 dice; May we never be nasty in judg-
 ment, and always generous; teach us to put into action our better i'm pulses straightforward and unafraid; Let us take time for all things; make us grow calm, serene and gentle; Grant that we may realize it is the little things that create differences; l that in the big things of life we are as one; And may we strive to touch and to know the great common wom- | ans heart of us all and O Lord God let us not forget to be kind.

GIRL BURNED 70 DEATH

PHOENTX. April 5G.-DeIphina b.
ca. little S-year-oid foster daughter OF
sir and Mrs. !? Baca. who live near
Paul Rodriguez store in the west end,
IN some way caught fire last Thursday
afternoon. the blaze starting in her
hair and burning her so badly that she
died the next day. though DR. Flett
did all that was possible to save her
life.
Just how the fire started doesn't
seem clear It is reported that the
Bacas were over town eating supper
at one OF the restaurants and that the
child. at home alone. borrowed some
matches from a neighbor and in strik-
ing one of them set fire to herself.
Both the Bacas have been questioned
closely by the police officers. She was
insured on the nineteenth of this
month by her foster-parents in the
Modern Woodmen of the World, for
$4,000. It is reported that the policy
had not been issued when the acci.
dent occurred. which likely means
that the insurance will not be paid.
