THE WOMAN AND THE BABY
RV Dir Frank Crane

She was such little thing, just girl,
made to be loved and taken care of, and her
face was round and comely
She came into my office and asked me a
question which, of course, l could not an
sWer, but asked it as unaffectedly as a child
would ask a stranger on the street where her
mother had gone.
She wanted to know where she could get
work.
She sat down in the chair the other side of
the table and talked and as she spoke the
tears softly flowed down her cheeks, for she
Wept easily as the unfortunate do, who weep
much and do not make much fuss about it.
You see, she had baby to take care Of.
And she was not married. The baby had no
father.
It was a good baby, she said, healthy and
strong, and had never been sick a day
She was paying twenty dollars a month
now for it's keep-away from her.
And she wanted there the tears gushed
softly, but she made no whimper nor grim
ace, but talked calmly on-she wanted it
because-because-
Yes I said, I understood.
She had had place and worked hard,
but her fingers had cracked so, now that it
was getting cold weather, she could not do
any more scrubbing. And she showed her
hands to prove it.
And she thought that maybe~I might know
of some one who would like to give her work,
where she could have her baby with her. A
charity organization was helping her, but,
you know, nobody wanted the baby.
And at nights she couldn't get to sleep
for thinking of the little baby and who was
looking after it, and if it was all right, and
everything. And she looked ashamed, as if
Of course she ought to go right to sleep and
forget all about it when night came.
So she talked. And I spoke as kindly as
could, but the gist of it was-I could do
nothing
And she went out.
And somehow I felt as one would feel if
he were on raft, and a woman from the
wreck had floated by and reached up, and he
had said ''There is no room on the raft"
1t was none Of my business, of course, and
there are hundreds of such cases, and all
that, but God forgive me just the same for
not knowing just what to say to her and how
to help her!
The woman and the baby! We pirate
much of our honoring motherhood, but Is
there any one to whom the world is colder
than to the woman with baby?
Does not the Mother deserve as much hon
or as the Soldier?
There's a picture of the Blessed Virgin
on the wall, with the Child in her arms,
and she seems to look at me today in a way
that makes me uncomfortable and guilty.
The crime Of the world has splashed it's
mud on me-

In the Desert

THE insomnia, the reveller. the milk
man and it may be host of others
will feel touch of sympathy when
they pick up book of New Mexico poems
by Alice Corbin and, from the verse. "Tn the
Desert" this description take
"Once every twenty-four hours
Earth has a moment of indecsion;
Shall I go on?-
Shall I keep turning?-
Is it worth while?
Everything holds it's breath.
The trees huddle anxiously
On the edge of the arroyo,
And then, with a tremendous heave,
Earth shove6 the hours on toward dawn"
Most of us have known that moment in
the night, tn little span between the dark
ness and the dawn when vitality is at IS
lowest ebb, when communion seems closest
between this mundane sphere and the unseen,
when life, as we'll as Earth, appears to hesitate
as a swimmer before the plunge, before it
spins on tow; the day.
1t is the breathless hour when witches, in
the olden days were reputed to ride their
broomsticks into the path of the waning
moon; when, i'll more modern times, the
poker players luck changes, when good fell
lows decide whether to end the party or mot
g home until morning." the hour when
wakeful children think of these unanswer-
able puzzles they PROFOUND to their elders
next day, and alarm clocks, ouzzing from
ones 1eighbors domicile, prove that, no mat
ter how wondrous and beautiful Nature has
made the universe, man can yet invent fiend-
ish methods to ruin it,
earth shoves the hours on toward dawn"
it is pretty phrase; tn pity is that Earth
should perform her labors to the accompan1-
ment of alarm clocks rafting milk bottles
and the shaking down of the furnace by the
janitOr.

4 "Sbud" Suberstit;op

IF there is any virtue whatever in super
stition and coincidence the current year
will see a smashing of all records in the
profits to be made from potatoes.
This conclusion is drawn from glance at
the agricultural history of these United
States, as set forth by reports of the Depart.
ment of the Interior and the Department or
Agriculture
These reports show that between the hum
BILE potato and the figure zone" there is a
peculiar but marked, affinity, for the years
which end in the figure "one' are the big
potato years of the record.
Thus, during the past three decades, the
census bureau shows that the big money IN
potatoes was made IN 1891, 1901 and 1911.
The Department of Agriculture not only con-
firms this report but goes further and in
forms us that 1901, 1911, 1921 and other
zone" years were also bumpers for the potato
crop.
It is true that there have been larger
Yields of potatoes during other years than
those ending in cone" but the records show
that in these "off years." so to speak, the
farmer never reaped the profits from spuds
that he did from the significant one years.
Of course, ne who trusts to superstition In
matters Of farming is playing tricky horse.
For agriculture, one of the oldest of the
worlds pursuits, has progressed long dis
lance from those dark days in the dawn Of
history when the nomadc peoples of the
world believed that the blood or the sacrifIcial
victim caused the grain to sprout and never
began their sowing season without an offer
ing to the gods. Yet. even in this enlightened
day. there is Just enough touch of the super
stitious in all of us to place some faith in
the prospect for the potato growers, 1921
| will bring home the golden fleece.
