Dear Mic Grey: That was
such q splendid letter from
Cnas. I.auI4uson, MeAenna,
that | am going to write you
my opinions on the same sub
ject.
| could never see how a girl
could give up her baby. 1t
may be a sin to bring a child
into this world without a
name, but it seems to me that
it is q much worse sin to let
other people have the baby and
deprive it of its mother and the
mother love 1t deserves.
If the poor helpless little
one could understand. ! am sure
many of their little hearts
would break at the thought that
their own mothers could give"
them to strangers.
When / was a mere child l
married a man older than my
self. He did not support me.
and / soon found myself home
less with two little baby girls
and my health very poor:
My own mother advised me
to give the younger one to a
very good friend Of mine, but l
would not even consider it, for
the thought of it made me sick,
and / said no I would not give
one of my children to the
wealthiest person In the world.
My mother said that was self
ishness, that the child would be
better off than with me, but. l
said / am only a girl yet and
maybe some day will have a
home and l want my babies
with me.
II God gave them to me, He
will provide for them. l had a
hard struggle, not only to feed
them, but a harder struggle to
keep myself from temptation,
for that was the hardest part OF
it. But now l have home and
two more children, and / have
been thankful many times that
kept my children with me.
III were a man l would much
prefer a woman with a baby
than one who has let someone
else have her baby, or, worse
still, one of these women who
do not love children.

Dear Miss Grey: I am %
years old. A young man l re-
spect but do not love wants me
to marry him. l love another
man, who has never indicated
any special interest in me. l
think 1t Is wrong to marry
without love, but convention
forbids me to show my love to
the other man. / cannot be an
old maid. Can't you suggest
some way to help me out?

The Thirteenth Juror.

What is the influence of the thir.
teenth Juror upon the other twelve
Jurors? asks Willis Barnes in Case and
Comment. Here are twelve men se-
lected frsn the ordinary walks Of hfe.
commercial or ndustrial-rarely from
professional life. The only impressive
faculty they are supposed to have is q
sane mind capable Of a common-sense
conclusion upon facts submitted. and
that each mans mind will be brought to
unanimous conclusion, hut in the e.
fort to accomplish this the thirteenth
juror takes a part; he is looked upon
as one learned in the law and neces-
sarily learned in the skillful ANALYSIS sf
evidence; the jury listens to this an
alysis and the color put upon it BY one
who knows what he is talking about,
and when the twelve Jurors retire to
the consultation room they carry with
them a mental influence 20 impressive
that It cannot be easily dismissed: II
enters into and necessarily becomes 4
part Of the evidence they are called
upon to consider.

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound Of Human
Voices When He 10 Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

became conscious Of feeling Of
loneliness, writes James N. Hall, in the
Atlantic. I remembered what ]. b.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant In that isolation,
something to make one look longingly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home In the air. ], too, longed for the
sound Of human voices, and all that I
heard was the roar Of the motor and
the swish Of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hu.
man quality In them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping Of the
waves would be @ a man adrift on a
raft In midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, in part responsible
for 1t, was the knowledge Of the fall
Mbility Of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode 90 steadily
through the air; Of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement Of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, II q few
frail wires should part; Of the equally
quick, but less phlegmatic response Of
another fallible mechanism, capable Of
registering horror, capable, It is said,
Of passing its past life In review in the
space Of few seconds, and then
capableaof becoming equally inanimate
matter.

Determining Aoe Of Planets,

A novel idea in estimating the physi-
cal condition of planets was put forth
by NJ. Veronnet before the Academic
des Sciences at q recent meeting in
Paris. He based it upon calculation
of the quantity of water that rocks
such US granite and porphyry absorb
before becoming perfectly dry.
He said that on the moon oil water
has been completely absorbed BY slow
diffusion as the rocks gradually cooled.
Venus is still surrounded by thick
layer Of vapor, while no water has yet
been condensed on the surface of Mer-
curry, this planet being still in a con.
dition in which its geological life has
not begun, and consequently no clouds
have yet formed on its surface.
NJ. Veronnet calculates that the
rocks Of our earth now contain alb
sorbed water which would cover the
earth to an average depth Of about
400 metres.

Rebuilding German Population.

Rebuilding German Population.
All questions relating to rebuilding
Of the shattered Germanic popula-
tons engage unceasing attention.
There has just been another German
Austro-H Hungarian medical congress
on the subject in Berlin. Eminent
physicians and surgeons pointed out
that, while there was q vast deal that
their profession and the public health
authorities could do to help in the re-
population Of the two states. liberal
social legislation by their govern
ments was an equally important fac
tor. Education must be cheapened,
the cost of living, so far as rearing
children is concerned, must be re-
duced by every possible means; tax
alton must be readjusted 80 that the
lower and middle classes will hence
forth bear the minimum burden;
housing reform was urgently called
for. and ways and means had to be
found for permitting more people to
share the benefits Of foOd-producing
land.

Titled Lady q. Shoemaker.

su1S0 6ooy ~ ou0SunAD80ts
It IL an interesting fact that, al
though the women Of the United King
dom have invaded most employments
that formerly were followed chiefly BY
men, the shoemaking trade has not ex-
perienced much change in this respect.
Yet, something ever z hundred years
ago. shoemaking was one Of the "em-
pigments of high society" in London.
Lady Sarah Spencer, in letter to her
brother, written about the year 1908,
says: "In the evening we divide our
time between music and shoemaking,
which is now the staple trade Of the
family. am today in a state of great
vanity, for have made pair of shoes
there is news for you. SO if all
other trades fail shall certainly es-
tablish myself, cross-legged, at the cor
ner of an alley to earn a livelihood in
the midst Of leather, avis and ham,
luers."

SAYS ANT IS "CHUCKLEHEAU'
Swedish Naturalist Now Comes For.

tabIished Good Reputation.

The ant has been greatly overrated,
in the opinion of Rich Eye, Swedish
naturalist. Solomon set the fashion
with his famous admonition to the
sluggard, and the ant has been living
under false pretenses ever since. For,
Tvs a matter Of fact, it is hopeless
chucklehead, and to consider its ways
is no way to become wise.
Mark Twain arrived at this conclu.
sion many years ago, and science now
Joins hands with him in the person Of
Mr.. Eye, who publishes the results of
series of experiments with ants. He
disposes first of the insects supposed
uncanny power to recognize other ten
ants of its own anthill. Mr.. Eye wash.
ed ants in ether. dipped them in liquid
gained by pressing number Of ants
from another hill, and put them back
among their own friends, who prompt.
~ fell upon them and elected them.
He took ants so times larger than the
inhabitants Of certain anthill, wash.
ed them and treated them in a LIQUID
pressed from ants Of that hill, and
then placed them in it. The Lilliputian
insects did not recognize the giants as
invaders. Mr.. Eye concludes, there.
fore. that the supposed remarkably
sharp recognitional powers of the in
sects are simply a matter of scent and
inherited reflexes.
Ants removed from familiar paths
blunder blindly a. ng, with no sense
OF distance or direction, until they
