BETTER CONFERENCES
 FOR BETTER BABIES
Fair Association to Provide Inn
 proved Quarters for Little Ones

With the new building at their disposal and the installation of heat ing facilities, mothers who enter their babies in the Better Babies contest this year need not worry about undressing their children for examination
 Last year the lack of conveniences and the indictment weather which prevailed during fair week rendered the work of examination both diff cult and trying to all concerned. but this should be entirely eliminated this year in the new quarters pro vided by the fair commission
 The committee having this work in charge is especially desirous If having the babies examined last year entered in this years contest in order to observe the progress made during the year elapsed. Of course there will be a few children who have passed the age limit dur ing the intervening time, but all mothers are urged to re-enter their babies this year wherever possible.
 Unless they considered the work of importance and benefit it is scarcely to be conceived that the physicians. specialists and nurses who served so willingly last year under trying conditions without re- muneration would be glad to under take the work again this year.

STAGE LINES
 OPPOSE BOND
Inform Corporation Com mission No Fatal Acci- dents Have Occurred as Excuse for Demanding Indemnity Bond

w aether or not the companies Op- erating auto stage lines through the various parts of the state shall be compelled to provide an indemnity bond making them responsible in the collection of damages for the injury or death of any of their passengers, is the question which was taken up yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the state corporation commission Several weeks ago the commission issued an order calling on the com panies to file such bond and set ting December 1 as the time when the order should become effective A protest against the ruling was inn mediately filed by the various com panies and the latter were given a hearing yesterday.
 The auto owners contend that the order will be wholly unnecessary because of the fact that there has so far never been any fatal accidents during the time that the companies have operated Whether the com mission will uphold them in this contention and reverse their former decision remains to be seen.
 Another matter which was also considered at the meeting yesterday was the charge that the stage companies are in the habit of over loading their autos to a danger point, and also that they carry large amount of baggage, which tends to increase the dangers to the passengers.
 The stage operators claim that if they are prohibited from overload ing their vehicles they will be com pelled to quit business. as the regu- lar carrying capacity of the autos will not furnish sufficient revenue to warrant the stages being. oper- ated. The commission will render a decision on these matters in a couple of weeks.
