Baby Of Future
is Considered

Much thought has been given in late
years to the subject Of maternity In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
in the towns and villages must prefer
them. And since this is true we know
from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers
Friend is a great help to expectant
mothers. They write Of the wonderful
relief, how 1t seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what splendid influence 1t was on
the nervous system. Such helps as
Mothers Friend and the broader
knowledge of them should have helpful
influence upon babies Of the future
Science says that an infant derives its
sense and builds it's character from
cutane0us impressions. And tranquil
mother certainly will transmit a more
healthful influence than If she Is ex-
tremely nervous from undue pain. This
is what host of Nomen believe who
used Mothers Friend"

planned in a little book mailed free.

ONE BLESSING THAT'S COME
At Least the Production Of Hooks and
Eyes Has Been curtalIed by the
War in Europe.

AS one result of the war the produc.
ton of hooks and eyes has suddenly
been stopped, or largely curtailed, and
1t is reported that the entire supply
of these small but extremely signif.
cant commodities has been bought
up" Thus there is an immediate fam
Inc in that line, with the accompanying
certainty Of prohibitive prices.
In some way the outlook thus pro
duced may seem somewhat appalling.
Upon hooks and eyes, In present condt
tions, hangs the whole stability Of fem.
mime fashion, and the decorum OF cEvi
lization is largely dependent upon
them. And yet this news Of the sud.
den corner in the hook-and-eye market
will undoubtedly be received by thou
sands Of men with subdued chucklea
Of mirth and qualification.
Among the masculine portion Of so
ciety this is far from being q matter
to inspire gloom. The process OF
hooking up" l. e., effectIng an accu.
rate conjunction between sixty-fouE
minute hooks and their corresponding
eyes--has driven many thousands OF
respectable and harassed citizens in
the past few years to the verge OF ner-
vous prostration. The amount Of pro
family 1t has inspired in men Of hith-
erto unblemished character and habit
is nothing short Of deplorable.
Honest and peaceable men have been
rendered desperate. and very likely tbs
undermining influences OF hooks and
eyes have been one Of the chief con.
tributory causes for the increase Of d.
vorce and the disruption Of happy
homes. Here seems an apt illustra'
tion OF the saying that good may come
out Of evil. The shortage OF hooks and
eyes may very well bring about q
least partial return of domestic tran
quillity.

Since this is one of the ingredi-

Of the success attending the wide

A Girls Flight In a Zeppelin


In the November Strand Magazine,
Fraulein Hanna Rion yer Beck de-
scribes her trip in Zeppelin. The
passenger-cabin, she says, is perfectly
charming. 1t must have been planned
BY an artist and sage, for it gives
cne the instant sense Of safety and
igaiety.. The color scheme is a
strange, inharmonious harmony of old
rose and crimson. it is as wide as
railway coach and has comfortably
cushioned red wicker chairs placed
along it's wide windows.
On the outside of one of its red
doors is layatory with every modern
convenience except a bath; on the
outer side of the other doris is located
the buffet, with its stock OF wines
and cold delicacies. From here we
proceeded down the long interior alu-
minum ribbed alley to the captains
compartment basket. Here is the
steering gear proper, the compass,
the barometer, the apparatus which
registers the altitude, the aluminium
signal flags, the telegraph switch
board, large motor, and many levers.
There are located at several parts
of the shi three ballast bags Of wa
ter, each weighing about 1,4OO English
pounds. By touching levers in the
captains basket, any one Of these
bags can be opened instantly and the
water let out to lrghten the ship to
the degree desired.
The outer covering of the entire
balloon section is made Of a mixed
material of silk and linen, and at ev-
cry eighth meter there is band of
aluminium extending around the sides
like the rungs of barrel-these are
the ribs of the shiy.
There are 18 separate balloons, du-
plicates of thewrithing bladder on The
floor, each balloon holding 10000
cubic meters Of gas.
The usual height maintained for
service is about 900 to 700
feet (this is to enable the passengers
to see more clearly the details Of
earth), but the ''viktoria Luiae" has
flown TO an altitude Of from 1000 to
5000 feet.
The revolutions of the motors are
1900 per minute, those of the pro
peiIers from $50 to 500 per minute.
The average speed of the ship for
service is from 40 to so
miles an hour.

Washington Approves Admiravs Plan
Of Demanding Full PREPARATION
for Arrest Of Marines.

Washington, April 13.--It was said
here by administration officials that
Rear Admiral Mayo at Tampico will
be allowed, with the full approval Of
Mr.. Wilson, to carry out his own pro.
gram in demanding reparation for the
arrest of United States marines by
a Huerta official last Friday.
The apology made by Huerta Fri
day night has not been accepted by
the United States as full reparation
for the indignities heaped upon the
American government
No official will deny that Admiral
Mayo may open fire with his big
guns. They assert that full redress
will be obtained.
1t was believed the incident had
been closed because of the profuse
apology President Huerta made to
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge at Mexico City, but it was
learned that this was not true.
Secretary Bryan, acting under In.
structions from President Wilson,
sent a note to O'Shaughnessy, in.
structing him to inform Huerta that
the United States, owing to Easter
Sunday being fiesta day in Mexico,
would give Huerta until Monday night
in which to make a thorough investi.
cation and full PREPARATION for the &C.
finn 0f hie c11hNr1inofoc
Huerta Must Apologize.
O'Shaughnessy was instructed also
to inform Huerta that only his apology
for the overt act prevented Rear Ad.
miral Mayo from carrying out his
threat to lombard Tampico at 6
o'clock Saturday night, the original
time limit given by the admiral for
compliance with his demands.
At the same time telegram went
to Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz li-
recting him to inform Mayo that the
American government approved in
every detail his action of Friday and
would support him to the fullest de.
gree in carrying out his ultimatum to
General Zarago Zaragoza, the COM
mander at Tampico
Huerta has been informed by
Charge O'Shaughnessy of these de-
tails and notified that the United
States, having reached the limit of
patience, he would have to act prompt
~ to prevent Rear Admiral Mayo from
carrying out his plan.
AS a result of the delay granted,
Admiral Fletcher, at Vera Cruz, has
his guns all shotted and his forces
prepared for immediate landing in
that city. Admiral Mayo has made
the same preparation at Tampico.
