Test My Rival With Babs-And Our
 Open Fiqht 6eqins
GoDwt81dea IOlo h the

It had become Miss Miller's custom to make 8 regular morning call upon her dear friend Chrystobel Certeis, on the pretense of comforting her, and of dispelling her despondency, and of completing the plans for the journey to Spain.
 Surely the girl has pretences enough to conceal one little truth! She is only pursuing Bob Lorimer." thought l.
 But Bob was usually playing with Babs in the retreat I had chosen in the garden. And I felt decidedly tri- umphant to have him there, safe from the wiles of Miss Miller.
 Soon. of course, Miss Miller located me. She was always efficient She stopped coming over in her car and be- gan to walk for exercise, she said, through the lovely Lorimer park.
 And so, one morning she stopped al the edge of the lotus pool where Bob was down on his knees fishing for Barbara's ball
 Baby Babs, initiating Bob, had reached dangerously far over the water. and I had snatched her up to keep her from tumfling in just as Katherine Miller appeared
 l realized that it was the first time Katherine had seen Benjie's baby since its adoption by it's paternal grand parents. I held the pretty human atom out to Miss Miller as if it were quite the most natural thing in the world for me to do,
 Inwardly, I was revolving this:
 If Katherine Miller is Barbara's mother, will she turn pale at sight ot the child, and nearly faint away? Or will her proper mother-instinct over- come her caution so that she will clasr the baby to her heart and weep over it? That's the way the thing is al- ways done in the movies" I reasoned and then said aloud to Katherine:
 Take her! Everybody is always wild to pick her up! Isn't she the love Hest doll-baby you ever had a chance to hold? Such marvelous-such un usual coloring!"

Katherine neither lost her own fine color nor betrayed the slightest inter- est in that of the child, nor any symp- tom of the instinctive motherlove 1 had imagined she might feel. She gave the baby a single unsmiling glance. stood still for the fraction of a minute fairly glaring at me, and then nodded a smiling good morning" to Bob.
 That gentleman came to his feet and studied the strange group. He looked a bit puzzled but he couldn't possibly see the drama I saw, or imag ined. A wife unrecognized by her hus- band! A mother refusing to acknowl- edge her most adorable childl
 Wee Babs who had lately been learn ing to trust everybody she met be- cause everybody in her wide world loved her sweet self, reached out will ing little arms to the beautiful being in the white dress and added her pret tiest smile.
 But Miss Miller ignored the child's appeal. She brushed by the out stretched hands. Her supercilious glance through half dropped lids, in clhded the baby and me in awful dis approval At the moment, failed to catch all that her rude glance implied. was concerned only with little Babs. Child though she was, she felt the re- buff, threw her tiny arms about my neck, hid her Winsome face on my shoulder, and sobbed violently. Bob was never a man to make dis play of tenderness. nevertheless the cry of a little child has always been too much for his feelings.
 'sWhat's the matter. little sweet heart?" he asked putting his own face down to the baby's. It was almost too close to my heart for me to bear! could have touched his hair with my | lips!
 l And then, for Katherine Miller s sheer, returned a glance of triumph over the top ot Bobs shining black 1 head.
 We women didn't speak We didn't need to. Each of us understood the silent language of jealousy which all women command, when required. (TO Be Continued)

Credit to Their Race

Race riots which few years ago confined to the south to disgrace particular sec ion of the country to be confined any people. It is unenvabe distinction that seems possible sud- denly to fasten it's stigma of shame upon what has been supposed be the most abiding locality in tho United States. Strange and sinister is mob, in uence of the mob spirit all self lost and only the bssest passions ruling.
 That such a awless outbreak could have occurred the recent riot at Omaha is beyond all under standing explanation. Far removed from the in. uence of southern prejudice and out of the industrial upheavsl yet Omaha through the unfor- tunate relapse to mob rule joins the list with Wash lnEton and Chicago.
 Mentally marking the black spots on the map of tho country where the last three riots occurred there is natural conjecture to the next city where similar disgrace will fasten itself That the finger of possibility could be pointed to Phoenix will be indignantly denied and for very good reason
 Probably there is city in the United States where there is a intelligent, prosperous hard working and advanced coored population than in Phoenix. They substantial property owners, many with their homes; they look after the welfare of own race and they work together mutual advance
 ent and are credit tho city to their and to themselves
 Mob spirit is born in ignorance and thrives in re- sentiment of fanced No such spirit could be nflamed in Phoenix in which the colored population of the city had part, and any fancied fears that uch blot ever could besmearch the name of Phoenix sresentirely sroundless.

GREAT MEN

Someone has asked why it is that there are fewer great than in times past.
 Men only great by contrast
 All men are born equal but the difference is matter of development.
 Men developed by the conditions they face, by the problems they solve.
 Man does not select the conditions or problems. but the conditions problems seemingly select the man.
 Nature, in the working out of her program, seems to single out her agents in strange ways and from strange places.
 Thomas Jefferson, for instance, was not chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence because he \ lawyer, nor because he rich, nor a member of the first family of his tine that believed to particular knowledge of the principles of free government.
 Jefferson selected to draft the Declaration of Independence because he wrote good hand
 His penmanship simply gave him the power to prove his further ability conceive democratic principles of this document.
 Obviously, in doing the first task we'll there we. others awaiting him and his final greatness as a historic character.
 When Benjamin Franklin came up the street on his first arrival in Philadelphia a girl standing in a doorway laughed at his uncouth appearance; and as one of his later biosraphers put it. got with her-by marrying her
 Franklin lived at the beginning of times demo- cratic in this world he found much to do in the way of invention discovery and organization and he did it all with industry good temper, all in high sense of public duty and to his everlasting memory
 No man was ever born humber than Abraham Lincoln.
 At the height of his career, no man was ever clothed with more individual power in ruling over nation
 His very high place in history by reason of the fact that among with absolute power he did not abuse that power, it in the cause of justice
 General Grant, in the very beginning of his auto biography says: Man proposes and God disposes"
 He had reason to know that this law is absolute y operative, for in 1856 just five years before the opening of the principal of life he was un loading cord wood from a farm wagon before an ob- scure house obscure street in St. Louis
 At this time he a broken and discoura .ed man because he unable to secure position as teacher of mathematics in some college
 But 10 years later he was the military hero of the world and president of the United States
 Then, take it all and all, there may be as many great men in times past for the qualities by which we measure greatness are more diversified among many men rather than confined to a few men,
 And they less conspicuous when diversified than when confined.
 It is like unto the fact that there is no writer today equal to Shakespeare, but there is more good literature today than ever before in the worlds history
 There men able to write good literature, but they less conspicuous in the days when the powers were confined to one or very few men,

MAYOR BRUMBY> SAYS
YOU MUST OBEY LAW

We are asked to announce that all
violators of city traffic laws will be
dealt with strictly according to the
law in future.
There mas been too much disregard
of law and rights of others by some
of our citizens in the past.
Speeding and reckless driving have
almost become the rule instead of
exception on the part of many peo-
pie. The mayor says that he will deal
impartially in furnishing anyone gull
ty of this, be it man, woman, rich or
poor, black or white, so you had bet
ter have a care how you speed and
turn corners.
Another offense against the city
law is riding wheels on the sidewalks
and the mayor says this must stop.
Only last week lady was knocked
down and injured by boy riding a
wheel on the sidewalk. Parents warn
your children of the accidents and
embarrassing situations which may
arise from law enforcement.
