Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The modern mother is aware that
it is necessary for the safety Of her
daughter that she should be ap-
prised of the facts Of life. But try
as she will sometimes the mother
finds her lips locked against life's
secrets. She wants to keep her
daughters mind pure, she wants to
feel that she is in ignorance Of any
thing sordid.
The older generation looked upon
all things physical as ugly. 1t is no
more than natural that while their
viewpoints have changed to a certain
degree, the aspect of sex and physl-
ology has not changed. They can no
more discuss these matters freely
they can chop off a finger. Habit Of
thought Is too strong for them.
Just because her mother has al
ways kept away from all mention Of
such topics the daughter finds it
the questions she could discuss with
others. Not a day passes but some
girl writes to ask where she can
get information about sex. In most
cases one can read between the lines
that this poor child has already
learned most of it's secrets and is
suffering the consequences of her
lifting too early the lid of Pandoras s
box. Whether it is knowledge or
fear that keeps youth treading
straight path Is a subject for earnest
discussion, but at any rate the girl
who understands herself and her inn
pulses and who views her relations
with life in a clear manner is safe
guarded in a way that no one fnno-
cent of its meaning can possibly be.
Youth and romance and real inno-
cence are undisturbed by knowledge.
Only experience can destroy inno-
cence. If one could firmly believe
this there would be no hesitancy on
the part Of the mother in telling her
child the simple facts of biology.
Mrs. w. K.-Your baby is a very
poor weight for her age. The formula
you are using is too weak for her.
Eighteen ounces of milk is the right
amount now, and increase this as
the baby gains weight. Please write
me asking for the "Weaning and
Feeding" leaf1et. 1t will help YOU in
working out a correct formula and
in suggesting changes

SUB ROSA
The Only. Only One.
BY ROBERT CULLEN
BY MIMI.

Olive is so disappointed in Chet she
doesn't really think she can ever feel
the same way toward him again. He
hasn't committed any great crime
s!ie admits that perhaps she's unrea-
! sonable. But her pet 1rearn, i;er most
cherished Illusion, has been rudely
| shattered.
| Her disappointment is so keen, she's
almost losing interest in the boy
| friend.
| You see they are very much in love
with each other--the prospect of
wedding is not too remote. And Olive
went about telling folks what lucky
girl she was, grabbing such prize as
| Chet. People were inclined to agree
with her.
| Then suddenly the other evening he
mentioned Gwen. And who is Gwen?"
! asked Olive with idle curiosity. Shed
never heard Of the young lady before.
"Oh?" he laughed easily, that's my
| old flame. yon know. / used to be en-
gagged to her when I lived out West.
We went together for about three
years Gosh, / used to think I was
crazy about that girl" he chuckled
| reminiscently.
| Olives eyes widened and darkened.
Crash. came tumbling down her pet
| dream She explained it afterward:
II wanted to be the only one in his
| life l wanted to feel that l was the
only girl he ever had loved or ever
could love. I wanted to be his first,
last and only. Now everything is
spoiled If he cared enough for that
other woman to want to marry her,
have no way of knowing that he cares
for me-
She's in earnest, poor kid. The bot
| tom has fallen out Of the world for
| her.
! She's a sentimentalst, you see, and
| sentimentalistS set great store by
| things which appear small to the rest
| of us.
olives case is not exceptional. There
are dozens of girls who think the most
beautiful part of their romance is
shattered when they learn that there
has been another before them.
Sometimes the knowledge makes
them unhappy for months, and even
years-so deeply are they concerned
with being the only, only one.
What they need is a change Of atti-
tude-they must understand that they
can still he the only one.
A girl can blot out all memories of
| her ancient rival If she works hard
| enough She can make herself mean
so much to a man that shes the only
person in the world for him-she
hasn't even the ghost of a predecessor
| to worry about.
| Chet loves Olive now, deeply and
sincerely. He loves her.
| Then she had no reason to feel her
| self like a second choice AS long as
he can't think of anything but her,
she's his past, present and future
she should worry about his former
! love-

Good Purchase at the Border.

You may have heard that the word
embroidery" comes from a French
word meaning border" Well, it isn't
an easy matter to make a good pur-
chase at the border. Almost all en-
broidery appeals to the eye, but the
eye must be trained to look further
than the surface. if the possessor of
the eye is going to buy embroidery of
good quality.
In the first place look at the edge
Of the scallops, and see whether they
are well finished. Several strips of
embroidery. you know. are woven over
one piece of cloth. Always select an
edging with a firm uncut scallop. so
that the edge won't fray after the en-
broidery is laundered.
II you wish your embroidery to
wear we'll, buy it In simple designs In
stead of very elaborate, poorly con-
structed designs. which are sometimes
held by fine Intellectual threads. In
good embroidery the heavy parts of
the design are held in place. and to-
gether, by tight, firm stitches. Cheap

WHEN WE co SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND III. ALLEN.

embroideries are usually the fanCiest,
but they are quick to become shabby
in appearance. If you can't buy good
embroidery. it's best to buy none at
all, because you will simply ruin the
entire appearance of a garment. Fin
1sh the garment in some other way.
Only small part of the embroidery
which you can now buy is made by
hand. It is usually the very highest
grade. Machine-made cotton embroid-
cry may be found on cambric, batiste.
nainsook and swiss. Generally. ca ambric
and nainsOok embroideries are used
on underwear, because both those ma
terials are also used for the garment.
Swiss and batiSte embroideries are
used in trimming dresses and waists
which may be made of organdie. lawn
and dimity, as well as swiss and
batiSte
Between hand and machine made
embroidery there is another kind which
you may find; it's called hand-loOm
machine made embroidery. The
machine in this case is guided by
hand and the embroidery is cut out by
hand. Hand-loOm machine embroid-
cry has some of the fineness and
beauty Of handmade stuff, and It
isn't as egular or set" as machine
made work. 1t is less expensive, too
Be sure when you are selecting
your embroidery not to choose any
that is on a background which Is
heavier in weave and weight than tho
garment on which it is to be used. 10
will look heavy and unattractive
The best rule to follow is TO buy EN-
broidery which has background thai
is identical or very similar to the MAJ
terial of the garment.
Embroidery comes by the yard, butt
1t comes in varying widths. II you'
are good shopper you can find very
fine embroidery at really bargain
prices because the width isn't in de-
mand. or the piece is too short to be
sold as regular stock. A careful hunt
will frequently yield you beautiful EN-.
broidery at "a negligible cost. Look
for the table marked odds and ends"
or fragments" for your real bargains.
Embroidery makes one of the dain-
tiest and most attractive of all trim
mings, and you will enhance the
beauty Of your wardrobe. and lower
your finding costs. if you will learn
how to buy embroidery of lasting
beauty and quality.

$50 YEARS AGO TODAY
BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR.
Story of the u. S. A.

Gen. Washington has been obliged
to inform Congress that it will be i'm
possible to prevent the landing of the
enemy on Long Island. I'VE shall
harass them as much as possible" h..
says, (which will be all that we can
do" He has disposed OF runlul
which has been industriously circu-
lated of late to the effect that Lord
Howe has made attractive peace pro-
posals. He says that this piece of
propa ganda was turned loose "by de-
signing persons probably to lull us
into a fatal security" and he an
nounCeS that mo such offer has been
made by Lord Howe, but, on the con-
trary. the army may expect an at
tack as soon as the wind and tide
shall prove favorable"
Although the enemy has as vet made
no move which indicates a direct at
tack on New York City, the general
is compelled to consider the possibil-
itv that their apparent design to de-
scend upon Long Island Is merely a
feint calculated TO draw the generals
attention and troops away from the
main point of attack. The Howe
brothers. the general and the ad-
miral. have certainly proved their
cleverness in one respect. They for
ever keep our general guessing as to
what their next move will be, and
when.

Position Well Stated

The pastoral letter Just issued by
the cardinals. archbishops and
bishops of the Catholic church in
this country with reference to the
Mexican situation is significant for
what II leaves unsaid.
II Is in no sense a demand for in
tervention or a call ION the faith
full" here or elsewhere to purely
human action.
The church authorities take a
saner and vastly more effective
stand than did the Knights OF Co
lumbus last August They offer a
well reasoned statement OF their
side Of the question. They recog-
nlze that the question has another
side. and that the Mexican govern
ment has a right to present II. They
are exercising no more than the
privilege of free speech which be
longs to any sect or citizen in this
country.
However. one may disagree with
their arguments, It is impossible not
to respect the dignifed, self-con-
trolled manner in which they have
spoken.
Meanwhile. and no matter what
Americans may think, the problem is
one for Mexico to solve.

GILLIOM'S CHARGE AND

The small consumers of this city robbed each
year of one-half a million of dollars for light and

This is the charge Of Attorney General Gilliom

The surprising thing is that the hearing on the
application for issue of ffty-fve millions of dol
lars of securities to promote merger did not stop
Immediately and the commission begin, as is It's
duty under the law to investigate this grave charge
If that charge be true, the commission has be-
fore it more important and pressing duty than the
application for merger and the sale of these uti
tiles which the attorney general brands criminal
For it is a crime to give or receive rebates.
Moreover the charge of Gilliom has the merit
of being specific.
He names the Indianapolis News as one of the
benefcares of this illegal system of rebates
He quoted specific figure as to be the amount
Of Illegal rebate which he says was given in one
month

One Days MarVeIS

Two marvellous inventions were
announced In the news Of yesterday.
DIR. e. f. w. Alexanderson has
perfected a television apparatus, by
which he declares man may see clear
across the Atlantic ocean, however
thick the fog or black the night.
John l.. Baird, British scientist,
has brought under control an in
visible ray by which 1t is possible
for men to see in total darkness. A
London newspaperman describes
how he sat in darkness and saw the
complete outlines Of his colleague.
also in the dark and at a distance,
projected upon a screen by means
of Baird's invisible ray.
The Alexanderson invention is
said to be capable of projeo ting not
only still pictures across the At
lantic, but movies as well.
We are certainly moving into a
field of miraculous capacities. The
power Of the senses is not only be-
ing expanded, but in many instances
is being altered.
Tt is comparatively easy to under.
stand how the eye can be helped by
the microscope, but when it comes
to looking an eighth of the way
around the world In spite of its curry
ature, penetrating white fog and
Egyptian darkness oy other means
than light rays, the ordinary man
feels that he is getting beyond his
depth.
