Lillian silver Making Rapid Strides
for Niche With Sweet Slnuers


Philadelphia has budding poetess in
nine year -old Lillian Silver.
Lillian, who lives at 720 North Sixth
street and is pupil in the Fifth Grade
of the Kearney School Annex, Fifth
and Brown streets, has a natural feel
Ing for poetic expression and declares
that 1t will be her lifework She reached
that decision about two months age
and already has penned ten poems.
Two of her poems. The Poor Little
Girl and Dead Mama" express her
feeling for little girls in sad situations,
Thus In the latter poem she says:
.'pfy mama's dead. so sick IL rhe.
Oh, mama think an angel you'll bc,
And up In Gods tower you'll play all he
day.
And never a word will you say"
The youthful student Of the muse
bas very definite ideas on the construc

The 'Parenthood Of the State in .
cludes it's duty to see that the child Is
well born. BY strictest kind Of mar
riage laws, the State must forbid, as
far as possible, the bringing Of children
into the world unless they come from
healthy parents. The child must no
longer be the victim OF conditions over
which 1t has no control, but for which
society and the State itself is to blame.
When the State is imperiled, 1t calls
the child OF eighteen to defend II with
its life. When the child 10 imperiled,
It has q right to call on its over
parent, the state, to protect 1t with
its wealth. Il
The time win come when II will be
regarded as a crime against childhood
IL the State permits that child to suf-
to poverty or ignorance. Since It is

to feed the child"

The seriousness of that is like ly to be only such as Germany is will ing to make 1t. the feeling being that Germany can counteract that greatly if 1t so desires.

HEALTH AND sEAUTY

If your skin doesn't take cream well you can make an excellent lotion, for it by mixing 1-4 pound of strained honey, IA pound of sal soda and a pint of water. Heat the mixture but don't boil it
 The color of the hair depends upon the pigment deposited in the middle layer, its intensity depends on the arn- ount of pigment, or the presence of air cells in this part, due to sickness, old age, worry, shock, accidents and various other causes.
 We can have a clear, glowing skin. That is moderate health and absolute cleanliness plus a little common sense. A dry skin needs oils to feed it, an oily skin astringents; burned skins need oils and bleaches; the "city com plexion' needs cleansing with creams as well as soap and water. and all conplexions need watchful care.
 An easy way to make a good pre- paration for chapped lips is to melt together with gentle heat two ounces of white wax, one ounce of sperma- eel. Then add two ounces of strained honey Continue to heat and stir until well blended. Add in & thin stream four ounces of oil of almonds. Remove from the fire and continue stirring until the mixture is almost cold. Add any kind of perfume you wish.

NEEpLEWoRk NOTES

Very attractive curtains can be made for your pink bedroom by hem stitching white dimity with pink thread and putting a picot edge on in pink.
 Babys stockings. when badly worn at the knee can be cut down to sock length and a buttonhole edge crocheted around the top for finish. Use pale pink or blue mercerized cotton for the edging.
 Here is one suggestion made in marking hose for the boys in the fam fly that is quick and always ready. Use any little piece of gingham or lawn that could not be used for any thing else. A little strip about one inch long sewed on the inside Of the hose will save buying different yarns or markers.
 Ton are wise to make summer frocks of gingham, but you are unwise if you make them without first shrinking the gingham. On second washing, even, gingham shrinks a little so make the frocks little larger than you will need them, and then you will not have to cut them down for little daughter, as has been the case with some women who fashion their gingham frocks of unshrunk fabric. Probably the cheap CT gingham shrinks more than that of better quality.
 A laundry bag is a great improve | ment over the basket commonly used when taking clothes from the line. Ii can be made from two yards of heavy unbleached muslin. Make deep, strong hem at the top and fasten two hooks made of wire, and shaped like ordinary dress hooks, about eighteen inche; | apart on this hem. When taking dowr 1 the clothes the bag is hooked over the 1 line and can be easily pushed along as i the clothes are removed.

GOVERNOR OK KIeHr TRACK.

When Governor Lake calls together the emergency transportation commit tee and sets it to work dealing with the threatened strike on the railroads he does the very thing that is needed and does 1t at the right time.
 It is Of course possible that the strike l. will not cripple the transportation service as badly as the strikers plan or would like to have 1t. Nevertheless rhere is nothing like adequate prepara- ton. It is far better that it should be known through the committees efforts what resources there are that the state can call upon if it needs them and where they are. and to know 1t when it is needed even though/there is no strike than to have the strike and then begin to get busy to find out what can be done to protect the interests of the public and give the service that it of so much importance.
 There are good reasons to believe that should the railroad men leave their posts that industry and the general welfare would not suffer as seriously as it would have a quarter of 8 century ago under such conditions. There are those who are ready to devote their services 10 overcoming a tying up of transportation and there are great num- bers of auto trucks that can be called into seJice. This is of course known in a general way today. What the committee can do Is to know where and how well distributed such facilities are and by getting the information now be ready to make the best use of 1t at the earliest moment 1t is needed.
 Governor Lake takes the proper view Of the situation when he plans to pro- eect as far as possible the interests of he people Of Connecticut. There are ways in which the needs and conven- sence of the public can be served tenn porarily and suffering averted While some are at work endeavor4ng to pre- vent the threatened inconvenience and possible hardship 1t is only proper ths others should be doing what they car to insure a substitute service should conditions require 1t.

Rocks Varied History.

A report on the Dome of the Rock of Jerusalem is to be published and will be of great interest to the Mohamme- dan world. It may not be generally known that this place Is the third in ssnctity of all the sanctuaries of, Islam. and indeed for a short period 1t actual ly formed the Kibla toward which all Moslens prostrated themselves in pray ef. .
 Among the more important religious associations of this rock it may be men tioned that it was there David and Sol- omon were called to repentance, and on account of a vision David chose this site for his temple. From this same spot Mohammed ascended to the seventh heaven after his night journey from Mecca, and lastly it is to be the scene of the Great Judgment. The historical associations are not less striking, and such famous names as Omar, Abdel- malek, Saladin and Suleiman are all connected with the rock--Detroit News

 Enforcement it is to be realized Is not an easy task. It calls for the CO., operation of federal, state and local forces Instances are many where such cooperation is given and where it Is not, but one of the worst disclosures comes in connection With the conditions that have been revealed concerning fed eral enforcement authorities.
 In spite of the repeated efforts that have been made to improve conditions in the offices of certain enforcement off cials, it is plainly evident that the housecleanings were not started soon enough or made sufficiently thorough. Connections has an enforcement officer who is waiting trial under $5e,ee0 bail But the report from Pennsylvania to the effect that millions of dollars worth of liquor has been withdrawn rom pond because of permits which were fraudu- lently issued from the prohibition di- rector's office it shows that the govern ment mach ne for upholding the law has broken down badly.
 In New York the conditions revealed In the enforcement office maintained by the government has brought about the discharge of a score and half indi- viduals who were working hand in hand with the law violators. In view of the fact ther rart was necessary to rum running and bootlegging they deserved something more than a discharge.

SELLING OLD FORTS.

We have a certain fondness in this country for the historic. We Ike to visit or point out those spots which en- tered SO prominently into the making of the early history of this country. Therefore 1t will not be surprising if there is considerable opposition mani tested to the sale of large number st the old forts of the country as or de-ed by Secretary Weeks of the war department.
 It is 10 be realized that the depart ment Is not going to' part with any of the forts that are believed necessary for the defense of the coast. It Is not a policy of disarmament that is being put into effect by. Secretary Weeks for such posts have been obsolete for years and most of them probably nothing nore than frequently visited historic places.
 -A1 If to anticipate the passing of just such property from government 10 private hands action was secured in congress about 20 years ago by which Fort Griswold in Groton was turned over to the state of Connecticut to maintain and this has been done under LA6 leEllCn or a SpeCdai commission. since that time. The government has not d,eded the property away but it has net been under expense to maintain It. Like a number of other of the old forts, such as Fort McHenry where the Rag flew that inspired The Star Span gled Banner and others which have long held a prominent place in the ma Hons history and figured prominently In different wars there will be strong opposition to putting them into private hands for any Of the purposes for which they might be used.
 IL can be appreciated that where such forts are of no use and 8 steady ex- pense the war department might be anxious to get rid of deadwood, but if such is the case the opportunity of giv- Ing the states or cities the chance of taking over such property for preser- vzt1on ought to be first given before they are placed un5er the hammer, As tar as Fort Griswoid is concerned it would appear that the act of congress placing it in the care of Connectiert should serve to prevent any sale taking place there.

have a million of inhabitants, instead of -i<s present fraction of that number.
 Though not a seven -hilled city Washington has, as well as Rome, it's Capitoline Hill, commanding views scarcely less striking than those of the Eternal City.
 The tradition goes that while young surveyor, securing the neigh boring country, Washington had mark ed the advantage of this spot for a great city. The entire soil belonged to a few plain, easygoing Maryland farm CTS, who rode over it to Georgetown for their flour and bacon. One of these only David Burns, was obstinate about making terms, and the subse- quent rise of land in the western quarter of the city, which his farm house then occupied, rea1ered his little daughter in time the heiress of Wash ington, and confirmed his claims to historic consideration as the most con- spicuous grantor to the National Cap -ital.
 From procuring this choice spot on behalf of his countrymen, the Presf- dent conducted the negotiations in per- son, and the purchase of the Federal city was concluded upon just and even generous terms. Each owner surren- dered his real estate to the United States with no restrictions, except that of retaining every alternate lot for himself
 The Government was permitted to reserve all tracts specially desired at $125 per acre, while the land for ave- nues, streets and alleys should cost
 nothing. Thus the Federal Capitol came to the United States as sub-
 stantially free conveyance of half of
 the fee of the soil in consideration oi the enhanced value expected for the other half.
 | On the Fourth of July. 1851, the l cornerstone of that magnificent exten- sion of the Capitol which has render | ed it the most superb structure of its kind in the world, was laid with splen-
 did ceremonies, including a commem-
 crate oration by President Fillmore as-
 sited by"Daniel Webster, Secretary oi | State.

Hats for children that are developed with infinite care, and endowed with a sense of individualism, comprise col lection that includes modes ranging from infants sizes to sixteen year old girls.
 The average size hat enlists such fabrics as duvetyn, felt and velvet in it's composition, with particular empha- sis placed upon the duvetyn and felt models with an array of colors to fit well the program of colors planned for this season. The most popular shades at the moment are tan, brown, blue and red.
 Every hat is sewn and blocked by hand, and expresses distinction to a high order. The garnitures are also charming, using the favored trimming motifs of adult size millinery, in the approximately miniature sizes, Such trimmings as hackel pads. ostrich faneies, fur bands, lacquered quills and embroideries, are also reduced to pro- portions that are in keeping with the size of the little hats.

The best selling Of these plaid blankets include such combina- tions as pink, blue, orchid, brown, yell low combined with white.
