Mrs. Jessie McCutcheon Raleigh,
sister OF John r. McCutcheon. the ear
toonist. and the maker OF "rhe good
fairy" that eagre little figure which
everyone knows. has undertaken a
rev venture. She has become the
mother OF a brand new family OF dolls.
Even before the wa when the finest
imported ones were plentiful. dolls
had never reached the artistic stand
ard which Mrs. Raleigh felt was nee
essary In toys with such an important
Influence on child life SO she added
n research %labrOtory TO her "Good
fairy" factory and secured an expert

She engaged a noted sculptor to
model the original dolls from real
American children.
Today the heads OF these beautiful
~ formed little creatures are painted
by students from the Chicago Art In
stitute Thus they are made extreme
ly lifelike. The Raleigh Dolls are on

SCOUT MAN IS pRowNINal

The scout game OF lifesaver is a
first-aid game and should be played
often. Otherwise, when the real thing
happens, some day. we shan't be
ready. Many a swimmer is drowned
every summer trying to rescue a
drowning comrade from having no no
ton Of how to do II.
The game Is great fun and Is played
with five teams Of two players each.
There are two classes OF players: the
Savers" and the "drowners." Five
drOwners 20 out from shore a GER
tain distance and pretend they are
drowning. Five savers swim out to
bring them I'm.
II Is unfair for a drowner to as
slst himself in any way once "A saver
gets a hold on him. Any hold is per-
mlsslble, but care must be taken to
keep the drOwner's head above water.
The first saver who brings his bur-
den safely across the line is the win
ncr. There should be IA starter. who
will also referee the game.
There are many possible variations
to add excitement and try skill, as for
instance requiring the savers TO skin
on their clothes Cor some Of them)

BRITAIN TO ASK
TRIAL
Bonar Law Announces Gov
ernment's Stand for
Punishment.

London. Dec 4-The first official
announcement that England will de-
mand the surrender of the former
Kaiser for trial was made in a speech
here yesterday by Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer.
Mr.. Bonar Law also stated that
England proposes an interallied COM
mittee to determine how much indem-
nifty Germany will be able to pay.
Touching upon the coming election, he
declared that il the present govern
ment is returned not only will all in
termed Germans be returned to Ger
many. but others viii not be allowed
to enter England IN the future.
He said in part:
The government has come to the
conclusion-and we mean to press
that conclusion on our allies as far
as we can-that one of the greatest
lessons of this war will be lost un-
less it is made plain that men who
are responsible for crimes like those
of the Kaiser must answer for these
crimes.
Il shall do what we can to get our
allies to agree with us-we have no
reason to suppose that they will differ
that the surrender of the Kaiser
shall be demanded and that he shall
stand his trial 1t is not a question of
vindictiveness. This war will have
been altogether bad unless as one of
it's results it is made plain not only
now but forever that every man who
deliberately chooses to plunge the
world into war for the sake of the
gain that he may make out of 1t. will
always be held responsible and guilty
of the blood that has been she'd

ARRIVING WOUNDED
Nothing We Can Do Will Repay
Them" Saws Secretary.

New York. Dec. 4-Secretary Baker
greeted the men on the transport
Lapland shortly after she docked.. He
talked with the wounded men in the
sick bay. asking for particulars about
the battles in which they were
wounded. The Secretary was not
recognized es he walked down the
pier 20 the ship until some Cleveland
soldiers saw him and started a cheer
THE country is proud of these
men who shed their blood for the
flag" Baker said. Nothing we can
ever do will begin to repay them
for the glorious sacrifices they have
made. 1t is times like these that one
feels proud to know he Is an Amer
ican."
Speaking of the Presidents trip,
Baker said:
Great concern is felt in Great
Britain about President Wilson's
trip. The English are puzzled to
know just what the President meant
by his words anent the league of
nations and the freedom of the seas.
However, he will get one of the
greatest receptions over there ever
given, for the English regard him
as the worlds savior"

McAdoo and Daniels Tell Commit
tee of Need for Vast Levies.

The final touches were given to the
5000, 100000 revenue bill by the Senate
Finance Committee yesterday. and the
copy was sent to the printer with the
expectation that ii will be ready for
introduction in the Senate on Friday,
Secretaries McAdoo and Daniels ap-
peared before the committee yesterday
at the request of the Republican men,
bers. who said they were not entirely
convinced of the necessity of raising
such a large amount now that the war
is over. Secretary McAdoc told the
committee that he had confirmed his
previous estimate that the needs of
the government will be 5000. ooO. 900 for
the current fiscal year and 81. 900 900 900
for the year ending June 30. 1890.
The postal rates on second-class

carried beyond this 2Oo-mile zone the
rate will be one and one-half cents a

MAY APPOINT GLASS
TO TREASURY BERTH
Virginia Representative Leads in
Gossip Over McAdoo Successor.

1t is believed here that the Senate
today will receive a recommendation
for the appointment of a successor to
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
1t was stated that the nomination, by
the President to the Cabinet posiridn
made vacant by Mr.. McAdoo's resig-
nation would be made public yester-
day, but no information on the point
was received by the Senate, which
must ratify the Presidents nomina-
tion. -
The belief persists that Representa-
tive Carter Glass will be named, al
though he denied yesterday the post
had been rendered him. m some quar-
ters it was said that final recommen-
dation on the question was not made
by the President until yesterday, and
that the decision will be brought to
Washington today by Secretary Tum-
ulty, who left the George Washington
