(Note.-Mrs Goodwin conducts

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 6.-The
second National Baby Week will be
celebrated in the United States May l
to 6, inclusive. My correspondence
today indicates that majority of the
$4,000 incorporated communities in the
country will take part in it.
Please don't get the wrong idea Of
Baby Week 1t is not a sentimental
bathurst. 1t is a serious movement to
popularize certain proved principles of
baby care and community RESPONSE
bility for baby welfare.
The keynote of Baby Week cam
paign is cooperation. This was true
of the 1916 celebration and the inquir-
les pouring in at the children's bureau
today and the local plans already I'M
der way indicate that the cooperation
is even more universal in this years
campaign.
Of course the 100000 members of
the General Federation of Women's
clubs are cooperating. The gen
eral federation and the children's bu-
reau were Jointly responsible for the

National Baby Week Is Not a
Sensational Outburst Surely

| first suggestion for nationwide Baby
Week.
The way chambers of commerce and
other mems organizations of various
kinds and national associations devot-
ed to one or another special problem
turn in and help is surprising.
Most impressive is the work Of state
health officials and of extension divis-
ions of state universities and agricul-
tural colleges. These work with state
declarations of womens clubs and
with each other In outlining special
programs adapted to the conditions OF
an individual state. and they help To-
cal celebrations in numberless ways,
with lectures, exhibit material, bulle-
tins and personal advice.
Each of these agencies is equipped
to make it's own special contribution
to the campaign; the child-welfare
mittees which are being organized in
wemen's clubs of every type, the spec
ial committees studying local birth
registration, the associations doing in
fant-welfare work, the public health
officials Of city and state. the state
universities through their extension
work, and civic organizations of var
ious kinds.
Our correspondence indicates that
they all recognize in Baby Week a
unique opportunity.

\ THE THIRD GIFT. y
y = \ = = y y 4 = = + = 4 y
The East was gray with the dawn OF
day,
And the Three had journeyed far.
And, blazing gem DER Bethlehem,
Was the white and fondrous Star,
And the weary Wise Men found Him
there,
With His head on Mary's yellow
hair!
Twas gold they brought for the
Prince they sought
Red gold from the opal East
And incense meet for the holy feet
OF Judah's promised priest,
And, last of gifts to the Christ and
King,
Was the myrrh which meaneth suf-
fering!
So the Hindu bent, all reyerent,
With the riches royal brave.
And the stately Greek bowed low and
meek
Ger the frankincense he gave
But the dark Egyptian turned and
wept
BY the manger where the Saviour
slept!
Astrologer, with the gift of myrrh,
AS the stars had prophesier,
He knew that he, alone of the Three,
Would walk with the Cducifed!
And the Christ Child, clasped to
Marys breast,
But sighed and stirred from a
dream of rest!

Liberal Policy Towards Reg

Terminated.
CRAVER REGISTERS
Man Who Attempted Suicide
on Account Of Registra-
ton Enrolled.

Fred Grnvcr, Missoula teamster
day morning, supposedly because he
neglected to register under the con-
scription act. received his little blue
certificate of registration yesterday.
Graver called County Clerk w. J. Bab-
ington to the hospital where he is
fighting for life against the effects of
mercury poisoning and there answered
the questions prescribed by the draft
law.
Four other late-cOnerS registered at
the courthouse during the day and one
last night. They are the last. At mid
night the governments liberal policy
terminated. Hereafter any man dis
covered without a certificate of reg
istration will be arrested. County At
torney Angevine was instructed yes
terday by b. X. Wheeler, United
States district attorney. to cease reg
islering men at midnight Saturday
The officers have not yet been in
formed of the method they are to en-
ploy in securing Missoula county for
non registrees. 1t is believed, though.
that it will be done by u constant
checking of men whom the officers
suspect of evasion. The floating ele-
ment will be the source of most watch
ing, it is expected.
Announcement has been made by the
authorities that men who lost their
registration certificates will not be
given new ones similar to the one lost.
instead they will be given Il writing
to state that they have been registered
and their cards lost. This will pre-
vent q great deal OF opportunity for
confusion resulting from illegal use Of

Fine and high has been the tenor
Of social life in Missoula, during the
last seven days. 1t has been the SUI
preme week of the year socially, yet
yielding itself but scantily to report
for a society page. The sending forth
of graduates from university and high
school, young men and women from
the one, and boys and girls from the
other, with chosen courses of study
completed is an event-an achieve
ment of which Missoula is well proud.
The week has been too great. with
commencement programs, alumni
banQuets and farewell dinners. to al
low Of many social functions of the
ordinary type.
This first week in June has proved
itself true to character. also in its rec
ord of weddings. The books of the
clerk of court for the county, show
that 25 marriage licenses have been
issued to residents of Missoula county
during these first nine days of June.
The weddings have been held with
simple ceremony, a few friends and a
minister OF the gospel or an author
lied officer, being the only ones in at
tendance.
