cordance with the request of the War
Service committee, also the official
records of the War, the Red Cross
Bulletin and the War Service BuIle-
tin. Books and Magazines were ship
ped to the different cantonements for
the soldiers, and as much library
work was done as was possible for
small library. All things considered
the development of the library has
gone beyond what was reasonably
expected of it in a war year.
For the many courtesies and inter
est of the Library Board the Librari-
an makes grateful acknowledgement.
Respectfully submitted,

THE STATE VS.. W

The bill IN relation to proceedings in
paternity now before the judiciary
committees of both the house and the
the State VS.. w.
W was prosperous young farmer
living in the western part of the state
into whose home an orphan girl was
placed from the state home. In the
course of time the girl had to be re-
moved to a hospital and there gave
birth to child. W was convicted in
the district court and is now serving
sentence in the Kansas penitentiary.
The wrong to society may have been
righed by this disposal of the case but
the result is that the innocent wife
of Was been irreparably disgraced,
his children made the children of feion,
the Legitimate baby and it's mother
have had no provision made for their
support and the state of Kansas is pay
ing big bill for the prosecution and
support of this man in the penitentiary
without doing good to anybody con-
eerned in the case.
The present bill under consideration
makes penitentiary sentence only the
very last resort in these cases. A pri-
vate hearing is allowed instead of the
arrest of accused father, and if he be
adjudged to be the father he is permit
ted to pay for the child's support during
m minority the same as tho it were born
in legal wedlock.
This bill does away with expensive
court proceedings, with heaping dis
grace on innocent parties and more
than all else, it provides a name and
support for every child born in Kansas.
This measure not only is meritori-
Gus but practical 1t is sensible solut-
ion of the problem of society that never
ceases to tangle itself in the courts
and promote disgrace and grief. The
bill, supported by DR.. Lydia DeVilbliss
of the division of child hygiene of the
state board OF health, is introduced for
no private gain, it calls for no appro-
priation, it does not increase taxes or
cause society any inconvenience. It is
in the judiciary commettees of legisla-
ture at this time and NEST certainly
should be reported out favorably. -Ex.

But still she did not speak to him she
so well loved of the pain that seemed

she kissed her laughing baby, and caught
in its rosy face a memory of something
evil and nsnacing.
And then, one day, the baby sickened
and died. And The Woman sat be-

smiling, lay asleep, she wept as only
women weep, who know their first great
sorrow. And as she sat, so weeping, she
heard a strange Voice which spoke TO

X THE OLD ARTS 81

Judging from the displays in the stores
the old arts are coming to the fore
again, the humble rag carpet, the patcn-
work quilt and the knitted counterpaine
having found new lease on life in an
apotheosis of the arts and crafts that
have been revived in a most satisfying
way.
The first two require so much patience
and such Flooding work that they are
never apt to become popular pastime as
in the days of our pioneer grandmothers.
But the knitted counterpaine is some
different. This is usually made in small
strips or sections, and then may be
whipped together very quickly 9TH sew
ing needle and strong thread.
The old fashion of knitting indeed
has come to take rank beyond any other
