!" HERE is a court of politeness in
Ell Paso. It is the commission OF
three which is to arbitrate the
Chamizal question and it is meeting
in the federal building.
Eugene Lafleur. who makes his
home in Montreal, Canada, is the pre-
siding commissioner. Although not a

should not be referred to as Judge, he
is man versed in the law of interna

column few days ago that the
widow was the preferred matri-
monial risk because. having been
through the college Of Matrimony, she
had learned many valuable pointers
about how to steer a safe course be-
tween the Jagged rocks that beset the
course Of domesticity-
Therefore the man who ships with
her is more likely TO have a pleasant
and safe journey through life than If
he embarked with an inexperienced
young girl who had never been mar
ried before.
In a word, that inasmuch as every
woman who marries has to learn by
experimenting how to run house and
manage q husband and keep off his
corns, No. ? reaped the benefits of No.
Is trials and tribulations. A prudent
man. with due regard for his comfort
and digestion, always picks out an ex-
perienced cook who has learned her
trade. Then why not marry an exper-
fenced wife? What?
A man reader of this paper, who is
interested in this view of the subject,
writes to know If this optimistic opin-
ion of the widow, as a wife, applies to
divorced women also, and whether, in
marrying a divorced woman, he should
INQUIRE
divorce or not.
The Widow Makes the Best Wife.
Any widow, grass or sod. is pretty
sure to make a good wife, and, gen
orally speaking, no other woman in
the world is quite as certain to be a
man-spoiIer as the one who gets a good
husband after being married to a brute
who treated her so badly she was
forced to divorce him. She will know,
above all other women, how TO appre
ciate tenderness, and kindness, and
consideration at their true worth
The woman who has never been mar
ried before takes the goodness Of

the man who filled her life with hap
piness and softness, but when wo-
man who has been badgered, and brow
beaten, and neglected. and Inundated
by her first husband gets a second
husband. who cherishes her, she spends
her days burning incense to him.
Some of the best wives have ever
known were women who had been d.
vorcces; and 1t was touching and
piteous thing to see how blissful and
how adoringly and humbly grateful
they were to their husbands for little
attentions that other wives never even
noticed
But man would be an idiot to mar
ry & divorced woman without finding
out why she was divorced; just as he
would be an idiot to marry any other
" oman without trying to ascertain all
he possibly could about her character.
her disposition and her qualifications
for making a good wife, and the sort
OF a mother he wants for his chill
dren.
Certainly, a man would take a big
risk who married a woman whose hus-
band had divorced her for unfaithfu1-
ness; for honor is honor, and truth is
truth, and the wife who has been dis
loyal to one man is very apt to be dis
loyal to another. Barring that, and the
woman having been divorced because
OF the drug or liquor habit, there is
no reason why the grass widow should
not make as good a wife as any other

ORIGIN OF MOVING PICTURES

THE moving pictures that now form an
important part in the entertainment of
the public everywhere, had their origin in
an after dinner discussion between Sir John
Herschel and his friend Charles Babbage, as
long ago as 1926.
1t appears that Sir John, making inquiry
of Babbage as to how he would show both
sides of a shilling coin at the same time, the
latter replied by holding a coin before a mir
ror; a shift, however, that did not satisfy
Sir John, who proceeded to afford his guest
a better example This he did by spinning
the shilling on his dinner plate, at the same
time inviting Babbage's attention to the pc
cuiar fact that, if the eye was placed on
level with the rotating coin, he could see
both sides thereof at the same time. The
result of this little diversion was that Bah
bage impaired the information to scien-
tifc friend, DR.. Fitton, who Immediately
constructed working model based upon the
idea.
Fitton's device consisted of a disk, on one
side of which was shown the drawing of
bird, while on the other side was depicted an
empty birdcage. So, when the disk was rap
idly revolved on silk thread, the bird was
made to appear imprisoned in the cage.
Here, for the first time, was shown that per-
sistence of vision whereon all moving pic
lures depend for their effect. The eye re-
tains the image of the object seen for frac-
ton of a second after the object has been
removed. Fitton called his model the
thaumatrope.
The next step in the development of the
idea was the construction of the wheel of
life" or zoetrope, device consisting of
cylinder perforated with a series of slots.
Within this cylinder was placed band of
drawings of dancing men. When this de-
vice was caused to rotate slowly, the figures
seen through the slots gave the effect Of a
dancing motion.
The first systematic photographs of NOV
ing beings taken at regular intervals were
made in 1877.

Jeff caught a warning look from Camilla
across the table which softened his laughter.
He explained, and the Baroness joined in the
merriment. Then he told her that he had
been for years cowpuncher down in Arizona
and New Mexico before he went into bust
ness, described the roundup, the grub
wagon, and told her of brush with some
Yaqui Indians who were on the warpath.
When he began, the other people stopped
talking and listened. Jeff was in his element,
and without embarrassment finished his
story amid plaudits. Camilla, listening
timidly, was forced to admit that his domi-
nation of the table was complete. The con-
versation became general, a thing that rarely
happened at the Bent dinners, and Jeff dis
covered himself the center of attention. AL
most unconsciously he found himself adj
dressing most of his remarks to woman OPP
posite, who had listened and questioned with
an unusual show of interest.
When the ices were passed he turned to
Mrs. Rumsen and questioned, Haven't

"Rita-you haven't met Mrs. Wray-Mrs.

Fight the Summer Heat
TT isn't the heat, it is the food that kills

In the long sultry nights you do not need to bear
yourself exhausted If the baby has the right food it
will not mind the heat. Try Nestles for while, and

For Nestles exactly suits the little baby stomach;
Neste's will not spoil in the heat and Nestles
tans germs.
More babies die of summer diarrhea than any
other cause because in the heat of the year milk
has than the usual number OF germs and the
Chds powers OF resistance greatly essened IN hot
weather. Your baby cannot digest the curds in cows
milk and your baby needs sugar than it gets in
cows milk
All this is overcome in Nestles Food. Nestles
is the best cows milk from sanitary diaries,
purified and modified until it is the nearest thing there
is to mothers milk. That is why it suits the baby
stomach so we'll; babys stomach was made to digest
it's mothers milk and any substitute for that mothers
