Worlds LONGEST Car Ferry.

The new railway ferry line, which
is being planned to run between Eng
land and Sweden, will be the longest
in the world. A tremendous ferry
boat with engines furnishing about
1900 horsepower is to travel daily
between the two Countries, bearing
upon its huge decks freight trains 48
cars in length. Besides this there will
be provisions for taking travellers
from the first to the fourth class, to-
gether with dining rooms, promenades
and other agreeable features. The
journey requires 33 hours. After ar
irving on land the freight train at
once proceeds upon the English or
Swedish tracks, as the case may be.
1t is obvious that a tremendous saw
ing both in time and in labor can be
thus accomplished.

MODERN DOLL WORK OF ART
Children Of the long Ago Were Salts
fled With Very Ordinary Counter
feits Of Nature.

II is interesting to contrast the
plump. really truly looking American
doll of today with the crude, legless.
long-armed wooden dollies with which
the little Egyptian girls used to play.
These Egyptian dolls had wooden hair
and funny long arms that reached all
most to the knees and they never had
any feet ar all, says the Boston Post.
For clothes all there ever was for
them TO wear was just a strip of cot
ton cloth wound round and round
their bodies like a bandage.
Worse than that, the poor little Mo-
hammedan children had to play with
headless dolls because the queer rul-
lngs of their religion would not allow
of any imitation of the human figure.
Biblical children, Esther and Ruth,
probably played with wooden dolls
very much like the Egyptian dolls.
never bit more beautiful.
Queen Elizabeth had a doll made of
tree bark. 1t was said to be $50
years old before it came into her pos
session and since she died it has
never been located.
Dolls began to get better about that
period and Mary Queen of Scots
owned a collection of dolls that would
move their arms and legs, they being
operated with springs. AS early as
1913 came dolls with voices that
would squeak. Wigs came in 1920 and
walking dolls in 1925, but they were
all queer and ENJOYABLE compared to
the delightful "mamma"-"papa" talk
ing, walking, winky-eyed, real curly
haired dolls that the little American
girl can have for her very own chill
dren.

FORGET PASSAGE OF TIME
Neither at Work or in the Hours of
Play Does 1t Pay to Watch
the Clock.

AT only one time does the average
human being measure time with eff
fort, and that Is when he Is goaded
by fear. Scare a man with impend-
ing disaster, with bodily danger or
with death and he becomes really ac-
tive. Time doesn't drag then. The
clock hands. if he took time to look
at them, would seem like racehorses
in their speed.
Don't be q clock watcher. Work
while you work with so much energy,
SO much interest that time doesn't
matter.
Play when you play with so much
abandon, so much enthusiasm that the
day passes without your measurement.
The man who measures time in
cycles or circles is wrong.
Time must be computed in a straight
line along which there is no backward
motion.
You can never have yesterday again.
If you wasted it, try and make today
do double duty. But you can't do that
If you watch the clock.-F. A. Walker

Marine Now Murrsy Stream.

WeolSly.
IL Chateau Thierry itself has tried to

Marine still reveals it's tale of O. CHASTITY

wooded scenery. Nowadays the Marine
writhes through q valley of tree corpses

surface Is covered with a thick, oily
scum. The stream flows with great
weariness. and as though in great pain.
Even then you must look beneath
the Inurky water to appreciate the fun
horror OF the Marine. The story Of
what this river has mirrored in its
troubled waters OF yesterday is best
told by the accumulation of rubbish
that cutters the river bed. There one

the gypsy caravan one frequently en-
counters on The roads. The briliian.

dead underbrush by the roadside. AT
first YOU wonder why these people who
depend so much on forasing, should Sc

More Mothercraft Lessons.

Those interested in improving the
conditions under which babies live
should get two studies just issued by
the childrens bureau. One of these is
q study of Akron. Ohio, and the other
of New Beford. Mass. Cities where the
conditions OF infant life previously
have been studied and reports made are
Manchester. N. H.; Johnstown, Pa.
Waterbury. Conn; Brockton, Mass, and
Saginaw, Mich.
The group rank In baby death rate
runs from the honor position of Sagi-
nav. with rate Of $40. to Manchester
at the other end Of the line. with rate
+ of t165. Akron had rate. of 85.7 and
New Bedford one OF 1909.
Both OF these studies teach, the im-
portance OF breast feeding. In Akron
the mortality OF the artificialfy fed was
more than four times that of the breast
fed. In New Bedford the ratio was
four and one-half to one.
1t has been said the bottlefed babies
were mostly in the poor families and es-
pecially in the families of the foreign
born and that these factors were re-
sponsible for the high death rate. This
was not true in this study. 1t never
has been true In any study. As rule
the foreign born mothers breastfeed
Their babies. Also, as rule, the very
poor mothers do the same. The great
tendency to bottlefeed Is among Ameri-
can born mothers and in the families
where the income is little above the
lower levels. In spite of these advant-
ages bottle feeding makes poor show
ing. as it always has done.
II anybody ever goes to New Bedford
and teaches all the newly arrived Portu-
guese women to bottlefeed, God save the
babies!
In Akron diseases of very early in
fancy, failure to get good start in life
ranked first, summer diarrheas second,
while colds, coughs, and pneumonia
made group that was close third. AS
conditions improve in Akron and else
where summer diarrheas become rela-
lively less important and winter spring
colds more SO.
In New Bedfard nearly 40 per cent of
the baby deaths We're due to diarr!ieal
diseases. The amount of sickness due
to this cause was six times as great as
1t was in Saginaw and four times as
high as it was in Brocton, The babies
which suffered most were those Of
Portuguese mothers. These newly ar
rived Portuguese women Go not know
how to feed their babies.
The death rate from colds and coughs
also was very high in New Bedford
The report says the infant welfare sta
ton is necessity in improving the
health rate OF babies
Inc pubic heaitn commission or New
York state is quoted as saying that in
every Industrial city there should be one
infant welfare station for each 29,nC0
population. Also that there should be
one public health nurse for each 2,G00
population. If we are anxious for the
babies OF this generation to be healthier
and stronger than those eff preceding
generations we must have agencies to
teach methercraft to the women. If
TN no
craft only from their mothers we win
: not make much progress. In fact
since our social life becomes more com
plicated year by year, the tendency wiz
be slightly backward. Lyirg-in hos

lare stations are necessary Tor pro-

Thus declared Or Walter Won Sim

"As regards the devastated regions,

It should be. done as in Brussels when

its labors to the degree that it re-
suited in nothing.
Secs Chance for New Plan.
"In my belief, there is good
chance that in few days q new ar
rangement based upon variable an
nuities may be discussed. But It
should be remembered, in determin-
ing the capacity of the country, that
there is also the question of psychol-
ogy.
Conditions of labor are important.
From this point Of view I am more
optimistic than others as regards
Germany. Nevertheless, whatever ar
rangement is concluded must take
into consideration the psychological
factor
IT am able to say that within Few
days the German nation will display
proof Of It's good intentions. Upon
that question I am sure that the
French people will prefer to put our
good will to the test rather than to
crush our country by force of arms.
Continuing to extend the sane
tons (by invasion of the Rhine dis
trict) the origin of which I see in
the psychology Of French public
opinion, constitutes an immense
danger, not only for Germany but for
all Europe

With extraordinary naivete, Ger
