Asonizirg Experience Of l5-year.old
Lass Who Was Found 20
Miles From Home.

Poughkeepsie. n Y, April 90
After stumbling through torrents OF
rain and being denied shelter in
feur farm houses, Lorna Cooking.
ham, the fifteen-year-old daughter OF
a local florist, went to sleep in q
COW stable near Wagner's twenty
miles from here.
She was found in the morning
cuddled against one of the cows by
Harry Devoe, a. farm hand. The
girl was scratched. wet and very
tired She had fought her way
through brambles and briars. and
had fallen into rain-filled gullies.
At the four houses where she had
sought rest she had been taken for
r wrath.
Eludes Her Grandfather
In her. fifteen-years of lde the
girl has grown tall and fair, but her
eyes tell the tragedy of mind that
has not kept pace with the body.
Her pleasures, her griefs and all her
Ideals are those of a little child.
With simple naivete. after Sheriff
Hornbetk and her father brought her
home. Lorna told of elnding her
grandfather aud running through
the trees and rain toward the top
of the blue hills" Her heavy hair
and clothes became water-soaked,
and when it grew darker, she says,
strange figures peered at me in
tho trees.
Runs for an Hour.
She ran for an hour or more, Sha
stopped at farm house and rapp-
ed at the low window. The farm
er's wife pulled aside the shade and
pecred out into the face OF the dren-
ched child whose hair and eyes weic

dropped the blind and gathered

There was ghost or a mad creature
outside.
Again farther on through the rain
she stopped at farm house and
raped at the door. A child open

and slammed the door. She had seer

Twice again the girl knocked a

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-In the good
days to come not only will children
be properly educated. so that learn
ing shall be a joy. but even their in
FAINT year will be protected from all
petty annoyances and pains that
bring tears. This is the declaration
of Mime. ,Montessori, who arrived
here yesterday.
Properly brought up children do
not cry" said the famous Italian edu-
Gator, smiling at the astonished re-
porters, who greeted her at the Hol-
land House. IF a child cries that
means it is suffering. Modern science
has been able to interpret the needs
of babies so that they will not suffer,
and therefore they do not cry. In
the great hospitals of Rome, such as
the Clinic Obstetric and tho Hospital
Maternale, one may see sixty new
born babies In ward and not hear
a peep from any of them. All day
long there will be the silence of the
grave in that ward, broken only by
a queer little gurgling noise when a
baby wakes up and Is hungry. Science
has been able to guard the earliest
hours of the child's life so that it feels
nc pain. These babies do not cry I'M
til they are old enough to have ideas
they wish to express. Then they
don't cry, but call. The age at which
this happens depends upon the in
dividual."

Actress Brings Suit to Test
Validity of Income Tax Law

CHICAGO, Ill.,. Dec. 4.-Miss Elsie
De Wolfe, the former actress, who is
legal resident of New York State,
but OF present living at Versailles,
France, has filed n suit in the
United States District Court here
against the Continental and CONNER
cial Trust and Savings Bank, in
which the constitutionality of the
Federal income tax law is attacked
Miss De Wolfe, through her coun-
sci, W.. Bourke Cochran, states that
on December l. 1919 she presented to
the Continental Bank thirty interest
coupons for $25 each. due that day.
which she had cut from thirty bonds
of the Appalachian Power Company,
valued at $4,000. and asked that the
interest be paid.
The bank officials, Miss De Wolfe
states. request her to sign certifi-
cate designated by the government,
in which she was to state whether or
not she claimed exemption from the
income tax law. Miss De Wolfe re-
fused to sign the certificate and as
result the bank refused to pay the
interest or to accept the coupons.

CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF FIGS
1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is WELL
founded. Their tender little 'insides"
are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing give only dell
cious California Syrup OF Figs Its
action is positive, but gentle. Mill
ions of mothers keep this harmless
fruit laxative" handy; they know
children love to take it; that it never
fails to clean the liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and that tea
spoonful given today saves a sick
child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for 50-cent bot
tile of California Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children OF all ages and for grown
ups plainly on each bottle. Beware Of
counterfeits sold here. See that 1t
is made by California Fig Syrup
Company" Refuse any other kind
with contempt.

sori explained with a smile, has no
connection with her method. which
does not begin until the child is two
and a half or three years Old. The
discourse upon modern hospitals was
prompted by the quest on, do you
eliminate all punishments from your
schools?"
MY method" she said. docs away
with the necessity of punishment. be-
cause children happily employed do
not need punishment. Children are
what we call bad only because there
has been some fault in their training
or in their environment. Because the
world is not perfect yet there will be
children whose actions are not in har-
mony with the community in which
they live. These children sometimes
must be restrained from doing things
contrary to the general good, but GER
tainly they must never be beaten.
1.-The whole underlying theory of my
method is that the natural instinct
of the child is right. 1t is by study
ing the child while it is yet very
young. before its mind has been
warped and distorted by wrong con-
ditions. that we learn its natural pro-
cess of development. In the Casa del
Bambini we do not teach the child,
we study it, and merely help it to
find itself.
up to the present time the method
has been developed only as far as the
seventh year. A few experiments
