Sr. Director de Ell MUNDO,
San Juan. #
Estimado sefior y amigo: Il,
La muerte inesperada de mi padre,
me oblig6 regresar de Europa antes
de 10 que yo esperaba. Al pasar hace
tres dfas por San Juan, no tuve item
spo para ir verle, pesar de que mi
buen amigo Ell Lcdo. Bolivar Pagan
guerra presentarme usted. Pero ESQ
no importa porque pronto ire San
Juan entonces realizare ell deseo
que que tengo de conocerle personal
mente. -
Me permito transcribirle una carta
que mi amigo, ell poeta Cosme Ara
ma, acaba de escribirme con motive
de mi segundo hbro, pubicado en- Pa
ris, titulado "Crimenes del Imperia-
lismo'', para que tenga la amabili-
dad de publicarla en- la secci6n do
nlinical de su buen diario.
He aquf la carta:

Sr. Pedro j. Rosa,

pronto como 10 requiere la cortesia,
para darle las gracias.

T>HERE is an article in the April
J. WoMAN's HOME COMPANION by a
woman who has successfully led two
lives She is wife and mother, and she
is President of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs.
Now she asks if, after all, the two can
gotogether. Cana young mother Justify
herself in leaving 1.-THE four walls OF
home for outside interests2
And she utters this impressive warning:
Remember" she says, that after few swift
rushing years. your erstwhilc babies will demand
something more. They will want bfoadness OF
mind and Wilderness of sympathy. Unless all the
way up, even during the period Of her physical
ministration, the mother has been able to- give
this they will begin to measure her and find her
wanting; and the measurement grows less for
giving and the gulf wider, as the years slip BY.
THE Companions leadership rests on recognition
of this truth-that unless woman does lead two

inside life runs fearful risk of failure
The Companion is life Inside
four walls
IT is modern advanced life, however. Take only
one example. On pages "a and 1e3 of the April
number you will find list of 20 different pam
phlets and booklets which discuss various phases
of child and family health. These arc published
by the Companion to make the best thought of
the best physicians available to mothers. )
The Companion is life outside
the home, also
THERE is travel in this April number (page ~;
there is training in citizenship page 1S); there
is personal contact with famous folk page 1e);
there is the thong provoking essay of Arnold
Bennett; and the new novel by Dorothy Garfield,
which starts this month and is to be published
in three long parts-a score of invitations to
wider activity and thought.
Do women respond to the double interest OF such
an editorial policy? In forty-hve years the Com
panion gained million readers; in the past five
years it has gained million more.

THREE YOUNG BEARS
CAUGHT IN WATAUCA

Some days ago MIR. John McRae,
son of Mr.. Alexander McRae of Lin
vile while out looking for his sheep
on the Watauga side of the Grand
father walked right up to an old
bear and three cubs, the mother being
engaged in fashioning some sort of
bed for the youngsters from twigs.
When the bear saw Mr.. McRae she
took to the woods, and so did he.
He returned a little later and the
cubs were at the same place they
were left. He took the little fellows
home, sold one to man from Blow
ing Rock for $50 and still has the
two, for which he has been offered
fabulous prices. The little fellows
are quite gentle and are source Of
a4good deal of amusement te-the peo-
pie who have chanced to see + en-.
This is perhaps the most remarkable
bear story yet.
