Not every Indian mother did ex.
actiy what her mother dld when

something like Il. Just as soon as
her mother took the first good look
into tie b'sby's face. she took some
small round burns out OF n bag.
She was alone. The burrs had fine
stickers all over them. sharp as
needles. She crushed the burrs in
a horn cup with stone. and pat
some water on them. She had
brought the water from a waterfall
which had a pleasant voice and
saved Il for this very thing: for
she believed that tho voice OF the
waterfall was the Spirit Of tho
stream. The mother dipped a fin.
ger into the cup and moistened the
lips OF her baby. and put a few
drops OF the water into It's little
mouth. She believed that the burrs
would help It to remember things.
and that the Spirit OF the stream
in the water would help II to be y
good and beautiful girl. All this
time the mother was praying as
she had been doing many days be
fore. After awhile she put her
baby into "A beaded cradle--somc.
thing like this old doll cradle. She
laced her In clear up TO the chin,
and everybody thought she was

One day when she was asleep
her mother slung her over her back,

from the spring. took the cradle
from her back--it had been held
there by a strip OF buckskin around
her neck, and leaned II against the
teepee. Then she went on with her
work. Flies swarmcd around the

MUNICH, Feb. Is. - An exam
pie of the effect of the revolution
upon the fame of German military
celebrities is afforded in the fact
that the retirement of two we'll
known generals, Kraft von Dell
mensingen and Count Bothmer, APP
parently caused not even a ripple
on public consciousness.
With scarcely a word of requiem
these two formerly famous army
leaders, both Bavarians, slipped
into retirement and apparent OBJ
livion. Even the m~onarchial pa
pers announced their action only
in small type paragraphs.
General Kraft formerly was
chief of the Bavarian general staff
and afterward, until the end OF
the war, leader of one of Ger
many's most famous military units.
the Bavarian Alpine corps. His
corps probably saw as much heavy
fighting as any in the German
army.
After serving as chief of staff
to Crown Prince R%upprecht, Cen
eral Kraft led his corps through
the battles against the Italians
Serbs, Rumanians, In Macedonia
and at many points on the western
front, including Verdun. General

CATHOLIC BISHOPS ADVOCATE HEARTY SUPPORT
FOR LABOR in EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN WAR wage

living wage is not necessarily the
full measure of justice. All the
Catholic authorities on the sub
ject explicitly declare that this is
only the minimum of justice. In g
country as rich as ours, there are
very few cases in which 1t is pos
sible to prove that the worker
would be getting more than that to
which he has a right If he we're
paid something in excess of this
ethical minimum. Why, then,
should we assume that this is the
normal share of almost the whole
laboring population?
"Since our industrial resources
and instrumentalities are suffi-
cient to provide more than a liv-
ing wage for a very large proper
ton of the workers, why should we
acquiesce in a theory which denies
them this measure of the COM
forts Of life. Such a policy is not
only of very questionable morality,
but is unsound economically.
1.-THE large demand for goods
which is created and maintained by
high rates of wages and high pur-
chasing pawer by the masses is
the surest guarantee of a continu-
ance and general operation of in
dustrial establishments. 1t is the
most effective instrument of pros
perity for labor and capital alike"
at seem clear" said the COM
mittee, "that the present industrial
system is destined to last for a
long time in it's main outlines, but
the full possibilities of increased
production will not be realized
