the explosion was due to criminal

BALLOT AMENDMENT
URGED BY POINDEXTER

In connection with the war rev.
enue bill, Senator Poindexter. of
Washington. in a statement yester-
day to the National American Wom-
an Suffrage Association. urges the
early passage of the Federal wom-
an suffrage amendment.
The lowering OF the income tax
exemption in the war revenue bill,
in Senator Poindexter's opinion,
emphasizes the justice of women's
demand for national enfranchise-
ment, for. as he points out, with a
tax on incomes down as low as
$1,000 per year, nearly half a mill
lion wage-earning women will be
affected, in addition to the $4,000
women who have already been pay
ing taxes on their incomes under
the existing law.

Lebas' Confidence.

Many years ago the granite obellsk
that stood sentinel before the palace
of Rameses III, at Luxor, for more
than thirty centuries, was taken to
Paris. Its erection in the Place de la
Concorde was marked by fine ex-
ample of civic courage. 1t had been
brought from Egypt by the engineer
Lebas in a river boat specially con-
structed at TOulon, to navigate the
Nile and the Seine. This boat was
towed through the sea by warship.
When the cables used in raising the
obelisk were strained almost to break
ing Lebas placed himself under the
enormous stone as it began to move.
If single cable had broken all would
have been over with the engineer. EX-
planning his hardihood Lebas said it
was to show the crowd of onlookers
that he was sure of his calculations.
A single error and he would have been
crushed, and he preferred a tragic end
to dishonor. "This," said lie Cri de
Paris, twas in 1896, before our day of
interviews and Lebas occupied only a
few lines in the Constitutional, nc
more, no less, than the periodical adj
ventures of the sea serpent"

AVOID SPREAD OF DISEASE
Point of Importance Is That Sick Chill
dren Should Not Associate With
Their PIaymates.

That the general public, especially
the uneducated public, has no knowl-
edge of the danger of the commoner
diseases of childhood and no apprecia-
ton of the peril of letting ailing little
ones associate with others at school
and Sunday school, is the assertion of
the New York Medical Journal.
parents should be shown" it says,
mot only that their children are dan
gerous to others, but that the reverse
is true"
The fear of having the house pla-
carded ard quarantined leads many
parents to conceal a child's illness,
sending word to school. that it has
chicken-poX, for instance, when really
it may have smallpox, tonsillitis or
even diphtheria. They do not summon
a doctor, and for the same reason.
What is needed is a campaign to edu-
cate parents as well as children to a
wholesome dread Of sick playmates
and to a realization of their duty to
keep their own sick little ones away
from their neighbors' well ones.

MOTHERS DAY.

Sunday, May ID, was Mothers
Day" in the United States. From ocean
to ocean it was flttingly celebrated. AS
matter of fact every day in the year
should be Mothers Day." Every day
in the year we should show our moth
ers every mark OF honor possible.
These mothers have sacrificed much
for US and given US their love and best
thoughts. The debt we owe to them
can never be paid.

of Abraham Lincoln, but how few

err, and yet only for the loving kind
ness of his step-mother Lincoln would
probably never have been known out

Her name was Mrs. Sally johnston,

Edison was educated at his moth
ers knee. A few years at country
school completed that education.
Caesar was educated by his mother,

bons was left in early life a widow,
penniless and with six children to care
for. Napoeon's father was lazy
| Italian farmer. His Corsican mother
made him the conqueror of Europe.
Henry Fords father wanted him to be
farmer, but his loving mother detect
ed his ability in mending broken tools

note, whose success cannot be traced
to his mother, and yet these mothers
are seldom mentioned by the public
press. One wiser than we has said,
SHOW me a great man and will show
you a great mother"
The years roll on, mother dearest,
that bring me nearer to you, but you
have never seemed very far away.
The wheels of time have left their
tracks on all about US, but your dear

What you said to us and the memor

to your children in the silent seasons

you have journeyed on we have said If
only Mother were here as of old that
we might say the word and do the
thing we postponed or forgot.

RACCOONS WASH THEIR FOOD
Curious Habits of a 1ypicalIy Known
American Animal Are a Most
interesting Study.

Few American wild animals are
more widely known or excite more
popular interest than the raccoon,
which occupies most of the wooded
parts of North America from the
southern border of Canada to Panama,
with the exception of the higher noun
tain ranges.
Their diet is extraordinarily varied,
and includes fresh-water clans, craw-
fish, frogs, turtles, birds and their
eggs, poultry, nuts, fruits and green
corn. When near water they have q
their food before eating it. Their fond
ness for green corn leads them into
frequent danger, for when bottOm-land
corn tempts them away from their us
ual haunts raccoon hunting with dogs
at night becomes an especially favored
sport. RaccoonS are extraordinarily
intelligent animals and make interest
ing and amusing pets.
Raccoons began to figure in our
frontier literature at an early date.
"Co0nskin" caps, with the ringed tails
hanging like plumes, made the favorite
headgear of many pioneer hunters,
and "coonskins" were a recognized
article of barter at country stores.
Now that the increasing occupation of
the country is crowding out more and
more of our wild life, it is a pleasure
to note the persistence with which
these Characteristic and interesting
animals continue to hold their own in
50 much of their original range.
