Mexican Pottery.-One Of the prin-
cipal manufactures of Mexico, ranked
third in extent and importance a few
years ago, is pottery. 1t is made in
every section of the republic; every
city and community has it's pottery
settlement, it's pottery workers, train
ed to the making Of pottery and moth
ing else for generations, and more in
teresting still, each section has it's dis
tinctive product. The shapes and
glazes and decorations belong to GER
tain regions. and one who has a col
lection of Mexican pottery a locate
every piece as certainly as the owner
Of Delft or Wedgwood or Sewers. The
difference in color is, Of course, usual
ly due to the difference in the clays.
but the decorations and often shapes
seem to be hereditary. Mexican pot
terry is all soft" No fine porcelain
is made by the native manufacturers,
and much of it is unglaZed and some
Of 1t only sun baked.

The Rock Of Gibraltar.-The rock of
Gibraltar taking into consideration
the far-reaching guns that are now
being cast, will be even Of greater i'm
portance because Of its commanding
position at the mouth Of the Mediter-
ranean, where that sea is little more
than 20 miles wide-about as wide as
from Calais to Dover. Gibraltar was
captured by the British July "a, 1904,
and from that day has not been out of
British hands. AT first little was
thought Of the importance Of this
stronghold. For the succeeding nine
years the Spaniards made repeated
attempts to re-capture it. On one oc-
casion they nearly succeeded. A French
and Spanish force having been collect
ed on the isthmus that joins the rock
to the mainlend. a goatherder offered to
show them a path up the sloping sides
of the rock, which he had "a to
believe was unknown to the British.
This offer was accepted. Five hun
dred troops assembled quietly one
night and took shelter in a hollow
called by the Spaniards "the little
chair" At daybreak next morning
they assembled higher, took the signal
station. killing the guard and anxi-
ously looked for expected reinforce
ments. The re-inforcements failed to
arrive. The armed garrison sailed out
and drove the invaders down the rock,
"The little chair va filed up and the
place made stronger than ever. All
subsequent Attempts to capture the
rock have failed. One Of them was a
siege by Spain and France, beginning
in 177s and not terminating until
September, 17S3.-Chicago Journal.

Tho Wild Turkey.-Among the birds
that are now disappearing from the
United States and oon to be classed
with the extinct passenger pigeon Is
the wild turkey, a bird that attracted
high praise from Audubon and from
Benjamin Franklin; from the first for
its iridescent %brilIiancy Of plumage and
from the other because Of the delicacy
Of its flesh.
No great number Of years ago. be-
fore the forests had given way to open
fields. wild turkeys were abundant in
Indiana, 80 much so that various places
in the state received names testifying
to that fact, says the Indianapolis
News. Among these are an island In
the lower Wabash called Turkey Is
land, and a stream called Turkey run.
The wild turkey is about 81 feet long
and weighs Is to 20 pounds. The plum
age Of the male-the female is of more
somber colors-is copper bronze, with
green and metallic reflections, the
iCdtiCio mall iitCu Will DidSh' Inc
tail feathers are chestnut, barred with
black and tipped with q wide bar and
a companion bar Of white.
How this bird, the largest Of the
gallinaceous family on this continent,
came to be called turkey is un-
known. It is a native Of the western
hemisphere and was introduced into
Europe by the Spaniards. It was
first described by Oviedo in 1927, who
speaks Of 1t as having been taken from
Mexico to the neighboring island Of
Cuba and there domesticated. 1t was
carried to England early in the six
teenth century and has been domesti-
Gated nearly all over the civilized
world, but the domestic bird has, 1t Is
said, degenerated from its prototype in
size, beauty and delicacy.

Very few men are towards, yet some

Arc Leading Factors.
Six hundred bachelors, some young
and some pretty old, spent their
luncheon hour the other day receiv-
ing "~fatherly" advice from Prof. Win
field s.. Hall, Of Northwestern Uni
versity, medical school on Choosing
a Wife" says Tit-Bits.
II don't see any bald heads In the
audience" said DR.. Hill, 80 I take 1t
for granted you all are good candi-
dates for marriage. BY that I mean
you have sound health, are morally
clean and can support a wife II you
can win one.
Imagine the girls Of your acquaint-
anceship lined up before you. Out Of
the possible six to twenty girls you
are to choose a wife. Which one will
you choose?
-Four things must be considered
her health. her hereditary qualities,
her education and her age. Exclude
from the ranks the girl Of poor health.
It's a calamity for a man to marry
such a girl. Some Of you may say the
girl might get well. Let her get bet
ter before you marry her.
Let her go into the woods for a
year or so and develop the ability to
walk Is or 20 miles and return with
out fatigue and with Dame Natures
priceless rouge upon her cheeks. Then
you may marry her, knowing she is
Of good health.
Don't marry a girl just because she
has a pretty figure and large, lustrous
eyes and is a beautiful dancer, If at
20 she has only the mind Of a girl ~
years DID,
Among other suggestions he gave
to the man considering choosing a
wife we're:
Don't marry an heiress. You may be-
come unhappy with her and her
money.
Don't marry into a family where
there are traces Of insanity or feeble
mindedness.
Look up the health record Of her
parents and grandparents.
Avoid the daughter Of a confirmed
alcoholic.
When he came to the part Of lee
ture referring to the ages of marriages
he turned to the blackboard, wrote
down some figures and said:
According to the best scientific re-
search the figures on the board show
the relative ages at which men and
women should marry"
Here is the table as he wrote it:
A man Of 81 should marry a girl
between 10 and % years.

FALSE ECONOMY

It is an old saying that Clothes don't make the
man" and quite true is this saying-but YOU would
give quicker attention and more consideration to the
we'll dressed man than you would to the man who IS
careless of his clothes-especially if the wearer were a
stranger. Wouldn't YOU? Yes. Well, Good Print
ed Stationery, Booklets, etc, do not make a good, re-
liable merchant, a banker or other safe business man
but o know that YOU-unconsciously possibly
notice the difference in the quality of the printed matter
that passes through your hands. If a letter 0 re-
ceive is written on a poor quality OF paper and carries
a cheap looking printed heading YOU-unconsciously
possibly-put it down in your mind that the writer is
on a par with his stationery and 0 think OF him just
that way. Well, if this be true then what does the
OTHER FELLOW think of 0 when YOUR sta
tionery is of the cheap, shoddy looking kind? Forms
the same kind of opinion of YOU that YOU would
form of HIM.
What kind of stationery do YOU use? Is it the
kind that leaves a bad taste or the kind that commands
attention by its very appearance-its Quality, II you
please? The better kind costs a little more-it's worth
more because it gets more-but a red. stamp will carry
either kind. If YOU want YOUR stationery to COM
mand attention use the BEST-it will pay YOU for its
COST. Use the kind that YOU will get at The En-
quirer Office. We insist on all Our work being lust
AS Good AS Your Money Will Buy" If YOU are sat

course we do not expect to get your orders-But WE

A rubber stamp will satisfy some people, while
others are satisfied with anything that comes out OF a

DOCTOR TO ALLOW DEFoRMED
BABY TO DIE


Out at German-American hospital
is a baby five days old condemned to
death.
A great scientist has said the child
had better die. 1t is deformed. 1t is
hunch-backed, one-eared, and has
apparently defective eye and NAL
formed chest. The scientist when
the child, little girl, was born, look
ed once at it and quickly decided that
if allowed to live it would be an i'm
becile.
The scientist put the question up
to the mother and father, Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen Bolinger, 2013 Fletcher
ST. He told them that a simple oper-
alton would save the child's life. An
intestine is twisted and the stomach
cannot digest food, but he told them
what their baby had chance to be
if allowed to live, so they voted for
its death.
There will be no, execution. The
surgeon will simply not make the in
testinal operation and the child must,
therefore, soon die, within 48 hours,
it is expected.
'T am not afraid of the law" said
the doctor-Dr. H ]. Haiselden-one
of the city's most noted surgeons. Il
think l am doing right by the world.
The day book., 1915-11-17

If let this child grow it will be miser-
able and will bring misery into the
lives of Others"
The wonder of it all is that the
baby is not already dead. 1t seems to
live to spite the decree of science.
When sentence was pronounced upon
it it was said it could not live two
days. It has lived five days and
seems quite happy still, as it'kicks in
play its chubby feet and draws its
pink toes to its mouth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bollinger have four
growing, healthy children. They
have voted for death to their newest
child because science said it would be
of unsound mind, would be a care
and misery to them.
Science knows the little body is de-
formed, but the question being asked
is: Can science look into the future
and see what mind the wanting body
would shelter? Had science years
ago claimed death for every child
born as this one was, would there
have been a Robert Louis Stevenson
to enrapture and elevate the world
with his wonderful works of litera-
ture, and would there be a Wizard
Steinmetz to give the wonders OF
electrical invention that rival those OF
Edison.
Both of these great minds were
born deformed and crippled, SO that
they hardly looked like human
beings, and no one thought such
Wretched bodies could contain sound
minds.
