kern's Resolution Still Unsettled.

In the debate over Senator Kern's
resolution for an investigation of min
ing conditions in West Virginia the
senate discussed the authority of the
governor of West Virginia to issue an
order declaring martial law which
closed the civil courts and substituted
therefore the court-martial. Senator
Goff maintained that this act was up
held by previous decisions of the SUI
preme court of the United States and
the supreme court of Pennsylvania.
''lf in such cases." Senator Borah
declared, "the governor of the state
can close the doors of the courts and
deny the right OF trial by jury when
the courts are able to proceed with
cases under their jurisdiction and we,
the United States, are forced to sit
idly by and see it proceed we become
Mexicanized in forty-eight hours"
"lf there is state of insurrection,
Senator Goff replied, "the governor
has the authority to put the whole
state under martial law with the com
mander-in-chief to control it by his
own will. That is the law of war"

UNI sit up and crow. Just on a line
below the hip bone there are two belt
straps back and front. and through
these goes a belt a couple of inches
wide, fastened with two buttons. On
the humber ones a bias fold and
stitching about the neck and arms and
a deep hem is all the decoration there
is On the niftiest ones there is narrow
lace in the sleeves and neck and a belt
of a different color. The belt fits close

apron into folds. These are facts.
Now for the beauty and the joy of it.
You wouldn't believe how pretty it is
on a girl. For it falls into every line
of her body, gracefully and modestly,

that little kids clothes always have.

After The Honeymoon
The House
BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.
~ EVERAL times lately Anna had
complained of the mice in the
: kitchen, and had asked for
trap. But Helen could never
bear to have anything killed, had re-
fused to get one.
The most narrowing memories of
her childhood were the cruel rat traps
that had been kept in the pantry and
cellar of her grand-father's house
She still shuddered at the thought of
the helpless, squirming things with a
leg crushed in the old-fashioned steel
trap laying there for hours, until they
were found and killed.
Again and again she had stolen
down in the cellar where the traps
were set with bits of cheese, and had
strung them with a stick, so that she
might sleep that night free from the
thought that some little creature was
lying there manned and suffering I'M
til morning.
And countless times, when she found
them caught in these cage-like traps
which imprison, but do not injure, she
had opened the wire door to free them
before the servant could throw them
into a pail of water or let them out
before a leaping dog.
She Barred All Traps.
And so now. when she had a home of
her own, she was more emphatic in
her instructions that there were to be
no traps of any kind.
1t was afternoon just before Warren
came home that she reached up on the
shelf in the bathroom to get a fresh
box of matches for his smoking table
On this shelf she also kept the bird
seed, and it was from behind the
package of seed that a tiny mouse
sprang out. and in its terror fell over
the edge of the shelf into the bathtub
beneath.
For a second it rushed wildly around
the polished porcelain tub and then

began leaping up the slick sides only
to slide back again
The glass-like finish of the tub gave
imprisoned. And still it leaped franti-
cally-but only to reach just below the
edge and then fall back.
It's little body was quivering with
terror.
Helen after her first start and cry of
surprise when the mouse had darted
out, watched it with pity and dismay
"Anna-Anna, come here quick"
Anna appeared at the bathroom door,
her hands covered with flour.
"Loo:-look! How can We get it out
without hurting it,
With something like a snort Anna
reached over and turned on the hot
water faucet. But in a flash Helen had
dragged her back and turned it off.
She ScoIds The Maid.
Don't you dare to do a thing like
that!" Anna had never seen her so an
cry. do you think I'd let you scald
that little thing? If | ever see you do

want you to understand now that
nothing is going to be made to suffer
or to be killed in this apartment.
The mouse was still leaning franti-
cally on the side of the tub. oh, it
can never get out by itself-how can
we help it?"
ooh, it's Warren!" joyfully. War
ren-Warren. come here! There's

The explanation which he gives is that

for the phenomena, but, in a certain
sense, they remain mysterious, just as
life is mysterious.
Many substances possess the same

Walton says that if flask containing
sodium acetate, which has been cooled
below its natural freezing point with

containing dust of the solid acetate,
the fine particles of the latter drop

whole contents to solidify.
