Navy Yard Vacations

The employees of the Washington
navy yard have reason to be thankful
to Senator Pittman of Nevada for his
skillful and successful fight to obtain
for them and the workmen of all 9TH
er yards, gun factories. arsenals and
naval stations a full months vaea-
ton with pay.
Other civil employees of the gov
eminent have been receiving 80 days
leave with pay and there was every
reason why the mechanics and other
laboring men in the government
plants and factories should receive
equally fair treatment.
1t is idle for the government or It's
representatives to talk about social
justice to workmen in private plants
unless the Federal authorities are
willing to set an example.
Workmen in private plants receive
much higher wages than those in the
government yards and factories. This
as been shown repeatedly by the ar
guments the government has had to
make to keep it's employees from re-
spending to the greater financial In
durements of private munition max
ers.
Labor has It's false and its reaI
friends. Senator Pittman, by over
coming the technical and strategic
efforts to block his amendment fol
the benefit of the workers in the gov
eminent yards and plants, has shown
that he is one of the true friends o
labor. Although there is no nav.
yard in his own state, and no arse
nal, he has shown that he believes

OF the two distinct races, these OIL
spring of a common mother deserted
by their father long before they were
born. face a future which should and
will enlist the interest of eugenists,
of biologists and of child study ex-
perts the world over.
When the oma who said her
name was Mabel Owen went to the
county hospital the authorities were
able to learn only that she had been
married and divorced.
For some time she had lived in
Denver in a room in a block on Four
tenth street. There was nothing ex-
t%raordinary about the appearance OF
the woman who said she was white
clear through"
The only feeling she seemed to
show when her agony was over was
one of surprise when two babies in
stead of one were laid in her arms.
Not content with breaking the ra-
cial record in giving birth to a black
and a white child, this woman shat
tered the heredity traditions, which
decree the fathers likeness and char
acteristics to the girl and those of the
mother to the boy. Mabel Owens
daughter is white like herself, a o
nal baby, showing signs of breeding.
Mabel Owens son Is a little, black,
monkeyish looking creature, perhaps
a replica of the parent il will never
know.
Lying in the white cribs at Crit
tenton home these weird babies give
no sign of the racial feud and war
fare they typify. The girl is lively
and capable of making her wants
known. The boy is frail and lacking
in agility. The mother made them
wards of the great state of Colorado,
which should guard them we'll as ex-
hibits hitherto unknown, and as hui
man beings who may and may not
become creditable members OF soei-
ETY..
How will this brother and sister
regard each other when days of I'M
derstanding come?
Will characteristics of the black
father crop out in the white daugh-
ter, and will the more civilized tend
encies of the white mother refrain
the black son? Only time can tell.
Meanwhile physicians are wondering
how they happened.

Death of James whitcomb Riley

D<ht VI
James Whiteomb Riley died Sun
day night at 1880 o'clock while only
Mr.. Riley's nurse, Miss elemental
Prough. was awake, in the poets
home. He had asked for a drink OF
water and had reclined on the bed
again. Miss Prough resumed her
vigil and noticing that the poet
seemed not to be resting easily, ap-
preached his bed. Mr.. Riley died be-
fore she reached his side.
Mr.. Riley's death was due TO par
alysis Members of his family were
summoned Immediately. They are
his brother-in-law, Henry Eitel; his
nephew, Edmund III. Eitel; and his
niece, Miss Elizabeth Eitel.
Mr.. Riley suffered his first violent
attack of paralysis July 10, 1910. He
recovered and seemed to be in good
health until he was stricken a sec
ond time. This stroke caused a COM
plete paralysis of his right side. The
severely of the stroke wore away
somewhat until the poets hand SEEM
ed the most affected. Mr.. Riley's
determination TO battle the illness
was shown at that time when he set
about laboriously to learn to write
with his left hand.
For several years Mr.. Riley has
spent his winters in Florida. where
he went accompanied by members of
his household. He returned only
81 last May, and never felt better" as
he expressed it on his arrival. Since
that time he had been in excellent
spirits and seemed unusually strong,

been able to go to his publishers fire.
quently and was out in his automo-
bile every day, even as late as Fri
day. The combination of his spirits
and bodily strength seemed convinc-
ing that he was far from being on the
verge of a fatal illness.
Mr.. Riley was born in 1853, but
was reticent as to his exact age. One
of the most unique celebrations in
the country was held in his honor
October z, 1915, when Riley Day"
was observed by a banquet in Indian
apolis, and in schools of the country
attended by more than 100000
children. Men prominent in BUSH
ness and politics from all over the
country assembled to do the poet
homage at the celebration, and many
congratulatory messages were re-
ceived from abroad on the occasion.
The day in the public schools was OBJ
served by reading his poems. The

Twins. One Black, One White, Born
10 Caucasian Mother

tNtt~. oht man. oh,
TO Caucasian Mother
Born to Mabel Owen, twin babies;
boy and girl.
This is a simple statement written
in the books of the county hospital
al Denver, Colo. There is no reason
why an event SO usual should create
comment. Many women seeking ref
uge at the county hospital give birth
to twins and later with their babies
go their way.
But Mabel Owen, unknown, OBJ
scure, dependent on charity, has
through her babies added a new fact
to the science of obstetrics, has caus-
ed physicians and nurses to gasp and
has written an amazing chapter TO
the history of motherhood by bring
ing into the world, in the space of
an hour. twin babies-one black, one
white. Ethiopian and Caucasian are
these babies of Mabel Owen.
Lying in their cribs at the Crit
tenton home where the juvenile court
sent them, these strange nameless
babies represent the warning races of
the world: the races which when min
gled in one personality are as rag
ing tigers.
The Ethiopian baby is a boy who
when he grows up will answer to the
name of Robert. All the marks which
indicate a low order of intelligence
and development are noted in this
child; the narrow bullying head, h
slim monkeyish face, the flat, wide,
crinkled ears, the tiny round twin
king eyes and the kinky hair.
The Caucasian baby is a girl who,
when she grows up, will answer to
the name of Elizabeth. This child
is fair, with finely shaped head, deli
cately modelled ears. a wee mouth,
we'll defined nose and chin, a wide
brow and straight brown hair.
If these children had been born

There was little satisfaction for
Grant S. Youmans, the Minot banker,

sion handed down by the supreme
court late Saturday evening. affirming
the decision of the Ward county dis
trict court against Youmans in his
suit for damages aggregating S250,O00
against former North Dakota bank
board and prominent members Of the
Minot banking fraternity.
The supreme court in it's opinion,
written by Judge Bruce, found that
foumans had no case, and that jim
Manahan, as a Minnesota attorney,
had no right to practice before the
North Dakota supreme court, Except
as matter of courtesy The shot at
Manahan was taken because of his ef-
forts to delay action in the Youmans
case and his failure when he court
did grant hearing on the motion for
delay to appear personally with a
