CHAPTER IL
A Clew Wanted.

When Edith opened the door she
found standing on the steps sweet
faced young woman, apparently little
more than girl. Behind her glim-
niered the twin lamps of an automo-
bile.
Quickly Edith stepped back and
opened the door wider. Come in ~
she invited.
The newcomer stepped in timidly.

am Nellie Archman. You telephoned
for my father"
"Yes! 1 am so glad you have come.
Your fathers secretary Is with Mr..
Morbach now"
"Mr. Akin?" For an instant Nellie
looked puzzled. Then her face cleared.
II suppose he couldn't find father and
thought it best to come himself" she
murmured. Il telephoned you that he
would come, you know, but later we
decided that he should go to look for
father and that I should come here
direct. l don't see how he managed
to outstrip me, but 1 am glad he did"
Edith nodded and turned toward the
closed door of the parlor. "Will you
see Mr.. Morbach?" she asked
But Nellie declined. II had rather
not" she said, "if Mr.. Akin is here,
he will do everything. only came in
case"
The door opened behind her and
some one came in hastily. Il got your
nj ',
and came over at once. Miss
Archman!'
Nellie had turned around. "Mr

Lisht InAuences Color

Some curious observations made in
Manchester, England, indicate that
light and temperature may have a
determining influence on the colors
Of flowers in different months. The
investigator observed tropaeolum, or
nasturtium plant, which showed three
types of flowers-yellow, yellow with
red markings and claret-colored.
Sometimes one type predominated
and sometimes another. In the or
spring of this plant he noticed that
the parti-colored and red flowers oc-
Cured only during fine. hot weather,
in the second week Of August. where
as during the cold. wet periods Of
July, September and October all the
flowers were yellow. By self-steriliz-
ing the flowers of different colors he
found that in the second generation
the color of the parental flower had
no determining effect, and he con-
cludes that temperature and light are
the governing influences.

MOTHER OF MIGRANTS
By LAURA MILLER

one woman cannot mother all the
million and half migrant workers de-
manded yearly by American industry.
The particular faction that Laura Par
ker helps consists of families who
work and drift through the canneries
and truck farms in New Jersey, Della
ware and Maryland.
Outbuildings, temporarily turned
into human habitations for the few
weeks of the camp, are usual. Men,
women and other children of the Polish
and Italian families employed carry
in the meager amount of equipment
that will enable them to exist while
they work from daylight until dark in
a field or cannery. Babies are uncared
for. Children run wild. Thievery,
gambling, drinking and bullying are
commonplaces. The annual cycle is
from city slum to berry patch, to vege-
table garden, to oyster bed, and back
again.
Is 1t possible for one woman to do
anything? 1t is for Miss Parker, be-
cause the Council of Women for Home
Missions is back of her. She is the
supervisor of stations established by
the council. stated by undergraduate
college and normal school girls who
work frequently without pay.
The actual work nearly always
means a fight with unspeakable filth.
Always 1t means making friends with
the mothers and babies. Sometimes 1t
means hundreds of dollars In equip
ment given by the employer; some
times only his allotment Of a building
and $40 a week for running expenses,
without which the council would not
attempt its work.
Imagine a nursery where 20 or 80
babies can be cared for. Perhaps one
bambino has been brought from "a
chicken house, where the only furnish
ings consist of two beds in which eight
people sleep, and packing box which
does service for both table and chairs"
Perhaps the slightly older children an.
nounce that baths give children
measles, mumps and whooping cough"
After the babies, cleanliness for the
next in size is rewarded by piece Of
candy for each bath. Gradually boy
volunteers make packing-box furni.
ture; girls like to put on the clean
gingham dresses of nursery assistants /;
a basketry class; dress-making class,
for the older girls and women when
cannery work lets up for day; proud
cooks and dishwashers for the daily
hot luncheon; occasional parties for
Darents at nOOntime or holiday
periods; Bible stories and songs; an
occasional day spent In distributing to
the men helpful pamphlets in their
own tongue, Registering Your Child's
Birth" or Courts of Law and Their
Use."
Out of all this comes to the migrants
the meaning of Miss Parker's slogan !:
"A good American keeps his body,
clothes and mind clean"

Then his secretary pulled him by the
arm and he bent to listen. "Eh I

Akin nodded. YES; I'm sure" he

Edith blanched. "What-what do

"MeanT' Archman laughed hoarse-

You're in with them, too. You think
you'll beat me, do you, miss? Well,
you won't. Tell your employer that,

ASK her whether I'm mad. Ask
her whether she Isn't the acting wom-
an who shared my son, Harry. Ask
her If she wasn't sent down here to

two red spots that burned In her
cheeks, her face was white. "Yesl"
