Mary r. Watts, Audubon, Iowa, presi-
dent of the American Baby Health as
ISOLATION and originator of the Bet
ter Babies Contest" movement, will be
at the Washington state fairs contest,
which opens here September 20. This
Is the first contest on the Pacific Coast
which has been able to secure her. She
will address the mothers and club
women. and will advise and aid the
examining board.
There is probably no better known
woman in the United States today
than Mrs. Watts, and the women Of
Washington will be highly honored by
her visit. Last fail, by her individual
effort, she secured an appropriation OF
$4,000 from the Iowa legislature for
the erection of child welfare building
on the state fair grounds at Des
Moines which is now under cOnstruc-
ton. Her presence will undoubtedly
be splendid dawing card for the state
better babies contest.
Anna Steese Richardson, director OF
the better babies bueau, and Gertrude
B. Lane, editor of the WOman's Home
Companion of New York, will also be
present. These two prominent women
are doing much to spread the gospel
of better babies" and have been very
successful in their work.

Nothing could be done. The prospective brides
waited tearfully month by month. They grew at
first angry, then Indifferent and finally sought
husbands elsewhere.
A year passed and Luke and Mathew were no
nearer solution. Then after discussion in
black anger, Luke declared that they would d.
vide the house and all In it and never speak
again. Mathew agreed. The two brothers set
to work silently They drew line across the
center OF the front walk, up the porch steps and
directly through the middle Of the house. The
stove In the front room was on Luke's side of the
house, but the stove In the dining room was on
Mathews. Where the line bisected the dining
room the table was set so that each had his
just portion.
A mark was drawn through the center of the
cook stove and up the stoveppe. All the chairs
were equally divided, but the grandfathers chair
remained What to do with that was still prob
lem. Finally 1t was decided to place 1t exactly
in the center of the front room. 1t was agreed
that 1t should be used by the brothers on alter
nate days. The doors we're sawed in half and
hinged SO that neither should touch the property
Of the other. Bricks and copper divided the
cook stove, fire space, oven and all. When the
grim details had been settled the brothers retired
each to his own portion OF the house and com
menced the long silence In the twenty-three
years that followed neither stepped over the

the food to their respective ends Of the table and

operation in which silver tube was
inserted in his breast and placed
against the pericardium of his heart
to drain a liquid which threatened to

suffering from stone bruise on the

that at times his face became purple

and 1t was decided that his blood

TWINS IN STRANGE FEUD
Brothers Divide House and Do Not Speak to Each Other for q Years.

1t was grandfather's chair-a plain, old wood
en- 'rocker"-but, Insignificant as 1t appeared. 1t
was sufficient cause for spelling the best part Of
two lives says an exchange. Just because of the
chair Luke and Mathew Gregory, twin brothers,
made for themselves an existence as queer az
any recorded in the pages Of fiction. Because OF
the chair they dwelt side by side in house liter
ally divided. They gave up love, friendship and
social intercourse. For twenty-three years they
met every day without exchanging word. For
twenty-three years they glowered at each other
from opposite sides Of living room For twenty
three years each sat in the chair every other day
and read out OF the same bible turn and turn
about The house was divided by actual meas
urement and continued so divided until 1t full
filled the prediction Of the scriptures and fell in
reality.
Luke and Mathew Gregory were simple, hard
working miners Each day they went to the
great collieres at Wilkesbarre, labored on
through the day chatted with their other fellows
and returned home at night Yet they never had
a word one for the other. despite the fact that
they cooked at the same stove and ate from the
same table
The Gregorys were of Scotch birth and came to
Wyoming valley with their father John Gregory,
when lads of only three years. The elder Greg
DRY had been miner In Scotland With him he
brought his household effects among which were
the chair. With thrift and energy the father
made his way little by little. From his meager
wages he saved something and through his skill
was advanced step by step until he reached the
position Of boss Of the mine. When he died.
after the boys had reached the age of seventeen,
the lads were well able to look after themselves.
The twins had always been inseparable and the
father foresaw no difficulties In leaving what he
had to them share and snare alike, including the
Observation-Disclosures cottage.
When they celebrated their thirtieth birthday
each announced to the other that he was think
ing Of taking a wife They shook hands and
went to bed ioyfuly. The brothers had no idea
OF parting after thirty years, and determined to
pool their earningsaa and build second cottage on
the lot they owned next door. OF course, the
household goods would be divided Bit by BIT

less than most people would imagine, thanks to
the stabizing powers Of the gyroscope, improve

cal advances which make 1t possible to obtain
lighter and stronger materials than could be had

About year ago the engineering world was
decidedly interested In the demonstrating per-
formances Of small levitated railway, the
climax Of years Of study on the part of Its In
ventor, Emile Bachelet. Certainly that small in
stallation did some remarkable things, and the
question is, can a full-sized plant be made to
run as effectively and within the limits Of COM
mercial economy?
Mr.. Bachelet made novel use Of the repulsive
force Of certain magnetic stream lines, and his
carrier or car was actually made to float In the
air. thus avoiding rail friction and other associate
hindrances. His purpose was to provide means
of transporting mail and some kinds Of valuable
express matter aggregating in unit weight, with
