ADOPTING A BABY
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

I have received a letter in which
woman writes:
my husband and ] are a middle
| aged. well to do. chiidless couple. We
! have been thinking of adopting
baby. but our friends warn US against
1t, and tell US Of the dangers OF hered-
ity. and of the possibility that the
| child of unknown parentsge that we
| take and rear and learn to love may
some day bring sorrow and disgrace
upon US, because the bad blood in his
veins dooms him to wrong doing.
What do you think about this? What
do you advise US to do?"
Adopt your baby. Don't listen to
croakers. Don't be afraid Of their
prophesies. What IL an occasional
adopted child has turned out badly?
Millions Of our children have deveI-
oped into wayward sons and daugh-
ters who have brought their parents
gray heads in sorrow to the grave.
OF course one would like to know
that the child one adopts comes Of a
good. clean, honest stock, but after
all, We do not know very much about
how far blood tells in human being,
nor how far certain traits and quail
ties are bequeathed by parents to their
offspring.
Scientists generally hold that en-
vironment Is OF far more Importance
than heredity In forming character
and that the reason that the children
OF criminals are so often criminals is
mainly because they are brought up
in vicious atmosphere, and have no
early training in the moralities.
Don't be scared of from adopting a
baby by the heredity bug-a-boo. Pick
out a child with a good, welI-devel-
opened head. and clear. Intelligent
eyes, and trust to the environment
that you can give him to overcome
any taint in his blood.
Furthermore, as for heredity-well.
when 1t comes down to brass tacks,
there are mighty few of US who have
got such a fiawiess family record,
either physical. mental or moral that
we do not hope to goodness our chill
dren won't take after some Of our an
cestors.
OF all noble acts IN the world can
think of none that Is finer than taking
forlorn. lonely, loveless, homeless,
motherless and fatherless little child,
and giving him all the blessings that
fate has denied him. Orphan asylums
do great work, but you cannot raise a
child properly by machinery. A child
needs the human touch. He needs soft
laps and cuddling arms bedtime stor-
les, and somebody to kiss his hurts
and make them we'll. He needs the
warm shelter of home just as much
as a flower needs the sun. And Lack
ing these, he is always a poor. stunt
ed. dwarfed thing that never reaches
full growth.
When you adopt an orphan child
and make him your own, when YOU

give him q home, q father and a
mother. you give a human being his
chance in the world. You are the
magician that releases an imprisoned
soul. You endow a life with all its
potentialities for good, for success,
for achieving things, and II is as
worthy an act as II is to endow q
hospital or library or any other public
benefaction.
And 1t is a good deed whose rewards
you reap thousand fold. Every time
you feel your baby's soft little arms
around your neck, every time you
thrill to the cling OF his helpless little
hands, or stoop for his moist little
kiss on your cheek, you will draw a
hundred percent dividend on your in
vestment of money and care in It.
And as for amusement and interest
why, there is nothing else in the
world so fascinating as watching a
child's little mind unfold. and getting
his quaint view on life. The things
that you had exhausted years ago
have a new zest when you have a
little child for company in doing them.
Old fairy tales. old songs. old games-
you thought you had forgotten them.

But NO! She had hit one man

in sacrificing the crowd to her. He

In all the world there is no such rem

One of the disadvantages that at

orpheum Theater, DanieIson.

Much that is wonderful may be said of the picture production that will be shown at the Orpheum theatre tomorrow Wednesday, evening"
 In Theda Bara's Cleopatra, the Will liam Fox wonder photodrama, where the curious beholder will find glow ing reincarnation of the splendor of the east, the eye is often attracted to the representation of the scarab, the winged beetle, which figures so large ly in all Egyptian decoration. This curious insect was regarded by the ancient Egyptians as the symbol of immortality of a life after death. And consequently its shape was engraved upon all sorts of precious stones or carved into gems. These gems bear ing the holy picture were worn as amulets as projections from ill-luck Naturally such luck bringing jewels would be considered especially attrac- tive gifts among friends. Special greetings in the Egyptian picture writing would make the gift more suitable. It is an interesting fact that the modern greeting. A Happy New Year, was current in Egypt probably three thousand years ago. For we find on scarab preserved in the col lection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York the words. May Ra grant you Happy New Year."

Thomas H. Ince's newest and greatest spectacle carried the large audience at the Davis theatre last night.
 It is the first great war spectacle, with real heart gripping story, one that does not depend entirely upon battle scenes for it's magnetism.
