LONDON. September SIT Is not
likely that Great Britain will change
her blacklist policy at the request Of
the United States" said Lord Robert
Cecil. minister Of war trade, in discuss
ing the possible effect Of recent Ameri-
can retaliatory legislation. To the
Associated Press Lord Roberts stated
that reply to the blacklist protest
made by the United States may be e1-

Lord Robert. however. declined to
enter into the details of the contents Of
the reply beyond the statement that the
principle embodied In British legisla-
ton forbidding trading with an enemy
country is unlikely to be surrendered
in any measure.
Puzzled by q. S. Legislation.
The minister of war trade protested
himself to be puzzled by the provisions
in the revenue bill passed by Congress
at Washington dealing with the prohi-
bition of imports. as such orders, he
said, were adopted strictly In an effort
to conserve tonnage and were applied
accordingly.

That the mothers of Yeringtor
realize the importance OF Baby
Day was evidenced by Their al
tendance with their babies at the
high school auditorium last Satur-
day. The many bright cheruo>
romping about the big building
spoke we'll of the efficient care am
nourishing on the part OF TIC
mothers. Yet the highest conpli-
ment should be paid these ambi-
tious mothers, who propelled by
their love for their babies, are not
satisfied with merely letting Their
children grow up as Topsy did,
but must study and fnd a more
efficient method for rearing ard
caring for their child.
The magnitude of their task
was made doubly apparent, as the
male of the species who made him
self conspicuous by his absence, to
all appearance has thrown tho
burden of this task upon the wo-
man. Yet, woman, the mother
who has from time immemor1al
borne the burden of suffering, and
the sorrows of this world in 81
lence, has taken up the gauntlet
determined that the babe, who
through her is brought into this
world, shall not be denied a single
care that might better equip it fof
the battle of existence.
The question of the babies IS
uppermost in the minds OF all true
mothers today and doubly 50 this
week. Many people who have
questioned the advancemnt OF our
civilization, should, notwithstand-
ing the setbacks of war and indus
trial turmoil, and the hypocracy
of our religions, receive proof OF
advancement, in Baby Week.
There has been in the world, fol
the last generation movement or
foot for the better breeding and
care OF livestock. Books have beer
written, magazines on the subject
hav been spread broadcast en-
tightening the farmer on the best
method of raising and handling o.
this stock. While the importance
of this movement is apparent K
any one with a grain OF intelli-
gence, does it not seem logica
that the child who must take III
the burden of advancement OF The
human race, with the increased
qualifications that our progress
has brought, should be thoroughly
equipped to qualify, in order tina
the advancement of the human
race should continue? Many faith
ers begrudge their children The
small rudiment of an education
that they are able to get in thu
public schools. The remark il
continually heard from men, tina
in their time they had no chanc'
for an education, but had to wor|
in the fields as soon as they wer
able to toddle about, and for thi
reason, which shows the selfish
ness of man, begrudge the chill
the cost of equipping it to battl
against increased qualification
progress calls for. Were it no
for the fact that in most parts G
the country, it is compulsory 10
parents to send their children t
school, it is safe to say Their
would be very few who would re
ceive a schooling, unless it be c
their own initiative in later years
This narrowness IS mostly Q
the part Of the male, and in tn
last few years it is fast disappear
ing, with the dying off OF the oil
moss backs. 1t is and has Away

Saved the nnn.

Ponderous governmental machinery
at Washington stood stock still recent.
ly while a thirteen-year-old girl ap-
peared before a group of dignified gen
erals and tearfully pleaded for the life
of a little yellow dog. She was Es-
ther Smiley of Maryland, sister Of Pri-
vate Peter Smiley, a recruit in. the
United States Marine Corps, and the
dog she held in her arms had been
Peters playmate since youth. "Rover
will surely die of grief unless you
send him to my brother" the little girl
sobbed. And wonders of wonders, the
dignified generals understood the lit
tie girls plea, and acting instanter to
preclude the embalming of Rover in
the red tape of ofiicialdom, gave the
necessary instructions, and within an
hour the faithful playmate of Private
Peter Smiley was Grated up ready for
shipment to the marine corps recruit
depot, Port Royal, S. c., where Peter
is training for the land and sea du-
ties of marines.

CENTS
YES, LAUGH AT YOURSELF
to See Ourselves as Others
See Us.

Laughter is a mark of intelligence
only when one is able to laugh at him
self, to smile with others at his own
awkwardness, whims, shortcomings
and personal peculiarities, remarks the
New York Tribune. One needs cer-
tain amount of wisdom in order to-
know when he is making himself ridic-
ulous. He must be big enough and
wise enough to put himself in anothers
place and see himself as others see
him. 1t is then that laughter serves
the purpose Of corrective and a
means of self-dlsclpline.
But this requires a certain breadth
OF vision which not everyone possesses.
Lincoln had 1t, and with all the sad
ness and tragedy of his life this abil-
ity to laugh at himself kept him sweet
and human, saved his wit from irony
and cynicism, and enabled him to-
laugh, not at people but with them. 1t
Is this trait of quaint self-ridicule and
aloofness from that petty sense of dig
nifty which spurns self-criticism
which constitutes the true sense of
humor. All the great humorists, from
Aristophanes to Mark Twain have had
It, Half the fun of life must be en-
joyed at ones own expense.
man may be dead in earnest In
his devotion to some great cause, as
was Lincoln, yet keep his faith in him
self and his ideals. 1t is this sense Of
humor which preserves balance and
saves man from bigotry and fanati-
cism. For want Of it among good
people and reformers many a noble
cause has failed and many moral
ideal has been rendered almost unen-
durable.
