She looked startled. :. She hadn't
been thinking of that part of her
future. She had only realized that
she needn't dress UP each day.
.s'Well,'' she said, slowly, children
are a responsibility, and while Fred
and l can get along on SIS, l don't
know just how far it will stretch"
Fred surprised me. He seemed to
grow an inch as he Strengthened up.
,, "Of course, Miss Whitaker, won't
always get $1S. Iexpect to get more,
and Blanche and both love children.
l guess we can shoulder that respon-
sibility all right"
She laughed with a little embar-
rassment. =1
lone of the reasons l wanted to
talk to you, Miss Whitaker, is be-
cause our lives have been so much
the same. We have known, the same
poverty and the same struggle, only
you have watched one sister die, and
1 have watched two sisters and three
brothers die.
ooh, it was just the same story.
We couldn't afford doctors; we
couldn't afford medicine; we couldn't
afford fresh air, nor good milk
just plain poverty. The Lord knows
why lived, and frankly, until l met
Fred, thought it was shabby trick
Of fate that had to hang on when
the rest were getting a good long
sleep. -
But it discouraged me a little
about children. What is your real
opinion? Fred knows am cross at
times, some nights think l will just
sit here and shrek and shrek. Some
times in church 1 wonder what
would happen if 1 should begin to
laugh out loud?
Nerves, of course, and working
girls aren't entitled to them. But do
you think it is quite fair to have chill
dren that will start out with such a

It. is strange how some terrifying
statistic that you read once and tried
to forget will creep into your brain
at such a moment.
Without answering her, my MEM
DRY unearthed this one: "Fifty-one
per cent of the children of the rich
live to be twenty-one Fifty-one per
cent of the children of the poor die
before they are two years Old"
A cold wave of fear engulfed me,
and 1 tried to evade the issue.
"Oh,. WELL" said, perhaps we can
defeat heredity by the. proper care
afterward. If 1 were in your place,
would go to some suburb. It will be
little hard on your husband to COM
mute, but you will get back some
of your health in the fresh air and
l know that he will be glad to make
that sacrifice"
But, on my way home, mustered
the facts before me in grim array.
Low wages mean poverty poverty
means sickness sickness and power
ty combined mean-death.
And ninety-fiYe per cent of the peo-
pie are laborers and less than five
per cent are capitalists. Why is it
that the five per cent own the ninety
five per cent to take from them the
strength of their sinews, the blood in
their veins, the vitality of their brains
and give in return starvation?
Why is it we sleep, wonder? Are
we like the horse that could crush
his master with but single effort
and yet covers before a puny man
with puny whip?
That ninety-five per cent organized
against the five per cent of capital
what wouldn't. it mean? Strength,
happiness, health.

The chief topic Of conversation among

can state positively that 10 action will
be taken until after the funeral Of j.

IF they should conclude 70 meet the
challenger with the Reliance with TINA

though there are conditions under which
the smaller boat might win a race, such
as a following and a rising breeze; bur
the chances would naturally be against

fair proposition as could be made, and
one that would furnish good racing with
boats that would not he useless after ire

olson will design the boat with which Sir

This will not be Nicholson's first conncc-

lieye I could build one which would cross

II have the greatest admiration for the

all the conditions are in favor of the de-
fender make the task Of designing chal-
longing yacht one of the keenest interest

II hope Gardner as well as Herreshon

be almost as interesting as the final cup

SKULL DUGGERY"
BY JUDGE MADDOX

ROME, GA, Jan. 15.-Although there
is no such word aa 'skullduggery" in the
English dictionary, Judge John W. Mad
dox used It with considerable emphasis
in mis- charge to the grand jury, when
he alleged that underhanded methods had
been employed by Attorney W. h. Me-
bane, in taking a liquor case out OF the
superior court and entering a plea of gull
ty for a client in another court.
"Skullduggery. according TO Judge
Maddox, means undetermined and sneak

Just such skullduggery methods are
not to be tolerated" declared the judge
referring to the Mebane case
Mebane It is claimed represented T.. r.

true bin was brought against Minhinette
by the superior court grand jury He
made bond and left the county, and rule
Of mist was issued on the bond. When

TURKEY REVIEWS
DELAY TACTICS
PoStponeS Assembly Vote on
Peace Proposition Until Note
of Powers Is Received.

= CONSTANTINOPLE. Jan. l5.-The
Turkish government has extended its
policy of procrastination from London
to Constantinople, which for the time
being has become the seat of negotia-
lions on behalf of the peace in the
Balkans. Announcement was made by
the Porte today that the convocation
of national assembly to vote upon the
questions Of war or peace has been
postponed until after the powers pre-
sent their note to the Turkish govern
1t is believed the note of the powers
probably will be presented to the Porte
tomorrow In a modified form from the
original. At the time the German am
bassador presented his arguments in
behalf of tine justice to the Turk 1t
was not announced officially that the
allies had decided to terminate relations
with Turkey unless certain conditions
We're fulfilled.
According to a report current here,
Germany has suggested that Turkey be
allowed TO retain nominal suzerainity
owe! Adrianople and TO keep the Turk
ish islands in the Aegean sea lying
close to the coast OF Asia Minor.
Germany seems to be the only one of
the triple alliance Germany, Austria
and italy, which has given assurances
of diplomatic support to Turkey. A
telegram from Rome says the Italian
government desires TO remain abso-
lutely neutral in the Turko- Balkan sit
uation. while Austria already has her
hands full in the controversy with Ser
via. The one big hope of the powers
which are working for pacification is
that the Turkish treasury is empty and
that this will prove the determining
factor for peace.
