Why Is It These
 Babies Must Die?

Throughout the length and breadth of this sunny land of ours tens of thou sands of unwanted babies are literally done to death each year." says Lucy Oppen in a stirring article in Pictorial Review for January. These deaths happen" she says, either through some quick brutal act or through more subtle and cruel neglect which acts more slowly but just as surely. At last we are waking up, we so-called Chris tian people, to the fact that China ana India are not the only places where in- fanticide is still practiced, and that the tales recounted by returning mission aries can be matched by tales of our own conditions quite as significant. Of course, we do not burn our un- wanted babies alive, spectacularly and in the market place. Neither do we feed them to hungry crocodiles in the slow moving tropical rivers. But our eyes are being opened to the fact
 that we do, nevertheless, practice a system of infanticide none the less real none the less damnirg, because it is carried on without meIodrama, in 2 perfectly respectable manner"

THE BOOK OF MARTHA Of Many Loves, Each Attraction, Martha, Neutralizes the Other.


 T say, Marte, how does pretty wo- man like you get away with it? mean how do you keep the men you meet from making love to you?"

 I turned toward Martha quickly, turned in time to note the pretty pink in her cheek deepen to red and spread from brow to throat. Flushing is not always the confession of fault, some times it is only eIf-consciousness, or depreciation of self But Martha had never been given to blusing and there fore I wondered about impossibilities and was vastly relieved to hear her say:
 They do make love. They think they flatter mel But I'm perfectly safe be- cause there are 50 many of them!' couldn't tell whether Martha was sar castle or telling the truth. T simply cant get interested in any one man for each attraction just naturally neutral izes the other.'
 Daddy Lorimer's eyes widened-he seemed to look over sdartha's head, into the park and into the past-and I i'm agined that he had caught some expla- nation of why his own transient TO- mances had all. in the end, been so Cn- satisfactory.

CAN'T USE WINE FOR COOKING

A request that permits be issued for the use of wines and liquor for cooking purposes, as provided for by the inter nal revenue commissioner was made public recently by William H. Hirst. counsel for the Society of Restaurant teurs. The request, in the form of q letter is made to John r. Kramer. pro- hibition commissioner at Washington.
 Mir Hirst points out that the inter nal revenue commissioner made the rules requiring the filing of applications for permits, with bonds, the. minimum amount of which was s1.000. Although h Ia number of these applications and bonds have been filed, no permits have been granted and the internal revenue department has announced that it re- fuses to issue any, the lawyer states.- From the New York Herald.

Prince of Sweden
 Poet and Writer

Now that the war is over, many kings and other royal personages have to find other jobs. We read of one German prince becoming a chauffeur. An Austrian archduchess is now a gov erress. Prince Carl son of the King Of Sweden, will never have to bother about earning his living if Sweden should suddenly become a republic, for he is a poet and writer of clever short stories. In Pictorial Review for January, Prince Carl has written | story entitled "The Pearls" and you can judge for yourself what a versatile young man this son of royal house really is. It is enc of eight unusual complete stories of the kind which critics declare are frequently found in this magazine.

ISOLATION. Mr.. Pratt seems to think
!. it necessary to throw mud because
Mr.. Guilbert, like most good roads
men, and legislators of eastern Wash
ington, is opposed to the Carlyon bill.
The issues Of the campaign have been
so clouded and the opinion is so diff
ferent as what is contained in the
lines and between the lines of the
Carlyon bill that only time can con-
vince many voters. Mr.. Pratt con-
tends that the Carlyon bill will
pave eastern Washington. Mr.. Gil
bert contends that its passage will
produce disappointment in this section
of the state. If the Carlyon bill pass

Washington's most emminent road
authority. This gentleman apears be-
fore the last session of the legislature
and requested tina body to center its
appropriation on the Inland EMPIRE
highway, the road which runs through
this valley. Mr.. Gilbert of Spokane
asked that this road be completed at
the expense Of the northern Spokane
route. Yet Mr.. Pratt calls upon this
valley to repudiate this man because
he does not favor bridge building at
this time. No man, except one with
a petty sectional spirit, ever advocated
state policy of building expensive
bridges before the completion of high
ways leading to the rivers.
Because two conventions controlled
by western Washington delegates and
supplemented by few band wagon
climbers from this section have en-

ket, the labor market, the shortage of

THE LAUGHTER OF THE FACE

Climates cater to this or that as re-
