recently asked of you: that an indie
pendent nurse, lacking the co-opera-

and recommend that the following

1t is probable that no baby con
tests will be held. since it seems UNI
wise to hold large gatherings CT chill
dren on account OF the recent cpl
demic of anterior poliomyelitis in
some sections of the country. One
of the features of the coming cam
paign will be the registration test.
This test shrould serve as a helpful
preliminary of the campaign; it will
be carried on by a house to house
canvass; wherever there is a child in
the nome, the VISITOR VIII question
the mother or guardian regarding
the registration of the child's birth.
Aside from the registration test. the
campaign in Washington will be de-
voted mainly to exhibits. lectures.
demonstrations, etc.
The committee decided to retain
last years slogan, regarding it as
one of special appropriateness since
it carries the fundamental idea of
the baby campaign in its few words
-" Better Parents. Better Babies,
Better State" Let every community
that had no campaign heretofore.
join the ranks of the experienced
ones, remembering that the mere
business of being a baby is classified
as an eXtra-hazardous occupation"

TWO DRY BILLS
WILL Be PASSED
Senate Committee Agrees To Halsey
Law and Act to Curb Permit
System

Olympia, Feb. Following the
line of compromises effected in the
University State College and water
code controversies an agreement
was reached tonight at the session
of the senate committee on public
morals by which two dry bills viii
be passed at the present session OF
the legislature The first will be the
Halsey bone dry bill, drafted a the
instance of the Anti-Saloon lague,
and already passed by the house,
The bill, abolshing the permit sys-
TEN, will become effective 80 days
after adjournment of the legislature,
unless it is held up by a referendum
petition.
The second bill will be the john
-Kuykerdall regulative measure
which will be passed to become eff
fectiye March Is. 1t will be amend
ed so as to be made strictly an ad
interim measure to remain in effect
only until the bone dry law comes
into operation.
The Johnson-Kuykend bill al
lows the importation of either one
quart of whisky, two quarts of wine
or IL quarts of beer every 20 days
under restrictions much more rigid
than those of the present law and
abolishes the handling of liquor by
drug stores.
If opponents of the bone dry bill
should fail to secure the necessary
$4,000 signatures to refer it, the
bone-dry bin will replace the John
-kuykendall bill gin June. Ii the
bone-dry bill should be referred, it
will not be effective until 80 days
after the general election of 1918, if
approved by the people, and If it
should be rejected at the polls the
JohnsonKuykendall bill will remain
effective indefinitely.
superintendent George ID. Conger
of the Anti-Saloon league attended
the meeting of the senate public
morals committee and agreed to this
program, providing amendments to
the Johnson-Kuykendall measure
were drafted by the attorney general
to make it strictly an ad interim law
The senate public morals committee,
which already has given its indorse-
ment to the Johnson uykendall bill
In return agreed to report the Hal
sey bone-dry bill out for immediate
passage. Senator Johnson of Spo-
kane declined to sign the report and
Will attempt to attach a referendum
clause to the bone-dry bill on the
floor of the senate but he has no
hopes of success.
The bone-dry bill already has been
amended by adopting the system of
safeguarding alcohol sales provided
in the Johnson-Kuyken dall bill and
passage of the two measures in the
proposed form will carry out the
further idea of the joint program.

Ameriean Indians.

Indians were the first forces of civ ilization upon the continent of North. America, where now millions of white and civilized people traverse yearly.
 It is believed that these savages crossed over from Asia by the Bering strait.
 When Columbus discovered the New world these Indians greeted him. They therefore were named Indians, as he thought the place he found was East Indies.
 An Indian can be easily told by their square head, dark long hair, deep set eyes, full face, reddish or copper colored skin and their height, being that of the average man now.
 One of their more popular character istics is their dress. Light colors are their favorite but skins of wild animals are usually their only dress.
 Houses were huts or long bark cab ins- It was known that in some places their bark cabins extended over 100 tribe in New York had their homes of the mode described with sometimes 20 families living in one bark cabin
 Others. west o< the Mississippi, were more commonly known as cliff dwell CTS, tfssr heeARea being located high n>cIiffs.
 Habits a:s also one of their curious items. Religion was not then known, as they worshfpped the rivers. stars or natural world wonders. They were

 Their method of kindling fires was QHfeW different from now. To take two hard sticks and rub for a long time 70 get one lonely spark was no easy thing to do.

 Fishing and hunting were most all of the mems occupations The women did all ot the work like making gar dens ana cooking their small meals

 The Woodpecker is one of the birds that stays in the forest most of the time where he can find insects. There are three kinds that I know. They are the flicker, downy woodpecker, and the sapsucker. The downy wood becker is the largest. He makes a hole in the tree for nest and lays about five or six eggs. which are pure white. He eats insects from the trees and also all kinds of bugs
 The morning dove breeds in May, and she lays two pure. white eggs and her nest is in the horizontal part of the branches in 9 tree. The doves eat berries and after harvest few grains. They have a sad note.

Something About Birds.

I wonder if any of the Wide Awak- es are interested in birds as I am. always look for birds in spring am going to tell YOU about some birds which I saw. We have a society in our school to help protect the bir5s We always try to help them as much as much as we can.
 The robin comes in spring and he begins to build his nest in May. His eggs are blue. The robin in Europe Is larger than the American robin The American is brown and has a red breast and he is the best known of all the birds. He belongs to the thrush family.
 The crow is among the earliest kind of birds in spring to build their nest Their eggs are found in the earliest mart Of April and the color of the eggs is blueish-gre with brown marks

The Star Spansled Banner.


 In the war of 1872, when an attack was being made upon Fort Henry. Francis Scott Key and friend were on board an American vessel just in sight Of the enemy's fleet and the flag of Fort Henry. They remained on board through the night. holding their breath at every shell that went careefinS over among their country men in the fort. and every moment expecting an explosion.
 Suddenly the firing ceased, and as they had connection with the enc ny's ships they could not find out whether the fort had been abandoned or the siege given up.
 For the remainder of the night they paced to and fro upon the deck in terrible anxiety, longing for the return of day. and looking every few mo- ments at their watches to see how long they must wait for it.
 Light came at last and they could see the flag was still there. At length failed and that the British were re- ern rnbarking.
 Tine words of the Star Spangled Banner were written by MT. Key, as he walked the deck in the darkness and suspense.
 In less than an hour after it went into the printers hands it was all over town, and was hailed with joy, and at once took it's place among our pop uIar songs.
 Ferdinand Duray, an actor, saw it, and catching up a volume of flute mu- sic, he whistled tune after tune at length. he chanced upon one called Anec7eon in Heaven, and as note after
