To PAT. springvills. Ut--Aftsr an
these weeks have discovered the
little nursery rhyme you requested
| right here under my hand almost but
| unrecognized. These quaint, charming
little verses were written by Niss
Laurence Alma-Tadsma and am
happy to print them here.
IF NO ONE EVER MAPRIES ME-
II no one ever marries mo
And l don't see why they should,
For nurse says I'm not pretty,
And I'm seldom very good
| If no one ever marries me,
l shan't mind very much.
1 shall buy squirrel In a cage,
And little rabbit hutch
l shall have cottage near n wood,
And a pony of my own,
And little lamb quite neat and clean
That l can take to town.
And when I'm getting really old.
At twenty-eight or nine,
L shall buy little orphan girl
And bring her up AZ mine.
Dear Helen Brooks:
l have always been under the i'm
preston that pink Is the color used
for the printed announcement for the
baby boy and blue for the baby girl.
but when this question came up recent
ly at little gathering there seemed n
difference of opinion and 1 decided to
ask you which is the proper color for
baby boy. Thanking you, 1 am
MISS VOGUE" Utah.
Yes. Miss Vogue" almost every one
you talk to seems to have their own
idea on this subject and in a recent
article by R. B. -McDougall for the en-
gravers Bulletin" he says: in the new
edition of Proper Forms an attempt
has been made to set some standard of
color for the birth cards. Our Oues-
tionaire Replies showed cities totalina
100000 people using blue for a boy
cities totaling 100000 pink for a bow.
we believe the majority should be cor
rect and think some record will help.
is not Imperative
when doubtful use white" 1t is not.
however, very clear why these colors
are appropriated by the new arrivals
II either sex. Perhaps the Mother
Goose jingles, Little Boy Blue" etc
las influenced America to lean toward
'lue for the boy. Russia also uses bIue
or the boy. In most Roman Catholic
of Europe blue is the girls
,olor. as 1t Is the color dedicated to the
5lessed Virgin, and the little girls are
onsecrated by being offered to the Wiz.
'ln France, however, seems to be an
Exception to the rule, blue being used
or the boy. And SO, because of the
Dove variance. and because through
heir Investigations they find that New
ork, Chicago, Cleveland and Buffalo
re using blue for the boy, whereas St
'ouls, Philadelphia, Boston and Wash
lgton use pink for the boy, they recom-
lend blue as the color for King Baby
10y.

II MILE LIMIT PLAN
IRRITATES ENGLAND
Even Bait of Allowing Sealed
Liquor in Ports is Likely
to Be Spurned.

London. = The American Govern
ment could not have chosen a more in
suspicious time to make the proposal
again for stretching the limit of the
territorial waters from three to twelve
miles, even as bait for granting for
eign vessels permission to enter the
American ports with liquor under seal.
Application of the dry edict has
caused irritation in all quarters. Even
some of the stanchest drys who are
anxious to see the rum running from
the West Indies and Bahamas ended
are not enthusiastic about the idea of
such compromise, for they will have
difficulty in persuading their adher-
ents that Great Britain is not being CO.
creed into putting the lid on the rum
running traffic by the promise of Lett
ting British vessels carry liquor into
American harbors.
The general view in political quar-.
ters is that Uncle Sam is turning the
thumb screw on John Bull to end the
West Indian traffic. But another as
pect of the situation which evidently
is not relished in the highest quarters
is the effort of the United States Gov
eminent to stretch the territorial linn
its. This, so it is viewed here, is not
a matter for casual arrangement, but
one which affects all nations, and
therefore there must be an interna-
tional conference. But there appears
to be no enthusiasm about calling such
conference.
The reparations problem, it is ar
gued, is big enough now to absorb the
attention of this and other countries
without heading into an international
parley which is sure to end in disa-
greement. Besides it is pointed out
that the British Government has only
recently turned down a Russian de-
mand for such a conference.
