Little Dorothy Cleveland's condi-

ences, said DR.. Haiselden. Her mo-
Their was improperly housed and fed
before the child's birth. But it would
be as criminal to let her die if her life
can be saved as it would have been

Mrs. Castle has grown tired of
designing her own gowns and wants
the girls of the country to help her.
So some American girl, perhaps your
self, is going to have this honor.
Each big city in the country is to

be the Fashion Art League Of Amer
lea, which now furnishes the fashions
appearing in The Day Book.
There will be but one national win
ner to receive the Easter gown, but
To each of the two local people
submitting the best designs to The
Day Book we will give an Easter bon
net, which must not cost more than
SO.
THIS is REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER THE DESIGN WINS
THE NATIONAL PRIZE.

Widening of "The MARQUIS"
Absolutely Necessary

In the development of the plans for
the William Penn Highway across the
State, touching the most populous
cities and towns, one of the most inn
portant matters under consideration
is the necessary provision for a wider
roadway from Clark's Ferry to Dau-
phin. Under present conditions this
section is a menace to travel and a
serious interference with the main
trunk line of the Northern Central
railway. Particularly is this true i'm
mediately south of Clark's Ferry where
the railroads rights of way encroach
upon the highway to such an extent
as to render it little more than a lane
and increasing constantly the danger
traffic.
Inasmuch as the interests of the
Northern Central Railway company
will require increased trackage be-
tween this city and Williamsport, ii is
probable that some arrangement will
have TO. be made for the utilization of
the old canal bed so as to permit of a
new roadway from Clark's Ferry to
Dauphin along the river. This would
eliminate several very dangerous grade
crossings and provide the necessary
roadway.
State Highway Commissioner Cum
ningham and his force have had this
matter under consideration for months
and it is understood that they are in
touch not only with the railway
officials, but also the local and county
officials with a view to correcting a
very serious situation.

West to lay his plans for national pre-
paredness before the country.
\ complete program for his Swing
around the circle" in the interest of
preparedness was laid before the
President to-day. 1t had been map
ped out by the White House office
force while he was aboard the May
flower preparing the addresses he will
deliver. Scores of invitations for the
President to include cities not on his
scheduled itinerary had to be refused.
Except for an unexpected visit to
historic Yorktown the trip down the
river with Mrs. Wilson was unevent-
full. The President spent most of the
time working on his speeches on the
preparedness issue which has for
some time been overshadowed in Con-
gress by the Mexican problem and the
international situation, has again come
to the forefront as a result of Presi-
dent Wilson's decision to make a per-
sonal appeal to the country in behalf
of his program. In consequence,
friends and opponents alike of pre-
paredness look for stirring times in
Congress.
Many members apparently are
waiting to hear from back home" on
the subject of preparedness before
deciding upon a course of action and
it is believed that the Presidents trip
not only will bring out public opinion
but arouse Congress to activity.
Many More Invitations
More invitations to speak in the
Middle West and on later trips were
received 1T the White House to-day
and the President replied to all saw
ing he wanted to visit as many cities
as possible. but was uncertain about
his exact plans. At the request of SEN
ators Stone and Reed, the President

\ PALOUSE NOVEL

Cam Clark is the title of a new
novel written by John II. Walsh, a
former student at w. S. c. The
scene of the story is laid at or near
the present down of Oakesdale and
the characters are taken from among
the pioneer settlers of that locality.
While the author has drawn some
what on his Imagination in develop
ing his story and characters, yet the
old timers will recall many of the in
cidents portrayed, and recognize the
men and women who play part in
them.
The interest of the reader is not
held by the plot of the novel, for
there is not great deal of plot, but
by the record of two boys growing
up amid the stirring scenes of a new
town in the Palouse country.
Their adventures are told in a
simple and interesting way and the
author has injected considerable
crisp humor in his descriptions.
The book will appeal strongly to
all old residents of Whitman county
and all who are interested in the
pioneer days of this section. 1t will
also give pleasure to all who enjoy
reading about the ambitions and ad
ventures of lively and self-reliant
boys.
Cam Clark can be secured from
the Students Book Co. or Watts
Pharmacy, Pullman, Wash.

BETTER BABIES CAMPAIGN

The members of the better babies
campaign committee wish to thank
everyone who contributed to the sue
cess of the paign-the Chamber
of Commerce, the many local organi-
cations, the press, speakers, must
clans, merchants, m inisters, several
college departments, and numerous
individuals who loaned things for the
exhibit and helped in other ways.
We feel that from every point of
view it was a success. The programs
were interesting and instructive and
the large attendance and close at
tention was proof of this. The ex-
hibit was an eye-opener to many, as
to progress along the line of infant
welfare and the dangers attending
careless rearing of children. Attend
ance at the exhibit was most crafty
ing, running over 300 on Friday, the
only day an exact account was kept.
Our greatest regret is that it was not
kept open in the evenings and on
Saturday but this could be remedied
another year.
The expense of the campaign was
about $25, which is fully met by sub
scriptions. The rent of the church
and janitor service took almost half
of this, which can be saved another
year by using the city hall.
Personally, | wish to thank my CO.
workers for their interest, enthusi-
asm and efficiency. Not the least
beneficial result of the campaign was
the knowledge that as a community
we can do things.
