Narrow ribbons and small white Gel
luloid rings help fashion many pretty
gifts for baby as may be seen I'm the
picture above. FlOwerlike bells of
ribbon In which safety pins simulate
stamens hang at the end Of narrow
ribbons, that are suspended from a
small ring under a little bow. An
other pincushiOn for baby has the
hours Of the day painted on 1t and
hangs by narrow ribbons from a ring.
Bows, loops and rings decorate the
cushion at the bottom, making place
for several sizes Of safety pins. A
bow and long end conceal q common
pin that Is thrust into n of the num-
bers on the clOck-tO indicate the hour
when baby Is TO be fed. Below this
pretty gift is a strand Of very gayty
colOred beads and at the right q band
%crocheted Of silk floss. edged and
trimmed with ribbon, to be used on
the carriage to hold the baby safely
In It.

Perhaps you'll walk back to that
cottage with me tonight?" Bob put
the question as his roadster trailed
Mother Lorimer's car homeward. My
eyes were glued to that a for 1t
pleased me to think hat Katherine
Miller must be wild to turn around
and look back at us and, of course,
she couldn't!
Bob's query spoiled that petty joy
for me. for it supplied me with an
other which was much greater.
Certainly it was going to be rare
bliss to be wooed a second time by
my very own husband! L snatched
at each small attention as eagerly,
indeed far more eagerly. than a maid
of sweet sixteen who beholds a pos
sible lover in each man who asks her
for a dance.
And | answered Bob as demurely
as a young girl! In fact, l felt more
than shy. / was afraid SO much
was at stake in Bob's first awakening
to the need Of a woman, especially to
his need of me.
"Of course I'll be most happy-to
go with you-for a walk tonight" 1
managed to murmur. and | tried not
to let my voice tell him of my glad
ness.
ITS nice of you to bother" Bob
continued with something whlcn
sounded like a sigh of relief. I'D like
10 win through. The doctors have
told me that I'll never shake off the
remnants of shock unless 1 make a
conscious effort, unless | van to do
so. They say I'll have to use my Will.
And l haven't wanted to. l haven't
cared about anything, at least, not
until this week. OF course it sounds
like q fool stunt, trying to think u
the plan of that place. But honestly.
I'm in earnest about it. You don't
mind helping a fellow"
| knew of but one proper a to
tell him that / didn't mind, and that
was to throw my arms about his neck
as he helped me from the car. 1t
hurt horribly to say, and to do moth
ing but say. quite demurely:
I'm wild to CO."
Thanks. You see, 1 don't believe
I'd bother. alone. Too absurd, you
know. Right after dinner, then"
Bob concluded, and we parted in the
great hall.

gone upstairs to his room, which had
once been our room-I family flew to

So he climbed into the tree, and
when he was throwing them down a
wolf came up and began to grab the
plums before the Terrapin could
reach them. The Postum did not
like that, and when he got a chance
he threw down a big soft n SO that

people heard that the Terrapin had
killed a Wolf and was using his ears
for spoons Then they held a council
to see what they would do about it.
They finally decided that they would
capture the Terrapin.
So they found his trail and follow
ed it until they came up to him and
made him their prisoner.
Then the Wolves decided to boil
him in a clay pot for what he had
done.
'Ha! ha!"-laughed the Terrapin.
"Why, if you must put me into that
thing, I will kick it all to pieces"
1--WE will roast o in the fire.
then said the Wolves.
"Hal ha-ah!" again laughed the
Terrapin. II will dance on the fire
and put it out"
.'Well, then we will throw you into
a deep, deep hole in the river and
drown you." declared the Wolves. .

But the wolves paid no attention
to his pleading, n they dragged
him to the river and threw him in.
And hat is Just what the Terrapin
wanted them to do all the time. But
when they threw him in he struck so
hard against a rock that 1t broke his
skull all to pieces.
'Now!" said the Wolves. The will
never cut any more of our ear Off"
But the Terrapin sang his medi-
cine song: II nave sewed myself to-

together one after another.
But the scars remain on his shell

Few Now Search for Gold.

With the exception of the years Of
1918 and 1916, when discoveries OF
tungsten brought a horde of wealth
seekers to the Colorado hills, the
search for gold has steadily dimin-

the space along the eastern frontage
of the Capitol Park grounds when
will be needed for additional tracks

iron, clay. stone, cement, agricultural
and other products eXisst, and the
bulk of these products are disposed
of in the eastern states. The railroad
freight rate to these points on coal
and bulky commodities is from $3.50
to SO ton, while by water the rate
would be soc to $1.00 a ton.
To secure additional water trans
portation for Pennsylvania and re-
duce freight rates to eastern states
the only course is to make the Sus-
quohaona navigable.
Would Open Big Valley
Major Gray then states that about
600 miles of waterways can be made
suitable for barges up to 5000 tons
in the Susquehanna river system,
With railroad transportation be-
coming more expensive, many raw
and manufactured products must
bear the increasing rail freight
charges. Development of existing
railroads in the State is almost pro-
hibited by the high cost of labor
and materials, and the value of ad-
ditional rights-of-way.
Freight taken care of by water
ways would assist the railroads by
lessening freight congestion and
permitting more uniform freight
movements. A navigable Susque-
hanna would assure a certain and
adequate coal supply to the eastern
coast, the Great Lakes and the
Northwest, at a much lower freight
rate. The construction of the large
Chesapeake and Delaware canal, and
the completion of the inland water
axrcy Mntf % l,a Httlf xrFf1l
shorten the route to Philadelphia,
New York and the east. The pro-
duction of power will encourage
manufacturing, cheaper trolley line
operation, furnish electric power
and lights at lesser rate, and in
this way save fuel. Flood control
will save annual losses in life and
property.
Many Advantages
"The construction of q navigable
Susquehanna will employ a large
number of men and equipment over
a period of several years." Major
Gray continued saying that the main
tenance of the waterway system will
give employment to thousands of
skilled and unskilled labor.
To control the river stage flood
reservoirs would be utilized, pre-
venting floods during high water and
creating a reserve water supply to
be used in the late summer in case
of a low river stage. A system of
shutter dams would assist in con-
trolling the waters for navigation
and power and land purchased in
connection with the proposed i'm
provement would not cost as much
as that which would be needed for
better railroad facilities.
The areas drained in the various
states follow: New York, 1000
square miles; Pennsylvania, 24,10O
square miles; Maryland, 1000 square
miles.
This is followed by other statis-
tics compiled by Major Gray show
ing populations of the areas affect
ed, production of wheat, rye, oats.
corn, hay, potatoes, buckwheat and
other products in various counties
and a mention of other industries,
including steel, iron and lumber, all
affected bv the proposed plan. An
thracite coal from Pennsylvania in
1917, mined in the Susquehanna
river valley, totaled 100,000,000
tons; bituminous, 200,000,000 tons.
All of the anthracite and 50,000,-
900 tons of the bituminous can
easily be hauled to the waterways
for transportation to distant points.
