as a means for improvement of the na- tion's future citizenship took the form of practical measures. Hundreds of cases are cited where not only provisions were made for better conditions in the rearing of children, but thousands of children are being taught to observe rules and regulations and follow. sys- tems of health in their own behalf.
 The first observance of May Day in the interests of child health was largely educational. Its purpose was to awaken in those having the responsibility of chil- dren a more direct appreciation of the value of the work, and a realization of what it means in the nations future de- velopment. The results were far beyond expectations, and already numerous projects are under way in nearly every part of the country to provide practical plans for hygienic betterments. It is be- lieved that valued permanent founda- ton has been laid in this work, and that each year will show decided advance ment in results.

The Added Something
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The best part of anything is the added something.
 The other night violinist stood up to play in cafe. There had been music all evening, to which nobody listened. He had but given few strains, when the chatter of tongues and the chatter of dishes stilled He was heard in breathless silence. When the last vail of the strings died away in sad little cadence there was a moment of hushed silence, for there were tears in every memory: then came a burst of warm applause. For there is fid- dling-and fiddling. And it is the added some thing that reaches the heart.
 In the salon where all the foremost ar- lists hung their paintings there were many works of perfect technique, and some that won the prize, but in one corner the crowd all day long gathered about small picture of girls face, and many an eye was moist as it turned away. The picture did not take q prize, I do not know what technical excel lepeies it lacked but it took men and women, took their souls and struck from them rare harmOnies of feeling. It had the added some- thing.
 On the mountain is rock and snow and rough pine trees, but when you gaze at it from the valley and see the white clouds hover by it, and the setting sun throw it's golden veil upon it., and its gorges fill with deep blue haze, it is not of rock and snow and tree you think, but of that added something that makes mountains harbingers of heaven.
 About everything there is something else: and that it is which we love or hate.
 Every voice has it's over tones Every face has it's invisible face that peers through and is seen by our spirit.
 The cross is but two pieces of wood but what ages of aspiration are behind them!
 The rose is very like the cabbage in it's formation, but around the rose what spirits of grace play unseen!
 It is not what you say to me, it is how you say it, the inner meanings you make me feel to be concealed in it.
 Poetry, love, beauty, harmony, these are nothing; you cannot weigh them, eat them, nor wear them; but life feeds on such noth- ings.
 A famine of bread would be terrible, but a famine of beauty, of love, and of courage would be far more terrible.
 "Alan shall not live by bread alone" it is written.
 Tastes, flavors, impressions and other airy matters are the necessities of the soul.
 All of which makes living and loving a simpler affair. For if I have in me that added sOmething," that spirit of love and goodness, can be very careless, and do as I please, and those who love me shall be pleased with me. :.
 When you say there is something about that woman or man like" you have said enough. Don't explain. It is the some thing about each of Vs that is the important thing.

WARRIOR GOES IT ALONE

The final separation of the manage ment of the Warrior barge lines author ized Sunday is but the consummation of a plan long contemplated and which friends of the Warrior have long per- ceived as inevitable if the waterway was ever to fulfill it's complete function. With the management of the waterway centralized at New Orleans it was nat ural that New Orleans and not Mobile should be regarded as the base of the service. Such a conception was alike harmful to the waterway and to Ala bama's seaport.
 Under the new plan there will be con- centrated and direct effort to stimulate barge traffic between the various pro- lducing centers of the interior and Mo- lille. The Warrior is not alone a car fer for the goods produced in Alabama. EWith it's constantly multiplying rail con- 5nections with the North and Middle West the waterway is gradually offering cheap and expeditions transportation to sea- board by the most direct routes. Es- pecially is this true for goods destined for passage through the Panama Canal, and for Central America, the Windward Isles, Cuba and the West Indies. The route by way of Mobile, because of the lesser rail distance, is also shorter by some hundreds of miles than the route through North Atlantic ports from North ern and Northwestern producing centers
 Of particular interest to the people of Alabama is the impetus the new plan will give to the development of the sea- port. As is well understood, the con- struction of port facilities with public credit is limited by the return the initial facilities may be made to pay on the in- vestment. The only way to make these facilities pay is to increase the business that passes through them. The Warrior is one of the chief logical feeders of Mo bile in addition to and supplementary to the rail service. All that can be done to increase the Warriors capacity and

STATES HAVE THE POWER

Baltimore physician writing in the New York Times says that the proposed child labor amendment gives Congress unlimited power over all minors under 18. This" he de- clares lis pure and unadulterated Bolshe- vism." Lest any one be frightened by that, it might be said that the 48 state legislatures have always had just this unlimited power. There is no question of the authority of the Massachusetts General Court to decree that every child shall go to school until he is 1Sr or that no child under IS be employed in any gainful employment. The way in which this power has been used by the several states has often been criticized, but no one ever ques- tioned it's existence, and the criticism has been mostly of the failure to establish proper safeguards around ichildren.-New Bedford Standard

Bide DudIey's Rhymes
WHEN FATHER WAS YOUNG

When father was twenty, he loves to re- late, there wasn't q man anywhere in the state on whom the girls lavished the favors and smiles that fell to his lot just because of his wiles. He's modest he says, but he'll never forget the way they adored limits in his mind yet and when mother wed him the shock was severe to dozens of fair ones around, far and near.
 When Dads looking backward like that, l have found, it's when he thinks mothers not hanging around. His heart-wrecking con- quests oft bring him regret, You'd think father won ev'ry sweet thing he met Oh, he was a devil when he was a youth. He even admits it, nay, swears it's the truth, and when we are awed father quickens his pace and shines as rascal all over the place.
 One night he was talking when mother came in. She caught what he said and her face wore a grin. "Oh, piffle I' she muttered. You're just an old fool. Why tell such big stories? You're crazy-keep cool Twas pity that made me become Mrs. Brown. You know at least seventeen girls turned you down. So stop all that bragging. It's silly-yOu must '" And father went out in the kitchen and cussed

Trees
(Dnna Hill in The Bookman)

(Dnna Hill in The Bookman) When the winter wlnds Race over the ground, Drunk with cold and strength. When the granite rocks Hide in the deep snow. The tree is there, Alone on a high hill. Combing the icy gusts With grinding frozen boughs. Or.
 When the gentle winds Slide across green fields In a summer sun. The tree is there To wave cool shadows Over the thirsty grass. The tree is there, Etched against a moonlit sky, Singing hush, hush.

The Higher Education
 The story comes to s. G. Srigley by word of mouth that a certain professor, stickler for punctuality, insisted that everyone in his class be present when the attention bell rang. He would always be ready to begin on the stroke of the hour, or they might con clude. he said. that he was dead and put someone in his place.
 The class arranged with a member of an upper class to detain the professor in the corridor.
 Accordingly, one day, when the professor came to class forty-five seconds late he found a large black collie with wide collar occupying the professorial seat. The "prOf' took one sharp look at the solemn class snapped his fingers to the dog that imme- diately came to him, and said Nice doggie nice doggie," batting him out through the doorway, Now run upstairs to your own class. We teach only puppies down here."
