STUDY OF BABYOLOGY
FEW POINTS CONCERNING THE
MONARCH OF THE HOUSE.
Writer Wisely Remarks That II Is
Well, Considering Their Potential.
tiles, That They Como Only
In Small Sizes.

Babyology is very fascinating
study, SO absorbing, In fact, that 1t
is better for a beginner to study
some one else's baby. Then the sub
ject can be dropped-in soft place,
of course-at any time. Undertaking
to study her own baby, the student
may have SO much knowledge thrust
upon her that her brain reels and her
back aches, yet she cannot play hooky
without incurring the penalties of the
truant law.
A male baby may grow up TO be a
philosopher and gentleman, but in
his earlier years he is as unreason-
ing and ill-tempered as a hornet. He
will howl without provocation and
kick his own mother in the face while
she is trying to pull pin out of his
leg.
A girl baby always has chance to
become a sweet, loyable, useful wom-
an; but If she is the only baby, has
foolishly fond parents, and is unpro-
tected from grandmotherly influences,
the chance is only one in million.
A man hates to play second fiddle to
anything, and most of all does he rebel
at taking a back seat in his own
home; but when baby comes he soon
learns to accept an uncushioned pew
in the extreme rear and to be grateful
for that.
While bankers will advise q GUS
toner who can afford it to put some OF
his money in Babies, Ltd" they will
warn him that baby is not an adver-
tisement, but speculation-you can
never tell how it will turn out.
Luckily babies come in small sizes
only. If they were manufactured in
six-foot lengths, with a proportionate
increase in their potentialities for cor
nering affections, vocalizing, and 9th
erwise upsetting the even tenor of a
household, the legal limit would have
to be fixed at one baby per township.
And that would be carrying the doc.
trine, Fewer babies and better ones,
too far; for sad will be the day when
the Mothers club cannot borrow a
live model to illustrate Miss Permelia
Hoibrau's lecture, What Is Baby?
For Those Who Have Never Seen
One."-Terrel Love Holiday, in Lip
pincott's.

Thinks Dog Is Rug Thief.

A beautiful collie dog was found to
be at the bottom of thieving mys-
terry that had been interesting resi-
dents of Highland avenue, Fort Thorn
as. Chief of Police Cook had received
several complaints from residents of
that thoroughfare that rugs had been
stolen from their porches. The chief
instituted a close watch of the houses
in the neighborhood, and was reward
ed in so far as he saw a collie dog
make eff with rug froma porch. The
dog was not caught, however, and the
chief is now looking for the owner of
the crafty animal-Cincinnati Com.

Peril of Cosmetics.

There is another war disaster, but
one we can readily endure, and that
is the loss of the drug and cosmetic
imports, says the Columbus (O.) Jour
nal. Many of the most important
drugs come from Europe, and the sup
ply of these will be cut down materi-
ally, while cosmetic imports will al
most disappear from the market.
There are two things that we can we'll
spare. We use too much drugs, and
as for the cosmetics the women are
beautiful enough without them It
would doubtless be a matter of public
policy If the women were prohibited
from making themselves any more
beautiful than. they are. II cosmetics
helped them to do this, of which there
is serious doubt, it would be we'll IL
the tariff were made so high as to
be prohibitory. But there will be no
need of this, since cosmetics, as rule,
make women less attractive and con-
sequently less harmful to men.
Beauty ought to be moral influence,
but that depends on the kind of per-
son he or she is.

Powerful Wireless Station.

The wireless station at the Eiffel
tower in Paris could easily get its
messages to st. Petersburg direct, for
it is the most powerful wireless sta
tion on the continent. The terrific
sparkling" from its antennae, nearly
one thousand feet above the ground,
is SO distinct that those conversant
with the Morse code can read its
time and weather reports in the streets
of Paris without any Instruments. But
there is no powerful wireless station
i'll Russia, and the roundabout route
will be necessary. The British gov
ernment is building a station more
than five hundred feet above sea level
in a remote part of Oxfordshire, which
will have dozen masts, each as high
as st. Pauls cathedral. This station
will be able, it is anticipated, to get
into direct communication with Egypt
in the daytime, and possibly with India
at night, when the ether is always
better carrier.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-One hundred and twelve
new manufacturing establishments
have begun business in Colorado dur
ing the last two years, and the num-
Der OF employees in manufacturing
concerns in Colorado has increased
4,967, according to r. E. Croskey, state
statistician in the State Labor Depart
ment
Croskey has completed compiling
the statistics of the department for
the biennial report which will be sub
mitted to the governor. He finds that
there are now 2,194 manufacturing es-
Establishments in the state while on Nov.
80, 1912, there were 2,0S2.
The total number of employees is 49,
30, compared with 3S,443 in 1912.
There are 1851 male employees in
the factories and 3,779 female employ
eS.
During the period $500 establish
mements were inspected by the labor
department. Among them were 1,011
hotels, compared with 965 in the pre-
vious biennial period. Although the
number of hotels increased, the num-
ber of their employees decreased from
1851 in 1912 to 1896 in 1914. There
are now 2.227 male employees of hotels
and 2,169 female employees.
In the 1876 laundries in the state g.
270 persons are employed. OF the num-
ber IT'S are men and 1,495 are women.
The laundry employees remain about
the same. In 1912 there were 2,264.
There has been a slight increase in
the number of mercantile establish
ments. In 1912 there were 2,190, en-
ploying 1920 persons. This year there
are 2,221 mercantile establishments,
but they are employing fewer persons
1885.
The total number of employees in the
four classes of business is 66,S11. OF
these 54,692 are men and 1919 are
women.

Paw s1.a5e, ,os7 .oe for Good Roads.

Denver.-A total of s1,259 .OS7.09 was
expended during the last two years on
roads in Colorado by the state and
counties, according to the preliminary

gravel or sand clay. There have been
221 bridges of all sizes, from six feet
to $40 feet in length, built at an aver

Industrial School Girls Remain Good.

Industrial School Girls Remain Good.
Denver.-The girls who are re-
leased from the State Industrial School
at Morrison seldom err again, accord
ing to the report OF Miss Elizabeth
Purcell, superintendent, which has
been submitted to the governor. Cor
poral punishment is not used at the
institution. Moral persuasion has been
found sufficient to reform the most
stubborn arrival. Three months
courses in sewing, cooking, general
housekeeping, dressmalxing, basketry
and gardening are given, in addition
to studies in music and rug-weaving.
Christian homes are found for the girls
when they leave. There are 122 girls
at the Institution, seven more than
two years ago. An appropriation OF
$4,000 is asked for the next two years.
OF the amount $4,000 is needed for
maintenance, $4,000 for either enlarg-
ing the reception cottage or building
a hospital and $4,000 for the construc-
ton of a new kitchen with sleeping
rooms above it.

KICK ON PUBLICITY
Jacob M. Loeb, who sells insurance
as business and serves on the board
of education buildings and grounds
committee as a patriot,>said at the
committee meeting yesterday that
John w. Eckhart got indecent pub
Iicity' about his land deal with the
school board.
For weeks and months there has
been dickering about a site for. the
Marquette school Eckhart's proper
ty at 1903 Monroe st. was picked by
the sites committee.
Mrs. Mary Lyons. who lives in that
school district, came before the sites
committee and said it looked like a
raw deal for real estate owner like
John w. Eckhart to sell real estate to
the Chicago school board of which he
is a member.
Then Eckhart said he never meant
to- sell the real estate to the school
board. His plan all along was to give
it as present free gratis to the

es it to be memorial to his daughter
Jake Loeb and Bill Rothman both
stated at the meeting yesterday that
Eckhart told them weeks ago he was
going to make a present of the prop
erty.
Chairman Robert Roulston, how
ever, thought all along that Eckhart
wanted money for his property and
the school board would pay Eckhart
money and it would be a strictly bust
ness deal This was Roulston's state
ment to newspapers.
Everybody out around the Mar
quette school who couldn't read the
secrets of John Eckhart's bosom be-
ieved it was to be cash-for-real-es-
tate transaction and there was all the
haggling of cash land deal about it.
