over the good, honest youth who is
to bashful to say his soul is his own
and who couldn't utter compliment
to save his life, no matter how he
yearns to give the girl notion as to
how dear she is to him.
To the bashful youth going to call
on girl is dreaded dilemma to
face. When there he does not know
what to say or do. He Is pitifully
conscious Of his own failure to en-
tertain. The old folks like him. They
know that their girl is safe in his COM
pany. His reverence for the maid is
80 great, SO sincere, that he would
cut his right hand of rather than to
offer her the slightest caress. Her
parents do not feel the same conf
dence in the dashing fellow who has
had no end of sweethearts ever since
he was out of his swaddling clothes,
broken hearts by the score and was
always ready for . new conquest, ever
.captivated by new and prettier fsce.
winning affection only to fling 1t aside
like q flower that is faded-a love race
that has been won, and that is the
end of 1t. Worldwise parents know
that this is not the kind of young man
for her to be brought into contact
with too often. They endeavor to dis.
courage her with him. When that
falls they set their foot down against
his coming. thus censoring her would
be beau.
Some girls take this parental CEN
sorship as an affront. They either go
into Mysteries or sulk over 1t. Very
few girls have the rare good sense to
realize that whatever father and moth.

there would be no end of mischief
done in a number Of cases. It's not
only the right, but the duty Of parents
or guardians of young, unsophisti.
Gated girl to censor her friends, both
male and female. It is not the par
ents who bend the twig In the way
it should go. but the girls companions
who set the pace she travels. The
wild youth will not call constantly up
on girl he does not care overmuch
for II her home folks give him little
or no opportunity to have her alone
by himself to make love to. There
will be no regret or tears for the girl
whose sweetheart meets with her par.

gay and merry youthtime but parents
should censor the companions of their

BACHELORS ADOPTING BABIES.

'Tis often seen adoption strives with ma.
ture:
And choice breeds
native slip to us from fore:tn lands
Shakespeare.
The fame of New York bachelor
has sprung up like mushroom in the
night. because of his declaration that
every bachelor, be he wealthy or even
OF moderate means. should adopt war
baby. Its proper maintenance and edu-
cation should be carefully attended to.
Every whit as much attention should
be given to the waif as though 1t were
kith and kin.
The sentiment was noble one. But
the bachelor who rushes to carry out
his theory should think twice over the
laudable undertaking. Great errors
seldom originate but with men Of
great minds. AS has been said: IN
all science error precedes knowledge"
To care for weak infant. thrown up
on the world. is one Of the greatest
charities which the mind can con-
ceive. There are two sides Of the
question to consider ere man signs
his name to the written instrument
which gives stranger the right to .
place in his home and all that he
may have toiled hard to accumulate.
A man may be care-free bachelor
today, at the time he adopts q war.
baby. but the question is will he al
ways remain bachelor? Destiny
plays strange pranks with human be-
ings. No single man knows the day
or the hour when he shall meet the
one woman Of all the world who is to
make his life complete by marriage.
Is 1t quite fair to her that there
should already be an adopted heir in
his home? To most wives children
are given. There are some to whom
the blessing is denied. .a,...
II perchance the war-baby, was en-
throned in such a home complications
might arise. Love which its little
heart hungered for might be denied
It. All Of which goes to show that
the bachelor. in thinking twice, might
with good judgment contract to pro-
vide for war waif from his store of
plenty, provide q certain amount for
its maintenance and education, until
such time as 1t was able to face the
world, armed with knowledge sum-
cient to help itself There his obliga-
tion could with all propriety cease.
The aged man could not be expected
to toll on denying himself and the
wife of his bosom necessary comforts
to launch much younger man and q
stranger in business, OF. surround him
with fortune without tie Of blood
which would entitle him to 1t.
He who ponders well over both
sides of the situation is wise.
Another set of bachelors have hit
upon different plan-that of found
ing a school for the war-babies, in
which they will be well housed. pro-
vided for and educated until Of age.
While his interest is still with the
child his liability ceases. This renders
1t 80 that no child can lay claim to
any of these noble, charitable bache-
lors. No wife could find fault with
such an arrangement. The husbands
interest is divided among many In
stead Of centered upon one.

MAY GET CHANCE TO FORM
REGIMENT OF INDIANS
Senator johnson Of South Dakota
Receives Answer From War De-
partment Regarding Offer.

Senator Edward S. Johnson of South
Dakota, who some days ago rendered
his services to the government to re-
cruit and enlist a regiment of Sioux
Indians for service in Mexico. If needed.
was advised today by the War Depart
ment that should occasion arise for the
need of volunteers for service in that
country his offer would in all probable
ity be accepted. The senator said today:
These Sioux Indians of South Dakota
will make among the best soldiers in
the world, either for cavalry, infantry
or scout duty. They are strong, hearty
and daring. Hardened to the exposures
of the west, they are splendidly adapted
for the class of warfare necessary in
country like Mexico. Most of them are
educated and speak English
These Indians, if recruited and en-
listed, will be trained and differed un-
der the direction of the War Depart
ment, and while in the service will be-
come a part of the regular army. avail
a BILE for Immediate duty. When enlisted
they will be known al the South Dakota
Sioux Indian soldiers.

u. S. OFFICERS INSPECT
ARMORED MOTOR CAR
Vehicle, Designed for Use in Mex
leo. Comes From Detroit in
Forty Hours.

Ordnance officers at the Washington
barracks this afternoon inspected an
armored motor car designed for use in
Mexico. which came to the city last
night from Detroit, making the run OF
$50 miles in forty hours, it Is said.
The car weighs 400 pounds. and is
equipped with an eight-cylinder sixty
horsepower engine. 1t is covered with
boiler plate now. but when in actual
service the protection will be quarter
inch steel Even the radiator is pro-
tected by closing doors while the car
is under fire, and every inch of it is
similarly protected.
steel box, high and shelving, keeps
bullets off the chauffeur. who can ad-
just motor troubles inside the armor.
Back of the chauffeur sits the gunner
in a ball-bearing revolving turret. He
sits in the turret, on a movable stool,
and is protected as well as a man can
the rapid-flre machine gun, which
shoots from 500 to 500 shots a minute.
The gunner's assistant is in the body
of the car. His duty is to revolve the
turret as ordered by the gunner. which
is done with a lever. and he also feeds
the ammunition. The turret can make
a complete revolution.
The present gasoline capacity is six
teen gallons. allowing for a run at high
speed of 176 miles. but for border serv-
ice II will have thirty-gallon tank,
making its running radius without re-
stocking eA0.stue at least 800 miles.
