FORD's CARD TO
RULERS OF EUROPE
(ronfinuad froxn n>ro

sation veered from acriminous debate
language became not only extremely
personal, but occasionally profane.
Fearing that wide split might en-
danger the success of the peace mis-
sion. some Of the cooler heads are at
tempting to reunite the two factions.
Thus far they have met with little
success. They are proposing as Z.
compromise measure that the peace
advocates adopt resolution opposing
competitive ornaments, but avoiding
specific reference to the presidents
preparedness plea.
Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, Of Den
yer, a member of the Colorado state
senate. is one Of those who refused
to sign the resolution attacking the
presidents message.
My purpose in coming to Europe
was to seek peace" she said. II do
not believe the best way to bring
about peace Is to adopt q resolution
criticizing the presidents message"
Judge Ben B. Lindsey OF Denver,
Of juvenile court fame, said he did
not feel like signing the resolution
because 1t inflicted new issues upon
the expedition. Lars p. Nelson, Of
New York, another who refused. said
that the action of DR.. Aked and 9th
ers would split the peace party untiA
it would be impossible to heal the
breach. 8. 9. Mcclure, New York pub
Usher, was another who refused to
sign. He said he opposed compett-
ton among nations in the matter Of
armfng, but he was not opposed to
moderate preparedness.

San Francisco, Cal.-"Whereve the
life OF the infant is saicguarded the
standard Of lie OF the whole family
is lifted said Miss Julia Lathrop,
chief OF the federal chldrcn's bureau
in speech in this city.
In all our Investigations we find the
infant mortality varying with the in
come of the parents and with the loca-
ton and the type OF homes" continued
Miss Lathrop.
The deaths OF children among poor
families in Johnstown. Pa. are five

But the cheerful part of it is that
every community has the power to alter
these factors, not only to provide edu-
cation for the children, but free cduca-
ton for adults, good water supply. good
homes and good wages.
We are learning that the question
OF infant mortality is one that must be
met by money expenditure We must
see that the working man receives
enough wages to become Scli-SuppOrt-

Norwegian fishermen use water tel
escope to ascertain the position of the
herring shoals. This is the way to make
the water telescope:
Procure a tube made of tin and fun
mel shaped about three and half feet
long and ten inches in diameter at the
largest end. 1t should be wide enough
at the top to take in the observers eyes,
and the inside should be painted black,
AT the bottom, or wide end, clear, thick

little lead in the form of a ring to weight
the tube When the instrument is i'm

But for the very many Of those who
get it honestly, there is great difficulty in
keeping little of it for the rainy day,
which is sure to come. Some never
learn it. And some begin only late in
HE to learn the art of living on a little
less than they earn, When, however,
