The Marriage Conven-
ton Not to Bind Parents
But to Protect Children.
FOURTEENTH
CHAPTER.

Perhaps it was my precious secret
which gave me courage TO go upstairs
this morning to the nursery where
Benjie's BABY lives. It's a very plain
suite. marvellous germ-proof. in
charge of two very serious women
who always wear sterilized gowns.
My pSor little coUntry-bred self has
| stood very much in awe of them,
But If I'm to be a mother. thought.
where can l get better lessons an
| baby culture than from Baby Bar
! bara's foster mothers?
Dear Mother Lorimer was looking
on at "Bwawa's" bath. "Bwawa" is
the best Baby Barbara can do with
her own name.
There never could be anythIng more
perfectly shaped in human flesh than
''Bwawa." know the child is illegiti-
mate, but I couldn't help wondering
| how It could be very wrong TO add
such an exquisite blossom to the tree
of life.
OF course there ought not to be any
: Baby Barbara. Her father never
bought a marriage license and her
mother never wore a wedding ring.
And yet. here am I, a perfectly good
/ wondering why 1t is right that my
own baby should be glory TO it's
| parents just because we are welded.
while this lovely bit of innocence, my
| brother-in-law's child, would disgrac ce
the whole Lorimer family, il people
only knew the truth about her.
(which is to blame " asked my
self. the man, or the girl, or So
ciety?"
Nature herself. as I see things to-
| day. must be tho criminal.
I wanted to ask Mother Loriu1er
what she thinks for as her sons say,
she is fed up" with modern thought
about pretty nearly everything. Blu,
| of course l couldn't question her be-
fore the nurse. who so far, seems to
| accept the story about Benjie's mar
riage in Canada.
1 can't help thinking about such
things for. although we haven't had
! much talk about war babies in this
| country. we've heard oodles of Il
from abroad. And l can't see how
the case of the poorest little un-
fathered war waif over there is much
| different from that of little Barbara
Lorimer. And yet, when I think of
| those pitiful women atoms who have
French mothers and Hun beasts for
fathers, my heart stops beating.
Baby Barbara, being now frocked in
the plainest of sanitary dresses, / was
permitted to snatch up and bestow a
kiss on the top of her curly red head.
The touch of her warm. sweet body
! revealed in a flash the reason why
| the strict marriage conventions are
! right. Marriage protects the child.
No expensive nursery nor highly paid
! caretakers can ever be substitute
| for real parents.
! And by Just as much as love my
own child, felt that i scorned the
| mother of Barbara Who is this

her good name? Some day 1 am 60

Meanwhile, feel that / would like

also feel that l ought to do this as
\ an honest bit of war work for thus

hospital service.

 The women and high school girls who already are assisting at the hospitals are doing splendid work, John D. Loper chairman of the Red Cross states They have taken hold of the situation in that will forever rebound to their credit.
 But more are needed. Those who are trained in nursing, those who have had some experience in that line and those who have had but willing to learn Young women who never had assisted in the of the sick in aiding have answered the call for help and have been of splendid service. They doing fine work.

 SCHOOL BY MAIL
Correspondence Plan Dur ing Closed Period Be cause of Epidemic is to Go
 Into Effect This Morning

Study by the pupils of the Phoenix High school, interrupted by the epi- demic of Spanish influenza, which forced the closing of the schools. will be resumed this morning by mail
 After an enforced vacation of five weeks, during which time the high school pupils have suffered a serious loss in schooling, and with no date in sight fer the reopening of the schools, the plan to resume the fall term by correspondence was decided upon by Acting Principal Jantzen and his as sistants as a means of preventing as little further loss as possible.
 Success Other Places
 The plan to resume study by mail is not original with the Phoenix educa- tors, but has been tried by other high schools with success, it is said Some Pacific coast cities are now employ ing the correspondence method during enforced vacations and it was after learning of the success attained in those cities that the Phoenix High school heads decided to adopt the mail course plan in this city.
 The teachers will meet this morning by departments to receive instructions cn the general plan and to make defi- nIte plans for the promotion of the work Acting Principal Jantzen will meet with the departments as follows
 Meet for Instruction
 Commercial at o'clock; science at 80; mathematics at 10; foreign Ian Suages at 10: 30; English at II; history at l1:3e. The teachers of the indus trial classes will meet in the princi- pals office at 1:30 o'clock this after noon.
 Any students who can at he high school for their books either today or tomorrow must avoid grouping and must leave the school grounds imme- diately after receiving their books. The administration hopes by this plan to advance the high school work until per mission is granted for the reopening of class work in the near future.
 Hope to Finish Years Work
 With emphasis placed on essentiaIs and the omission of non essentials and without the observance of future vaca tons, students should be able to com plete the years course without much difficulty.
 Every precaution will be taken to avoid the carrying of disease by the process of correspondence work. Teach CTS will be in their rooms during a part of every day, but the rooms and all the furniture in those rooms have been thoroughly disinfected and there will be no grouping in the buildings or on the grounds of the high school
 No Grouping Allowed.
 Boys or girls will not be allowed in the high school buildings nor on the grounds except by special permission Special opportunities, however. will come to willing students who have the use of automobiles and send in their names to offer their services in the motor corps which will be organized to deliver and collect all written lessons once each week.
 Moreover, students of the advanced commercial classes will have share

TAKING BIGGER VIEW OF LIFE
People Giving Less Consideration
to Little Things.

Nothing is more important than TAX
ing the big view of life, especially at
the present time, which is a crisis in
the worlds history. Men and women
have been too self-centered to be Of
much use or service to anyone, even
to themselves, but now, If at no other
time, there must be q settlement Of
this stage of affairs.
Self-centered folk merely consider
small events, and the natural affronts
they take at petty things which are
of no moment whatever, cause a loss
of big opportunities in the consid-
GRAFTON of these affairs, which are so
trivial that they are not worthy a mo-
ment's notice.
The woman who has spent so much
time considering what other folks say,
and what the worlds opinion means in
every passing event of her life, has
begun to feel that after all "they say"
does not count for much, and it is what
she is really doing that amounts to
anything. If she has any worth what
ever, she will make up for lost time by
conserving the strength wasted in anxi'
ETY. over silly hearsay and concentrate
her efforts to accomplish deeds of
value and good service.

Griggs, who is nineteen years old, is
so modest that he would not tell his

bravery of others. Finally one OF
his comrades pointed him out and

SILK, Cotton and Rubber Shipped
to Enemy Through
Switzerland.
LLOYD GEORGE IS BLAMED
Contraband Trade Declared to Have
Been Fostered by British Tariff
Warnings Go Unheeded by
italian Government.

Rome.-The scandal resulting from
the exposure of the part played by
the Milanese Silk company in supply
Ing great quantities Of silk waste to
Germany Is spreading. The govern
ment Is now In possession Of indispu-
table evidence that not only silk waste
but large quantities Of cotton and rub

many from Italy since the war, form
ing a material aid to the enemy in the
manufacture Of war materials.
Signor Giretu, the radical deputy,
has published an article, in which he
points out that not only Italy but all
the allies have been remiss in con-
trolling exports to neutral countries.
He urged the Italian government in
July, 1915, to prevent the export OF
silk to Germany, but 1t was not pro-
hibited until August, 1915, while the
prohibition Of silk exports to Switzer
land did not come into operation until
October, 1915.
As to the contraband trade In silk
Signor Giretu blames Lloyd George fol
having, through lack Of actual informa
ton on the question, imposed restric
tons on the import Of Italian silk int
England, thus providing the Italian
Germanophiles with a splendid anti
British argument.
1t is now certain that besides Sill
waste enormous consignments OF cot
ton have been supplied to German
from Italy, where trading with tn
enemy was organized on such vas
scale that it is inconceivable how 8
much time passed before 1t was d
tected and repressed.
Controlled by Germans.
Judging from the number Of silk an
] cotton merchants arrested In mort
italy it is evident that both the sill
and cotton industries were practical
, under German control and that tt
greater part Of the output Of the pri
cipal firms was sent to Germany ar
utilized in war industries there.
