You do quite right to refuse help
from this young man. A man seldom
gives a young woman financial help
without expecting full value in re-
turn, and when the woman feels IN
der obligations to him she is apt to
do things that are wrong.
You can get divorce from your
husband for non-support should
think. AS long as he has deserted
you, it would be best to be free from
him. / do not think the law would
give the little girls to their father II
you can show that he has never pro-
vided for them and has willfully left
them for you to support.

When the waves of the ocean are
one-half the length of the ship and
one-twentieth of the length in height
tie stress upon the ship itself is very
water. But when the waves are the
same length as the ship, or one and
one-half times its length, the stresses
are considerable higher than when the
ship is in smooth water. Hefice, in
view of the fact that waves are sell
dom over 500 feet long. the maximum
bending moments which come upon
ship 900 feet long are much less
than those which come upon one 500
feet long.

DO you know" said one little girl,
as she looked up at the robins nest,
81 think those baby robins must be
awfully thirsty. I'VE don't have any
rain and they don't get drop OF
water
The other little girl carefully ex-
examined the robin babies as they
peered over the edge of the nest.
Ell tell you what let's do" she said
gaily, let's sprinkle them with the
hose-they'll be so glad, l knowP
ooh you always do have the finest
ideasl' exclaimed the youngest little
girl proudly; lets get the hose
quick!"
They ran to the front yard,
dragged back the hose and turned on
the water.
1--WE might hurt the nest if we
turn it on too strong" said the old
est little girl thoughtfuly, Tets turn
it high up into the tree and let 1t
come down like rain on the nest"
So they did.
Down through the old apple tree
trickled the clear cold waterdrops
much to the amazement of the baby
robins.
Now at that very minute the most
venturesome of the four baby robins
decided he wanted to see the world
on which the sun shone so brightly.
So he climbed up into the edge of
the nest just as the hose-rain-storm
began.
He gave one cry of fright, then
summoned all his courage and flew
away-away over into the garden.
The three little birds who were
left twittered and called for their
mother so beseechingly that she
heard them clear over in the next
door yard and came flying to see
what the matter could be.
AS she neared the tree she noticed
the waterdrops For an instant she
rested on the edge of the nest.
ooh mother" shouted one little
bird, the sun was shining SO nice
