S. P. LOSES OIL LANDS
Patents of Valuable Southern California
Property Declared To Be Fraudulent


Los Angeles, Calf, June H.
Ten sections of oil lands near Nc
Kittrich. Kern County, valued at
SIS, OO0, 900, are declared to have been
fraudulently patented by the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company in a
decision by Judge Bean, of the United
States District Court of Oregon. just
filed here. The lands are ordered re-
stored to the Government.
The lands would supply the navy
with petroleum for Is years, accord
ing to the statement of W. N. Mills,
special counsel for the Government,
in his argument last January.
Hearings were held in various parts
of the country during a period of
three years. The Government al
legged that the land agent for the
railroad filed afidavits that the lands
had been inspected and found to be
non-mineral, but agricultural, and
subject to claim by the railroad under
the Act of Congress of 1866.
Thereupon the railroad applied for
and was granted patents in 1904. AT
the trial of the case, however, c. w.
Eberlin, land agent for the company.
testified that he had never caused
the lands to be inspected. Judge
Bean was called to. preside in the
case after Judge Welborn had de-
clared himself disqualified, as he
owned stock in the company.

japanese Women Ardent Advocates
OF National WOnlan's Suffrage

land Oura said he was astonished
when on a visit to England a few
years ago to see with his own eyes
the trouble they caused. Any similar
agitation in Japan would require most
careful consideration from the point
of view of national character.
The absorbing interest in the woman
question induced the Toxic Asahi to
interview Mrs. Takako Kayetsu, the
well-known principal of the Toxic
Girls Commercial School, who has
devoted her life to the education Of
Japanese women.
If the home department proposed to
prevent women from taking part in
campaigns, it would be too cruel, Mrs.
Katetsu said, to be tolerated by wo-
men. She did not believe that Japa-
nese women, whose national habits
and customs were different from those
of their sisters in England, would imi-
tate their agitations. Japanese women
who were educated and had sense of
duty would refrain from following the
example of their foreign sisters. She
strongly believed, however, that wo-
men must keep pace with political
thought. Japanese women were angry
at being prohibited from attending pol
itical meetings. Women ought to know
how their own country was administ-
cred and it was one of the duties of
women to cultivate political knowledge
among themselves. The wife of a
politician must advance to such
stage in political knowledge as not
only to understand the thoughts of
her husband but to discuss politics
with him and actually help him.
Mrs. Kayetsu declared: Generally
speaking, women are better judges of
things than men. Men look at things
only from one point of view, and the

WOMEN DF SUNFLOWER
NATION INTERESTED
IN ALL ELECTIONS
(By Associated Press.l

TOXIC, June 12.-The prominence
of women in the recent election cam
paign has started a great deal of dis
cussion on all sides. Some parliament
tarians who are pronouncedly against
woman suffrage talked of Introducing
a bill prohibiting women from taking
part in campaign canvassing. The law
already prohibits women from taking
active part in political meetings or
discussions or joining political So
cieties.
Viscount Oura, the minister of the
interior, touched upon the woman
question when summing up in an
address his Impressions of the gen.
eral election. First, said the minister
absentation from polling were fewer
than in preceding elections. In the
election of 1912, abstentions amounted
to 10 per cent of the voters. The rate
in this election came down to 8 per
cent contrary to the expectation that
the more rigid control exercised by
the authorities would increase absten
tion. Secondly violations of the cleo
tion law were also fewer, the number
being 4,2OO against $500 in the preced-
ing election. Thirdly, there was an
alarming increase in the number Of
women taking part in the campaign.
This might be taken as prelude to
women's suffrage, he thought

wife should assist her husband in
making his outlook more compreheDs-
i've. The help of a wife need not be
confined to household affairs. When
she agrees with her husbands polit-
ical views, she must assist her hus-
band at election time"
Mrs. Kayetsu did not advocate in
discriminate house-to-house canvass
ing in elections, with personal ap-
peals to the sentiment of voters, AMI
all the usual bowing and fattery. It
was deplorable that some ladies would
go to ignorant voters without know
ing themselves the condition of the
administration of their country, what
the political parties were doing, or
even the political views of their hus
bands. The ladies who resorted to
such practices were badly represent
ing their sex.
The educator concluded: "Whel
visiting a voter in person, the lady
should speak of the political views of
her husband and ask the elector to
vote accordingly. The personal visit
should be strictly limited to an appeal

the Childrens Bureau and sent free on
request, makes it possible to leave the
baby safely by himself on the porch or
in the yard, after he is old enough to
creep.
A screened porch on the shady side
of the house is a boon to every moth
er, affording a cool, secure place for
the baby to play and also to sleep. Let
him have his daytime maps on the
porch and sleep there at night during
the heat.
Do not be afraid of fresh air for the
baby. He can not have too much of it,
Night air is sometimes even better
than day air, because it has been
cooled and cleansed of dust by the
dew.
The essentials in the summer care
Of babies are:
1. Proper food, given only at regular
intervals.
2. A clean body.
3. Fresh air, day and night.
4. Very little clothing.
5. Cool places to play and sleep in.
Do not give the baby medicine of
any sort unless it is ordered by the
doctor. Never give him patent rem
edies which are said to relieve the
pain of teething, or to make him sleep,
or to cure diarrhea, for such medicines
are likely to do the baby much more
harm than good, especially in summer
when the digestion is so easily dis
turbed. 1t is so much easier to keep
the baby we'll, than it is to cure him
when sick, that wise mothers try to
take such care of the baby that he will
not be sick.
Do not fail to give the baby drink
of cool water several times day in
hot weather. Boil the water first,
then cool it, and offer it to the baby in
cup, glass, or nursing bottle. Babies
and young children sometimes suffer
cruelty for lack of drinking water.

Censoring The Censor
Interesting Little Game
Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, June pa new game,
very amusing to the public, has just
been invented in the police court. Il
is entitled "Censoring the Censor"
and is very exciting for the censor.
1t was played yesterday afternoon
something like this:
First, Policeman Ed Arthur, the
police censor for theatrical perform
ances in Atlanta, got on his feet to
prefer charges against the Folly
theatre, a girl-show on Whitehall.
Second, Miss Helen Monroe,
pretty chorus girl from the Folly
arose with a tell-the-truth-or look
on her face and announced that the
real trouble with Policeman Macarthur
was that he had put his arm around
her and tried to hug her anu that
she had refused to accept his embrace
complacently.
Third the censor's face got very
red.
Fourth, the police court judge, en-
barrassed by the turn the case was
taking, announced that he would sus-
pend judgment on the case.

with her forearm. But an older baby
can sit alone and in summer may be
allowed to splash about in the cool
water for a few minutes.
When the bath is finished the baby
should be patted dry, and the mother
should take great care to see that the
folds and creases of the skin are dry.
Use little pure taIcum powder or
sifted corn starch under the arms and
in the groin to prevent chafng. If any
redness, chafng, or eruption like
prickly heat, develops on the skin, no
soap at all should be used in the bath.
Sometimes starch, or bran, or soda
bath will relieve such conditions.
BRAN BATH.-Make little bag of
cheesecloth and put a cupful of ordin-
ary bran in it and sew or tie the top.
Let the bag soak in the bath, squeez-
ing it until the water is milky.
STARCH BATH.-Use cupful of
ordinary cooked starch to a gallon OF
water Of the laundry starch has
had anything added to it, such as salt,
lard, oil, bluing, it must not be use
for this purpose)
SODA BATH.-Dissolve a table
spoonful of ordinary baking soda in a
little water and add it to four quarts
of water.
CLOTHING.-Do not be afraid to
take off the baby's clothes in summer.
All he needs in hot weather are the
diaper and one other garment. For a
young baby this may be a sleeveless
band which leaves the arms and chest
bare, and for an older baby, only a
loose thin cotton slip or apron, or
wrapper, made in one piece with short
kimono sleeves. Toward nightfall
when the day cools, or if the tempera-
ture drops when a storm arises, the
baby should, of course, be dressed in
such way as to protect him from
chill.
Cotton garments are best for the
baby in summer. All-wool bands,
shirts, and stockings should not be
worn at any time of the year, and in
hot summer weather only the thinnest,
all-cotton clothing should touch the
; babys skin, unless he is sick, when a
very light part-wool band may be
needed. In general, neither wool nor
starch should be allowed in the baby's
clothes in summer. Wool is too hot
and irritating and starched garments
! scratch the baby's flesh.
The baby should be kept day and
night in the coolest place that can be
found. The kitchen is usually the
hottest room in the house, especially
if coal or wood is burned for fuel.
While the mother is busy with her
work the baby should be kept in
another room, or better out of doors,
if he can be protected from flies and
mosquitoes.

A baby must be kept as cool as pos
sible in summer, because overheating
is a direct cause of summer diarrhea.
Even breast-fed babies find it hard to
resist the weakening effects of excess
sive heat. Records show that thous-
ands of babies, most of whom are bot
tle-fed, die every year in July and
August, because of the direct or indi-
rect effects of the heat. Next in i'm
portance to right food in summer are
measures for keeping the baby cool
and comfortable; frequent baths, light
clothing, and the selection of the
coolest available place for him to
play and sleep.
A baby should have full tub bath
every morning. If he is restless and
the weather is very hot, he may have
in addition one or two sponge baths a

may be slightly cooler, but should not
be cold enough to chill or frighten
him.
If the water is very hard a table
spoonful of borax dissolved in little
water may be added to three quarts OF
water to soften it. Very little soaap
should beu sed and that very bland
simple soap, like CASTLE. Never rub
the soap directly on the babys skin
and be sure that it is thoroughly rims
ed off, as a very troublesome skin

the skin.
| Use a soft wash cloth made from d
piece of old table linen, towel, knitted
underwear, or any other very soft
material for the body. The towel
should be soft and clean also. Even
in summer the baby should be protec-
ted from a direct draft when being

Plan for Compulsory
Education in State
Ready for Assembly

Atlanta, Ca, June 7.-Joseph
S. Stewart, head of the second
airy education department of
Georgia, will present to the Leg
islature a pamphlet containing a
proposed constitutional amend
ment, which, if enacted, will not
only mean a step toward compul-
sory education, but will, in fact,
make that act possible.
Professor Stewart proposes
that a State revenue of 2 mills
be set aside annually for schools,
the same to be divided among
the schools of the State accord
ing to the school population.
Also that each county be requir-
ed-not requested, as heretofore
to leavy an annual 2-mill tax
for schools in the county, to be
prorated equally. Further, the
proposed act will allow the coun-
ties or school systems to levy a
tax not exceeding 4 mills for the
use of the schools under their
jurisdiction. additional to the
above stated tax.
In case this amendment should
be ratified and become a law, it
will practically double the school
fund of 1l2 counties and will vir-
tually mean compulsory educa-
ton.
