MISS II.
A.-The writer will 60 you one
better, Miss II, and say that she
has seen some motion pictures
that have made her q better Chris
tian. OF that she Is quite sure.
When motion pictures were
first instituted, the clergy at
tempted to put a damper upon
their popularity. But that was
when they contained much more
evil than good. The film world
has been revoIutiOnized. Several
pastors Of national prominence
declare that the film will become
the great silent teacher of the
masses. 1t can reach down into
the darkest corners where no hui
man voice has ever gained audi
ence and lift up the army of IL.
literates.
1t is quite possible there are
still some pastors who denounce
the motion picture I'm any form
or description, and IL there are. I
certainly think that they are ex-
ceptionally narrow-m minded.
Anything that makes a man or
woman a better citizen makes
him or her better Christian.
And by that test many motion
picture plays as well as spoken
dramas, awakening wider sympa-
thies, enlarging understanding,
clarifying judgment and dissem-
mating higher ideals Of every
day life, are decidedly worth
while.
Q.-Does the prospective
groom share equally with
his fiancee the expenses of
the wedding? Who should
buy the flowers?
A MALE VICTIM.
AIN this instance the "yic-
tim" gets off easy. as the expenses
of the wedding fall almost wholly
upon the brides father. Her
mother, being the hostess of the
occasion, assumes the RESPONSE
bility Of directing details. always.
Of course. consulting her daugh-
ter's wishes.
1t is the duty of the groom to

bride and her attendants carry.

Q.-Can you tell what the
difference is between faith
fulness and loyalty?
A READER.
A.-The difference between
the two words Is very slight.
faithfulness pertains more to
ones true character; for instance.
to be faithful one must be hon
est. upright, and sincere. 10y
atty is used more In the sense of
being constant to canse or per-
son, whether good or bad.
Q.--Is 1t in the plan of ex-
fstence that orientals and
white people will inter-
marry?
INTERESTED.
A.-Cynthia Grey is not a
prophet. Unfortunately she
hasn't the power to read the
Mind of the Creator and thus dis
cover what the future holds in
store for earth beings. From all
appearances, though, the vast
dissimilarities OF the two races
viii prevent civilization from
ever blending them into one.

Wisconsin Now Seventy Years
of Age

With the autumn of 1916 Wiscon-
sin as a governmental entity attains
the traditional life sran Of three
score years and ten. The beginning
of the establishment of the govern
ment of Wisconsin Territory was
made on July 4. 1886, when, at Min
eral Point, Governor Dodge and
Secretary Horner took the oath Of
office. The ceremony constituted
the principal feature Of a noisy
Fourth of July celebration in the
taen crude and turbulent lead min
ing town. In October following the
first legislature of the newborn Ter
ritory convened at Old Belmont.
Lafayette county, in a story-and-a-
half frame building Wisconsin's

The capitol building has long been in
use as a horse stable, and even the
very name of the place was removed
some fifty years ago, to grace an adj
joining community.

The Student Vote

The supreme court Of Wisconsin
has made ruling that students at
tending school away from their home
town cannot vote. In defining this
rule Justice Eschweiler says:
"The general rule is that man
must have a habitation or domicile
somewhere, and that he can have
but one at the same time for one and
the same purpose, and that when be
loses one he must acquire another.
Every person can fix his own resi-
dence, provided he makes it reason
ably permanent by intending to re-
turn thereto when a temporary job
is finished. Attendance at an insti-
tuition of learning for the sole pur-
pose of acquiring an education is not
of itself sufficient to establish the
student as an elector."

Mothers Being Killed

This bureau is being called upon in
an editorial appearing in the current
issue Of the Wisconsin Medical Jour
nal to make campaign against the
''frightful mortality among the moth
ers of Wisconsin" from blood poison
ing accompanying childbirth. This call
is significant one, coming as 1t does
from periodical owned by the organ
lied medical profession of the state,
because it does not lay the response
bility entirely on others but frankly
states that physicians are to blame in
many instances.
This self criticism is true to the
best traditions of the medical profess
sion. The principles of that profes-
sion have always demanded of it's
practitioners that they place the IN
terests of their patients above their
own. In this they are comparable to
sailors who are obligated by their own
unwritten law never to leave the ship
in times of danger, until every pas
senger's safety has been looked to
first.
But as there have been sailors who
have thought of personal safety
first" SO are there some practitioners
of medicine whose first thoughts are
of personal ease and easy money. The
medical journal holds no brief for
such. On the contrary it considers the
welfare of the individual, the patient
and the non-medical public, in the
mass, to be above personal and class
interests.
According to official figures, 100
mothers died in Wisconsin last year of
blood poisoning as an incident of child
birth. Even this isn't the whole truth
because not all of such deaths are re-
corded truthfully as to cause.
Practically all of those deaths were
preventable and yet they were not pre-
vented! Why? Because in too many
instances some one was careless or ig-
norant-or both careless and ignorant.
A large proportion of Wisconsin moth
