Phipps on the Maternity Bill

Senator Phipps Of Colorado does
not hesitate to declare against the
so-called Sheppard-Towner maternity
bill and other such legislation classed
as paternalistic. The senior senator's
objection to the legislation is voiced
In a reply he made to a night letter
received from Mrs. Adrianna Hunger
ford of Denver, president of the Colo
RADIO Women's Temperance union.
Mrs. Hungerford had wired that such
legislation would help to put our
country on par with others in this
respect" He said:
acknowledging the receipt of
your night letter, regret to inform
you that am not in accord with the
views of your association as to the
necessity of the so-called Sheppard
Towner maternity bill at the present
time. There has been no evidence
produced to show that our country is
behind others in the matter of proper
care Of mothers and children. There
is a strong feeling that this proposed n

Her conclusion was drowned ont "oh, Florence, say not sol Say not so, Florence Say not sol"
 The hateful entreaty still murmured In her resentful ears that night, as she fell asleep and she passed into the beginnings of a dream with her lips slightly dimpling the surface of her pillow in belated repartee. And upon waking, though it was Sunday, her first words, half s1umbrous in the silence of the morning, were, "yile thingsm Her faculties became more alert, during the preparation of a toilet which was to serve not only for breakfast, but with the addition of gloves, a hat, and blue velvet coat, for church and Sunday school as we'll 1; and she planned a hundred ven- geances.

Herbert in the next pew in church, and Henry in the next beyond that, were perfect compositions in smugness. They were cold, contented, aristocratic; and had an imperturbable understanding be- tween themselves-quite perceptible to the sensitive Florence-that she was q nuisance now capably disposed of by their beautiful discovery of Say not sol" Florence's feelings were un- becoming to the place and occasion.

 Florence and Patty occupied them selves indoors for half an hour; then went out into the yard to study a moIe's tunnel that had interested Flor ence recently. They followed it across the lawn at the south side of the house. discussing the habits of moles and other matters of zoology; and finally lost the track near the fence, which was here the "back fence" ]" higher than their heads.

 The municipal garage is an under taking that has proved decidedly sue ccssful in the six months since it was opened. Various comments of an ap Dreciative nature have been made by city officials from time to time. To Superin intendent Lucey more than little of the credit is accorded be- cause of his splendid mana cement of g fairs that has made the garage one of the most efficient and profitable de partm ents of the city government.

EV- cry defect, even of the smallest and UnimpOrtant character, is remedied and the first indication of a weaken ed part of the intricate machinery, instead of being allowed to spread and grow worse, is immediately called to the attention of the mechanics for repairs.
 In this way the average life of a car is considerably heightened, ul- timateIy resulting in a saving in the cost of new machines to the city, and turnover, which is regarded by au- loss on every car turned into man ufacturer.

 While I cannot make any yearly comparison of the cost of storage, re- pairs, accessories, oil, gasoline, etc, I can state al this time that the saving in garage rentals will and by having group insurance such as we now have, will exceed S15, 900 per year. This is more than twice the interest charge on the amount expended for this gar ago.
 There are 73 motor vehicles owned by the city now stored in the garage, and during the first five months 869 repairs were made in these cars at the total cost of s9,06O.S9.
