IAREE ORPHANS
 IN BAD PLIGHT
Mother an Invalid, and Homes Are Sought for
 Trio of Girls.

She's only 8, and homeless. And as she gazes wistfully at you with eyes peeplnS from pretty face, sheltered by a mass of golden hair, there's a desire to pick her up and hug her close that no harm should ever be- fall.
 Little Hattie, for that's the name of the little one, is seeking some one who will love her and whom she can love hard all the time" There must be a home somewhere that would be happier for the batter of little feet and the prattle of a childish tongue. That place is the one Hattie is seek ing. Mattie is as good as she is pret- ty. Possessed of a quiet disposition, she is obedient and ight-altoge geth- CT lovable child
 Her story and that of her sisters, is not pleasant one. Her mother is a widow and an invalid, who has just emerged from hospital where she submitted to "a surgical operation
 ranged for by the Associated Chari- ties. The mother and her five chil- dren were in a sad plight when dis covered by the Charities. The six were entirely dependent upon the earnings of the oldest child, "a boy of 16 who is working at slave mill
 The mother needs as much care as the small children, and it has been arranged that the boy has proved him self the support of the family, and the oldest girl, aged 12, shall re- main with the mother.
 Little Hattie, her baby sister, Clara Marie, 9 months of age, and another sister. Mary, aged [, are unlikely to have the opportunities for receiving and bestowing happiness unless there is extended them Christian consid- eration.
 The baby is now being cared for but the possessor is undecided wheth- CT she will be able to keep the in fant. The home in the country is sought for the 7year-old girl. Matitie will go anywhere, relying confidently upon the officials of the juvenile court to send her nowhere that she will not be treated right.
 Hattie must find some one to love her soon. for her heart is yearning for people she may call her own Mary is vivacious, willing and bright. The baby gives indication of being as pretty and intelligent as any.
 If you are one of the many who feel you'd be happier by doing a kindness for "a child and for having one with you, call at the juvenile court headquarters or telephone 1860.

DIVORCE PROBLEM BEFORE CHURCHMEN Presbyterian Assembly Re fers Report on Question
 Back to Committee.
EVANGELISTIC WORK
Many Institutes Conducted During Year. Assembly FayOrS Fair Re- turn for Wage Farmer. Rest
 on Seventh Day.

Chicago, May 22.-The marriage and divorce problems had the right of way this afternoon at the Presbyter- ian general assembly,
 The report of the committee on Christian life and work was given by Dr. John Timothy Stone. That part of the report which referred to mar riage and divorce stirred up lively discussiCn.
 The report recommended that a campaign of education, with a view to procuring improved legislation, be carried on through the churches" and that the general assembly approve the incorporation in new code the re- quirements of two years residence in the state and the decree of divorce not to 20 into effect until one year after being granted.
 In addition to this the report recom- mented that if divorced parties go into another state for re-marriage and thus evade the law of the state where the decree was granted, that such a marriage shall be considered null and void if they return to the former state."
 As result of the debate the reeom- mendations on divorce were referred back to the committee for further con sideration.
 Another important subject came up in the report on Christian faith and service. This was a joint report that had been considered by the four great branches of the Presbyterian church..
 The Rev. Dr. Gunner F. Bryan of Chicago read the recommendation of the committee, which, among other things, urged that the church should encourage all voluntary organizations for the betterment of social conditions, in them.
 The report also favored a fair re- turn for labor to the wage earner suf- icient to support the man and his family. Conditions are favored that are safe and healthy and give an opportunity to provide against illness, and old age and relief from labor of one day in seven.
 Evangelstic Work. The report of the permanent com mittee on evangelism was the princi- pal subject considered by the dele gates to the one hundred and twenty sixth general assembly of the Presby- terian church (northern) at the morn- ing session. Chairman Chas.~ ~L. Illus ton of the committee ill presenting the report said that in mo single year for a decade have our churches en- gagged in a more earnest and wide spread evangelstic work than in the period which this yaer's report re- views" The report showed 147 con- ferences and institutes on evangelism had been held and $10,199 had been expended on the work. The general assembly was asked to authorize the appointment of J. Wilbur Chapman, the evangelist, as representative. at large and to appoint such special evangelistic representatives as are necessary.
 An appeal for the old style evan gelism was made by Dr. Joseph R.. Davies of Philadelphia, who declared that there never was time when positive preaching was more needed than now"

 No Session Monday.
 Canadians are preparing to cele- brate Victoria day on next Monday The anniversary falls on Sunday, and for this reason Monday will be na- tional holiday in the dominion. It is understood that the mediators will hold no conferences on that day.
 Washington, May 22-A lengthy telegraphic conference between Pres% ident Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan and the American representa- tives. at the mediation conference at Niagara Falls was held today. There was also long conference between Mr. Bryan and the Washington repre-. sentatives of the constitutionalists.
 On information obtained at the con- clusion of these conferences, it can be stated that the situation tonight is as follows:
 First, it was impressed upon the American representatives today that President Wilson accepted suggested mediation on the condition that it should be entered into by all the fac- tions in Mexico. The A. B. c. medi- ators will therefore, formally renew delegates to the peace conferences.
 Second, an understanding has been reached between the state department and Carranza, and the latter will ac- cept the invitation without agreement to an armistice with Huerta.
 Third, Carranza, in return, asks the United States to aid him in ob- taining from Great Britain and the other European powers recognition as the de facto government of Mexico as soon as he captures the capital.
 Fourth, so far as this government is concerned, it has no objection to Carranza personally being recognized, for a time at least, as the de facto head of the republic.
 It appears, therefore, that Carranza will participate in the mediation pro- ceedings looking to the pacification of Mexico and that he will be established, by agreement with the United States, as the temporary ruler of Mexico un- til the plans can be worked out in Ni- agara Falls to provide for a president elected by the people.
 The concern which Carranza shows about recognition of his position by Great Britain can be attributed direct ly to his fear that the English govern ment may take sharp measures against him for the murder of Will liam Benton, British subject, some months ago.
 Diplomats in Washington are agreed that it is the immediate duty of the A. B. c. mediators, unless they want the conferences to come to an early end for lacAio something to do, to urge Carranza to take part in the proceedingsg9h

Washington.-The Shackleford bill,
under which the government will dis
tribute $25,00O.OO0 for good roads
among the states, conditioned upon a
dollar for dollar appropriation by each
state was passed by the House by a
vote of 1882 to AZ.
Its passage followed several days OF
debate, during which most of the
hundred and more speakers advocated
the project in the interest of the farm
ers. while minority attacked the pro-
1ect as dangerous opening wedge
for heavy future inroads on the treas
ury.
Democratic Leader Underwood, Re-
publican Leader Mann and Represen-
tative Hinebaugh of Illinois, the rank
Ing Progressive, all voted for the
measure. Representative Mann said
that the cities could well afford from
their wealth to contribute taxes to aid
the country in construction of roads

RIBBONS ON ALL
OF THE LATEST
LINGERIE DESIGNS

THOSE whose business it is to think
! up pretty designs in lingerie, ap.
pear to have no mental pictures of
garments in which ribbons are left
out. All the lacy and dainty made
undermuslins shown for spring are
constructed to carry ribbons. not
alone for decoration, but for fastening
and holding the garments in place.
For simple decoration. bows of all
sorts with and without ends Of baby
ribbon and Of wider ribbons, are made
separately and pinned on with small
safety pins. Narrow ribbon rosettes
and bows are sewed to place with a
few easily removed stitches. They
are not supposed to need laundering
as often as the body Of the garment
and are therefore removable.
A new design for a nightgown is
shown here. having a yoke made of
alternating rows of Val lace and Swiss
embroidery in narrow insertions. It
is set onto the body Of the gown with
band Of embroidery. The fulness in
the body Of the gown is laid in very

is panel Of wide embroidery at each
side set In with embroidery insertion
The same wide embroidery appears
on the top OF the bell sleeves.
The neck and sleeves are finished
with Val edging an inch and a half
wide. A ribbon bow appears on each
sleeve. at the end of each panel and
at the neck. That one at the neck
is made by the ends OF ribbon run in
beading to adjust the gown to the
figure.
Nainsook or lawnsdale cambric or

these gowns. Seams are felled and
as a rule laces and insertions stitched

PREDICTS RICHES IN OIL
OUTSIDE CAPITAL DEVELOPING
NEW PROSPECTS.
Colorado State Inspector Expects In
tsrestIns Opening in Falcon Dis
trlct as Result Of Drilling.
w..tern Newspaper Union New. Service.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Heavy development of Col
orado oil fields will be witnessed in
the near future, according to the an
nual report of James Duce. state oil
inspector, which he has submitted to
Governor Ammons. He says there is
evidence that the tide of capital, which
has overlooked that form of invest
ment in this state, is now turning.
colorado has several oil districts
that it would well repay the capitalist
to develop, and we understand that ne
gotiations are pending with this in
view in several of the districts" the
report reads.
Until recently. while money was
freely invested in the prospecting for
oil in other states. Colorado's great
opportunities were being overlooked.
However, there appears to be evidence
that the tide is turning toward this
state, and the near future will see
much more active operations carried
out in this line"
The Falcon field in Ell Paso county,
he reports, is being prospected by
Eastern capitalists, and he remarks
that interesting developments can be
looked for" Other fields in which
work is being done are at Aurora, near
Denver; Weld county, Mesa county,
Delta county, La Animas county and
in the San Luis valley. Drilling is be-
ing continued in the Rangeley field,
and the inspector believes that "as
soon as transportation lines are avail
able it will doubtless become a
shipper
Twelve changes in the present oil
inspection law are recommended by
him, among which is one designed to
prevent the waste of gas from gas
producing wells which are not now be-
ing used for beneficial purposes.
He says that in Mesa county 250,000
cubic feet Of Illuminating gas escapes
In every twenty-four hours from one
well and that in Boulder county from
100000 to 100000 cubic feet of gas es-
cape DUNG every twenty-four ours.
He would make it compulsory for
owners to put caps on such wells, in
order that the gas be retained for fu-
ture use.
During 1913 approximately 5,767,000
gallons Of crude oil were produced in
Colorado. The department inspected
92,193,600 gallons of refined oil. The
state will realize a profit from the
office for the first time since it was
created. The amount of revenue to
the government for the year will be
1914, which is the profit above the
expenses of collection. The amount
formerly went into the pockets of the
chief inspector.
The Florence fields are credited
with the greater part of the production
for 1913. They produced 5.444,451 gal
Ions Of crude oil. The Boulder district
produced 322,949 gallons.
Other recommendations OF changes
in the present law are for the preven-
tion of the promotion of wildcat oil
schemes. for the prevention of oil es-
Gaping into coal mines seams and for
the protection of purchasers of lubri-
eating oils against fraud.
