MOTHERHOOD OUT OF WEDLocK
Is PLEA OF DOCTOR

New York, Oct. 20.--A plea for
motherhood out of wedlock was made
today at the International conference
of woman physicians by DR.. Anna
Moutet of France.
'In country the population Of
which is decreasing" she said, sit is
important above all to favor the rate
of birth by every means, to do away
with all obstacles in the protection
of all children indiscriminately.
Motherhood outside of marriage
must no longer be held as disgrace
or burden. The girl mother must
be lifted. The prejudice which makes
her an object of general censure must
be combatted; and if irregular birth
is no longer disgrace to the child
neither must it be dishonor to the
mother. She must find in society for
herself and for her child the support
which in the past was refused her.
Describing what France has done
in the matter. DR.. Moutet said:
"The law has assured the protection
of the child born out of wedlock, first
in creating bond of right between
him and his parents when that is pos
sible; then in assisting the mother
when she is alone and without re-
sources and finally in landing full
responsibility in rearing the child"

CALCULATING FEET IN KNOT

The British admiralty knot or nau-
ticar mile is $3.50 feet and the statute
knot 60S2.66 feet and is generally re-
garded as the standard. The number
of feet in statute knot is arrived
at as follows: The circumference of
the earth is divided into 800 degrees,
each degree containing $50 knots or
$3.50 by 6O) 21,6OO knots to the cir
cumference; 21,6OO divided into 49,
9S5,456, the number of feet in the
earth's circumference, gives 60S2.26
feet, the length of the statute knot.

TO FILL FLOOR CRACKS

A very complete filling for open
cracks in floors may be made by thor
oughly soaking old newspapers in
paste made of one pound of flour to
three quarts of water, or less guam
tity in those proportions. Put one
tablespoonful of alum in the mixture
and stir thoroughly until brought to a
boiling heat. Make the final mixture
about as thick as putty and apply with
putty knife. 1t will harden like pa
pier mache.

ExTRAvANcE IN AMERICA

Extravaganza in America is not
confined to the rich. If it were, the
high cost of living problem would
have been solved long ago. For ex-
trayagance plays directly into the
hands of the profitters. The total
sums wasted In an orgy of spending
ty the rich, great as they may be,
are small compared with the totals
represented by the wasting of few
dollars each by the wage earners and
the poor.
A Baltimore paper recently pub
llshed story of colored working
man who went to haberdasher for
shirts. He absolutely declined to look
at any but the most expensive and
finally left with IL silk shirts at So
each. 1t is an extravaganza for a
millionaire to buy a dozen SO silk
shirts. Mighty few of them do so.
But $1.08 would represent far less
than days income for the working
man.
Thomas Dunn. st. Louis meat
dealer. recently testified before a
senate committee that the people
rather liked the high prices and that
the dealer who charged the most, sold,
not the least. but the most. No law
or series of laws will reduce the cost
Of living. No prosecution or series
Of prosecutions will curb the prof.
teers. But one sovereign remedy lies
in the hands of the people of America
themselves-thrift.
No profiteer can flourish il his GUS
toners decline to pay his prices. The
prices of necessities of life must come
down II the people of the United
curb extravaganza and waste, buy
only what they need and buy it wisely
with the due inquiry of regard to
price. Saving instead of spending is
sure to turn the tide of production
to useful and essential things and by
filling the demand for these things,
to reduce their prices.

LAW OF FALLING BODIES

Since a body falls to the ground in
consequence of the earth's attraction
on each of it's molecules, it follows
that, everything else being the same,
all bodies, great and small, light and
heavy, ought to fall with equal rapid
ity. The fact that a stone falls more
rapidly than feather is due solely to
the unequal resistance opposed by the
air to the descent of these bodies. In
a vacuum all bodies fall with equal
rapidity.

ENGLISH MAY DANCES

The love of the maypole still fingers
in the affections of the children Of
England, and in villages many of the
old May dances have been revived,
and the gray play grounds of the
cities schools ofttimes glow with un-
wonted brightness on May morning,
as the present-day girls with spring
frocks and beribboned maypoles still
sing the songs and dance the steps
which made merry the day through
the long centuries.

ROOSEVELT DAY, MONDAY 0cTOBET 27TH
TO Be OBSERVED BY ALL THE PEOPLE
THROUGHOUT GREAT STATE Of ARIZONA

open to the membership of all patri-
otic Americans, to secure for poster
ity the Roosevelt home at Oyster Bay
and make it a shrine of American
ism as Mount Vernon has been since
the time of George Washington, the
mecca of countless Pilgrims, and to
erect at the nations capital memo
rial of lasting sort and of public
utility.
In this memorial ARIZONA must have
no small part and in every commu-
nifty it is hoped that the association
membership campaign will be actively
conducted from October 20 to 27, with
special participation by the schools
and churches. 1t is considered par
ticularly fitting that the last day Of
the campaign should be set aside for
public observances.
Now, therefore, l, Thomas E. Camp
bell, governor of Arizona, by virtue
Of the authority vested in me by law,
do hereby set aside Monday, October
2 1919, as Roosevelt Day, and do re-
quest and urge that on that day ev-
cry effort be put forth to insure the
success of the memorial campaign,
and that on the evening of such day
there will he held public assemblies
at which the special subject be "The
Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt"
In Witness Whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the State of Arizona
to be affirmed.

NEGRO publications go into the

There can be no harmony where these

this vital matter:

The Macon Telegraph put it plainly
and in truthful language in this para

THE whole truth is that for years
these men have been preaching not
an increasing self-respect on the part
of the Negro for his own race and
himself as a member of it, but re-
sentiment against the white race be-

Negro is black, and there is no real
social common ground on which they

TATTOO MARKS

1t is usually impossible to remove
such marks without leaving a perma-
nent scar. One method is to tattoo
the skin with concentrated solution
of tannin, following the original de-
sign. Then apply a crayon of silver
nitrate until the skin turns black.
Wipe off the excess of moisture and
allow the caustic to eat into the skin.
There will be pain and reddish scars
will form, which may gradually dis,
appear.

In this crpcial hour it is our duty
in common with others to manifest
courage, patience, self-restraint, sober
ness of thought, temperatures in
speech, and considerateness for the
rights of all, despite temptation to do
otherwise. In matters of reprisal we
must always be found upon the side
of law and order.

"LET US PRAY"

President Wilson's illness, very ap-
propriately, brought forth a universal
plea for prayer for his recovery. This
nation was founded by God-fearing
men; the silver dollar bears the motto,
''In God We Trust; the house of rep
resentatives and the United States
senate are daily opened by prayer; the
supreme court accepts the principles
of Holy Writ, and the president kisses
the Bible in taking his oath of office
In the form of Christianity our nation
is wonder; in the practice of it she
is weighed in the balance and found
wanting"
In the presence of all great calami-
ties God is called upon. Too often
it is like the "Fireman's Hymn:
when there is fire and danger is nigh,
God and the fireman." is the peo-
ple's cry;
When the fire is over, and all things
are righted,
God is forgotten, and the firemen
sighted"
If there ever was a time when the
people of our nation should get down
on bended knees, that time is now. The
wrath of God is fast approaching, and
the only salvation is confession of sins
of omission and commission, and being
placed again on probation.
Let US pray, forsooth. let us pray
that:
President Wilson will fully recover;
that he will be given the courage to

Helena. Mont. June 21.-The in
dustry" of raising bounty animals
for the bounty Is passing into the
limbo of the past since the recently
enacted and stringent bounty act
was passed by the Montana legisla-
.ture. Affidavits, required under
the new act, pin the bounty claim
ant down in such fashion that he
cannot cheat, and, in addition, heavy
penalties are provided for misrepre.
sentation.
Under the old law anyone who
brought in scalps of ''varmints' got
the money-and no Questions asked.
There were many way to cheat. One
of them was to dispose of the same
beast in both Idaho and Montana
Bounty was collected on the scalps
in this state and on the feet in Idaho
The new law requires that scalps
and feet DE turned in and as con.
sequence bounty grating has fallen
off to such an extent that for the
first time in the states history nc
levy for claims is necessary.

Dear Father:
Today is now bright but the early
morning was rainy. Cool and pleas
ant are all OF the mornings and the
nights are always cool for pleasant
sleeping. There Is little but routine
work here now and the preparation
for home going and II the Huns sign
we will probably be on our way
home in short order but II he re-
fuses we will have to go right into
Germany and make them sign in
Berlin. Just what the Hun has In
mind which prevents him from sign
ing at once, none of us know, but
there must be something for he al
ways has some trick In sight.
This is an old country and entire
ly different from all of America. The
methods OF doing business are all
different and all OF the ways Of sale
are different When the salesperson
makes o sale II is necessary for them
TO have their customer go to the
cashiers desk with them, which may
be on the floor below and tell the
cashier that they have made sale
and the customer must go with
them to the desk. Then the pur-
chaser goes back with the salesman
and has the package wrapped and
pays the cashier (makes the payment
when at the desk). Everything done
here takes time and is different
from the methods carried out at
home think America is the most
wonderful country In the world and
the more | see of foreign countries,
the more | believe this to he. true.
There Is no country in the world to
compare with the U. S. "A.
Foods here are different from
those at home In that the people eat
different things from our home peo-
Pile. When a fish Is prepared for
the table, all OF II is cooked, head,
tail and fins beings included. The
same way when chickens are cooked,
all OF the head and neck is brought
to the table and the fowl looks as IL
II had just died and was in the gravy
dish, for head, feet, nails, claws and
everything except feathers are
brought to the table, this is done
in the well-to-do homes for it is in
such that have had my boarding
place and there have seen the
methods OF preparation. Some time
ago / had a strange dish presented
to me for food and that goldfish! !!
had never seen gold fish other
than as a curiosity in a pond but
they were served for the meal. The
fish is quite large and without bones
except the backbone, make good
food, cutting almost like piece of
meat and the flesh is very good.
The methods of serving a meal
don't like in comparison with our
own methods-that is everything is
served separately and vegetables are
served before the meats and to sit
and eat dry rice as a course is not
to my liking when after It there is
to be served piece of meat with
gravy. Why not serve the meat and
also the vegetables and have the
gravy to moisten the vegetables. But
that would not be French style and
this is France so it, is necessary
when eating with the French to dc
their way. Your son, ELLIS
