readily admit that they We're necesSarfeS for them.
In tracing the historical process of Development of
wants and satistactions each earlier element seems more
important than each succeeding. one, the need of food
and physical protection being more pressing and essen-
tal than the needs Of "the higher nature" Logically,
however, or in the order Of nature, considered as a COM
plete system, not as n process-each subsequent need
or satisfaction Is more important and more valuable
than the preceding one in time, because it represents Il
higher type Of life. From this latter standpoint the
early functions are valued chiefly as the means or ma
terial basis of a higher spiritual life.
The higher need and its satisfaction-the soul-saving
or intellectual education-only seems important when
viewed by itself, torn away from relations and condi-
lions which attach 1t to other aspects of life.

WHAT ARE THE NECEssARIES OF LIFE?
By John A. HObsOn.

Good air, large, sanitary houses, plenty Of
wholesome, well cooked food, adequate changes
of clothing for the climate, ample opportuni-
ties Of recreation-is there any one Of these
things that does not sensibly assist to lengthen
the term OF physical life? Yet most, If not
all, of these things would be classed among
comforts or even luXuries for laborers, though

found next morning in the light position, and

evening comes on. We have, In fact, what
seems to be a habit built by the alteration of
day and night. The plant normally drops its
leaves at the stimulus of darkness and raises
them ut the stimulus Of light. But here we

vEDDER CHARGE
POSTPONED

Owing to a technically in con-
nection with the charges against
Charles Vedder, city examiner of
engineers, the engineers union
did not finish with the investiga-
ton Saturday night. A. w. Mer-
rift of the crematory department
charges that Vedder and Commits
sioner J. T. O'Brien conspired to
secure advance information on
questions for James T. Lockhart,
assistant crematory superintend-
emit, who aspires to be superintend-
ent, so he could secure license.
which is necessary by the terms of
the ordinance before he can be
made superintendent.
Merritt, who as superintendent
is not an active member of the
union, holds withdrawal card,
and the union charter does not al
low it to consider charges brought
by anyone but a member. For this
reason the matter was thrown out
until charges are filed in the regu-
lar way.
Merritt today stated that he
would have the charges filed by a
regular member of the union. He
claims to have affidavits.

NO READY MADE
DIVORCES
COURT REJECTS PRIVATE
AGREEMENT AS TO SEPARA-
TON OF A MARRIED COUPLE.

In the superior court today Judge
Huneke refused to sanction the
private agreement for a separation
signed by Charles M. Beauchamp
. real estate man, and his wife,
Hattie Beauchamp. The petition
for divorce filed by Beauchamp
was denied by the court. In the
complaint was set out in full the
agreement made by Beauchamp
and wife, in which all property mat
tiers were adjusted and the GUS
tody of the children settled by each
parent taking one of the daughters.
The Beauchamps were married
about is years ago at Royal Cen
ter, Ind. The husband alleged de-
sertion in his complaint.
Judge Huneke declines to author
ize divorces by the mutual agree
ment process, holding that suf-
ficient statutory cause must be
presented in the regular manner.

ways to please both boys and girls.
There are little Dutch maidens,
with real wooden shoes. There
are little French peasants and gay
Italian dancers and there are cow
boys and Indians and sailors.
And, yes; there are walrus tooth
dolls, funny and grotesque, such as
delight the Eskimo children. There
are Japanese dolls. with hair like a
cocoanut fringe and gaudy read and
yellow kimono dresses. There are
string dolls that the baby may
chew without hurting his teeth.
And there are Pilgrims and Hotten-
tots and South Sea islanders.
But the dolls that must have
made the little foreign children S
eyes bulge in wonder as they
worked in the great toy workshops,
and which certainly will make our
little girls eyes widen as they see
them, are the last analysis in doh
making-the elegant lady doll.

Milady stood with her naughty
little nose In the air. From the
saucy ermine head peering from
her furry hat to the dainty toe of
her satin boots her whole manner
seemed to ask: "Am / not the
grandest ever" ii
She was.
Her puffs Of fine blond hair mar
ceiling back to thes brim of her
handsome hat were held in place
by jeweled sidecombs. A white fur
coat, lined with satin, was thrown
open over an elaborate evening
gown. From her neck cleaned a
ruby necklace. On one hand was
poised a shell lorgnette. In the
other she held a fan of ostrich tips.
Her complexion, cream and
strawberry combination, attested to
the fine art of the beauty doctor.
And her lovely long silken lashes
that swept her cheeks went right
on sweeping her cheeks, for with
all my scrutiny this vision of love-
Illness was not in the least embar-

She was bisque lady-the new

stood in state on the counter
throng of admirers crowded around
her.
Curly-haired cherubs no longer

1t isn't good form in toy circles
this year. The real lady doll, with
the proper hour-glass figure and
Psyche or Pompadour hair, has
taken her place.
What next?
Yes, she does make one gasp and
rub ones eyes and wonder. But it
doesn't look as If there could be
any more evolution in dolls. This
bisque lady brought the what

If she expresses a wish to travel
all you have to do is tell the sales
lady about it and she will furnish
a dainty tray trunk of the newest
make, suitcase or an alligator bag
all perfectly suited to the lady's
size and use.
Besides there are travelling coats
and toilet bags supplied with minia-
ture soap box, powder and puff
and all the rest of it all ready for
her.

wants, the proper tailored suit and

which is quoted certain alleged
false statements printed in the In

purchase of the canal zone, Roose-

memory of departed brother with
appropriate ceremonies at the
