The Virgin islands in the Caribbean
sea were purchased from Denmark
for $50, 100000. The purchase was
made during the World war to shut
Germany out of possible submarine

had gone on internationally for hall
century. Secretary Seward first opened
the question with Denmark at the
close of the Civil war Denmark agreed,
the purchase was arranged and the
king babe farewell to his subjects
then Sumner in the senate killed the

Chronic Worry l.'eoer

We all know the chronic worrler

worries about never happen, and the
real problems of her life are not the
things she foresaw in time to fear.
But the fact remains that she squan-

Nursery for Children

Some young mothers are so e1er-
cised over the thought of germs that
they won't let their babies or children
play on the floor. They let them tum-
BILE or sit up to a table to play. Now
really, this seems a shame when chill
dren of all ages enjoy "scooting
around so much. No cutting table or
dining table can compare with floor
for place on which to build blocks or
set up railroad tracks. Why don't these
people have nursery with floor kept
clean enough and dustless enough to be
played upon? Have this room kept for
the children to play in and see thar
they wear little house slippers or san
dals when playing there and that no
grown-up enters who wears shoes that
have trod the streets.
