for her baby as Webber has done?
Suit dismissed" said the Supreme
court Justice.

Phelan has appealed.
Meantime the case serves to draw
attention to the most fragrant inius-
tice of man made laws. The fact that
It is ONLY THE MARRIED MOTHER
WHO EVER. HAS ANY DIFFICULTY
in establishing her rights to her child.
Little Elizabeth, born out of we'd
lock, belonged to her mother only.
Phelan had no rights to her. And
the mother chose to have her little
girl brought up by the man who had
thought enough Of her to give her his
name.
Even under Napoleon the unmar-
ried mother had all rights in her child.
Research into the paternity of an il
legitimate child was absolutely for
hidden by the Code Napoleon, and
until very few years ago this law
remained in full force in France. But
when Napoleon was asked to provide
equal guardianship over their chill
dren for married mothers he refused,
saying:
''ShaII ! give my apple tree right
to say what shall be done with the
apples it bears me2"
Napoleon expressed the old male
ideal of the married woman's posi-
ton. She was merely an apple tree,
bearing apples for her lord and own
er-the MAN!
In II states of our union today
woman still is denied equal guardian
ship over her children. She has the
legal status of Napoleon's apple tree
in Vermont, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Maryland, Delaware, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Florida, Georgia and Tennessee.
But women differ from apple trees
in one very important point which |
Napoleon and other gentlemen like
him fail to consider. They don't have |
to bear apples.
And more and more women every

Found In a Glacier.

Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding lost ak in the
Alps: Zurbiggen, one of the cele,
brated mountain climbers of the
world, in scaling a peak of Les An
GLASSES, near Chamounix, accidentally
let his ak fall near the summit of the
peak. 1t fell some thousands of feet.
In the normal course Of things 1t was
buried in snow and swallowed up in
the glacier, being covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hon. c. G. Bruce and
Harkbir, Sepoy chief, in descending
a peak Of the Alps just as night was
falling, and a great crevasse barred
the way, being unable to find the
bridge over 1t, cut path down to
t, bottom, where Harkbir stepped on
an ak which had M. z. Zurbiggen's mi.
tails on the handle. There could be
n, mistake as to the identity OF the
ak, as Harkbir had seen 1t and used
1t before.

Mysteries of Golf.

Josephus Daniels, secretary Of the
navy, was invited the other day to go
out and play golf.
Il can't play it," said Daniels; Il
made up my mind some time ago not
to go in for golf until they change the
rules"
How do you mean?"
well, until they change the rules
and make it as good a game as
shiny"
That recalls the tale they tell about
the time Franklin X. Lane, now secre-
tary of the interior, first undertook the
mastery of golf.
Two enthusiasts over the game lent
a large set of clubs to Lane and they
played a round. When they had
reached the last hole Lane walked
over to the nearest teeing place and
began attempts to drive off with each
club in his sack, one after another.
THE games all over" they ex-
planned, gently.
Well" asked Lane, picking up an
other kind of club, cant l play my
hand out?"-New York Sun.

MORE POTASH COMING.


American crops and soils are still as
hungry for Potash as before the out
break of the European War, which
curtailed the Potash shipments.
Some of the Fertilizer Companies
are trying to induce farmers to buy
the one-sided low Potash or no Potash
fertilizers Of a generation ago. This
means fertilizer that is profitable to
the manufacturer, but not the best for
the farmer. When the Syndicate in
1910 started the direct sales of Potash
to dealers and farmers at reasonable
prices, Potash sales increased IS per
cent. in one year, clear proof that
farmers know that Potash Pays. They
know that Potash gives good yields,
good quality and resistance to plant
diseases.
Many of the Fertilizer Manufacture
ers are willing to meet the farmers
wishes and sell him what he thinks he
needs. These manufacturers are now
willing to furnish as much Potash as
they can secure. They offer goods with
per cent, and even in some cases 10
per cent Potash, IL the farmers insist
on it.
Shipping conditions are improving,
more Potash is coming forward al
though the costs of production and
transportation are higher. The higher
price of fertilizers is not due wholly
to the slightly higher cost of Potash.
Much Of the Potash that will be used
in next springs fertilizer had reached
America before the war started.
There is no substitute for Potash.

NULLUs SUM.

John Rodemeyer, editor of the Connecticut Western News and the funniest man in Connecticut, now knows how Napoleon felt when he was forced to drink the bitter dregs of defeat at Waterloo.
 MT. Rodemeyer, as most newspaper readers know, is--or was-president of the Bald Head Club of America. But alas, it is an memorable rule of nature that everything mundane must perish. Nothing endures. And so it has come to pass that John Rodemeyer has been shorn of his glory. Various spikes of hirsute ap- bondage have appeared on his pol ished dome. When John saw the first hair he failed to become excited.
 It was a false alarm, he confidently told himself. But soon numerous other hairs and near-hairs began to join the family. As John cOnfesses he worked the edge off several razors and grit off reams of sandpaper but all to no avail Like the man who owns a garden the weeds grew in profusion over night.
 Worry over his plight has caused John night after night of sleepless- ness. Little by little and hair by hair, he saw his throne tottering. Finally he decided to give up the unequal fight. Where once was wont to glint the sun now stands field of hair whose advent was unwelcomed and unsung. It came not with the roll of drums, nor wat is heralded with the triumphant blast of bugles. Slowly, but surely, like the incoming tide, a crop of hair-persh the thought found root in John Rodemeyer's cranium the coronal and the lambda sutures.
 Let us draw the curtain on the last scene and leave to his lonely grief the Ex-president of the Bald Head Club of America. Yes, John Rodemeyer has resigned. Let the barbers re- joice.

Retired Army Officers.

Why is it, asks "The Washington Post" since the war departent is in need of additional officers, that advan- tage has not been taken of the provi- sion in the last army appropriation bill for the return to active service of off, cers who have been retired for dis ability, but who are now perfectly capable of performing active duty?
 At the last session of congress the war department prepared a bill which was introduced in the senate, provid- ing for 1000 additional officers, and on January 12 last the secretary of war appeared before the senate committee on military affairs and urged a favor able report upon the bill. Although no action was taken on this measure, a provision in the army appropriation act authorizes the president to restore any retired officer to the active list with the rank he would have attained had he remained in the service, such officer to be a supernumerary in his grade, so as not to affect the promo tion of those already in the service. Inasmuch as it is provided that only such retired officers shall be reinstated as can meet the regular mental and physical test required, there is no chance that any officer thus restored would prove unqualified.
 There are many officers who have been retired through no fault of their own, but because of the mistaken diagnosis of the board of medical of ficers who examined them. Others were retired because they suffered some temporary disability which is now removed. These men are in the prime of life, and their experience would be an asset to the nation. Their would be a real econ- omy, since they are drawing three quarters pay now for doing little or no service.
 Some twenty-five or more applica- tions from retired officers who are anxious to take the test and be re- stored to active duty are now on file. As the need of additional officers on the active list is admitted, it is pre- stunned that the war department will tra nsfer to the active list all officers who can comply with the provisions of the law.
