the
reason they die young. Some of their
faculties are permitted to dwell on the
housetops and the others are relegated
to the basement. Their broad general
education is choked by the weeds of
neglect, and they never grow Into the
beautiful, full-blown plants that nature
Intended them to be."
BRIBED WITH A NICKEL
At this minute "Cherle had to be
bribed by the lure of a nickel In "coll
hard cash," to go to the roof and let
the newspaper photographers have a
"whack" at her. When the mother pro
duced the nickel, "Cherle" took the pla
ture men in tow and proceeded roofward;
but only then.
Mrs. Stoner declares that her method
Is not entirely new, but is based on many
of the best principles of the famous
educators of the past But her system of
teaching the Infant mind reading! spell-
lag, punctuation and construction by
means of the typewriter is absolutely
naw. , '
"J can each a child of 4," she said,
"djwjljt jeadJnsr, spelling and punctuation
m th typewriter In W dais. Wo do It
aitSif Una In our schools."

STOCK EXCHANGE PROBING
RISE IN BETHLEHEM STEEL
Reason for Violent Fluctuations in
Shares Is Sought.
NEW YOnK. April 14. Walt street
fairly .buzzed today with excitement over
the sensational fluctuating of Bethlehem
Steel common stock. Nothing like It has
been seen on the street since 1903, when
Northern Pacific stock shot to 1000 as the
result of a battle of financial giants to
gain control of It.
Governors of the stock exchange have
quietly launched an Investigation Into the
cause of the Bethlehem's stock fluctua
tion. It Is genemlly believed that a
battle Is being waged for control of the
corporation. An English syndicate is said
to be in the field for the controllng
stock.
Tho Bethlehem Steel Company, because
It produces a large majority of the sup
plies for the Allies, Is sought because It
would be a great asset to an English
concern now.
Bethlehem stock, which Is nondlvldend
paying, started at 46W at the beginning of
this year. It waB dormant for two
months, and then, when rumors of large
war orders and big profits were circulat
ed. It started skyward, reaching Its high
est point yesterday of 155.
The stock today sold 20 points above
the final of yesterday and then went off,
remaining above the final of yesterday,
however.

FOODS IN SEASON
By MRS. ELSIE C. McKAY
There Is much talk just now on the
part of some food nnd cooking experts
of substituting nuts for meats, of using
meat only ns a "flavor" In tho seasoning
of Vegetables. It is true that families
can exist on this diet, but they cannot de
velop brawn nnd musclo on It.
Tho growing child as well ns tho adult
mununl laborer must depend on strong
food the food thnt contains most nour
ishment. The child, growing and develop
ing physically nnd mentally, should have
meat nt least once n day. If denied this
food, In Inter life he will feel the effects
of an insufficient diet and reap the har
vest bf anemia nnd diseases which fol
low In the wnke of malnutrition. The
adult of Eedentnry hnblts, however, enn
easily eliminate meats and feel no III
rffeclB and In mnny cases may bo tho
better for It.
"Thero Is much difference of opinion not
only among tho general maBs of Indi
viduals, but among food specialists and
physicians ns well, with regard to an
exclusively vegetable diet. Our BO-callcd
food specialists aro usunlty meat-eating
men. Experiments with vegetable food
nnd other meat substitutes aro limited to
a nnrrow range. Food lists containing
nuts, cereals, fruits, nitrogenous, succu
lent nnd starchy vegetables as a general
diet certainly would pall on one's nppo
tlto. Whllo nuts mixed with foods glva
sustaining power, they cannot be used
ns constant diet as a substitute for meat.
A properly balanced diet Is necessary
for tho general sustenance of the body,
Slnco tho prices of meats havo been
IiIkIi nnd may go higher, tho housowlfo
should study the ment question with a
view to intelligent "marketing'," Sho
should learn to prcparo nnd cook the
cheaper cuts palntably. Theso cheaper
cuts are Just ns rich In nutrition, nlthough
not ob fine grained, but can bo made to
sorvo tho same purpose ns more expen
sive cuts, nttliniigh they require a little
more time and pains In preparing nnd
serving.
Few who enter a butcher's stall know
that the parts nourished by muscular use
secrete the flavor nnd Juices. Take, for
example, Ihe neck nnd forcqunrter of n
sheep or ox, which are nmong tho cheaper
cut. As far ns nutrition Is concerned
they far flurpnss the tenderloin nnd other
more expensive cuts.' Broth mnde from
neck of mutton that has had muscular
use bus more flavor that that mado from
ribs. It Is also of great Importance to
know thnt there nre different cutR of tho
best nnd most choice meats. By dealing
In n large market one enn have the op
portunity of looking over tho stock of
different dealers until a cut which suits
Is found nt reasonable figures. This
method offem greater advantages than
dealing with tho corner grocery, where
only a small lino Is carried nnd where one
Is obliged to take the cut offered nt tho
price asked.
Always Insist upon nil bones nnd trim
mings being sent home along with meat
purchased, or, better jet, take a market
basket along and tnko your purchases
along with you. Tho bones and trimmings
can bo used for soup, and suet rendered
for seasoning nnd frying. Never nllow
meats to llo In the paper containers In
which thoy were brought homo. They
should always be unwrapped Immediately
nnd placed on Ice. Not only must meats
bo purchnsed In first class condition but
they must be safeguarded from all taint
In the home nnd placed In a proper re
frigerating box.
u hile meats nro used all through the
year nnd virtually every line of meat Is
procurable at nny time, thero nre certain
meats which nre best adapted to different
rcaFons. Lamb nnd veal aro the preferred
meats of spring. Beef, while used all the
year and considered best In winter, la
also to n great extent used In spring. But
pork, which is one of tho heavy, oily,
less digestible meats belonging to tho
winter diet list, should bo used sparingly
at this season.
LAMB
Lamb now clulms foremost attention.
Spring Inmb being much smaller than
mutton Ih divided Into hnlven nnd quar
ters only, and is sold and cooked In these
quantities. Tho "foio" quarter Is consid
ered the better. Tho very early baby
lamb Is cnlled "house lamb." The "lamb
chops" sold In a majority of markets are
chops from young sheep, fiometlmcs from
smnll, thin mutton, not lamb.
It Is well to know how to tell the dif
ferent chops. Lamb chops can easily bo
distinguished from mutton by the color
of tho bono, which In lamb Is red. As
lamb grows older, blood recedes from the
bones, therefore, In mutton the bone Is
white. Lamb should bo well cooked,
while mutton la often seivcd rare.
"House lamb," born In winter and
reared under shelter and mostly fed upon
milk, is considered n great delicacy.
These lnmbs range from six weeks to
three months In age. About next month
tho "grass lambs," or those brought up
out of doors on graas, will bo In market.
The yearling lnmb comes next. From
this young lamb como our dainty, reul
lamb chops.
The "fore" and "hind" quarters uro
good for roasting. They may be stuffed
like fillet of veal. Always be euro to
havo lamb well done. Tho conventional
dressing mint sauce so tempting In
spring. Is mewt ofton used, though a
cream dressing Is very good.
LEG OF YOUNG LAMB.
This Is often served by Itself, nnd
makes a useful and excellent Joint. It
may be boiled or stuffed and roasted and
served with suitable sauce.
FILLET OF VEAL; CURRANT JELLY.
The fillet, which Is tho under part of
loin, always makes a dainty meal. Have
the fillet boned at market and fill tho
cavity with any good filling; lay pieces
of bacon on top and basto frequently with
dripping. Four hours should be required
to cook this properly. Currant Jelly Is
very nice served with It.
VEAL POTPIE.
This Is a dish In which the cheap cutH,
such ob the breast, can be used to good
advantage, and makes an excellent menl.
Season well, cook until done and bake
In a pan lined with rich pastry, cover
with pastry and brown in oven.
VEAL CUTLETS; MUSHROOMS.
Take cutlets, trim neatly like mutt in
OutletB. Take a piece of lean bacon, cut
In sllceo about one-elghth-lnch thick and
trim each slice to the size of cutlets.

white Niagara grape, choice grape fruit, a trace

BRYAN OPENS WILSON'S
1916 BOOM IN THIS CITY
Speech Before Jefferson Club
Taken ns Secretary's Sur
render of Ambition. '
Something like the cloquo nt national
conventions giving cheers of "record
breaking duration" to tho "favorite sons"
soemed to bo In order at tho all but offi
cial opening of President Wilson's cam
paign for a second term nt tho annual
dinner of the Jefferson Club of Philadel
phia. Five minutes' continuous cheering
marked tho end of Secretory Bryan's eu
logy of tho President ns nn apostlo of
pence nt tho dinner In tho Adelphla
Hotel last night. Tho speech wns re
garded as an acknowledgment by Mr.
Bryan that ho would loavo the field open
to Mr. Wilson, and would expect other
prominent Democrats to do tho samo.
Tho public, ho said, would continue to
Indorso tho doctrines crystallized Into
law In tho last two years.
"Tho Wilson boom" was further accen
tuated by ex-Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer, who said ho would bo satisfied If
ho were as suro of a seat In heaven ns
he wob satisfied thnt Woodrow Wilson
would be tho choice of tho noxt Demo
cratic National Convention,
In every speech It wns ovldencod that
tho national Adtnlnlstrntlon had begun a
campaign for lOlfl to offset 'tho education
al campaign conducted undor tho guld
nnco of the manufacturing nnd commer
cial Intorcsts of tho country.
Dudley Field Malonc, collector of tho
port, of Now York, declared a business
boom was on Its way and nccusod tho
Republicans of being calamity howlers.
Ho said tho war tax would havo been
much greater under tho Payno-Aldrloh
tariff than under tho Underwood tnrlff.

BECAUSE OF HIS CRIMES
Ex-Dictator's Life Threatened Hud
to Be Escorted by Destroyers.
WASHINGTON, April 14. Tho real rea
son why Vlctorlnno Hucrta, former Moxl
can dictator, came to tho United States
from Spnln wns rovcaled hero today. Ho
was, seeking a rcfugo. Whllo ho may
tnko part In affairs rclntlvo to Mexico,
that was not his nlm In coming here,
Government officials havo learned.
Publication of a list of crimes com
mitted against Spaniards during Hucrta's
rcglmo In Mexico aroused public nnger
In Spain to such an extent that tho
Madrid Government virtually expelled
him. This wns dono ostensibly to appease
tho wrath of tho Spanish people, but In
reality to savo Huorta's life, as ho was
In serious danger of mob violence.
As soon ns Hucrta reached Spain and
settled down to enjoy tho fruits of his
rulo In Mexico, tho Spanish nowspupcrs
began denouncing him. They declared
that directly after tho death of Madero,
Hucrta demanded J20.000.000 from a list
of Mexican banks. Ho finally obtained
J25,000,000 and deposited tho money In
Spanish bnnks.
"Why shall wo provide a harbor for
this assassin?" nsked one Spanish news
paper editorially, and called upon the
Government to expel the unwelcome
guest.
Mobs assembled around Huorta's resi
dence and tho Government privately In
formed him that he must leave Imme
diately. A "guard of honor" was placed
at his door. It was really a cordon of
mounted police to protect him.
Ofllcers of tho Government not only
escorted Hucrta to the pier and saw him
on board tho Lopez, but two swift de
stroyers accompanied the vessel to sea.
Mothers May Keep Children
Commitments of dependent children
from tho Juvenile Court will bo accepted
by the Roman Catholic Children's Bureau,
and when It Is found expedient tho
chnrges will bo allowed to remain in their
own 'homes. This announcement wns mado
yesterday by fllrs. A. G. Prince, repre
senting the bureau. Since the County
Commissioners refusod to honor orders
made by Judge Gorman In favor of char
itable agencies that nllow children to re
main with their mothers several organi
zations were compelled to stop payments
to mothers.
