Grafton, they are of minor import
ance in racial advancement, compared
with heredity. Bad traits, or weak
traits, the character of detectives,
are transmitted to offspring. Yet
children are entitled in coming into
the world to some protection by the
state from the fatal penalties of a
defective heredity. Heretofore no
such protection has been afforded by
any state in the world The child re-
search bureau and the amendment to
the marriage laws prohibiting persons
afflicted with certain diseases and de-
fects from marriage relate to this
subject of race protection.
Children in industry, dependent
children, children in institutions,
mothers pensions are among the sub
jects of the children's code. There
are some thirty-four children's homes
in Kansas. According to the report
of the Board of Administration not
more than two or three institutions
can be considered up to the best
standards of today
The code commission has been
handicapped by lack of funds Never
theless it, has made a start in the
direction of service that must be
commended. The women of Kansas
could not have chosen a worthier aim
in their political service of the state
than such a general program.

Experts Discover Unknown Substance
Existing IN Soil

One of the most important dis
coveries in the science of soils has
been made by experts of the United
States Department of Agriculture
within the last year in the separation
of a hitherto unknown substance
which has been designated as ultra
clay, a gelatinelike substance, very
sticky and plastic when wet and
having in the dry state the general
appearance of resin. 1t appears to be
a silicate of alumnia, usually with
some iron and traces of potassium,
sodium, magnesium; and calcium,
whether combined or merely absorb
ed being a point not yet determined.
This ultraclay is believed to be the
principal factor in making the soil

Work Of he County Red cros. Nurse


Work Of ths County Red Cross Nurse
One Of the valuable pieces of work
done by the Red Cross since the wal
IS being done right here in Eli.
County Besides her many other ser.
vices such as visiting homes and
teaching classes. Mrs. Reed. the coun.
ty nurse, is examining school children
and advising parents about the weak
spots that viii prevent these children
from becoming healthy young people
if not given attention.
During December and January
Mrs Reed made 81 visits to schools
andaexamined pupils. She found
676Tweak spots which needed atten-
tions in these boys and girls. Most
parents attend to these corrections al
once for they are like the proverbial
stitch in time saves nine" Mrs. Reed
needs to know just how many cor
reetons are made and this she can
findsout If each mother will give the
doctor the slip of paper she sends her
telling what attention is needed. The
doctor returns this paper to Mrs.
Reed after he examines the child.
Many children in Ellis County do
not weigh up to the standard for their
age and size. More than one-fourth
OF these 723 pupils examined in the
last two months were ten per cent or
more 'underweight. In the Hays High
School Miss Morgan has started
nutrition class with these under
weight boys and girls, in which she
is teaching them what to eat to in
crease their weight TO standard.
Sometimes a physical defect such
as bad tonsils is the cause OF
underweight, so each of these
pupils in the nutrition class must
be examined by doctor and den
fist ITO see that he or she is in
perfect condition for the diet which
Miss Morgan recommends to bring
the desired number of pounds of
feshs
Besides this, Mrs. Reed hass Little

are being taught to care for their
health and that of baby brothers and
sisters. In Victoria the boys are given
athletic work for physical develop
ment while Mrs. Reed teaches the
girls. Mr.. Woodward of the Normal
school, is coaching the boys. In three
high schools are home nursing classes
also taught by Mrs. Reed.
All this work is helping to make
strong and able bodied future citizens
in Ellis County. 1t demonstrates

Weighing Mix Produced Gives True
Worth Of Cow
Reports coming to the United

States Department of Agriculture
ofen include stories of the surprises
which COW owners meet with when
they start keeping records of their
cows production For instance, in a
Missouri cOw-testing association there
was man who, when he entered the
association, did not appear to have q
very good herd; but among his cows
was a crippled, ten-year-old Jersey
named Goldie Old GoIdie led the
whole association, with an annual
production of approximately $500
pounds of milk and 526 pounds of
fat, and an income over cost Of feed
amounting to 1857, in spite OF the
fact that when the test started she
had already gone three months since
freshening. The amusing part of
Goldie's record IS that her owner
tried to sell her just before she went
on test, for SIS. Six months later he
refused S2T5 for her.

Kansas Women in Politics


When it was seen that women were
to become enfranchised the question
was widely discussed what women
would do with their new rights and
political opportunities. There were
those who feared that they would
plunge into some sort of radicalism,
others who believed they would be
unduly conservative and still others
who predicted that they would vote
just as their husbands voted" and
support or oppose the same sort of
measures
In Kansas we have an indication of
what wonens interest is in the state
in the report of the Kansas Children's
Code Commission. Whatever it is,
this is what women are thinking
about. This is distinctively their pro-
gram. This is the sort of thing that
women are and will be interested in
as a factor in politics and govern
ment.
The code bills are creditable to the
women of Kansas, to their intelli--
gence and their heart, and these bills
are peculiarly entitled to the consid-
Grafton of the legislature. For many
years. the legislature has given close
attention to all code bills in behalf OF
better hogs, cattle, sheep and horses.
Anything that promised greater
wealth, more property, higher profits
was sure Of considerable hearing.
These bills which represent Kansas
Womanhood make another sort of ap-
peal. They are for better family life,
nobIer homes, healthier children.
The other day girl 1s years old
left her farm home and came to To-
peka. where she is under the protec-
ton and care of friends of her family,
. gocd family. The young man re-
spoussble for her condition also left
the farm and has Topeka job. He
laughs at appeals to him as respons-
ibIe for the maintenance of his child.
There is a good deal of this casual
bringing children into the world and
leaving the rest to the weaker parent.
But under the paternity bill in the
wonsen's code it viii not be SO easy.
The bill requires physicians and mid
wives to report births of illegitimate
children Immediately to the local
County attorney, and requires him to
summon witnesses and find the
father. The bill. gives the child the
fathers name. thereby protecting
children from the injustice Of iilegit-
imaey, and requires the father to sup
port his child.
Among the most extensive OF the
wonisn,s code bills is the Grid re-
search bureau measure. The bill re-
ouires study of dependent, delinquent
and defective children and Of the
causes of dependence, delinquency
and sdefectiveness, together with pro-
pertreatment, and most important of
all. practical methods of prevention.

The Jury-Twelve Good Women

The regular meeting of the Carls-
bad Woman's Club Tuesday after
noon was featured by a mock trial.
which created no end of fun for those
who participated as we'll as for those
who were spectators. The personnel
OF the court officials was as follows.
District Judge. Mrs. F. G. Tracy;
district attorney, Mrs. Van Vie; cl-
ERIK OF the court, Mrs. Delbert NJ,
Jackson; bailiff, Mrs. Richard judi
kins; city marshal, Mrs. Myron X.
Clark The particular case to engage
the attention of the club was that
of the State of New Mexico VS.. one
of the club ladies', who was charg7
ed with grand larceny, in the steal
ing of a car. She was most ably de-
Tended by Mrs. J. M. billiard. Wit
nesses we're examined and their tes-
timony ~impeached as in sure enough"
trials, and many amusing instances
and much irrevelant testimony was
brought out. The jury. twelve good
women, brought in a verdict of not
guilty as they could hardly fail to
do after the eloquent speech OF the
attorney for the defense. The judge
summed up the evidence in a fair and
impartial citing the law in
the case quite as any lawyer might
do.-Carlsbad Current.

You know a real friend when you

from the understanding which exists.
You know from the sympathy that
radiates from that person. Human
beings are all more Or less alike in
