ORPHAN HOY MAKES
GOOD ON PROMISE HE
MADE— HELPS OTHERS
SPOKANE, Wn., March 10— A re
solution, formed in the days when he
was toiling as a locomotive engineer,
to make life easier and more plea -
ant, if he ever was given the oppor
tunity, for parentless hoys and gills
than his own orphan boyhood had been
: aw its fruition heie recently with the
completion by L. W. Hutton of this
city, at a cost approximating half a
million dollars, of tne Hutton settle
ment for children.
The opportunity came some years
afterward, when fortunate invest
ments in mining properties had placed
Mr. Hutton in the class of repute.I
millionaires, and in 1017 constiuct'on
of an orphan’s home was started. TIvi
entire institution, consisting of five
f;reproof building and a large dan./
barn situated on 28u acres of works,
farm and pasture lands near this city,
has boon built from Mr. Hutton’s per
sonal funds and under bis personal
supervision.
“Wo have sought to avoid all ‘tem
blancc to the ordinary ‘orphans’ home’
in planning and building the institu
tion, Mr. Hutton said. “It is my de
sire that no suggestion of ‘orphan'
be attached to the establishment a
any manner. I experienced what it
means to lack a father and a mother,
and I want the children who are to
live in this institution never to be
forced to contend with that handicap.”
The institution resembles a largo
country home, multiplied by four o ■
live, more than it does the traditional
orphanage. Besides a large central
building, housing the offices and liv
ing quarters of the staff, a completed
v quipped hospital, an assembly ball,
1) ikery, refrigeration plant and laun
dry, tiie establishment includes four
cottages. Each of the latter, con
structed of pressed brick, is in fact a
large dwelling house, accommodating
2 > tliildicn and their matron.
The joys of country life, with some
light work in the gardens and fields,
are promised the hundred boys and
g.r.s of the institution next summer.
Meat, vegetables, milk, cream and
butter, and the grain for the bread to
go with them are to be raised on the
farm, where last year some 700 sacks
of potatoes and 700 bushels of wheut,
among other crops, were grown.
The institution is managed by the
Ladies’ Benevolent society, an undeno
minal religious organization of this
c:ty, but the expenses of the institu
tion not otherwise provided for aic
mot by Mr. Hutton, who has signified
intention of endowing the home
upon his death.

WRIST SEASON MAY
AMELIORATE EXCHANGE
IJETWEEN FRANCE AND U. S.
PARIS, March 19— The forth
coming tourists season is expected i y
France to have considerable effect to
ward ameliorating the unfavorable
condition of French exchange on Am
erica. Neverthe’ess the questions <>f
providing1 transportation and hotel rc
commodntions here are causing soiuj
misgivings and hotel keepers gener
ally are hewn ding the limited mean?
of bringing visitors to France.
i)al Piaz, director of the Tran -
Atlantic Company, has expressed Wa
opinion that the number of America* s
d-siring to visit France in the coming
season will far surpass the transpor -
ation facilities, but that this will he
relieved by the putting into sendee * f
passenger vessels now under construc
tion principally in England before the
French hotels have been organized t ‘
receive the expected influx of forepM
visitors.

“It is not only the rich who desire *.e
finement in hotels hut all Ameri
cans.”
Mr. Camhon assess that. out?*do
of Paris and resorts like Vichy, K c**
and P-'amiPe, it is impossible to find
five good hotels in all France even .1
towns like Lyons, Marseilles, and Kou
en are included.
“Americans,” he adds, “do not
want luxury, all they ask is perfect
cleanliness, no greasy smells, com
fort and hygiene. Where can you fi: d
that among us? Nowhere is tlior*
very much of it but everywhere there
is one thing, our cooking. That is ce -
tnin’y much hut. frankly, it is net
enough.”

I R ANTES WILL PAY TAXES
AND ALSO RAISE CHILDREN
PARIS, March U)— Former Pre
mier Ciemcnceau’s pithy advice to ihu
French on his last speaking tjuv;
“Pay your taxes and have childrr\,’
has been followed by a crystallizing
of sentiment for prompt remedies to
the gradually decreasing birthrate.
“How to save France” and like
phrases are being used in a vigorous
campaign by The National Alliance,
organized to fight birth control and
to encourage the increase of popula
tion by making it an honor to have
large families and by giving bonuses
for all children after the second.
Pictures arc being used by the Al
liance comparing France and Gar
many, showing how France’s almost
stationary population in part decades
rnd its present decreases threaten the
nation and, it is added, “France s
lost; nothing can save a nation that
commits suicide,” unless present con
ditions are remedied. Illustrations are
given to show that it is possible for
a race* to die out or become so weak as
to be engulfed in a sudden influx of
foreigners. Other pictures contrast
the indigent attitude toward irregu
lar life with the opprobium, that, it ’S
urged, should attach to such conduct.
