II Is unfortunately true that when
a man has to choose between the
exhilaration to be obtained from
alcoholic spirits and the depression
that comes from going home to a
slovenly wife and a biting tongue,
he chooses the exhilaration. for
getting the after effects. But this
does not justify the man. and there
Is no justification for the woman's
incompetence.

What IL Your Baby Worth?

A man in Roaring Branch, Lycom-
ing county. has q little girl. two
years old. for which he has refused
an offer of 100000. And no said
he would not sell her for twenty
times that sum.
Is your little girl or boy worth as
much? Actuaries can compute the
money value of human being at
any time of its life, but their COM
putations are based on cold figures
dealing with earning capacity and
cost OF maintenance, as though they
were considering the value Of piece
Of machinery.
Mothers and fathers. however. are
not in the habit of looking on their
children as though they we're looms
and lathes. 1t Is evident that one
man without children Is willing to
pay more for a small bundle OF
smiles and affection. more than he
would invest in any single machine
in his mills.
No amount of reasoning can per-
suade parents that they are taking a
mistaken view of relative values
when they hold their children above
price. Even the very poor will en-
dure great hardships rather than sur
render their children to the care OF
the state. No mere material COM
forts can take the place of those sat-
isfactions which keep the heart
warm when the eyes rest on ones
own offspring. There is more in life

Fact That Chin Is Found

which such huge creatures carry their
teeth. 1t Is more like fiamingo's bill
than q human chin.
Another blow at the Darwin theory
is the unpleasant fact that the only
thing which approaches mankind's chin
at all is the mandible of serpents and
certain other reptiles. Ages ago. as
well as today. the reptile world had rep
resentatiyes equipped with near chins.
Perhaps, when Eve was tempted in the
garden, Old Nick. in assuming the puise
of a serpent. retained too much Of his
chin!
BE all this as It may, even the most
devoted Darwinian needs must admit
that the forces which gave snakes their
pseudo-chins. be they alike or ever so
unlike the human chin, could not have
been evolutionary.
Thought and emotion, muscular ac-
ton and inheritance all play, herculean
roles In the development of mankind's
chins. The brain may have only an In
termediary or central station role in
the psychic activities Of the human
tribe. but there Is no true chin found
without a human brain. Nor is there
any low forehead or shallow skull cav
ity.

r N a New Jersey damage suit the

1 the life Of boy Is worth just
twice as much as the life of a
girl.
Evidence presented showed that
twin babies had died from impuri-
ties In patented food For the boy
twin $4,000 was given, and for the
girl twin, $1,000
OF course no one VIII ever exactly
know just whether the boy was
worth $1,000. and the girl 5000, or the
two the same price Any reduction
OF human life to money values seems
absurd. A man in Roaring Branch,

two years old for whom he refused
an offer Of 100000.
But whatever the price set, the
consensus Of opinion--the opinion Of
of present industrial conditions. 1t
represented the existing inequality Of
the sexes. The wage of the girl
worker should be the same as that Of
the boy, the ability. and not the
sex should set the price, in this day
