Natural Act for Mother

Natural Act for Mother
A few days ago, in a somewhat
squalid neighborhood, a house
caught fire. The flames shot quick
ly through the litter on the floor
and the untidy array of clothing on
the walls A woman talking with a
neighbor ran screaming to the
house and without an instant's hes
itation Sprang through the smoking
doorway into what already seemed
an inferno. A moment later she
staggered out, her hands and face
blackened and blistered and her
clothing on fire. In her arms she
bore her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon papers came out
with the story, printed under head
les exlrolllng this mothers hero
ism. Men read it on street cars,
and as their eyes cleaned with the
stirring of the spirit which leaps to
greet noble deeds they said: That
woman dared to do what most men
would be afraid to do" But the
mothers who read it at home did
not think that way. Perhaps the
danger to the baby, the wrecking of
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture to their
eyes, but to them the act was not
one Of heroism it was simply what
any natural mother, no matter how
tilnid, would do under the same
circumstances. Cleveland Leader.

lRy Associated Pres,

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-The days
events brought nothing to stimulate
interest in the stock market. which
was in somnolent state. The desire
on the pare OF many brokers to en-
tend the Thanksgiving holiday over
the end OF the week was called re-
spoashle in Fart for the intense dull
mess. A small fraction marked the
extreme vibration for some of the
most active stocks. While the market
presented this discouraged aspect from
the standpoint OF traders. the Bank
os Engl'nd larger financial interests
seemed content TO see the specula-
ton lie fallow. The growing strength
of the banking position is relied on
to provide resources for coming bond
lcta ion.

board is composed OF three high
school principals OF the state--Prfn-
cipals Hart OF Spokane, CoIlicott OF
Tacoma and McKown of Seattle.
Collicott is believed to be friendly
to Wenatchee A week ago, after
the Queen Anne game. McKown de-
clared his intense desire to see
Wenatchee-Aberdeen game played in
Seattle on the University grounds.
The question now is, what will be
the decision Of Mr.. Hart of Spokane?
If he favors the proposed game with
Aberdeen, the matter Is practically
settled. 1t was suggested in the
conference last night that his own
teams standing will be raised il
Wenatchee is given an opportunity
to play Aberdeen and defeats her.
1t is Spokane's one opportunity to
redeem her record made in the de-
feats administered by Tacoma and
Broadway. Aberdeen defeated Ia
coma. Tacoma defeated Spokane.
Spokane played a tie game with We
patchee and now if Wenatchee can
beat Aberdeen it will give Wenatchee
the state championship, but Spo-
kane's standing will be as good as
Broadway's or Tacoma's who are the
next in line for second holors.
Principal Mckown's interest in
voting for Wcnatchee- Aberdeen
game would be simply to have Aber-
deem whipped after having defeated
his own team, the Lincoln High.
The same is true of Tacoma. This
diagnosis of the situation is given
on the basis that all three members
of the boapd OF control will be gov
erned by their individually selfish
considerations. Each of them are
known to be high minded men who
will act in the best interests Of the
sport
All the sporting editors of the
state are urging the proposed game
with Aberdeen and will put II up
to the board of control that the
state championship cannot be decided
except by this contest 1t Is there
fore believed that the three high
school principals will be actuated By
the worthy motive of giving the bes,
tea mthe chance to establish, its
claim for state championship
