Moths Easy to Mislead
 With Imitation CamphOr

Essen, Germany, May 5.-Millions of "camphor" or moth balls. rolling about the world today. are not true camphor spheres at all, according to German scientists who were respop- sible for the production of synthetic product which has deceived vari- ous kinds of experts including the we'll known moth.
 Most of the real camphor comes from camphor trees growing on the jungled mountain slopes of the in terior of the island of Formosa, off the China coast. Synthetic camphor is just as good" for the moths, it is contended by the chemists. as the real thing. but not quite so beneficial. it is admitted, for ''colds In the head"

 The crib should be placed away from direct sunlight and protected from possible draft. As bed, . good-sized clothes basket well pad ded, Is very satisfactory. There need not be a great deal of expense in the equipment.
 Changes of clothing should be easily available, and a mother may be saved many steps by careful ar- engagements of drawers containing necessities.
 Daily airings and stunning should be given the room. Do this when the baby is out riding in the carriage, and see that the room is warmed when the baby returns.

A nursery! Of course there would have to be one now that baby had arrived in the Mann house.
 Mir. Mann wondered why he hadn't thought of 1t sooner and started go- ing from room to room trying to figure which one to choose and how best to fix it up.
 After a consultation with a builder conversant in such matters. Mir. Mann had learned that 1t is desirable to have an open fireplace in the nursery. That insures a good circulation of air.
 The room should be simply outfitted and with few dirt.catching hangings. It should have plenty of windows. be light and airy, and capable of good

 Miss Adams glanced round; Evans rose to his feet. A tall man stood in the doorway, looking from one to the other inquiringly. "Is Mir. Fisher in? oh, rood morning. Miss Adams" Miss Adams smiled and simpered; she was pleased to be so recognized in front of Evans; she thought it might impress him with her im- portance.
 Good morning." she said. She scraped her chair back along the floor, and rose.

 Thank you. no; I'll look in again this afternoon. You might tell him I called?"
 He went away, shutting the door after him. Y.
 Evans swung around in his stool.
 cWho's that?" he asked. Miss Adams answered, with a nne show of unconcern:
 That? Oh. I forgot you didn't know: that's David Bretherton."
 "Really!"
 Evans looked deeply interested.
 T say, what a fne-iooking man, isn't he?"
 Miss Adams tossed her head.
 Think so? He's too lanky for my taste; like broad shoulders"
 She glanced at Evans coquettishly, but the inference was wasted on him.
 "He often comes up here" she added. T know him quite we'll"
 She waited, but there was no com ment forthcoming, and she fell to clicking the keys of the typewriter rather irascibly.
 So that was David Brethertoni
 Evans wished he had had a better chance of looking at him; 1t seemed strange that Mary was living under that mans roof. Mary, who filled his thoughts waking and sleeping: Mary, whom--in a wild moment be- fore he knew who she was--he had dared to love in his young dreams.

 Evans managed to be in the office when Bretherton called again; it was he who showed him into Mir. Fishers room. He wondered, with a touch of humor, what this tall, aristocratic- looking man would say were he to | dare to pluck up courage and ask i after Mary? He could imagine the way he would be withered and | snubbed and yet-he had once been a real friend to her In her distress and who knew but that the chance 4 might come again?
 He wondered what the two men were talking about behind that fast shut baize door; the incongruous thought flashed through his mind that perhaps some day there might l be an attachment between Mary and 1 Mir. Fisher. It was surprising how that thought hurt him; he tried to. dismiss it as being ridiculous.

To,pu to SOIue bad Boy Problem
By Organizing Junior Government
Youngsters to Perform Mayor, Chief Police and
Other Officials and Stop " indo,p Smashing
and RoaCdyism When Plan Staras..

Do the boys in your neighborhood
insist on playing on the lawns where
you are trying to coax grass to grow?
Do they, perchance, prefer to bat
balls in the alley, with imminent
hazard to the gas lamp, rather than
on the playground or in that lot only
block away?
Do they tear down street signs
faster than the authorities can put
them up? ~
If they do, don't call the police.
There is a better way, and the folks
over in Thrifton Village, Va. on the
other side of the Georgetown bridge,
have found it.
They are going to organize the
Junior Government League and in
vite all the children, both boys and
girls, from the first to the eighth
grades, inclusive, to take part in it.
Boys Full of Pep.
The boys are high-spirited over
there, but not bad boys" They are
the same sort of youngsters as are
found everywhere throughout the
length and breadth of America, full
of pep" and go.
Their elders-and fathers-holding
meeting of the Thrifton Improve
ment League recently, started out to
"bawl OUT the boys for various mis-
deeds.

terstate Commerce Commissions, got
up in the meeting right there and
proposed the Junior League in which
village government will tbe set up
with boys and girls acting as mayor,
chief of police, and other dignitaries
The idea made such a "hit" that the
evening of April 26 was set as the
date Tor a mass meeting in the parish
hall of Grace Church at Thrifton Viii
'lage, when the "grown-ups" will ex-
plalE to the children-their own-just
what is proposed.
Cooperation Expected.
The enthusiastic cooperation of the
boys and girls is expected, for when
children get interested in a PROPOSE
tion like this they are "enthused," as

The movement is a serious attempt
on the part of the several hundred
property holders in Thrifton village
to give the children new viewpoint
and get their cooperation for the
good of all, rather than "bawl them

the Thrifton Improvement League ap-
pointed committee to draw up plans
for the new government" The real
government of the village-and they
take pride in that term Village"
too-is by a supervisor of Arlington
county.
Under Committee Direction
The Junior Government League will
function under the direction of the
committee, which will constitute a
board of commissioners. Each COM
missioner will act as adviser to one
of the officers of the government"
Mr.. Candee is chairman of the COM
mittee, and will have charge of the
activities of the chief of police. Mrs.
Thomas c. Hendricks will oversee the
offices of village clerk and treasurer.
Mo. Edwin p. jenkins will direct the
work of the police matron and health
officer. III. Nj. Brown is to be adviser
to the mayor and engineer of public
works. H. c. Roberts will cooperate
with the fire chief
The commissioners will appoint the
first set of officers, and when the
league is well organized a village
meeting will be held and officers
elected for six-Inonth terms.
Each officer is to have a corps of
assistants to carry on the work of his
department, so every boy and girl in
town will actively participate in the
civic work.
