knows, or at least half-knows, when another woman is trying to steal her man away from her.
 On the Thursday after New Years day, Lottie Schultz called Robbie on the telephone and asked her if she'd made up her mind to take the place she offered-the position of governess to little Jolly.
 "Of course. if you're playing in some picture, I won't ask you to come," she said Are you, by any chance?"
 I'm not, and need the money and I'll come," Robbie answered her. It seemed the only thing for her to do at the time. and she did it.
 But she was not happy about it.
 'I'll be Gus neighbor while I'm there, though. That's something" she thought, and was more cheer full.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

A newly-born infant avoids light. The pupils of it's eyes are contract ed in light room. and the eyes will close if a bright light is brought before them.
 At about the sixth day the baby's eyes will sometimes follow light in the room and the infant may even turn it's head to follow the light. It is not before the third month that the infant is able 10 coordinate the action of the eyes for general purposes.
 The eyelids are also only under partial control at this time so that they will be partly separated dur. ing sleep.
 By the end of the sixth month the infant is usually able to rec ognize objects. Because of the sensitivity of the eye of the in fant 10 light. a newly born baby should be kept in a room that can be darkencd. and for the first few weeks the eyes should be pro. tected against strong light.
 lHc IS"ly-bOl1 llld1l DTODaDly hears nothing for the first 24 hours, and indeed sometimes for several days This is due to the fact the birth process sometimes results in a swelling of the mem brane that lines the cavities asso- ciated with the ear.
 Hearing gradually improves, and is unusually sharp for the early months of life so that slightest noise awakcns some babies. The baby apparently begins to recognize the direction of sound by the end of the second month, and by the end of the third month will turn it's the sound comes
 An investigator named Kussmaul found that even a newly-born in- fant can recognize the difference in taste between sweet, sour. and bit ter substances and will frequently raise considerable objection 10 the slightest variation in the taste Of Its food
 Nobody has yet been able to tell when the infant develops it's sense of smell, although the experiments thus far available seem to indicate that some of the sense is present even in the newly-born. Certainly. the ability to detect slight differ ences in odors does not come until later in life.
 The studies of various specialists indicate that girls as a rule talk two to four months earlier than boys. Adults insist that this prac- tice persists with increasing ire qancy during life.
 The child will begin toward the end of the first year to say papa" and "mama;' by the end of the second year 10 put words together in short sentences. and, if it Is q normal child. 10 show continued improvement from then on.
 Studies by experts in languages indicate that the names of persons are learned first, then the names of objects, then verbs, adverbs and adjectives, and finally the smaller parts of speech. For this reason. the child usually uses it's own name in requesting things before it de- velops the use of the personal pro- noun.
 If child two years of age makes no attempt to speak. a physician should be consulted promptly. az the difficulty may be with the hear ing. If the child does not hear speech, it is not likely to attempt the use of words.

Setting the Stage for Scene With

Mrs. Haker
 But do you suppose Mrs. Baker will be willing to come down to katherine's room ?" l asked when Lillian was outlining her scheme for staging my denunciatory interview with the queer lodgcr from the fourth floor.
 "Ordinarily, mo- my friend asked, "but this time we've got her going and coming. If she's put Mary up 10 this appeal to you, she'll be Johnny on the spot. On the other hand if the girls spiel was on the square. we'll get her by the simple ezpelient of sending Mary after her. She won't want to risk her influence over Mary by refusing the request, v
 I put my hand upward in q mili- tary salute.
 "You've thought of every possible angle" I said admiringly.
 She made a curious little grimace familiar to me as her way of ward ing off q compliment.
 ''All right. the bouquets are now an ll1b NdStS, Sltf Sstlu u uSt iNlN . ''and we don't need to worry about this business any more.

 I nodded an assent. and she look ed at her watch speculatively.

After all, il wasn't his fault that he had got l over his love for Stella, was it? Love wasn't the stort of thing that could be kept in mothballs. Some times. 1t just wore out.
 She climbed into the car. AS they started down Las Palmas street. she took the letter out of the pocket of her dress, and tore it into a hundred pieces. Tn, y tluttered out into the fresh wind like so many white butterflies.
 What's that you're throwing away" Gus asked, his free arm Eolding her close to his side.
 "Nothing-that matters now" Robbie faltered. She felt as if she lad betrayed a trust somehow.
 But love him too much to hurt him. she said to herself. as she sat beside him at a lunch counter and stirred the coffee that she couldn't drink.
 For two days Mrs. Mangan did nothing but talk about Stella. As she went about the house, packing up Stella's things to give to the Salvation Army if they would take them, she talked about her.
 She talked about her while Bob- bic was in the kitchen trying to read the papers and forget her. She talked about her morning, noon and night, until Robbie thought she would go mad if she didn't stop.
 She was the kind that doesn't know how to push herself" she said. T always knew she's never get anywhere, from the time l set eyes on her. Now, you take Mon icker. She's the kind that's sure to get ahead-brassy and nervy. Nobody could stop her from get ting what she wants. She'll be one of the famous stars one of these days, you mark my words. Not because she's pretty or specially smart--but just because she oes out for what she wants and gets it, That's the kind of girl you've got to be in pictures, l guess!"

 It came to her. all at on hat she didn't know how to push ''er- self. That she didn't know how to get ahead with no one to help her. That she was "softy" like Stella.
 For one thing, she was too proud to do the things that Monica would do. Practically steal the automo- tile. the clothes and the money that she needed
 "I've been brought up like q lady" she told herself. "and i's a great handicap to be a lady. when you want career of this sort where you deal with men all day long"

HEADS PLOT TO
DESTROYLABOR

Charging that the Interborough
sapid Transit Company was at the
head of a nationwide conspiracy of
employers to destroy the American
tabor movement, officers of both the
American Federation of Labor and
she Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes yesterday filed answer to the
Interborough application for an in
junction to prevent the further or
ganization of the New York traction
workers.
Answer Comprehensive.
The answer to the Interborough
application, filed before Supreme
Court Justice Wasservogel, was made
in behalf of the American Federation
of Labor and William Green, it's presi-
dent, the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
and VIM. D. Mahon, it's president;
Hugh Frayne, New York State organ
izer OF the A. F. of L.; P. ]. Shea and
J. H. Coleman, organizers for the
Amalgamated Association, and others.
The reply begins with an attack on
the "yellow dog" contract and the
company union and is based on the
right of labor to exist and function.
Y Attacks Company Union.
Arhe answer attacks the company
uniSen on the ground of "illusory"
valuS@a calls it "bogue" union
perpatrated upon the workers without
their consent and desire. The "yellow
dog" contract is declared to be illegal
on the grounds that it was drawn
under compulsion and duress when
company agents threatened to dis
charge workers who did not sign the
instrument.
Further charges against the Inter
borough are that in reporting to the
Transit Commission the company de-
liberately concealed "from the city of
New York and from it's citizens" large
sums of money expended for such un-
lawful purposes as spying, strike
breaking and fighting organized la
Dor.
In the attack on the company union
it is pointed out that the workers
have no right under this company
tool" The company officers have
complete control over the general
committee of the brotherhood, accord
ing to the unions reply.
The hearing upon the Interborough
application and the reply of organ

Wednesday.

But the injunction sought by the
Interborough goes even farther. If
this order is granted and observed,
its ultimate effect will be to legis-

accomplish.
Injunction, Political Weapon.
In the case of other injunctions q
certain pretense might still be main

Article II.
By ROBERT MITCHELL.

The injunction which the Inter-
borough Rapid Transit Company will
seek to obtain on Dec. 81 against
the whole organized labor movement
will in most respects break the ex-
isting injunction record. This claim
can be made even though in these
days of Injunction Democracy it is
no longer simple to carry off the
highest laurels in the fields.
In the past injunctions have sought
to prevent the organizing of workers,
the collection of dues, picketing, the
payment of strike benefits and other
union activities. The recent injunc-
tions in the Pennsylvania coal fields
have ordered the striking miners not
only to refrain from speaking to
"scabs" but also to refrain from sing
