SOMETHING NEW FOR BABIES
Better Babies. "

What an optimistic. captivating sound those two words have!
 And the best part of it is that they stand for all that their sound suggests, one of the big interest ing, vital ideas of the hour, the Better Babies movement.
 It started with the idea of making the old-fashioned baby show a bit more satisfactory by having babies examined for phy- sical perfection instead of dimp- les, golden ringlets and peaches and-cream skins. Then a maga- zine whose editors love babies saw the possibility of turning this new kind of baby show into a fine broad campaign for mak- ing babies better. And out of it grew the Better Baby Con- test.
 A Better Baby Contest is a scientific examination of children three years of age or under, for physical and mental develop ment, and the awarding of prizes to those who deserve them, on grounds of good, all-around de- velopment, Good looks, infan- tile beauty count only for what they are really worth in baby's health and growth, while many more important things count a great deal more.
 A fine, healthy, well developed daby may score one thousand points according to the Better Ba- bies Standard Score Card by which all babies are tested. These points are divided as fol- lows: Two hundred for mental and developmental tests, which proves whether baby takes proper notice of: what goes on around him, walks, sits up and speaks properly and shows a mental growth to correspond to his age, One hundred points for weight and measurements which proves whether baby is well-pro-- portioned for his age. Five hun dred for physical development, sturdy bones, firm flesh, smooth skin, good digestion, circulation and respiration. One hundred and fifteen for mouth and teeth. Eighty. ye for eye, ear, nose

C0CONINO COUNTY WILL
 BUILD ITS OWN ROADS

On the 3rd of Nov. the taxpayer of Coconino County will be called upon to vote bonds to the amount of $5, 100000 for the purpose of constructing 'State Highways throughout the state.
 This proposition of Lamar Cobb, state engineer, looks attractive on its face, but each tax payer should give it consideration before voting in favor oft. By glancing at the proposition the figures will show that all the counties are not going to benefit alike by the proposed bond issue and leads to the conclu- sion that it would be preferable to allow the counties to issue their own bonds is done elsewhere for this will permit a nore equitable distribution of the proceeds. The proposed amendment to the consti- tuition of the state by which the state assumes an indebtedness of over $11, ,OOO, GOO for the purpose Of constructing approximately 1850 miles of state roads, is matter of deep concern. The approximate average costs per mile is S7, 200. The location of the roads have been arbitrarily laid out and the tax payers have had and will not have any voice as to where the roads will be located or when they will be constructed. The only promise made is that they will be constructed as soon as it is possible to get at them, but when that will be is not known.
 A joker in this constitutional amendment is the abolition of any and all rights vested in the board of supervisors by prior acts in so far as the indebtedness is concerned, absolute and supreme are the rights vested in the board of control and the state engineer in the apportioning and disburs- ing of 5000, 900, the location, relocation and constructor of the proposed 1850 miles of state roads. By the new law each county is to have an engineer who will have supervision of the construction of the roads within his county. He will be selectd by the board of supervisors for his qualifications and fitness for the position. He will know the character of the soil and the topography of the country with which he has to deal and should be better qualified to build coun- ty roads than some one who is not familiar with the conditions.
 Only 75 per cent of the total amount raised by the bond issue in this county will be spent with in the county, and 25 per cent will have to be turned over to- the state to spend elsewhere.
 In previous years Coconino County paid into the state treas urer the sum of 38, 827.25 for the. purpose of building state roads and received in return just 8 per cent of the above amount, while Yavapai County received in return 220 Fer cent of the amount it paid in for the same purpose. The tax payers of this county will and should be against the bond issue if for no other reason than the way she has been treated in the past.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as we'll refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The
bowels must be kept active. This is
important at all ages, but never so
much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natur-
al tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS; April ,
The last day OF the month Of NarCt!
is an annual feast day with a very
large part. of the officers Of the line
of the L. S. army by virtue CT its be-
ing the termination OF garrison school
for junior officers. This course Gov
ers a period of four years, and en-
braces a preliminary course Of study
for officers serving in their first year
and a finishing course Of three years
for all other officers. The winter pc
riod, from Nov. list TO March 3lSt, is
devoted to this theoretical instruction,
which covers practically everything
pertaining to the elementary instruc-
ton of an officer in his duties. Guard
duty, drill regulations, company ad-
ministratiCn. military law, eQuitatiOn,
military hygiene, engineering. interRa-
tional law, firing regulations, sketch
ing, map-reading. and field service
regulations comprise some of the sub
jects in which all officers are requir-
ed to become proficient
Certificates of proficiency are
awarded following an examination in
each subject in which all are required
to obtain a minimum mark Of 70 per
cent
The last examination occurred Mar.
31st, hence the sacred character Of
this date in tka eyes CT the army's
younger officers, until the coveted Ger
tificates of proficiency in all subjects
have been won. In case of failure,
JoS SC, hxy NM 11O O
unfortunate is reported to thu war de-
partment in~Washington, and has the
pleasure of taking the subject in the
next term until he qualities.
In case Of the adoption OF new drill
regulations, all officers below The
grade of major are required to pass an
examination in the new book. This
has but recently occurred in all of the
branches of the mobile army stationed
at Schofield Barracks, namely, tie
Cavalry, Artillery and Infantry.
The officers of the Infantry and Ar
tfllery had their examinations two
weeks ago, and the Cavalry officers
took their examination March 21st.
AS a result of these examinations,
seven heutenants failed to qualify and
will be required to undergo a re-eXam-
ination. These were divided among
the regiments, two in the LIST infantry,
two in the Artillery, and three in the
Cavalry.
The present system of garrison the
cretical instruction for officers was
laid down during the tenure Of the
war secretaryship by Elihu Root, and
while it enjoys but little popularity
with younger officers, it is nevertba >
less largely responsible for the pres
ent highly efficient state of the small
regular army of the United States.

from the North, where he had spent sew

AN OAK LEAF RUNNER.

A most effective table runner is made
by embroidering golden oak leaves on a
ground of green linen or denim. The
linen or denim should be very heavy
and quite dark in shade. About the edge
hemstitch a two-inch hem. A quarter
inch in from the hemstitching embroider
a border of oak leaves, in natural size.
about the four sides Old gold silk or
mercerized thread should be used. Work
in from the edge Of the leaves with a
long -and-short stitch. This will sub
stantiaIly outline the form Of the leaf.
Outline the veins in the gold silk. The
flled-in, highly padded leaf is beautiful
indeed. but the oak leaf is SO large that
1t would take an almost endless time to
SO embroider the design. Any art needle
work store should be able to stamp the
runner. Cushions of the same color and
design as the runner for the library
davenport will pleasantly carry out the
note introduced by the runner on the
library table. II brown is the color
scheme of the library, the golden oak
leaves may be almost as effectively em-
broidered upon denim or linen in very
dark shade Of brown.

HEMSTITCHED NECK
FRILL IS PRETTY
Has Distinctive Air that Is Not Found
in Those of the Shops.

The neck frill may be as long or as
wide as you please. The size really de-
pends upon the person who Is to wear the
frill. When finished. the style will much
resemble the pleated running that can be
bought at the frill counters in the stores.
but there will be little exclusive air about
It in which the conservative woman will
rejoice.
From sheer handkerchief linen cut a
strip along the straight of the goods,
and pull the threads for the hemstitching
along its edge suficiently high up to al
low for a quarter-inch or half-inch hem.
The frill Is to be pleated. which means
that the strip should be cut three times
as long as one desires the frill to be when
finished. 1t may be pieced in one or more
places, for the frill is to be laid in quar-
ter-inch pleats, and the seams may be
easily concealed under the pleats.
After the strip is hemstitched along the
edge and at the two ends, baste II into
auarter-inch pleats. Place a narrow
binding along the top edge, which edge,
Of course. has no hemstitching. after the
pleats are basted into place. Each pleat
should be carefully measured and basted
up and down its center from edge to edge
Of the frill before the heading Is put on
After the heading is stitched. press the
whole frill with fairly hot iron. The
oastings may De drawn out. for the pleats
have been pressed into place. Pass the
iron again over the frill to erase the
marks left by the hastings. Shake the
frill out gently to take the appearance
Of nat stiffness away. and II is ready for
wear.
Frills Of this kind sell for high prices
in the most exclusive shops. They are
worn by young and old alike. and are
sure to make a welcome accessory to the
wardrobe. Somewhat narrower rufies
can very appropriately be used for the
wrists. They are made exactly in the
fashion n the neck friIl, with the excep-
tion Of the difference in width and
length. The narrowest Of handmade
edges can be used on the edge OF these
frills. bot anything less than handmade
or any other than the narrowest OF edges
will rob the frills of the exclusive air we
have worked SO hard to obtain. The plain
rune is preferable to a fussy or machine
made edge.
