MOTHERS OF FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON
By MARY ADRIAN

Historians have proved in the
case Of the Duke of Wellington as
with so many other men of genius
and greatness that his best gifts were
inherited from his mother. 1t is
rather interesting in this particular
instance, since there was at no time
any bond of sympathy between the
mother and son, and little love lost
between them.
Lady Wellington never understood
her son, probably because he was too
much like her. She thought him
stupid as a child. and totally de-
void of promise. She was frequent
ly heard to say. according to bio
graphers:
II vow to God. 1 don't know what
[ shall do with him" However, he
more or less took that out of her
hands, but the exercise of the very
same qualities that she possessed.
She was a woman. write the his
torians, of more masculine than
feminine temperament. possessed of
10 ordinary powers of mind and
body. She had a remarkable strength
of character, and an indomitable
will. together with an imperious
temper. All of these qualities were
inherited in their full strength by
her son, and served to make his
greatness. Probably had she been
q man greatness would have been
her portion also.
Lady Wellington was an ~ungracious,
though highly intellectual
she was stern and cold. her temper

We have heard many times that

The question of bobbing OF not

have heard many rumors which

husband goes much farther toward
producing the desired domestic tran

Bobbed hair, like the right to vote,

YOUR BABY AND NINE
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED
NIarasTnuS

NlufdSIhuS
Marasmus is an aggravated
stage of malnutrition in which no
matter what is done the child con-
tinues to stay stationary or contin-
ually loses weight. The cause may
be the failure at first to find a Tor
mula, which he can digest when
strong enough to nourish him. or
it may follow an active case of ind
gestion due to faulty feeding. When
children are given a very rich milk
they NAV progress on it rapidly at
first (always a bad thing) and then
pay up for it by a bad case of indi-
gestion.
Marasmus taxes the ingenuity
of doctors, since the cause cannon
always be found, and these babies
seldom a take enough milk tc
cause a gain in weight, and to force
them merely brings on a worse at
tack of illness which still further
retards their progress.
Too strong formulas, irregular
hours of eating, may lead to maras-
mus: in fact any routine which TAX
es the body's digestion.
The mother has n important
duty and that is to follow the loo
tors orders with accuracy. A child
in this condition is seriously i'll, and

NEGLECTED FRILLS
Would you keep your husbands love?

IN Would you keep your husbands love?
- Would you send him away each morning with an attrac-
I've picture of you in his memory? A picture that will help to
lessen the charm of the "other woman with whom he may
be thrown daily in his business life. A picture that Will
make him more anxious to return to you when business hours
are over than to accept the constant invitations of his business
associates to come on and be a good fellow and spend the
evening having a good time with the 'sbunch!'
Then beware of curl papers, boudor caps and kimonas
at breakfast time. An evening gown from Lucile's may do
much to charm a man. but make no mistake, a neat, trim MORN
ing dress is just as essential if you would hold him.
Many of the women who work SO very hard before mar
riage to captivate, make no effort whatever after marriage
to keep their husbands love. They have caught him. Now he
is theirs and theirs alone. With such reasoning they sit back
in perfect contentment and snug dissatisfaction. How diff
ferent to the glamorous c~ourtship days when they gave so
much time and thought to every detail of their appearance.
We are told that after marriage the glamour fades. Per-
haps in this very reason lies one of the secrets of its disap-
pearance.
Be sure that a slovenly, careless appearance in boudoir
cap and kimona at breakfast time is not one cause of the fad
ing of the glamour of your married life and your husbands
waning affection.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound Of alimony.

My oPSSAoi Sol opOlkuCAlj
 JUNEAU, Apr. 19.-A deluge of bills flooded the legislature this morning, which is the last opportunit yfor in- troductiOn except by unanimous con- sent. Twelve bills were introduced in both House and Senate, together with several memorials and resolu- tions.
 The most important of the bills include the election by popular vote of the territorial treasurer and the commissioner of education; fish con- trol commission bill introduced in both Houses in the shape of a resolu- tion for submission to congress for the enactment of the Grant bill, con- trolling the salmon industry and pro- providing three zones or districts,- western, central and southern, each zone to have different length fishing season. The western zone would have fishing season of twenty days; the central zone would have a season of thiMy days, and the southern zone operators could fish forty days.
 Two bills were introduced which af- feet slightly the School of Mines and Agricultural College at Fairbanks: one makes the faculty appointive by the board of trustees instead of the president; the other makes the terri torial treasurer ex-officio treasurer of the college.

PLANS FOR HARDING $ WESTERN TRIP
 UNDER WAY
NUMBER OF SPEECHES WILL BE CANCELLED UNTIL HIS RE-
 TURN FROM NORTH

WASHINGTON, Apr. 19.-Plans for President Hardings western trip have developed to point where detailed itinerary is under consideration at the White House. The President has been urged to curtail a number of speeches, the first of which will be made west of the Mississippi, in view of the fact that he expects to extend the trip to Alaska for inspection of problems of the administration there. A Sea trip to Alaska and over the government railroad will be made under the pres ent plans, will be made between the Presidents visit to Seattle and his trip to Portland.
 Just how long the Alaskan trip will take is a question which makes the selection of the exact speaking dates impossible. However it is expected the trip will take about twenty to twenty-five days.
 The Presidential party will leave Washington about the middle of June and he will be accompanied by Mrs. Harding, whom he feels the trip will greatly benefit.
