Babies.

The baby is small, active article
Of excitement. It's business in the
world is to keep it's father and moth
or hopping sideways. 1t can do this
better than almost anything else ex-
tant, with the possible exception of the
doctor bill.
The largest thing about the baby
is it's appetite. Which it exercises
several dozen times day. You'd think
they'd wear it out. Btu they don't.
No. But they wear out everything
else around the place, including moth
er's disposition.
The baby is not an absolute neces-
s:ty. But it is customary.
The great trouble with babies,
though is that they won't stay babies.
They grow rapidly in all directions.
They accumulate, shed and reaccumu
late and shed flocks of hair and sets
Ct clothes and teeth promiscuously.

SWAN SONGS ARE BEING
RENDERED At CLOSE
OF LEGISLATURE
(By United Press)

Sacramento, April 28.-This has
been swan song week in the legisla
ture. Member after member, in both
houses, has chanted the refrain:
"I'd rather be right on this bill
than be present next session"
That bowling in advance to the fore
casted popular verdict at home gen
orally preluded vote on the wet side
of dry measure or on the dry side
of the flood control bills.
On the Assembly side about the
cnly member who has not confessed a
fear Of a failure to be returned is
Gelder of Berkeley. The San Fran
cisco assemblyman, starting with Ry-
an and thinning out to Friedman,
have voiced the expectation that they
will be kept at home two years hence
tecause they were too day (they voted
for the Ashley so-called saloon regu-
lftion bill) and most of the members
from the interior, having done their
own palm reading in public, told the
ether mourners that they could see an
abrupt and untimely ending in their
political life lines because they had
not been dry enough.
In the Senate, Ballard is about the
cnly member who has made no prog
nostication that he expects another
person to take his seat away from
him. Jones said that he expected
his vote to "save the Sutter basin
settlers from flood" would be the
crowning achievement of his last tern
as a state senator.
Even Stuckenbruck admitted that
he did not expect to be a senator
again.
