II Was A Famous Victory

| When baby cried in Emmett thu
other day, mothers of the old schoo
and of the new or scientific schoo
clashed and the representative of the
old school won. "That cry denotes
! fear" declared the new school mother
who was at an advantage by reason
of being mother of the child Some
thing is frightening her. "Non-
sense" declared the other mother, who
had children old enough to be parents.
"That child has the collie. Give her
little hot water" 81 can detect
nervousness in that cry" said the
mother, after consulting the baby
book again. "You would be nervous,
too, if you had that much wind in your
stomach" snorted the older woman.
"Give the baby some warm water and
put a hot cloth on her stomach The
mother read the book and the child
cried. Being young mother, she be-
came nervous and excited herself, and
finally called the physician, confident
the child was on the verge of spasms
from complication of disorders. The
physician came, looked at the child
and laughed. "Just collie" he said,
.Give her some warm water to work
the gas out of her stomach Humbly,
very humbly, the young mother gave
The child some warm water. In a few
minutes the child ceased her cries and
went to sleep. The older mother rose,
he light of victory in her eyes. If
hat child cries any more just let me
,now," she said, and went home. The
,aby book, and the old method of
earring children had FLASHED, and the
had upheld the cause
f the old school. William, the Nor
nan, at Hastings won a victory which
vas colorlees and insipid beside the
onquest which the older woman had
ron over the invader, the Baby Book.

How to Give Good Advice.

The best way to give good advice

Remedy they are likely to follow your
example. This remedy has been in use
for many years and enjoys an excell-
ent reputation. Obtainable every

groom. the Rev. Ernest Altman, of Sa-
vannah. whisked the bride. Miss Ula
Mae Majors. of Midtown, away under
the nose of her father and hurried her
across three counties In search OF a
minister. the couple were married
shortly after midnight at bonneville
by the Rev. M. NJ Marshall. Mr.. Alt
man was but recently called to the
pastorate of the Fourth Baptist
church of Savannah.
The elopement was the elimination
of a love affair that began more than
two years ago, when Mr.. Altman was
called to the First Baptist church at
Midtown. Parental consent was ask
ed and refused. An elopement was de-
termined upon, but owing to q balky
auto the father put in an appearance
and took the bride away. That was a
year ago.
Mr.. Altman went to Louisville, KY,
and finished his education in the SEM
mary there. But stern parents could
not interfere with the United States
mails. and when Mr.. Altman came to
Savannah he knew that his sweetheart
was of the same mind as the year be-
fore when their attempt at an elope-
ment ended too disastrously.
Plans for a new effort were carefully
made. The mistakes of the first at
tempt were studiously avoided. The
aid of S. w. Elliott, deputy sheriff,
was enlisted. Every detail was work
ed out. Sunday night church was go
ing on at Midtown. Miss Majors was
organist and, although she appeared
nervous to members of the congrega-
ton, nothing unusual was suspected
A long. long sermon kept the anxious
young couple waiting. At last the
benediction came. Mr.. Altman step

AUSTRALIA VOTED
DOWN BY PEOPLE

Melbourne, Oct. 29.-(Sunday)-
Consumption apparently was defeat
ed by close vote in the balloting Sat
urday throughout Australia incomplete
returns showed today.
The strong opposition of a portion
of the Labor party and the opposi-
ton of thousands of women voters is
believed to have defeated the measure
authorizing the government to draft
single men for military service abroad.
Australia is the first dependency of
the British empire to put the conscrip-
ton question to vote, and in yester-
days balloting women, for probably
the first time in history, voted on the
question of sending sons and sweet
hearts to war.
The CONSUMPTION measure was
strongly advoted by Premier Hughes,
the victim of an attempted assassina-
ton ut his home in Kew. Exactly
how the women voted will not be
known for two or three days, when
the vote is divided. but the women
voters were generally believed to be
opposed to it.

threatened war they may be summoned
and put into one of the regular army
flying units or made into separate units
of their own. In this way 1t is hoped
to get individual flyers and mechanics
who will be on call in case of need.
"The national guard problem Is diff
ferent," says Colonel Squier. ANY
success in aviation in the guard will
depend primarily upon trained units,
able to take the field as units. If any
state wishes to form an aero company
the adjutant general should select the
man best fitted to command 1t, and
his second in command and submit
these men to the physical tests for re-
serve military aviators laid down by
the chief OF the militia bureau.
"They will then be sent at the gov
ernments expense to the Signal Corps
Aviation school at San Diego, Cal,
where they will receive the same
course of instruction as is now given
to officers of the regular service. They
will take their junior military aviator's
certificates and then be sent back to
the state, where 1t will be their duty
to enlist their men as secure one serv-
iceable aerOplane"
