 Beauty Is That Which Words or Pic
 lures Can't Express

Let's take the Eclipse" as an example. We, nearly all of us, saw pictures of Eclipses of years gone by. Were we gripped by them? Hardly.
 We all read about for mer Eclipses. Astronomers, in simple, interesting Ian guage told us all about the last one, before it took place. Yet all THAT did, was to make us more anx- ious and determined to SEE THE REAL THING! And we did see it-and we'll never forget it, will we?
 - Every day sees us un- packing new Spring mer- chandise. To picturize them and tell you they're beauti- ful, etc., means little! "The best part of beauty is that which words and pictures CAN'T eXpress!" Come and see the REAL thing. Come and see how YOU look in some of the new creations! No obliga- tion to Buy!

PARIS, Sept. 1S.-Tens of thou
sands Of illegitimate French hcildren
may yet bear a name.
Senator Louis Pasquet, prospective
godfather of these unfortu hates, pur-
poses to introduce a bill into the
French parliament to legit lmize some
classes Of French children who are
born out of wedlock.
1t is estimated that enc out of
every five French babies come into
the world fatherless before the law.
Social workers give many reasons
in explanation of this. The high
cost of living and the scarcity of
homes are two reasons advanced for
the failure of couples to marry.
Others advance the contention that
the war brought a laxity Of morals
which Is having it's repsrcussion to-
day in the number of illegitimate
births, but statistics show that this
was a problem in France years be-
fore the war.
Fault Is Personal
"The fault is personal, and only
the parents are guilty, so why
should the children suffer-" de-
lnands Senator Pasquet.
IT am not concerned with any
question Of morals. 1 leave for an
other the framing Of IA law which
could curb adultery, but 1 would
like to loosen the laws so that GER
tain of the children branded to-
day as illegitimate may escape the
stigma. During the nineteenth
century children born out Of wedlock
could under no conditions be recog-
nized or legitimatized. They could
not share in an estate Of their par
ents and legitimate children Of the
parents could even protest the gift
Of any money to their outlawed
brother or sister. But we are no
longer living in that century and
our laws should be revised"
Senator Pasquets bill will grant
new grip on life to four classes Of
children, provided he can obtain it's
passage over the protest Of certain
conservatives who will fight for
the preservation of the existing laws
with the contention that any re-
taxation of tho code would encourage
immortality. His four principal
changes follow:
Not Revolutionary
/. A mother, unmarried widow or
divorced, shall be allowed to recog-
nize and to legitimatize the birth
of her child.
2. In cases where the husband of
n child's mother refuses to recognize
the legitimacy of the child's birth,
its real father should be allowed to
sive it recognition and his name.
3. A man who becomes a widower
or is divorced shall be allowed to
recognize children born of another
woman than his wife during the
period Of his married life.
4. The removal of the law forbid
ding the recognition of children

KELLOGG TO SUCCEED HUGHES

KELLOGG TO SUCCEED HUGHES
Unexpected and therefore surprising
was the announcement that Secretary
of State Hughes would retire March 4, to
be succeeded by Frank D. Kellogg, now
ambassador to England. There had been
runOrS of possible changes in the cabinet
but Secretary Hughes's name had not been
widely mentioned. Mr.. Hughes's reaig-
nation followed close on the heels Of an
nOuncement that Charles B. Warren,
former ambassador to Japan and Mexico
had been appointed encouragement to
succeed Harlan F. Stone advanced to the
supreme court bench.
Pointing out that it was 20 years since
he entered public life, Secretary Hughes
wrote the president: Il feel that must
now ask to be permitted to return to pri-
%vatelife. AS foreign affairs are perennial
know of no more appropriate time to do
this than at the end of the. present adj
ministration." Mr.. Hughes reatfirmed
his 0 yalty TO his chief and the president
accepted his resignation with regret.
Announcement of Mr.. KeIIOgg's nOmina-
ton was simultaneous with word of Mr..
Hughes's resignation. Both are promi
I6ul IVpuUllCduS.
Friends of the secretary Of state say
he has for sometime been anxious to re-
turn to law practice TO recoup his private
fortunes, On the other hand, there are
those who point to ? lack Of harmony be-
tween Mr.. Hughes and the senate. Sen
ator BOrah, who succeeded the late Sea-
ator Lodge as chairman Of the senate
committee on foreign relations is out of
tune with Mr.. Hughes on many impor-
tant questions. In fact, it might be said
that Mr.. Hughes is a conservative while
Senator Borah is just The opposite. How
ever, rumors of an actual break in the
relationship between the secretary of
state and the administration is discredi-
ted.
Mr.. Kellogg is SO years old. A native
of New York. he re noved to Minnesota
at an early age and has siace made his
home in that state. He is a lawyer by
profession and was special counsel for
the government in the prosecution of the
paper and Standard Oil trusts, and in &C.
ton to dissolve a railroad merger. From
1917 to 1928 he served in the u. s. senate.
Last year he was appointed ambassador

Health in Rural Schools
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.

National Council of Education. In
this capacity he has made extern
sive studies Of children attending
the rural schools in America.
/ want my readers to know some
Of the conclusions of this commit
tee. Even though you heartily dis
agree with them. it will do no harm
to set you thinking about the i'm
portance of improving the sur
roundings of the little children of
this country.
Here are some quotations from
this report:
I'm every respect the country
child is more defective than the
city child. This is a most surpris-
ing reversal of popular opinion.
More than twice as many country
children suffer from malnutrition
as do city children. The former are
also more anaemic. have more lung
trouble and include more mental
detectives than do the latter.
THE art Of human care has prog
rcsscd much more slowly in the
country. The father in the city
spends, on the average, a larger
percentage Of his income for the
welfare Of his children than does
the father on the farm. The farm
er, relatively, raises everything else
more carefully and. as a rule, more
successfully than his children.
The rural school, from the stand
point Of health and general fitness
for its important uee, is the worst
type Of building in the whole coun-
try. including not only the types
of buildings used for human occu-
patton, but olSo those used for live
stock and all domestic animals. Ru-
raj schools nre, on the average,
less adequate for their use than
prisons, asylums, almshouscs, sta
bles, dairy barns, pigpens, chicken
houses and dog kennels are for their
uss."
This is dreadful arrsignment Of
the rural districts, isn't il? Is il
true? II 20. what is being done to
correct these evilst
II it isn't true. how can VIC eI-
plain these health statistics:
There must be round a reasonable
and convincing explanation for this
state Of things, or else We must find
means Of giving American chill
dren q better chance for health and
long life.

; He demonstrated his iron control
over himself when he refused to
give in to encouragement during
the long years when he met only
ridicule and rebuff. He showed it
day after day when in the face of
fears and mutiny he held like steel
to his great determination and in
the log book recorded simply each
day: This day we sailed West"
He showed his humility in his
oft-repeated realization >thst he
could attain his purpose only by
Gods help. ~.
He possessed courage Of 1.-TWO
kinds, as few men of his century
did.
He showed physical courage. He
faced the natural hazards of the sea
and the vague nameless terrors of
the unknown-thc imaginary sea
serpents and the generally believed
danger of falling off the edge of
the earth. His courageous heart
and iron resolution were shown by
those last three days when he kept
the mutinying crew sailing on into
the unknown.
He also possessed that rarer
courage, intellectual and moral
courage. At a time when it was
generally believed that the earth
was flat he followed what he
thought to be the truth in spite of
ridicule and the danger of religious
persecution. Both mentally and
physically he had the courage of
his convictions. -
The world would be infinitely bet
ter and mankind radically stronger
if we could all catch up with Co
lumbus in the possession of these

OVER LIES HURDLES
Can Nursery Phymes Be Demoralizing?
BY LOUIS E. BISCH

A recent discussion as to the
propriety of teaching Mother Goose
rhymes to children has focused the
attention upon a very important,
though neglected, side to child
training.
We have been teaching tales like
Tom. Tom the Piper's Son. Jack
and JILL" Little Miss Muffett,"
and "Rock-a-by Baby" without
considering the content Of the ideas
or the impressions they might leave
upon the child's immature and de-
veloping mind.
1t has remained for Mrs. Wini-
fred Sackville Slower, the eminent
educator, to attach fearlessly these
ancient conventions and to point out
the demoralizing quality that some,
at least, of the nursery rhymes
possess.
Consider the following for a mo-
ment:
Tom, Tom, the Piper's son,
Stole a pig and away he run,
The pig was eat and Tom was beat
And Tom went bowling down the
street"
In this jingle we have a combina-
ton Of bad grammar, bad moral
precopts, and the incubation Of the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-10-12

pernicious idea that corporal pun
isment is the way naughty children
should be chastised.
Such things we teach children at
one and the same time that We try
to make plain the why's and where
fores of the rules Of grammar, and
the value Of social and ethical
standards.
Obviously any thinking child
must be puzzled.
Obviously, too, we, as adults,
should at least be consistent.
And worst OF all, everything we
put in a child's mind somehow,
in some measure, influences its en-
tire thinking.
And there are plenty OF nursery
rhymes that are not bad grammar
nor sub-ersive in any sense of the
highest of moral standards.
Mrs. Slower herself has written
hundreds Of them and there are
hundreds besides.
Let us not hesitate to upset ira
dition when it does not square with
modern concepts.
Certainly many OF the Mother
Goose stories are quite out of date
and out of tune with advanced
pedagogies.
