UNFATHERED CHILDREN.

Illegitimacy laws in this country
are VIGOROUSLY defective and greatly
inferior to such legislation in most
European countries. There has been
a strong effort in recent years to
remedy that, SO as to enforce par
entail responsibility and give the
child born out of wediOck fair
chance. This effort has now cul-
minated in uniform illegitimacy
act prepared and recommended TO
the various states for adoption by an
eminent legal body, the National
Conference of Commissioners on Uni
form State Laws.
There is nothing revolutionary in
the proposed law, according to the
Children's Bureau of the u. S. De-
partment of Labor, which is support
ing it. II leaves open the questions
of the child's status and inheritance
the support of the child until it is
old enough to take care of itself.
Both parents are made responsible
for the child's maintenance and edu-
cation. The father is made liable
for the expenses of the mother
pregnancy and confinement, and
where paternity has been judicially
established or admitted, the fathers
obligation is made enforceable against
his estate.
Some states have excellent laws on
this subject already, but the trou-
BILE is that nearly always they can
be avoided by the father going to a
different state. The proposed meas
ure is intended mainly to obviate
that difficulty. In justice to an
unoffending and unfortunate class
OF children of whom $4,000 are
horn in the United States every year,
the law ought to be adopted.

warships often seized American

land, but actually supposed to be
destined to Germany.
Nevertheless. Secretary Hughes
has some hope that Downing Street
will be able to see it's way clear to

since the American representations
were made. and no official reply

an active factor in the saving OF

of fire and explosion.
In the course of tests conducted
bv the Bureau Of Mines in the bu-

on the coal face were heard, by
means of the geophone, at dis

On a suspended pipe line light
hammering with the knuckles was
detected ut Il distance of 1900 feet.
Ordinary talking and singing could
BE detected through $50 feet Of
solid coal. BY the use OF two geo
phones, one instrument to each ear,
ii is possible to determine the di-
rcction from which sound is com
ing through the earth, and thus to
locate the approximate position of
the entombed miner, bureau experts
claim The bureau has given rec
concentrations for signal code of
poundinGs by sledge or other means
which will establish communication
between the rescuing party and those

UNOFFICIAL INFORMATION

Thus far the negotiations with
Netherlands and possibly other
the British Government have been
carried on, for the most part,
through the British Embassy here
The information furnished by Sec
rotary Hughes has been CLEANED
from the reports of American Con-
sular officers abroad and from
American prohibition enforcement
officers operating with the so-ealled
DRY Navy"
This information indicated that
numerous British ships are engaged
in the traffic and that British
owners and shippers are making
fortunes almost overnight. The
method is for the merchantmen fly
ing the British flag to carry a cargo
Of liquor from some port in the BaA
hamas to a point off New York or
some other American port. and
well outside the three mile limit
Small, swift power boats. usually
manned by desperate characters,
then come alongside and take over
the cargo OF "wet goods" for dstri.
button among the wholesalers and
retailers on shore
Appears. however, that the skip
pers of the British ships have
been practicing duplicities upon
the American dry navy when
pressed too hard for comfort EX-
perience shows that these ships as
general rule are provided with two
or more sets of clearance papers.
and that these are used as circum-
stances may demand. One of the
proposals Secretary Hughes has
made to the British Government is
that stricter supervision he given
in British ports regarding the issu-
ance Of ships papers.
Offers Reciprocal Plan
The second phase OF the Ameri-
can proposal contemplates re-
cip"ocal agreement between the
United States and Great Britain
whereby the agents OF the one gov
eminent would be permitted to
search the ships OF the other out
side the three-mile limit
This Government has been care
tul TO make it plain the arrange
ment would be reciprocal; that is
10 say. that Great Britain would
nave the right to search American
hips Just as the United States
would have the right to search
british ships. What the British
would expect TO find on American
ships is not clear. unless it might
be arms and munitions for Ireland
or India.
Ticklisn Question
Secretary Hughes is well aware
that this question OF search on the
lish seas Is ticklish one, Many
timee IN American history il has
become an international Issue, nota-

RIO GRANDE PARK.

The City Commission has authorized
the city attorney to begin condemnation
proceedings preliminary to the acquisition
of property for the proposed Rio Grande
Park. This is a definite step. This
action may yet be forestalled if the own
ers of the property in question can be
prevailed upon to emulate those public
spirited citizens who have already agreed
to convey their land as a gift to the
people. There are few, if any, cities in
the United States comparable with Albu-
querque that do not boast public park,
a place where the populace may fore.
gather on holidays and on the occasion of
public ceremonies. In a city one of
whose proudest claims is its unequalled
climate, no public improvement would be
more conducive to the health and hap
piness of its people than an open-air
playground. The City Commission de-
serves the whole hearted and active sup"
port of every inhabitant of the city so as
to enable it to make Rio Grande Park
an accomplished fact.

AS OTHERS SEE 1T.

An Eastern newspaper, commenting on
the report that Senator Jones received his
nomination by reclamation, says that he
gave all that that office in New Mexico
was worth. To one who has never been
in New Mexico or mingled with its
people, this state is the land of cactus and
coyotes, tamales and frijoles!
What have California, Kansas and
other Western states done to make their
names synonymous with political pro-
gressiveness and to have rid themselves
of the odium and ridicule which, up to a
few years ago, were associated with
them? But New Mexico alone is still
regarded as a desert waste and the
stamping ground of wild Indians.
New Mexico has rare opportunity to
distinguish herself by sending a woman to
congress. Mrs. Otero-W Warren is a woman
of ability and is representative of the
women of the state. Her lifelong knowl-
edge, acquired through public activity,
her acquaintance with and understanding
of our people and our institutions are
proof of her special fitness to go to Wash
lngton in behalf of the whole interest of
the state. Her nomination was not
prompted by any other reason than to
give women that representation to which
they are by right entitled. New Mexico
is IN unique position to take the lead
IN this respect, while the majority of our
states still regard the feminist movement
IN politics as an innovation to be avoided.
notwithstanding the perfervid oratorv of
statesmen in search of votes.
