NO one knows how many fathers
or how many mothers there are in the
United States. No one knows how
many mothers are at work for gain
outside their homes" The Children S
Bureau of the L. S. Department OF
Labor brings out this fact in its third
annual report made public today, and
says that it is impossible TO determine
the relative Importance OF the high
death rate among babies of working
imothers until we know how many
mothers there are at work in industry.
The Children5s Bureau is conduct
ling a detailed inquiry into the social
! and economic causes of babies deaths.
The present report shows that the two
| items of the inquiry completed during
the past year reveal an average infant
death rate of 134 out of every 1000
babies in a steel-making and coal-mln-
ing town as against a rate OF "a out OIL
every 900 in a residential suburb. An
even greater contrast is found between
the most congested section and the
choicest residential section in each of
these two communities.
Commenting upon these findings the
report saws: THE more favorable the
civic and family surroundings and the
better the general conditions Of life
the more clearly are they reflected in
a lessened infant mortality"
The report shows, however, that no
deductions can be made about the re-
lation between the general infant NOR
talitv rate and industrial employment
of women until the facts about the
number and proportion of mothers at
work contained in the unpublished cen
sus returns are made available by tab
ulation.
This tabalation Is especially impor-
tant to the studies Of the Children's
Bureau. Among the subjects of study |
which the law directs the bureau to
undertake are ant mortality, the
birth rate, orphaul and assertion, all
inforsnAl as to family |
structure. For 1905, and 1910
this inforrnation VA secured, but the
material has DOT 4 tabulated be

An interesting ease has recently
arisen in the coar1s, wherein dis
appointed maiden brings suit against
a recalcilrant lover TO the tune of $1,000
and wins out, too unfortunately for
the tickle suitor. The point of the
matter is that the latter is under q
years of age and the Judge hesitated
long in deciding whether or not he
was morally responsible for the prom
Uses made-and broken.
The plaintiff put in her claim on the
grounds of expenses of trousseau and
time expended on the same, and fur
thermore demanded that she must re-
ceive compensation for the humiliation
she had suffered through loverly defal-
cation,
Of course we all have heard that old
tale before-When the once gallant
knight kisses and then rides away, his
lady love is naturally Inundated. But
why she should add to that unfortun-
ate sensation of shame in airing her
grievances publicly in the law courts
is mystery, We are all willing to
believe that in the first instance she is
Inundated 1t isn't at all flattering
to be calmly told that ones charms
are not sufficient for the holding Of
what once was masculine adulation.
But to take the public into ones con-
fdence in the matter and to demand
financial compensation is simply to
drag ones pride deeper through the
mire.
1t is surprising to note how many
girls, who outwardly appear as gentle
and as meek as lambs, will suddenly
change their gentle little bleat TO a
much louder and more querulous cry
if their lovers show signs of slipping,
The man who falls in love-pro tenn. !
with fluffy-headed little Dolly Brown !
gets a sad awakening at such period |
when he tries tactfully to back out OF /
he affair, and finds that Dolly has an :
)verdeveloped sense of the legal in |
he matter. For such an apparently |
oOlish little creature, she shows an
acquaintance with the

hereof She shows her quondam low

to bring suit against a swain, the flow
er of whose affection, is decidedly on
the wane
One certainly would have thought
that these girls would have stunned
the publicity of the courts. L am
amazed at the calm way in which let
tiers of the most intimate character
are boldly produced, gloated over and
given every variety and species Of
publicity-and this on the part of the
woman
1t is noteworthy feature that men
seldom or never bring suit against a
woman for breach of promise OF mar
riage. The cynical would offer the so
luton that the men are only too pleas
ed at getting their congo" to say one
word in dispute of the ruling. But
this cannot always be the case.
The truth of the matter is that man
kind zen masse" hates to be made TO
look like a fool The publishing of
love letters, written by him or TO him
and intimate matters of an amorOus
nature will fill a mans heart with 4
rage and a humiliation which knows
no bounds.
The effect of the same upon wom-
an, however, is very, very different.
Publicity given to her love affairs too
often fills her with a peace and JOY
and an exceeding great cOmplacency
which nothing else can afford. AL
though she has frequently been term
ed the weaker vessel. she shows no
weakness in facing such a ''contre

joys it,
I heard of a meek-loohing little soul
who sued a man for $4,000. He had
promised to marry her and then

CAMPBELL GIVEN JUDGMENT
FOR 5000.

In the case OF w. H. Campbell VS..
the Bank & Trust Co., of Vollmer, in
which w. w. Brown, of this place was
called to Nezperce last week as a
witness, the jury brought in a verdict
of $1,000 damages for Campbell who had
sued for $4,000.
The case Is the outgrowth of a
chattel mortgage given by Campbell to
the bank several years ago on a guam
tity OF stock and real estate property.
Campbell afterward tried to dispose OF
the stock, claiming to have the con-
sent of the bank to sell the stock and
apply the proceeds on the. mortgage.
He was arrested and held in the jail
at Lewiston, but a settlement was
made, Campbell deciding his property
over to the bank, and the prosecution
was dropped. Later he brought two
suits against the bank, one to set
aside the deed he had given, and the
other for $4,000 damages The first
suit was tried before Judge Steele a
year ago and decided in favor of the
defendent. The second was tried this
week with the above result.
The bank will appeal the case to
the supreme court.
