Single Sex Standard Is
Proposed For
Bulgaria

SOFIA, Dec. THE single
standard is adopted as the
basis for social legislation in q
bill for the protection of chill
dren to be introduced by the
Ministry of Justice and Wor-
ship to the Bulgarian parlia-
ment elected last month.
The bill which is expected
to pass early in the session,
provides that parents guilty Of
certain social or economic of
lenses, such as theft, resulting
in conviction, are subject to
deprivation Of all rights Of
parenthood on the judgment of
q court.
The recognition Of the single
standard is new principle in
Balkan life, which has been
dominated for centuries by the
principle of the. Turkish re-
ligious and political conviction
that man possesses privileges
denied to women.

"Why, Puppy and l were playing"

"Well, it's funny we couldn't find

"We've looked everywhere and asked
everybody but they weren't there"
Just then Mister Punch, the con-
ductor-man, came along to punch the

Robert Redmayne Is Heard

| AS AsNuNtoy hS 40
This sudden apparition bewilder-
ed Brendon, for it argued much be-
yond itself. Surely it indicated
treachery and falsehood among
those he had Just left at "C1ow's

most uncomfortable that on this day

He swiftly determined that not

within his power to do so. Indeed
he felt little doubt that this would
happen. For that night there was

unusual amdAnt of exercise and

dressing at half past eight when

They drank tea at five o'clock and
an hour later the detective went or
his way. A general invitation had
been extended to him and the ole
sailor expressly declared that il
would give him pleasure to receive
Mark as a guest at any time. 1t was
a suggestion that tempted Brendor
not q little.
The moon had risen as he pursued
his lonely road and it shone clear
through a gathering scud that
threatened soon to overwhelm the
silver light. Clouds flew fast and
| above Brendon's head, telegraph
wires hummed the song of gather

ceeded as irregularly as the fitfu

Still deep in thought Brendor
trampcd on; and then, where the
road fell between high bank tt
the windward side and pine wooc
, on the other, he experienced one OF
the greatest surprises that life hat
yet brought him.
At a gate, which hung parable
with the road and opened into the
depth of copse behind, there stood
Robert Redmayne.
He appeared to recognize Mark, OF
at any rate regard him as an enemy
, for instantly he turned, plunged in
to the woods behind him, and dis
appeared.

Compares War Records.
In dealing with his war record,
Mr. Conner declared that he was the
only candidate In this race who could
show an unequivocal offer to enlist
in any capacity from buck private
up and declared that Bilbo alone was
making this an issue and that his
weapon was double barrelled model
of the one Samson used with much
better effect. "Bilbo is powerful
warrior in times of peace and
mighty peaceful man in time of war"
said Mr. Conner Miss Birkhead,
poor frail creature that she is, ran
him into the loft of his barn at Pop
larville. And though he told the
Mississippi soldiers as they left Jack
son for service that If defeated for
Congress he would meet them in Ber-
lin, he has never started toward Ber-
lin yet"
Mr.. Conner declared again that "I
was willing to go, | was unable to
go, l offered to go, and would have
gone but for the fact that President
Wilson, Congress and the adjutant
general of the state said my post Of
duty was here. i take off my hat to
the boys who fought in France. But
will never stand aside for lip pa
triot like Theo. Bilbo who says he
could not make me fight. He now
says he sent me word through another
would give me commission. If he
says l ever received any such mes
sage from him he is an extraordinary
piney woods liar"
"Bilbo knows Conner will fight"
said the speaker. "Ife found it out
when he tried to cover up that aw-
full situation at the insane asylum
and insisted on reappointing the same
superintendent though it was shown
that patients had worn the same
garments for months that some had
been frightfully scalded with water,
and though gross immortality was
seen to exist. We made him climb |
down. The superintendent was not
reappointed and Bilbo has hated me
ever since.
Finally, why all this sudden out
burst of patriotism from Bilbo when
four years ago he worked for Lee
Russell against an ex-soldier with
splendid record. Bilbo knows ! stand |

f Mr.. Conner made many friends by
his spirited attack and at every step
was stopped by people who sought
to grasp his hand and pledge their I
support and tell him good news OF
