ROTARIANS FAIL TO ATTEND
PERFORMANCE THEY FATHER

FL PasOans apparently have little
appreciation OF Shakspere and his mas
terpieces, judging by the small at
tendance that-greeted the appearance
of the Ben Greet Players at the Texas
Grand on Saturday The night house
was a shame, considering that the
Players gave about the best reading
of the lines Of this masterpiece ever
given in Fl Paso. The stage was set
with curtains, IN the EllZaDethian
style. and. unhampered by unnecessary
scenery or unnecessary ''mObs,' the
actors had nothing TO detract from the
pure English Of the lines as written
by the immortal bard of Avon.

Of ShylOck, and before the curtain
went down on the court scene. he had

audience It was one Of the best per-

= mothers what the essentials are
IN a good nursery.
The furnishings should be simple,
and unnecessary hangings and up
holstered furniture should be ex-
Guided. As large a room as possible
should be selected-one that IS well
ventilated, and always one In which
the sun shines at some part Of the
day, as It should be remembered
that the average child spends here
at least three fourths Of its time dur
ing the first year. The nursery
should have dark shades at the
windows. but no extra curtains;
about the baby's crib nothing but
what can be washed should be al
lowed. The air should be kept as
fresh and as pure as possible There
should 5e no plumbing, no drying OF
napkins or clothes, no cooking Of food.
and no gas burning at night. A
small wax night light answers every
purpose.
In my next talk I shall tell you how
a nursery should be heated, at what
temperature it should be kept day and
night. how often it should be aired
and what symptoms are seen in a
child who Is kept in too hot a room.

WHAT "A FEW VOTES COULD
HAVE DONE.

Striking as is the political map, it
becomes still more impressive when
it is considered that less than 1000
votes, a trife which big. state
would hardly miss, would have
swung Oregon, South Dakota, Mime
sofa and West Virginia to Wilson,
leaving Iowa as the solitary republi-
can bastion beyond the Mississippi,
and combining the Hughes territory
to the two northeastern blocks which
Ohio separates. To make the map
tell the full story. of course, it should
be marked to Indicate the density of
population, the size of the plurality
and the normal political complexion
of the state, but even the territorial
division is not without significance,
particularly III view of mistaken eff
forts to raise a sectional issue. 1t is
a reminder that America is a big
country, and that all parts of it have
to be accounted for before the reck-
oning is made up. The west has
often complained that the seaboard
states too little appreciate the size
and Importance of the hinterland; it
had it's revenge on election night
when New York newspapers were
conceding Hughes victory without
waiting to see what the west had to
say about it.--St. Louis Republic.

been fixed for the probate of said
will, at which time you can appear at
the court house in said county ard
show cause, if any there be, why sad
will should not be admitted to pro-

In Witness Whereof, l have mere

1t is quite probable that the politi-
cal complexion of the supreme court
will be changed in the near future.
The court is now composed of five
republicans and four democrats, the
republicans being Mckenna, Holmes,
Day, VanDevanter and Pitney, and
Brandies and Clark. The last three
are appointees of President Wilson.
Three Justices, White, McKenna and
Holmes have already passed the age
at which the law entities them TO
the honor of retirement. 1t is accord
ingly unlikely that they will 'stay
through" the second Wilson term.
Judge Day. besides, is in poor health
This makes four places which Presi-
dent Wilson is almost sure to fill be-
fore his second term ends.
