Joan Maudes little book, "Be-
hind the Night Lights" has just
been published by John Murray,
one of England's most prominent
publishers, and even the biggest
literary folks in England are
reading it.
And no wonder! Joan is less
than A years old. She can't read
or write. And what's more, she
doesn't realize that she is al
authoress.
When Joan was less than 8
years old she began to talk to
her mother of a queer lot of crea-
lures whom she numbered among
her fanciful friends. There was
the "Kiddikee" and the Glitch
penny" and the "Lowdge" and
the "Hibbertoo."
OF these and II other animals
Joan was almost continually talk
ing to her mother, telling her
what they said, what they did,
what they looked like and what
recent adventures they had passed
through.
Joan's "Lowdge" is an ex-
tremely interesting and wondrous
creature.
She told her mother this about
it. never once, during a whole
year, changing her description:
Hes purple and ugly. He
runs very fast; faster than dog
gle; quicker than the hare. He
throws his legs up very high. He
has only two legs, but there is a
large space between each. His
toes are turned up when he runs,

After all, the most exquisite
creation of the modiste is the
perfectly fashioned evening dress
with all its soft. clinging folds
and graceful lines.
A capital illustration presents
itself in the accompanying pic
ture which is a real delight to
the artistic eye that catches line
and design and draping imper-
ceptibly.
And yet the whole costume is
simple and might be built out of
medium priced materials.
While the panier drapery over
the hip gives coquetry to this

The black velvet hat With its

THE AFFINITY DISEASE

THE AFFINITY DISEASE
Dear Miss Grey: We are
two married ladies' of same
age. Both have been mar
ried over five years. We are
not satisfied with our hus-
bands.
Miss Grey, we both have
another fellow whom we
think will be very good to us
and we love them very much.
Our husbands are good to US
in many ways; but we have
to spend our evenings at
home while they go out with
other company.
What shall we do about
1t? Shall we leave eur hus-
bands for these other fell
lows, who are home-Ioving
men; or shall we stick with
our husbands?
HOME LOVERS.
Al know of nothing that
will make a woman dissatisfied
with her husband, or a husband
tired of his wife quicker than
the affinity disease.
We can always find good CD
reasons for the things we want
to do, and excuses for those we
do not. And l know the affin-
ity craze is responsible for a
great many unhappy homes.
Because your husbands dc
not do right is no reason you
should do wrong; and not until
men and women learn what honor
means in marriage will we have
good homes, good children, and
a good nation.
These men of whom you speak
are not home lovers, or they
would not try to break up your
homes, and they have not your
good at heart, or they would not
you to dishonor your
homes by associating with them,
to your husbands.

SUPREME COURT WRESTlES
WITH PR0M0uNS TO SOLVE -, :.
lEeALITY OF INITIATIVE

that II It might mean that the con-
stiutiopal amendments had to pe

state four weeks before the genera
election as we'll as the newspapers,
that in view of the fact that ~
could also be construed to mean
that this was not necessary tna'
the old rule OF law giving prefer
ence to a meaning that would sus-
tain the validity OF the action under
itmust be followed rather than an
INTERPRETATION that would nullify the
expressed will of the people.
His contention was that 1t must

doubt that the constructor adopted
nv the executive officers OF the STATE
vas wrong before the action OF the
lower court could be upheld. II
under any reasonable construction
the officers Of the state could oe
sustained it was then necessary LOT
the supreme court to do so.
Judge Dixon's argument. wnIcn
was a mastery effort in illumina-
tion, consisted in brief, that tne
words land also. which followed
the Injunction that the constitution
al amendment printed in one paper
IN each county for four weeks pre-
ceding the general election ana
which preceded the words IN tne
session laws of the state meant
that they should be also printed four
weeks before the election In the
session laws the same as IN Tue
newspapers. .,
The secretary Of state immedi-
ately following the extra session OF
the legislature had the constitu-
tional amendments giving life to the
initiative and referendum. printed
in one paper in each county OF the
state four weeks before the Novem-
Der election, but owing to the lack
of time was unable to have them
printed in the session laws until az
ter the election where 1t was adopt
ed by a large majority.
Judge Dixon's contention was
that this failure to comply with the
law in regard to publication rend-
cred invalid the amendment and
forbade any action under 1t as con-
templated BY the initiated and re-
ferred bills now ready to be SUD
mitted.
eft" said Judge Dixon. there Is
not time after an extra session for
the constitutional amendments TO
be printed in the session laws before
the election, then such amendments
cannot be passed at an extra ses-
sion. The constitution cannot be
made to At the facts: the facts must
be made to At the constitution"

sci, the court took the case under

cision in time to allow tho secre-
tary Of state to have the bills IN MS

PIERCE WILL
PRODUCE WELL
THIS SEASON
All Crops arc Particularly Good. In
cludinG the Now Beet Field
Potatoes all Right

Pierce. Sept. 13.-According to
reports on the portion of the crop
that has been threshed around here
and an estimate on the remainder
OF the crop, Pierce will have as good
q yield as any section in the county.
Dry land oats and barley will aver
age from 80 to 45 bushels to the
acre, fall wheat from Is to 25, and
corn, flax, millet, cane and beans are
sure to bring q good yield IL one
may Judge by appearances.
In the irrigation district tribu-
tary to Pierce oats are averaging 40
to IS bushels, wheat 80 to SO, bar
ley 35 to so. This average il based
on the yield of grain that has been
threshed, but it is thought that the
average will be raised when thresh-
iLg begins east of town. where the
crops are believed to be heavier.
Beets we're never better in q new
territory and many doubt that the
old territories will have better crops
than seen here. Potatoes are also
good.

preme court room. where the va
lidity of the constitutional amend
ment allowing legislation to Do
initiated and referred In this state
was at issue yesterday gave the I'M
preesion of a school room rather
than hall Of justice.
The point at issue between the
people Of the state. represented oy
Special Counsel Governor John r.
Shafroth and Attorney General ben
Griffith and his assistants. and Will
liam s, Tate, of Pueblo, represented
BY Attorney N. Walter Dixon, was
the construction Of a clause in the
tate constitution and instead OF
learned precedents being cited by
respective counsel. the air was NIL
"a with arguments based on the
meaning of "antecedent clauses
.relatiye pronouns" and complex
sentences.
Upon the decision Of the supreme
court, which Attorney General Grif-
fifth asked to be rendered as soon as
possible, depends the question OF
whether the thirty and more initiat-
ed and referred bills now on nle In
the secretary of states onice may
he presented to the voters at the
coming election.
Obtained Mandamus
Judge Dixon in the district court
obtained q mandamus foroiddine
the secretary of state having the
bills printed. as provided by law.
before placing them on the ballot.
on the grounds that the original
initiative and referendum bill, pass
ed at the extraordinary session OF
the legislature in September, 1SlV'
and adopted at the polls by the peo-
ple the following November. had not
been published in accordance win
the law of the state and therefore
was invalid.
The people of the state, through
the attorney general. appealed 70
the supreme court to reverse the
decision of the lower court, ana
the oral arguments on the case were
heard yesterday morning.
Governor Shafroth, appearing
especially in the case. argued tnat
the only construction OF the statute
vas that the provision calling Tor
the publication of the constitutional
amendments in one newspaper IN
every county Of the state. and also
in the session laws of the state be-
fore the general election upon which
they we're to be voted, meant that
the amendments must be printed
IN the newspapers four weeks be-
fore the election, but that they
could be printed at any time In the
seesion laws and were not limited to
be Incorporated in them four weeks
before the election.

eeded that IL there we're two pos
