enormity of the crime with which he
is charged and which left his two
little sisters and baby brother moth
erless he gives no sign.
Lack of parental discipline, the po-
lice charge, resulted in Willie becom-
ing UnruIy. At the age Of 8 he. made
his first appearance in the juvenile
court as an incorrigible without
proper parental care"
When 10 years of age he was
charged with stealing a COW.
Last year he was arrested for run
ming away from home.
Now he faces a charge that he shot
and killed his mother, then turned
the gun of Mrs. Katie Gallagher be-
cause she interfered.
A report of the Society for Pre-
ventiOn of Cruelty to Children charg-
es that at the age of Willie cursed
like a trooper, drowned the neigh
bors' chickens, twisted cats tails, set
fire to the house several times and
tried to put his little sister in the

SLEEP

A common, everyday clothes bas-
ket may be the means Of saving baby
from the dangers Of July.
Line it well, then put baby to sleep
in it out in a shady nook in the yard
if you have one, or on the roof, or on
a wired-in fire escape.
If there is no place else put baby
in a slightly darkened but well ven
tilated room. An expensive mattress
in the basket is not necessary.
When the baby is awake don't get
it in the habit of being held. In hot
weather baby should be taken into
it's mothers arms only at feeding and
bathing time. Holding the baby or
fussing with it at other times only
makes it cross and irritable and a
baby in that condition is very liable
to summer sickness.
If baby cries it may only be I'M
comfortable and turning it over will
make it comfortable and able to drop
off to sleep again.
The nursery or room in which baby
sleeps will be more healthfUI if rugs
are eliminated. With the floor bare
it can be kept clean by wiping it with
a damp cloth or dust mop. -
There should be no heavy, dust
catching hangings or dTapery or up
holstered furniture. If the walls are
painted they can be kept fresh and
sanitary by frequent washing.
