The state department of archives and history has been requested, in a letter received Tuesday. by the Uni versity of Chicago to sell to that in- stitution any duplicate files of'news- papers that it would be willing to dispose of. The letter stated that the university is trying to build up it's newspaper collection, and is anxious to obtain files of papers published in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Gin cinnati, Baltimore and Washingt ton. Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owen, director of the department, stated in refe- renee to this offer that the news papers possessed by the department are not for sale at any price.

back home for Christmas, but now his
work had sent him across the CONT

the trip.
He had some excellent new friends
and he was going to have Christmas
dinner with them. And the family
from home had sent a beautiful Christ
mas box-every member of the family
had sent q present.
It had been tied with holly and red
ribbon and he had opened il Christmas
Eve.
But now it was Christmas morning
and he was just a little bit homesick.
Yes, just a little bit-perhaps it was
more than a little bit!
And then came the postman's ring.
He had received all his presents,
cards, too, from mis- friends at home
who would not send presents, but who
had remembered him.
Yes. he had been very fortunate.
The inconsistencies he felt was only
natural And then he opened the small
package which the postman's ring had
brought 70 him.
It was a photograph of his mother,
and It arrived on Christmas day.
And under it was little note, just
a few words of love and devotion and

MATERNITY ACT IS
UPHELD BY JUSTICE

WASHINGTON, March The fed
eral maternity act has been upheld by
Chief Justice Mccoy in the District
of Columbia supreme court. The de-
cision was made in the case OF Mas
Bachusetts woman who challenged the
validity Of the act on the ground
that 1t gives the federal government
control over state governments by
prescribing for the care of mothers
and children.
The court ruled that the law comes
nnder the general welfare clause" OF
the constitution. An appeal was
noted, and the case will be carried to
the United States supreme court.
The maternity act was passed IN
November, 1921. It's purpose is to les
sen the frightful mortality among
mothers at childbirth and among chill
dren less than one year old. Where
states appropriate money to educate
mothers along lines laid down by the
federal government. the latter wifi ap.
propriate an amount of money equal
to that appropriated by the state.
The campaign will include visiting
nurses. There is no compulsionscon-
nected with this endeavor. and &C
ceptance of this education and vista
tions are optional with mothers.

ABSENCE

HOW big little house CA be
When ell have gone away
And left no one at home but mel
How dreary. grim and gray
The shadows are ct eventide,
When lone and tired come
And have no one to sit beside
Ne when at last I'm home.
The hall seems leagues Of distance
wide,
Each room q vast estate;
Dark forms In dusky corners hide
And terrors lie IN walt.
Deep silence reigns, and over al
The lonesome shadows creep;
list to hear q soft football
From ont the silence deep.
No welcome laugh. no smiling face.
No eager. running feet
To meet me as / near the placer
No kiss from lips so sweet.
A barren isle in widespread sea;
A rock in desert wide;
No hands that beckon unto me
Near home at eventide.
And vet, ere morning sun awakes
feel presence sweets
Dream faces dreary fancy breaks
And bring q joy complete.
I feel the touch Of little hands,
See smiles Of childish glee:
And as from far-ofR Falryland
My children come to me.
Der iow-hung hills and valleys vide.
Far from the city's strife.
Midst country scenes where Joys abide
Are children dear and wife.
